A)
First note that the plates can have between 4 and 6 symbols so we will need to find the number of plates with 4 symbols, 5 symbols and 6 symbols. We add these to get the total. In this part repetition of symbols is allowed. Since there are 26 + 10 =36 possible symbols we look at each position on the plate and think of how many choices there are. We multiply the number f choices using the counting principal since the choices are each independent -- one symbol does not affect another. There are 36 choices for the first symbol, 35 for the second and so on. The number of plates is:
4-symbols = (36)(36)(36)(36)=36^4
5 symbols = (36)^5
6 symbols = 36^6
So the total here is: 36^4+36^5+36^6

B) Here we do not repeat symbols so there are 36 choices for the first symbol but only 35 for the next and 34 for the one after and so on.
4-symbols = (36)(35)(34)(33)
5 symbols = (36)(35)(34)(33)(32)
6 symbols = (36)(35)(34)(33)(32)(31)
So the total here is: (36)(35)(34)(33)+(36)(35)(34)(33)(32)+(36)(35)(34)(33)(32)(31)

c)
In order for there to be a repeated symbol we have 36 choices for the first symbol, 36 for the next and so on. However, for the last symbol we have to pick from one of the ones already selected so there are 3, 4 or 5 choices respectively.
4-symbols = (36)(36)(36)(3)
5 symbols = (36)(36)(36)(36)(4)
6 symbols = (36)(36)(36)(36)(36)(5)
So the total here is: (36^3)(3)+(36^4)(4)+(36^5)(5)

D)
The probability is given by (the number of plates with at least one repeated symbol)/(the total number of plates if repetitions are allowed) = (the answer to c) / (the answer to a)

What does a equal -5(6a+21)=-15
borishaifa [10]
Step 1 : Simplify both sides
-5(6a+21)=-15
(-5)(6a)+(-5)(21)=-15
-30a-105=-15
Step 2 : Add 105 to both sides
-30a-105+105=-15+105
-30a=90
Step 3 : Divide both sides by -30
-30a=90
—————
-30 -30

a = -3

1 Which type of data is best represented using a line plot?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

#1) D frequency data that can be plotted on a number line ; #2) A Sarah read twice as many chapters Wednesday as Monday, C Sarah read more than four chapters on two days, F Sarah read at least three chapters on four days, and H The total number of chapters Sarah read on the weekend was the same as the total number she read on the weekdays.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) A line plot shows the frequencies of data.  It is displayed over a number line; this makes the best choice for the answer "frequency data that can be plotted on a number line."

#2) We can see that Sarah read 2 chapters on Wednesday and 1 chapter on Monday.  This is twice as many chapters.

She read more than 4 chapters on both Saturday and Sunday.

She read 3 or more chapters on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The total number of chapters she read on the weekend was 5+6 = 11.  The total number of chapters she read on the weekdays was 1+3+2+2+3 = 11.  These are the same.

Which equation represents a line through (-4, 3) that is perpendicular to y=x+7?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

B. y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the new line will be -1.

Plug the slope and the given point into y = mx + b to find b:

y = mx + b

3 = -1(-4) + b

3 = 4 + b

-1 = b

Then, plug this and the slope into y = mx + b

y = -x - 1

So, the correct answer is B, y = -x - 1
