Answer:

a) 103, b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We need to multiply the probability by the amount of the sample to get:

200 × 51.6% = 103.2, rounded down to 103

b) As we have selected the people randomly, we have no control over the type of people we are given - this is theoretical and the estimate is not definite - all of the sample could have murdered by firearm or even none (even though it is highly unlikely).

What is the value of x given that figure ADCB
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the trapezoid is isosceles, the two diagonals are congruent. This can be shown by ASA.

ACD = BDC          Properties of parallel lines.

DC = DC               A line is equal to itself

DBA = CAB           Property of parallel lines.

AC = DB                Parts of Congruent triangles are congruent

3x + 15 = 7x - 9     Add 9 to both sides

3x + 15 + 9 = 7x

3x + 24 = 7x          Subtract 3x from both sides.

24 = 7x - 3x

24 = 4x                  Divide by 4

24/4 = 4x/4

x = 6

Evan and Carter are making chocolate milk which mixes milk with chocolate syrup. Evan's recipe calls for 5 cups of milk for ever
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Evan's recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Evan's recipe :

5 cups of milk for every 4 teaspoons of chocolate syrup

Carter's recipe:

3 cups of milk for every 2 teaspoons of chocolate syrup.

Recipe with the stronger tasting chocolate milk:

Take the ratio of cups of milk to teaspoons of chocolate syrup:

Evan's :

5 / 4 = 1.25

Carter's :

3 /2 = 1.5

Evan's recipe has the stronger tasting chocolate milk recipe :

5 milk cup = 4 chocolate spoons

Number of chocolate milks for 3 milk cups = x in Evan's recipe

5 = 4

3 = x

5x = 12

x = 12/5

x = 2.4 teaspoons

This is 2.4 spoons compared Carter's recipe which uses 2 spoons for every 3 milk cups

How do you graph y=3x-4 on a coordinate grid
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

You can look at the screenshot

Step-by-step explanation:

So one point of the line is (0, -4) and another point is (4/3, 0). Plot these points on a graph and draw a line.

0, -4 is from making x = 0, and then 4/3, 0 is from making y = 0.

Plzzzzzzzzzz help me
Ierofanga [76]

The answer would be the top right graph where none of the lines intersect since it shows that there is no possible real solutions for the system if none of the lines intersect on a certain point.

Remember: If the lines intersect, there is a solution; if the lines do not intersect, there is no solution; if the lines fall on the same line, or the equations are equivalent, then the solution is all real numbers.
