Answer:

The total number of polo shirts is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of white polo shirts

y -----> the number of blue polo shirts

we know that

x=y+18 -----> equation A

68\%=68/100=0.68

x=0.68(x+y) ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

y+18=0.68(y+18+y)\\ y+18=0.68(2y+18)\\ y+18=1.36y+12.24\\ 1.36y-y=18-12.24\\ 0.36y=5.76\\ y=5.76/0.36\\ y=16\ blue\ polo\ shirts

<u><em>Find the value of x</em></u>

x=16+18=34\ white\ polo\ shirts

<u><em>Find the total number of polo shirts</em></u>

x+y=34+16=50\ polo\ shirts

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Marcus score is 13.7, the mean is 12.89, and the standard deviation is 1.95, so I’ll do ( 13.7 – 12.89)/ 1.95, Since Marcus' z-score is 0.415. The area to the left of the z-score is 65.9% so therefore Marcus did scored better than 65.9% of the students. So Marcus needs to score 98% better of all the other students in order for him to receive an actual certificate.

Write the equation of the circle graphed below
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The basic equation of a circle is

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

a and b are the coordinates of the center of the circle

r is the radius.

Development of the equation

r = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2. r is the distance between the red dot and the blue dot.

So far what you have is (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = (1/2)^2

The center is the red dot.

x = 1

y = - 1

Answer: (x - 1)^2 + (y + 1/2)^2 = 1/4
