200 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 200 students

, 80 plan to major in mathematics, 100 plan to major in computer science, and 30 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science. Using this information, answer each of the following questions. Let M be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science. What is P(M), left parenthesis, M, right parenthesis, the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?

<u>2. What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?</u>

  • P(M) = number of students who plan to major in mathematics / number of students

  • P(M) = 80 / 200 = 0.4

3. One of the graphs represents
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

3x-2y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

Divide each term by −2 and simplify.

y=-3+\frac{3x}{2}

Rewrite in slope-intercept form

y=\frac{3}{2} *-3

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of m and  b using the form y=mx+b

m=\frac{3}{2}

b=-3

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: \frac{3}{2}

y-intercept: -3

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding  y values.

Choose 0 to substitute in for x to find the ordered pair.

(0,−3)

Choose 1 to substitute in for x to find the ordered pair.

(1,-\frac{3}{2} )

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

slope:\frac{3}{2}

y-intercept:-3

A spherical hot air balloon has a diameter of 55 feet when the balloon is inflated the radius increases at a rate of 1.5 feet pe
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: 46.90mins

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data:

The diameter of the balloon = 55 feet

The rate of increase of the radius of the balloon when inflated = 1.5 feet/min.

Solution:

dr/dt = 1.5 feet per minute = 1.5 ft/min

V = 4/3·π·r³

The maximum volume of the balloon

= 4/3 × 3.14 × 55³

= 696556.67 ft³

When the volume 2/3 the maximum volume

= 2/3 × 696556.67 ft³

= 464371.11 ft³

The radius, r₂ at the point is

= 4/3·π·r₂³

= 464371.11 ft³

r₂³ = 464371.11 ft³ × 3/4

= 348278.33 ft³

348278.333333

r₂ = ∛(348278.33 ft³) ≈ 70.36 ft

The time for the radius to increase to the above length = Length/(Rate of increase of length of the radius)

The time for the radius to increase to the

above length

Time taken for the radius to increase the length.

= is 70.369 ft/(1.5 ft/min)

= 46.90 minutes

46.90mins is the time taken to inflate the balloon.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

420.9

Step-by-step explanation:

420.86827 ≈ 420.9 because we need to round to one decimal place.

Since 6 is greater than 5, we round 8 up to make it 9
