The difference of 2x and 15 is less than or equal to the sum of 4x and 17

Mr. Montes is writing a short, three-question, true or false quiz for his Algebra 2 classes. He had planned on using a random an

Answer:

There are 4 questions to answer here and the answers are given below:

1. COMBINATION

2. SET 2

3. {S2, S3, S4, S5}

4. { } OR ∅

Step-by-step explanation:

The key topics here are PERMUTATION & COMBINATION and SETS & VENN DIAGRAMS.

The assignment has 5 questions in all. The options for each question are listed below and separated by commas:

1. True, False

2. True, False

3. A, B, C, D

4. A, B, C, D

5. A, B, C, D

Mr. Montes derives his answers from a random answer generator; same way Amisha generated her answers by random selection.

QUESTION 1

If you want to find the odds that Amisha got at least 3/5 of the answers correctly, would you use a permutation or a combination?

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1

You would use a combination. Note that as much as 'permutation' is distinctly defined from 'combination', in many complex cases both are used to derive the solution. In this case though, a combination is used. For each of the 5 questions, there are a number of possible answers. Questions 1 and 2 have only two possible answers (also known as options) while questions 3, 4 and 5 have four possible answers/options to choose from. Amisha can only have one set of five answers; each to each question. So this is a combination! If you want to find the odds that Amisha got at least 3 of her 5 answers correct, you would use a combination of the various possible answers to check.

QUESTION 2

Find "Set 1 ∩ Set 2" and explain the notation in the sentence.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2

First list out relevant information:

- The correct answers to questions 3, 4 and 5 are respectively C, B, A

- The universal set consists of five students: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 hence

Ц = {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5}

Next, enlist the elements of each defined set

Set 1: {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5} Set 2: {S2, S3, S4} Set 3: {S4, S5}

Note: Set 1 is equal to the universal set.

Now this notation "∩" means "intersect". It requires an action - checking out which elements in one set also appear in a second set and then bringing those elements to form a new set.

In the case of this question, we're to find Set 1 intersect Set 2. The elements present in Set 1 and also present in Set 2 are {S2, S3, S4}.

If you look closely, you'll observe that these are the same elements in Set 2! This brings to remembrance, one of the laws of sets:

The intersect of any subset and the universal set (recall that Set 1 happens to be equal to or have the same elements as the universal set) is equal to that subset.

So the answer to question 2 is

Set 1 ∩ Set 2 = Set 2

QUESTION 3

Find "Set 2 ∪ Set 3" and explain the notation in the sentence.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 3

The notation ∪ represents "union". This is the act of putting together the elements in two sets, to form a new set. In this activity, if an element appears in both sets, it is only written once in the new set, not twice.

So, Set 2 union Set 3 = {S2, S3, S4, S5}

As earlier stated, Student 4 isn't appearing twice in the new set.

QUESTION 4

Find the ' of Set 1 and explain the notation in this sentence.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 4

The symbol ' means "complement of a set". Finding the complement of a set is like subtracting the elements of that set from the universal set.

Since Set 1 contains the same elements as the universal set, subtracting Set 1 from the universal set will give you nothing. In this case, the complement of Set 1 is a null set!

Set 1 ' Ц = { } or ∅

where the empty bracket symbol and the slashed zero symbol represent null set.

Kudos!

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{12}{5}$

$x=(\frac{12}{5} )(\frac{3}{2} )=\frac{36}{10} =\frac{18}{5} =3\frac{3}{5}$

Amy tutors math. For each hour that she tutors, she earns dollars.

skelet666 [1.2K]

The equation to find Amy's earning after tutoring for 15 hours is 300 dollars.

<h3>How to find an equation?</h3>

She earn 20 dollars for each hours she tutors.

E = earnings in dollars

H = hours of tutoring

The equation relating E and H are as follows:

E = 20H

Therefore, the equation to find Amy's earning after tutoring for 15 hours is as follows;

E = 20H

E = 20 × 15

E = 300 dollars

Therefore, Amy's tutoring for 15 hours is 300 dollars.

A standard sheet of paper in Europe is 21.0 cm wide and 29.7 cm long. Which has the greater area, the standard sheet of paper in

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1 in = 2.54 cm

Part (a)

Answer: 8.268 in

Part (b)

Answer: 11.693 in

Part (c)

In SI units standard-sized paper is 21.0 cm by 29.7 cm, which is equivalent to 8.268 in by 11.693 in.

Answer: 8.268 in by 11.693 in.

Part (d)

U.S sized standard paper is 8.0 in by 11.0 in. Therefore the SI (internationally) sized paper is longer.

Part (e)

If the U.S> adopts the SI standard for letter-sized paper, both the width and length of standard paper will have to be increased. Therefore letter-sized paper will occupy a larger area and will be heavier if the thickness and density do not change.
