8 ÷ (7 - 9) * ( 4 + (-4) ) <--- notice that bolded part.

4 + (-4) = 4 - 4 = 0.

after that, you're pretty much dividing and multiplying by 0, so

whatever ÷ whatever * whatever * 0 = 0.

A class has an equal number of boys and girls. The boys all got 78% on a test and the girls all got 84%. What are the mean and s

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Mean is 81%

standard deviation is approximately 4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of boys equals the number of girls, but it is not given, we name it "N". and proceed to calculate the mean as:

Mean = (0.78 * N + 0.84 * N) /(2 N)

using that the total number of students must be N boys + N girls = 2 N

Then the Mean becomes: N *(0.78 + 0.84) /(2 N) = (0.78 + 0.84) / 2 = 1.62 / 2 = 0.81

So the mean is 81%

Now, standard deviation will be calculated by first adding the squares of the deviations: (X-0.81)^2 for the N boys and for the N girls, and then finding the square root of this and finally dividing by the square root of N. That is:

$N\,(0.78-0.81)^2\,+\,N\,(0.84-0.81)^2= N \left \{ (-0.03)^2+(0/03)^2\right \}=N\,*0.0018$

Now finding the square root of this value, and finally dividing it by the square root of N:

$\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{N\,*\,0.0018} }{\sqrt{N} } =\sqrt{0.0018} \approx 0.042426$

which in percent form is: approximately 4.2%

A Broadway musical came to town. The auditorium filled all 1,000 seats at two-level pricing. Level 1 tickets are $75 each, and l

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

x represents the number of level 1 tickets; y represents the number of level 2 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation (x + y = 1,000 ) shows that x + y equal to the number of seats in the auditorium. That means that they represent the number of tickets. In the second equation (75x + 100y = 25,000) x and y are being multiplied by the cost of their level ticket. So x represents the number of level 1 tickets; y represents the number of level 2 tickets.

hope this helps!

You sell instruments at a Caribbean music festival. You earn $326 by selling 12 sets of maracas, 6 sets of claves, and xx djembe

ELEN [110]

Answer: An equation we can use to find the number of djembe drums you sold be

$12m+6c+dxx=$326$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of maracas be m

Let the price of claves be c

Let the price of djembe drums be d

Number of maracas = 12 sets

Number of clavas = 6 sets

Number of djembe drums be xx

Total earned amount = $326

According to question,

$12m+6c+dxx=$326$

Hence, an equation we can use to find the number of djembe drums you sold be

$12m+6c+dxx=$326$
