Answer:

The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Width of the sports field = At least 60 yards

Area of the sports field = 240 - 400x square yards

We can conclude the shape of the sports field is rectangular.

2. Find the dimensions of the sports field.

A. We need to find the Greatest Common factor between 240 and 400, this way:

The factors of 240 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240 .

The factors of 400 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400 .

Then the greatest common factor is 80.

This GCF is also higher than 60, therefore it's one of the dimensions of the sports field.

Now, we calculate the other side of the sports, this way:

Second dimension of the sports field = (240 - 400x)/80

Second dimension of the sports field = 3 -5x

The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards

Box 1 contains 1000 lightbulbs of which 10% are defective. Box 2 contains 2000 lightbulbs of which 5% are defective. (a) Suppose

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a) There is a 66.7% chance that you were given box 1

b) There is a 80% chance that you were given box 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to note that there is a 1/10 chance of getting a defective bulb with box 1 and a 1/20 chance in box 2.

a) To find the answer to this, find the probability of getting a defective bulb for each box. Since there is only one bulb pulled in this example, we just use the base numbers given.

Box 1 = 1/10

Box 2 = 1/2

From this we can see that Box 1 is twice as likely that you get a defective bulb. As a result, the percentage chance would be 2/3 or 66.7%

b) For this answer, we need to square each of the probabilities in order to get the probability of getting a defective one twice.

Box 1 = 1/10^2 = 1/100

Box 2 = 1/20^2 = 1/400

As a result, Box 1 is four times more likely. This means that it would be a 4/5 chance and have a probability of 80%

Pls help me help me pls

Answer:

Point B

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines given:

y= 2/5x - 1/2
y= -1/3x +2/3

x coordinate of intersection of given lines is:

2/5x - 1/2= -1/3x+2/3
2/5x+1/3x= 2/3 +1/2
6/15x+5/15x= 4/6+3/6
11/15x=7/6
x= 7*15/11*6
x= 35/22

For this value of x, the value of y is:

y= 2/5*35/22 - 1/2
y=14/22- 1/2
y= 3/22

As per graph point (35/22, 3/22) is point B

Evaluate the expression: for y = 2 + 3x when x=4. What does y=?

lora16 [44]

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4 as x into the equation:

y = 2 + 3x

y = 2 + 3(4)

Simplify:

y = 2 + 12

y = 14

So, when x = 4, y = 14.
