A dog weighs two pounds less than three times the weight of a cat. The dog also weights twenty-two more pounds than the cat. Wri

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

the cat weighs 21 pounds.

the dog weighs 43 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

dog = 3x-20 = x + 22

cat = x

3x-20 = x+22

3x = x+42 (add 20 to both sides)

2x = 42 (subtract x from both sides)

x = 21

Out of 450 applicants for a job, 206 are male and 62 are male and have a graduate degree.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

0.3009 is the probability that the applicant has graduate degree given he is a male.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given he following in the question:

M: Applicant is male.

G: Applicant have a graduate degree

Total number of applicants = 450

Number of male applicants = 206

$n(M) = 206$

Number of applicants that are male and have a graduate degree = 62

$n(M\cap G) = 62$

$\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

$P(M) = \dfrac{206}{450} = 0.4578$

$P(M\cap G) = \dfrac{n(M\cap G)}{n} = \dfrac{62}{450} = 0.1378$

We have to find the probability that the applicant has graduate degree given he is a male.

$P(G|M) = \dfrac{P(G\cap M)}{P(M)} = \dfrac{\frac{62}{450}}{\frac{206}{450}} = \dfrac{62}{206} = 0.3009$

Thus, 0.3009 is the probability that the applicant has graduate degree given he is a male.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

independent and explanatory

Step-by-step explanation:

In a study, an independent variable may be defined as the variable that does not affect the other variables in the study when it is changed. Thus a variable is said to be independent when it is not affected by the any other variable in the study.

Whereas, an explanatory variable can be manipulated or changed by the experimenter. It is the variable that is not independent for certain variables.

Thus in the context, the scatterplot showing the total precipitation and the percent of the people who tested positive for the malaria test. The precipitation from the graph is the independent as well as the explanatory variable.

Solve by quadratic formula. x squared plus x plus 1 = 0

Tasya [4]

Remember that the quadratic formula is: $\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$ .

$a$ stands for the coefficient of the first term, the one associated with the $x^2$ , $b$ stands for the coefficient of the second term, the one associated with $x$ , and $c$ stands for the value of the constant.
