A. 3/5 of the class are girls.
B. 96 of the pupils are boys.

A. To find this answer you subtract 2 from 5 to get 3 (numerator or top of fraction) then use 5 as the denominator or bottom of the fraction.

B. To find this answer, you divide 240 by 5, to show how many pupils are in 1/5 of the class (48). Then multiply 48 by 2, to get the 2/5 of the pupils who are boys (96).

I hope this helps!

Your schools talent show will feature 12 solo acts and ensemble 2 acts. The show will last 90 min. The 6 solo performers judged
kicyunya [14]
A.  12*x + 2*y = 90
       6*x + 2*y = 60

To write system of equation you just need to sum all solo and ensemble acts and make it equal to how much they will last for.

B.  Here we can multiply second equation with negative 1 and add it to first equation.
6x = 30
x = 5

now we replace x in any of 2 equations to get y.
30+2y = 60
2y = 30
y=15

Solo acts are 5 minutes long and ensemble acts are 15 minutes long

Answer:

<h3><u>Mean</u></h3>

<u />

\textsf{Mean}\:\overline{X}=\sf \dfrac{\textsf{sum of all the data values}}{\textsf{total number of data values}}

\implies \sf Mean\:(Nilo)=\dfrac{5+6+14+15}{4}=\dfrac{40}{4}=10

\implies \sf Mean\:(Lisa)=\dfrac{8+9+11+12}{4}=\dfrac{40}{4}=10

<h3><u>Standard Deviation</u></h3>

\displaystyle \textsf{Standard Deviation }s=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum X^2-\dfrac{(\sum X)^2}{n}}{n-1}}

\begin{aligned}\displaystyle \textsf{Standard Deviation (Nilo)} & =\sqrt{\dfrac{(5^2+6^2+14^2+15^2)-\dfrac{(5+6+14+15)^2}{4}}{4-1}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{482-\dfrac{40^2}{4}}{3}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{82}{3}}\\\\& = 5.23\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\displaystyle \textsf{Standard Deviation (Lisa)} & =\sqrt{\dfrac{(8^2+9^2+11^2+12^2)-\dfrac{(8+9+11+12)^2}{4}}{4-1}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{410-\dfrac{40^2}{4}}{3}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{10}{3}}\\\\& = 1.83\end{aligned}

<h3><u>Summary</u></h3>

Nilo has a mean score of 10 and a standard deviation of 5.23.

Lisa has a mean score of 10 and a standard deviation of 1.83.

The <u>mean</u> scores are the <u>same</u>.

Nilo's standard deviation is higher than Lisa's.  Therefore, Nilo's test scores are more <u>spread out</u> that Lisa's, which means Lisa's test scores are more <u>consistent</u>.

A line contains the point (4, 2) and has a slope of −3.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: the equation is y = - 3x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

c represents the y intercept

m represents the slope of the straight line.

The slope of the given line is - 3 and it contains the point (4, 2)

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 3, x = 4 and

y = 2 into y = mx + c. It becomes

2 = - 3 × 4 + c

2 = - 12 + c

c = 12 + 2

c = 14

The equation becomes

y = - 3x + 14
