Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

Given

$\frac{n}{5}$ = - 0.3

Since n is divided by 5 then use the inverse operation, multiplication.

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

n = 5 × - 0.3 = - 1.5

(2)

Given

- 2n = 4 $\frac{1}{3}$ ← change to an improper fraction

- 2n = $\frac{13}{3}$

Since n is multiplied by - 2 then use the inverse operation, division.

Divide both sides by - 2

n = $\frac{13}{-6}$ = - $\frac{13}{6}$

The total cost C dollars, that a shop charges to print T shirts C = 45 + 7n , is the number of shirts ordered. Coach Dell paid 2

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

i think the answer is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

well the equation says c=45+7n so the total cost is 206 . i subtracted 45 from 206 leaving me with 161 then i divided that by 7 leaving me with 23

At a 20th high school reunion, all the classmates were asked the number of children they had. The probability of having a partic

finlep [7]

Answer:

a) We need to check two conditions:

1) $\sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1$

$0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1$

2) $P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n$

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) $P(C \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C$

c) $P(C=0) = 0.05$

d) For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probability distribution given:

C 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

P 0.05 0.14 0.34 0.24 0.11 0.07 0.02 0.02 0.01

And we assume the following questions:

a) Verify that this is a probability distribution

We need to check two conditions:

1) $\sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1$

$0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1$

2) $P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n$

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has at least one child

For this case we want this probability:

$P(C \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C$

c) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has no children

For this case we want this probability:

$P(C=0) = 0.05$

d) Look at the answers for parts b and c and explain their relationship

For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.

The position function for a free-falling object is s(t) = -16t^2 + vt +5. A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 400-foot bui

mixer [17]

Answer:

6.21 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function of a free-falling object is,

$s(t) = -16t^2+v_0t+s_0$

Where,

$s_0$ = initial height of the object,

$v_0$ = initial velocity of the object,

Here,

$s_0=400\text{ feet}$

$v_0=35\text{ feet per sec}$

Hence, the height of the ball after t seconds,

$s(t)=-16t^2+35t+400$

When s(t) = 0,

$\implies -16t^2+35t+400=0$

$t=\frac{-35\pm \sqrt{35^2-4\times -16\times 400}}{2\times -16}$

$t=\frac{-35\pm \sqrt{1225+25600}}{-32}$

$\implies t\approx -4.02\text{ or }t\approx 6.21$

∵ Time cannot be negative,

Hence, after 6.21 seconds the ball will reach the ground.
