Answer

so there are 7 singing acts and 5 comedy acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= number of singing acts.

Let y= number of comedy acts.

We will take x+y=12 as our first equation, as there are 12 shows in total. We will take 5x+3y=50 as our second equation as there are 50 total minutes, and singing acts are 5 mins and comedy acts are 3 mins.

We solve x+y=12

Y=-x+12

We know y=-x+12, so we will substitute that for the y in the second equation.

1. Substitute 5x+3(-x+12)=50

2. Distribute 5x-3x+36=50

3. Solve 2x+36=50

2x=14

X=7

Now that we have found x, we will find y by substitute the x in 5x+3y=50 with the value, 7, that we found for x.

5(7)+3y=50

35+3y=50

3y=15

Y=5

The length of a text messaging conversation is normally distributed with a mean of 2 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.5 min
Hitman42 [59]
Given:
μ = 2 min, population mean
σ = 0.5 min, population standard deviation

We want to find P(x>3).

Calculate the z-score
 z= (x-μ)/σ = (3-2)/0.5 = 2

From standard tables, obtain
P(x ≤ 3) = P(z ≤ 2) = 0.9772
Therefore
P(x > 3) = P(z > 2) = 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

Answer: 0.02275

The density of oxygen is 0.001429 grams per cubic centimeter. How is this number written in
Anika [276]

We have been given that the density of oxygen is 0.001429 grams per cubic centimeter. We are asked to write the given number in scientific notation.

To convert a number into scientific notation, we write the given number as product of two numbers. One factor is a number between 1 and 10, while the 2nd factor is power of 10.  

When a decimal is to the left of given number, then we need to move the decimal to right such that the number gets between 1 and 10. Then, we multiply the number by negative power of 10 that many times, we moved the decimal to right.    

We can see that decimal is to left of our number. To place decimal after 1, we have to multiply 10 to 3 times. To keep the value of number same we will multiply the same negative power (negative 3).

0.001429\times 10^3\times 10^{-3}

(0.001429\times 10^3)\times 10^{-3}

(1.429)\times 10^{-3}

1.429\times 10^{-3}

Therefore, the number 0.001429 will be 1.429\times 10^{-3} in scientific notation.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)180
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

he sum of the angles in all these triangles will be n x 180 degrees. The sum of the angles around the interior point is clearly 360 degrees, so the sum of the polygon’s angles will be (180n)-360 = (n-2) x 180 degrees.Here we have (n-2) x 180 = 2160, so n-2 = 12. So the polygon has 14 sides. 606 views

In a raffle, 1,000 tickets are sold for $2 each. One ticket will be randomly selected and the winner will recieve a laptop compu
Kryger [21]

Answer:

$ 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to define the expected value of the ticket that would be the sum of the value for all event probabilities.

That is, if you buy 1 ticket, for each participant the probabilities are:

1. 1/1000 to get a $ 1,200 item

2. 999/1000 to get nothing ($ 0).

That is to say:

(1/1000) * $ 1200 + (999/1000) * $ 0 = (1/1000) * $ 1200 = $ 1.2

Therefore, the expected value is $ 1.2, this means that in reality each participant pays $ 0.8 more than the ticket is worth
