Answer:

<h2>a) 15% b) 10.25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = number of expected outcome/total outcome.

a)Total number of student is the total outcome = 40

Expected number of outcome is the number of students who bought 20 or more books = 6 (number of students who bought 20-24 books)

Probability of those students who bought 20 or more books =  6/40 = 0.15

Expressing as percentage = 0.15 * 100 = 15%

This means that 15% of the total students bought 20 or more books

b) Mean is calculated using the formula \overline x =\frac{\sum fx}{N}

f is the frequency

x is the midpoint of the class interval

N is the total number of students.

Check the attachment for the frequency table.

\overline x = \frac{410}{40}\\ \overline x = 10.25

Mean number of books bought is 10.25

A chess club with 25 members is electing a new president. Abdul received 23 votes. What percentage of the club members voted for
cluponka [151]

Answer

92%

Explanation

23 out of 25 people voted Abdul.

So that means \frac{23}{25} people voted Abdul.

When you divide 23 by 25 you get 0.92 which is 92% (multiply by 100).

You divide because a fraction means the numerator divided by the denominator.

A rectangular garden is divided into two sections as shown.
azamat

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras (for right-angled triangles) :

c² = a² + b²

c being the Hypotenuse, the side opposite of the right angle. and that would be here the diagonal.

c = diagonal = 10 ft

therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10/2 = 5 ft

10² = 5² + b²

100 = 25 + b²

b² = 75

b = length = sqrt(75) = 8.660254038... ft

use the definition of countinuity to find the value of k so that the function is continuous for all real numbers
liubo4ka [24]

First of all, recall the definition of absolute value:

|x| = \begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x

So if <em>x</em> < 4, then <em>x</em> - 4 < 0, so |<em>x</em> - 4| = -(<em>x</em> - 4), and the first case in <em>h(x)</em> reduces to

\dfrac{|x-4|}{x-4}=\dfrac{-(x-4)}{x-4} = -1

Next, in order for <em>h(x)</em> to be continuous at <em>x</em> = 4, the limits from either side of <em>x</em> = 4 must be equal and have the same value as <em>h(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 4. From the given definition of <em>h(x)</em>, we have

h(4) = 5k-4\cdot4 = 5k-16

Compute the one-sided limits:

• From the left:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to4^-}h(x) = \lim_{x\to4}\frac{|x-4|}{x-4} = \lim_{x\to4}(-1) = -1

• From the right:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to4^+}h(x) = \lim_{x\to4}(5k-4x) = 5k-16

If the limits are to be equal, then

-1 = 5<em>k</em> - 16

Solve for <em>k</em> :

-1 = 5<em>k</em> - 16

15 = 5<em>k</em>

<em>k</em> = 3
