Answer:

≈ 197 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by writing what we know.

150 students sampled

68 prefer soccer

59 prefer basketball

23 prefer swimming

Part A

If 59 students prefer basketball out of the 150 students sampled then we divide 59/150 in order to get the percentage of students that prefer basketball.

59/150 ≈ 39.33%       Remember this is only a sample of the students so it is approximate.

Now that we have the percentage, we can multiply it by the entire student body to get an approximate number of all students that prefer basketball.

39.33% = .3933

.3933 * 500 = 196.66  ≈ 197 students   (because we can't have a partial student we round up)

Graph the line with slop 3 and y-intercept 1
Mila [183]
First, you will plot the point. 
So, your first point will be (0,3) since that is the y intercept. 
The next point would be (1,6)
Then (2,9)
Now, lets get the left
Another point would be (-1,0)
Then (-2,-3)

Now that you have those points, plot them, and draw a line

A rubber ball has a radius of about 2.86 in. Can the ball be packaged in a box shaped like a cube with a volume of 125 in3?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

I am not sure what the values needed to add in / etc, but here is the height of the box: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is a kind of rectangle where all the sides are the same. So to find volume, cube the length of any side. To find height, calculate the cube root of a cube's volume. For this example, the cube has a volume of 125. The cube root of 125 is 5. The height of the cube is 5.

(hopefully this is correct, have a nice day!)
