Male Female Total
Income over $50,000 485 385 870
Income below $50,000 65 65 130
<span>Total 550 450 1,000
Probability of being male: 550/1000 = 0.55
Probability of earning over $50,000: 870/1000 = 0.87
0.55 x 0.87 = 0.4785
Probability of being male and earning over $50,000: 485/550 = 0.8818

Answer:y=-1/3x+14
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the axis of symmetry is between the 2 x intercepts, we can find it by finding the average of the x-coordinates of the 2 points.
(-7 + 10) / 2
3/2
= 1.5
So, the axis of symmetry is at x = 1.5

Answer:
a. 405
b. -2
c. 5
d. 43
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't like doing arithmetic any more than you do, so I let a calculator do it for me. A spreadsheet works well for this, too. The function values are shown in the attachment.
Put the function argument where the variable is and do the arithmetic.
a. h(4) = 5·3^4 = 405
b. d(2) = 7 -9(2 -1) = -2
c. h(0) = 5·3^0 = 5
d. d(-3) = 7 -9(-3 -1) = 43
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
