Jose’s school has 426 students. His principal has promised the Student Council that their idea will be carried out if they can g

et at least 25% of the student population to sign a petition. So far, 82 students have signed the petition. Jose used the following steps to write an inequality that can be used to determine the number of student signatures still needed: Step 1. Declare the variable: Let x = the number of student signatures still needed. Step 2. Create a ratio equivalent to StartFraction total number of signatures needed over total number of students in the school EndFraction : StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction. Step 3. Convert 25% to a decimal: 25% = 0.25. Step 4. Write the inequality: StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction less-than-or-equal-to 0.25. What is Jose’s error? In Step 1, x should be equal to the total number of students in the school. In Step 2, the ratio should be StartFraction x over 426 EndFraction. In Step 3, the decimal should be 0.025. In Step 4, the inequality should be StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction greater-than-or-equal-to 0.25.

Answer:

Step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose's Steps are:

Step 1: Declare the variable:

Let x = the number of student signatures still needed.

Step 2: Create a ratio equivalent to:

\dfrac{\text{Total number of signatures needed}}{\text{Total number of students in the school}} =\dfrac{x + 82}{426}.

Step 3: Convert 25% to a decimal:

25% = 0.25.

Step 4: Write the inequality:

\dfrac{x + 82}{426}\leq 0.25

Since they need at least 25% of the student population to sign a petition, In Step 4, the inequality should be:

\dfrac{x + 82}{426}\geq 0.25

Answer:

SteAnswer:

y = 1/2x + 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation of the line

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

First find the slope of the line

-2x + 4y = 8

It must be in this form

y = mx + C

4y = 8 + 2x

divide through by 4

4y/4 = 8 + 2x / 4

y = 8 + 2x/4

Let's separate

y = 8/4 + 2x/4

y = 2 + 1/2x

y = 1/2x + 2

Therefore, our slope or m is 1/2

Using the equation of the line

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

With point (-5, -1)

x_1 = -5

y_1 = -1

y - (-1) = 1/2(x - (-5)

y + 1 = 1/2( x + 5)

Opening the brackets

y + 1 = x + 5 / 2

y = x + 5/2 - 1

Lcm is 2

y = x + 5 / 2 - 1/1

y = x + 5 -2/2

y = x +3/2

We can still separate it

y = x /2 + 3/2

y = 1/2x + 3/2

The equation of the line is

y = 1/2x + 3/2

The correct answer is A

Find an equation of a line containing the point (-6,3) and has slope<br> - 1/3
AfilCa [17]

Answer: y=-1/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation that contains the given point and has the same slope, we can plug it into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept.

3=-1/3(-6)+b         [multiply]

3=2+b                   [subtract both sides by 2]

b=1

Now that we know the y-intercept, we know that the equation is y=-1/3x+1.

Please help, it would be much appreciated.A certain state uses the following progressive
liraira [26]

Answer:

$3,300

Step-by-step explanation:

$60,000 falls into the $50,001 - $100,000 range, so 5.5% is owed on it.

5.5% → 0.055

60,000 * 0.055 = $3,300

Answer:

The following are the answer to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question the numeric value is missing which is defined in the attached file please fine it.  

Calculating the probability of the distribution for x:

\to f(x) = 0.19\  for \ x=14\\\\\to  f(x) = 0.29 \ for\ x=7\\\\\to f(x) = 0.38\  for \ x=1\\\\\to f(x)=0.14 \ for \ x=0\\

The formula for calculating the mean value:

\bold{ E(X)= x \times f(x)}

          =14 \times 0.19+7 \times 0.29+1 \times 0.38+0\times 0.14\\\\=2.66 + 2.03+0.38+ 0\\\\=5.07

\bold{E(X^2) = x^2 \times f(x)}

           =14^2 \times 0.19+7^2 \times 0.29+1^2 \times 0.38+0^2 \times 0.14 \\\\=196 \times 0.19+ 49 \times 0.29+1 \times 0.38+0 \times 0.14\\\\= 37.24+ 14.21+ 0.38+0 \\\\=51.83

use formula for calculating the Variance:

\to \bold{\text{Variance}= E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2}

                  = 51.83 - (5.07)^2\\\\= 51.83 -  25.70\\\\=26.13

calculating the value of standard deivation:

Standard Deivation (SD) = \sqrt{Variance}

                                          = \sqrt{26.13} \\\\=5.111
