there is a ratio of 5 boys to 3 girls in the chorus. They are 24 boys in the chorus. How many girls are there?

Ok, so at first this question seems tricky, since 5 does not go into 25. However, you can't have a percentage of 1 person. Since 5 goes into 25 5 times, then we will go with that. So multiply 3 x 5 to get 15 girls. Because you can't have a fraction of a single person.

You have to use proportion for this problem, so you do

5 boys = 3 girls
24 boys = ? girls
24 times 3 equals 72. 72 divided by 5 equals 14.4. You have to round this answer to get 15 girls.
Hope this helped :D

Part 2. Show your work in solving the equation. Include the work to check your solution and show that your solution is extraneou

notsponge [240]

Extraneous solutions are the values that we get when solving equations which aren't really solutions to the equation.

<h3>What are extraneous solutions?</h3>

Your information is incomplete. Therefore, an overview will be given. An extraneous solution is the root of a transformed equation which is not a root of the original equation since it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

The reason extraneous solutions exist is simply that some operations produce extra answers, and these operations are a part of the path to solving the problem.

Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 81.2 and a standard deviation of 3.6. What is the probability of a rand

Misha Larkins [42]

<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of a randomly selected student scoring in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 81.2

And a standard deviation of 3.6.

We have to find What is the probability of a randomly selected student scoring between 77.6 and 88.4?

For that we are going to subtract probability of getting more than 88.4 from probability of getting more than 77.6

Now probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 - area of z – score of 88.4

$\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\mathrm{score}=\frac{88.4-\mathrm{mean}}{\text {standard deviation}}=\frac{88.4-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{7.2}{3.6}=2$

So, probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 – area of z- score(2)

= 1 – 0.9772 [using z table values]

= 0.0228.

Now probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 - area of z – score of 77.6

$\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\text { score }=\frac{77.6-\text { mean }}{\text { standard deviation }}=\frac{77.6-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{-3.6}{3.6}=-1$

So, probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 – area of z- score(-1)

= 1 – 0.1587 [Using z table values]

= 0.8413

Now, probability of getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 = 0.8413 – 0.0228 = 0.8185

Hence, the probability of a randomly selected student getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.
