Y=kx+b
line is perpendicular y=1/3x+6⇒ k=- $\frac{1}{ \frac{1}{3} }$ =-3

so line y=-3x+a
this line that passes through (-9,12)⇔x=-9, y=12, so 12=-3(-9)+a
12=27+a
a=12-27
a=-15
y=-3x-15

P.s.picture to test solutions in the application

D: 1/3x-y+6, A(-9, 12)
md=-b/a=1/1/3=3, md=slope d

d`: y-yA=md(x-xA)
y-12=3(x+9)
y-12=3x+27
=> d`: 3x-y+15=0

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.90 . On Monday, 159 tickets were sold for a total sales

frez [133]

C = child tickets
a = adult tickets

Solve this with the substitution method.
Make two equations:

6.30c + 9.90a = 1,246.50
c + a = 159

Solve for c.
Subtract 9.90a from both sides.

6.30c = 1,246.50 - 9.90a
Divide both sides by 6.30.

c = 197.86 - 1.57a (rounded to hundredths)
Plug c into second equation.

197.86 - 1.57a + a = 159
Combine like terms.

197.86 - 0.57a = 159
Subtract 197.86 from both sides.

-0.57a = -38.86
Divide both sides by -0.57.

a = 68.18
round up to ones: 68

 $\boxed {68~adult~tickets}$ were sold.

Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon. 18 years ago, Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon.

Zigmanuir [339]

I hope this helps you

Brandon x

Michael 3x

18 years ago

Brandon x-18

Michael 3x-18

9 (x-18)=3x-18

9x-9.18=3x-18

9x-3x=9.18-18

6x=8.18

x=8.3

x= 24

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary for new college graduates in health

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a) The probability that a new college graduate in business will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.22965 or 23%.

b) The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.11123 or 11%.

c) The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of less than $40,000 is P=0.14686 or 15%.

d) A new college graduate in business have to earn at least $77,133 in order to have a starting salary higher than 99% of all starting salaries of new college graduates in the health sciences.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the probability that a new college graduate in business will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000?

For college graduates in business, the salary distributes normally with mean salary of $53,901 and standard deviation of $15,000.

To calculate the probability of earning at least $65,000, we can calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{65000-53901}{15000} =0.74$

The probability is then

$P(X>65,000)=P(z>0.74)=0.22965$

The probability that a new college graduate in business will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.22965 or 23%.

b. What is the probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000?

For college graduates in health sciences, the salary distributes normally with mean salary of $51,541 and standard deviation of $11,000.

To calculate the probability of earning at least $65,000, we can calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{65000-51541}{11000} =1.22$

The probability is then

$P(X>65,000)=P(z>1.22)=0.11123$

The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.11123 or 11%.

c. What is the probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary less than $40,000?

To calculate the probability of earning less than $40,000, we can calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{40000-51541}{11000} =-1.05$

The probability is then

$P(X$

The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of less than $40,000 is P=0.14686 or 15%.

d. How much would a new college graduate in business have to earn in order to have a starting salary higher than 99% of all starting salaries of new college graduates in the health sciences?

The z-value for the 1% higher salaries (P>0.99) is z=2.3265.

The cut-off salary for this z-value can be calculated as:

$X=\mu+z*\sigma=51,541+2.3265*11,000=51,541+25,592=77,133$

A new college graduate in business have to earn at least $77,133 in order to have a starting salary higher than 99% of all starting salaries of new college graduates in the health sciences.

In a class of strength 60, 75% like to become teachers. how manu dont like to be teachers?

timurjin [86]

No. of people don't like to be teacher

= 100% - 75% = 25%

<h3> $\frac{25}{100} \times 60 \\ = 15$ </h3>

So, 15 number of students doesn't like to be teacher
