Jose asks his friends to guess the higher of two grades he received on his math tests. He gives them two hints. The difference o

f the two grades is 16. The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52. The system that represents his scores is below. x – y = 16 1/8 x+ 1/2 y = 52 What is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests?
A. 48 B. 52 C. 80 D. 96

Option D. 96 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Let the higher grade be = x

Let the lower grade be = y

As given, The difference of the two grades is 16

x-y=16 or x=16+y   .... (1)

The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52.

\frac{1x}{8}+\frac{1y}{2}=52   ... (2)

Putting the value of x=16+y in equation (2)

\frac{16+y}{8}+\frac{y}{2}=52

\frac{16+y+4y}{8}=52

\frac{16+5y}{8}=52

16+5y=416

5y=400

y=80

As x=16+y

x=16+80 = 96

Hence, higher grade is 96.

Six different colored dice are rolled. Of interest is the number of dice that show a one. In words, define the random variable X
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Six dice (each of a different color) are rolled. Since the number of times the 6 dice were rolled isn't stated, take it to be 1.

Hence, 6 dice are rolled at once for this experiment.

Of interest is the number of dice that show a "one". In other words, the variable in question (X) is:

The number of dots that show on the upward face of the rolled dice.

The values that X may take on are:

1  2  3  4  5  6

On average, how many dice would you expect to show a one?

One die.

How is this gotten? By finding the probability that a one or one dot appears when the 6 dice are rolled at once. Since there are 6 dice in number, and each die has the same 6 faces containing dots, the probability of getting a one is 1/6. In this case, one out of 6 dice is expected to show one dot.

Find the probability that all six dice show a dot in just one toss.

Logically, this probability is going to be very small! It is almost impossible for all 6 dice to land on the same face in just a single toss. In other words, expect many decimal places in the probability figure.

1/6 divided by 6  = 0.167/6  = 0.028 approximated to three decimal places.

This would also represent the probability that 2 dots, 3 dots, or any other number of dots appears on all dice in one toss!

Is it more likely (in this experiment) that 3 or 4 dice will show a one (a single dot)?

The answer is yes! It is more likely that 3 or 4 dice (instead of all 6) will show a one or will show the same number of dots.

Kudos!

A rabbit population doubles every 4 weeks. There are currently five rabbits in a restricted area. If t represents the time, in w
My name is Ann [436]
First, you have to find how many weeks are in 98 and to do so, you would divide it by 7. which turns out to be 14. If you divide 14 by 4 you'll find that their population will double 3 times, but not 3.5 because it is every 4 full weeks.
The equation will look like this, however, I'm not completely certain about the format. I'm using the formula for exponential growth
P(t)=r(2)^t
I did use t as weeks, but for every 4 weeks. R is the number of rabbits. If we were to input our information, we'd get:
P(3)=5(2)^3
If you work it out, you get 40 rabbits. In 14 weeks, the rabbits will double 3 times, so if we were to just figure it out without using the formula, we could double 5 which is 10, double it again, which is 20, and then double it a third time. which is 40.

Y = x2 − 2x − 19
xenn [34]
Y = 5 - 4x

5 - 4x = x^2 - 2x - 19
0 = x^2 + 2x -24
0 = (x + 6)(x - 4)
Therefore x = -6 (Given) or 4

x = 4, y = -9
(4,-9) is the other solution
