4 0

Answer:

Tahiya attempted 3 incorrect answers.

Helmin attempted 11 incorrect answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct = +4

Incorrect = -3

1) Tahiya got 12 correct answers and scored a 40, the number of incorrect answers was:

4*12-3I=40\\I=\frac{8}{3}\\I=2.67

2) Helmin got 5 correct answers and scored a -14, the number of incorrect answers was:

4*5-3I=-14\\I=\frac{34}{3}\\I=11.33

In both cases the number of incorrect answers obtained is a fraction, which means that either the data provided is inaccurate, or that the scores obtained by the students are approximate. Let's round the number of incorrect answers to the nearest whole answer.

Tahiya attempted 3 incorrect answers.

Helmin attempted 11 incorrect answers.

Is it possible to obtain a negative value for the variance or the standard deviation?
Kaylis [27]
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which is the average squared deviation from the mean and as an average of some squared numbers it can't be negative<span>. 

</span><span>The smallest value variance can reach is zero. This is when all the numbers in the data set are the same, therefore all the deviations from the mean are zero, all squared deviations are zero and their average is also zero.</span>

Which ratio is proportional to 18/28 ? <br> Help me plzzzz i will give brainliest
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

18/21 = 30/35

Step-by-step explanation:

so the problem says 18/21 so if that's the correct ratio to proportion to the answer would be. 30/35. the reason is that you can divide 18 and 21 by 3 to get 6/7 then if you multiply by 5 you get 30/35. Dividing and multiplying both the denominator and numerator keeps the ratio proportional.

Solve each system by substitution.<br> y=-4x-9 y=3x+19
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x=-4, y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the first equation, y = -4x - 9, so we can substitute y in the second equation for -4x - 9.

y = 3x + 19

-4x - 9 = 3x + 19

Add 9 to both sides

-4x = 3x + 28

Subtract 3x

-7x = 28

Divide by -7

x = -4

Plugging this into the equation, we have:

y = -4x - 9

y = -4(-4) - 9

y = 16 - 9

y = 7
