Answer:

<h2>This constant of proportionality represents the lost fee, which is the relation between both variables.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The lost fee is 75% of the cost of the book.
  • Sarah owes $60 to the school for the lost book.

Let's call c the cost of the book and f the lost feet. All this can be expressed as

f=0.75c

This expression indicates that the lost fee is 75% of the cost of the book.

Notice that this is a linear equation, where f and c are directly proportional and the constant of proportionality is 0.75, which is 75%.

This constant of proportionality represents the lost fee, which is the relation between both variables.

Now, replacing values we can find the cost of the book

60=0.75c\\c=\frac{60}{0.75}\\ c=80

The book costs $80.

Answer: 0.75,

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities.

The cost of book changes but the lost book fee charge remains constantper book i.e.0.75


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Let x be the cost of her book (in dollars).

Since, her school charges a lost book fee equal to 75% of the cost of the book.

Then, the the lost book fee=75% of x

Since 75% =0.75

Thus, the the lost book fee=$0.75x

The cost of book changes but the lost book fee charge remains constant per book i.e.0.75

Sarah received a notice stating that she owed the school $60 for he lost book.

The the lost book fee=0.75(60)=$45

Write the following coordinates where they belong in the line segments below. (5 1/2, -4 1/4) _______ (3 3/4, -1 1/4)
Ket [755]

ANSWER

(4 \frac{5}{8} , -  2\frac{3}{4} )

EXPLANATION

The end points of the segment are:

(5 \frac{1}{2} ,-4 \frac{1}{4} )

and

(3 \frac{3}{4} ,-1 \frac{1}{4} )

The box represents the midpoint of the two points.

Using the midpoint formula;

( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

We substitute the end points of the line segment to obtain,

( \frac{5 \frac{1}{2} +3 \frac{3}{4} }{2} , \frac{ - 4 \frac{1}{?} + - 1 \frac{1}{4} }{2} )

This simplifies to:

( \frac{37}{8} , -  \frac{11}{4} )

We convert back to mixed numbers to get,

(4 \frac{5}{8} , -  2\frac{3}{4} )

The correct choice is B

A recent survey found that 86% of employees plan to devote at least some work time to follow games during the NCAA Men's Basketb
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question, we have that:

p = 0.86, n = 100

So

\mu = 0.86, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.86*0.14}{100}} = 0.0347

What is the probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.8. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.8 - 0.86}{0.0347}

Z = -1.73

Z = -1.73 has a pvalue of 0.0418

4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games
