A = event that a male highschool player plays on a college team
B = event that a female highschool player plays on a college team
C = event that a male college player is drafted by the pro leagues
D = event that a female college player is drafted by the pro leagues

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

Going from high school to college:
P(A) = 4500/549500
P(A) = 0.0082 <<-- value is approximate
P(B) = 4100/456900
P(B) = 0.0090 <<-- value is approximate
Females have a better chance of playing on college teams (since 0.0090 is larger than 0.0082)

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

Going from college to the pro leagues:
P(C) = 44/4500
P(C) = 0.0098 <<-- value is approximate
P(D) = 32/4100
P(D) = 0.0078 <<-- value is approximate
Males have a better chance of getting drafted by the pro leagues (since 0.0098 is larger than 0.0078)

Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

The legs are x and 15 and the hypotenuse is 25

x^2 + 15^2 = 25^2

x^2 +225 = 625

Subtract 225 from each side

x^2 +225-225 = 625-225

x^2 = 400

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(400)

x = 20

In a bolt factory, machines 1,2, and 3 respectively produce 20%, 30% and 50% of the total output. of their respective outputs 5%
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. 1/10 or 10%

b. 1/2 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the combination of machines 1, 2 and 3 produce 100% of the total output when added together, then the probability of choosing a bolt at random that is defective is: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10% out of 100% or 10/100, which is 1/10 or 10%.

If the bolt that is choosen at random is defective, than the probability that it came from machine 1 is 5/10 or 1/2 which is also 50%.

22.a) A fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750 of them on the same day.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: Ksh 6144

Step-by-step explanation:

On Thursday, a fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750. The number of oranges left will be: = 1948 - 750 = 1198

On n Friday, he sold 240 more oranges than on Thursday. This means the number of oranges sold is: = 240 + 750 = 990.

The number for f oranges left will then be: = 1198 - 990 = 208

On Saturday, he bought 560 more

oranges, the total oranges that the vendor has now will be:

= 208 + 560 = 768

Since sold all the oranges he had at a price of Ksh. 8 each, the amount if money made will be:

= Ksh 8 × 768

= Ksh 6144

The vendor made Ksh 6144

I need help with number 19
inysia [295]
Let's start by understanding that the graph is a linear line. We have a common difference if 4.5 for every 10x we have more.

We can start by finding the gradient, using rise over run. Let's take (10, 4.5) and (20, 9)

Our rise is 9 - 4.5 = 4.5 and our run is 10. Then, our gradient becomes 4.5/10 = 0.45

Now, we can substitute points using the point-slope form.

y - 4.5 = 0.45(x - 10)
y - 4.5 = 0.45x - 4.5
Hence, our line becomes y = 0.45x and you can verify by substituting in points from the table.
