a. The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population

is greater than 750,000 is 20.1%

b. The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

between 600,000 and 700,000 is 43.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. The average daily jail population in the United States is 706,242

2. The distribution is normal and the standard deviation is 52,145

3. We need to find the probability that on a randomly selected day,

    the jail population is greater than 750,000

4. We need to find the probability that on a randomly selected day,

    the jail population is between 600,000 and 700,000

a.

At first find z-score

∵ z = (x - μ)/σ, where x is the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard

   deviation

∵  x = 750,000 , μ = 706,242 and σ = 52,145

∴ z = \frac{750,000-706,242}{52,145} ≅ 0.84

Use the normal distribution table of z to find the area to the right of

the z-value

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of 0.84 is 0.79955

- But we are interested in x > 750,000, we need the area to the

  right of z-score

∴ P(x > 750,000) = 1 - 0.79955 = 0.2005

∴ P(x > 750,000) = 0.2005 × 100% = 20.1%

The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

greater than 750,000 is 20.1%

b.

We will find z-score for 600,000 < x < 700,000

∵ z = \frac{600,000-706,242}{52,145} ≅ -2.04

∵ z = \frac{700,000-706,242}{52,145} ≅ -0.12

Use the normal distribution table of z to find the area between

the two z-values

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of -2.04 is 0.02068

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of -0.12 is 0.45224

- To find P(600,000 < x < 700,000) subtract the two values above

∴ P(600,000 < x < 700,000) = 0.45224 - 0.02068 = 0.4316

∴ P(600,000 < x < 700,000) = 0.4316 × 100% = 43.2%

The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

between 600,000 and 700,000 is 43.2%

Evaluate the following division: (3b-6a)÷(30a-15b)​
shutvik [7]

Evaluate the following division: (3b-6a)÷(30a-15b) is <u>-</u><u>1</u><u>/</u><u>5</u><u>.</u>

<h2><u>INTRODUCTION</u></h2>

~ Algebraic Forms and their Elements

Algebraic form is a mathematical form whose presentation involves symbols or letters to represent unknown numbers.

Elements of Algebra:

1. Variables, Constants and Coefficients

Pay attention to the algebraic form 3x + 2y + 3

From the algebraic form above, x and y are variables (variables), while the number 3 is a constant. A variable is a substitute symbol for a number whose value is not clearly known. While constants are terms of an algebraic form in the form of numbers and do not contain variables.

And what is meant by the coefficient is the constant factor of a term in algebraic form. The coefficient on the 3x term is 3, on the 2y term it is 2.

2. Terms and Factors

» The term is part of the algebraic form which is limited by the operation of addition (+) or difference (-). The term one is an algebraic form that is not connected by the operation of addition or difference.

Example: 2x, 2a², -4xy, . . .

» Term two is an algebraic form that is connected by an operation of sum or difference.

Example: 2x + 3, a² - 4, 3x² - 4x, . . .

» Similar terms in algebraic form are terms that have the same variable and the same power.

Example:

2a is similar to 3a, 4a, etc.

» Factors are part of the algebraic form that is restricted to multiplication operations.

Example: 5n = 5 × n, 5 and n are factors of 4n, respectively.

Calculation Operations on Algebraic Forms

1. Addition and subtraction of algebraic forms can only be done on similar terms.

2. Multiplication and division of algebraic forms.

Multiply two terms by constants or variables.

Example:

3 (4y + 5)

= (3 × 4y) + (3 × 5)

= 12y + 15

Division of two terms with a variable or constant, for example:

(8y+4)/2 = 8y/2 + 4/2 = 4y + 2

<h2><u>DISCUSSION</u></h2>

(3b-6a)÷(30a-15b)

= (-6a + 3b) ÷ (-5(-6a+3b))

= (-6a+3b)/(-5(-6a+3b))

= -1/5

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

So, Evaluate the following division: (3b-6a)÷(30a-15b) is -1/5.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (14, 5) and (20, –4)? A. -3/2 B. -2/3 C. 2/3 D. 3/2
Lynna [10]
The slope of the line that passes through the points (14/5) and (20, -4), so you take y-y/x-x so you substitute the y's in for 5 and -4 and x in for 14 and 20.

5--4/ 14-20
9/-6
Then you make the fraction smaller!

As part of their fundraising for Right To Play, the student council is having a fun-fair at lunch in the school yard. You will b
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a co-ordinate graph and place the ticket booth at the origin then I chose difference of four but you can choose any and place three events equidistant from the origin by using the X- and Y- axis to easily determined a distance of 4 from the origin .

(0-4, 0) =( 4,0)

(0+4, 0) = (4 ,0)

(0, 0+4) = (0, 4)

if the both are placed first u would need to find the equation of a circle that contains all three points and place the booth at centre

you do this by creating the system of 3 equations inputting the x,y coordinates of each booth and solving for h,k,r

equation of a circle (X-H) 2 +( Y-K) 2 = r2
