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

What are the roots of the polynomial equation?<br><br> x2−14x−32=0
Dmitry [639]

We are given the quadratic equation :

x^{2} -14x-32=0

Now let us use AC method to factorise it.

Step 1:

Find product of A and C

A=1 and C =-32

A*C =-32

Step 2:

Find factors of -32 such that they add up to give -14.

Factors of -32 that add up to give -14 are -16 and 2.

Step 3:

Rewrite the equation using factors found in step 2.

x^{2} -16x +2x -32 =0

Step 4:

Factoring by grouping.

x(x-16) +2(x -16) =0

(x-16) (x+2) =0

Step 5:

Find roots.

x-16=0 gives x=16

x+2=0 gives x=-2

Answer : Roots of the given Polynomial equation are 16 and -2.

On August 7, 2007 Barry Bonds hit his 756th home run, breaking the all-time career home run record, formerly held by Hank Aaron.
svp [43]

From the stemplot, it can be taken that:

Both were very consistent home run hitters, due to the great amount of seasons with at least 20 home runs. Bonds had the biggest outlier, with a season of 73 home runs, while Aaron distribution was less spread.

-------------------------------

  • From the stemplot, it can be taken that Bonds had the biggest outlier, which was the season with 73 home runs.
  • His season with the lowest amount of home runs was also less than Aaron, as he had a 5 home run season while Aaron lowest amount was 10.
  • They both had a lot of seasons with at least 20 home runs, so both very consistent.

Thus, we can take that:

Both were very consistent home run hitters, due to the great amount of seasons with at least 20 home runs. Bonds had the biggest outlier, with a season of 73 home runs, while Aaron distribution was less spread.

Two bags had 100 kilograms of sugar each. after taking out 3 times as much sugar from bag one than bag two, bag one had half as
Serjik [45]

According to the given statement, we can get the equation:

50 - 3x = 1/2 (50-x)

where x = amount removed from bag two, 3x removed from bag one

 

Then we multiply both sides by 2 (to eliminate the ½)

 

100-6x= 50-x

Add 6x to both sides

100= 50-5x

Then subtract 50 from both sides

50=5x

Lastly, divide by 5

10=x

 

Therefore 10 kg of sugar was removed from bag 2

 

further, 3x= 30, so 30 kg of sugar was removed from bag 1.

 

50-30=20 kg remaining in bag 1.

<span>50-10=40 kg remaining in bag 2.</span>
