Answer: Required mean would be 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of girls G= 75

Number of boys B= 100

Probability that girls smoke = P₂ = 0.20

Probability that girls don't smoke = P'₂=1-0.20=0.80

Probability that boys smoke = P₁ = 0.30

Probability that boys don't smoke = P'₁=1-0.30=0.70

We need to find the mean of the sampling distribution of the difference in the sample proportion of girl smokers and boys smokers.

So, it becomes,

E[P_1-P_2]=E[P_1]-E[P_2]\\\\=B\times P_1-G\times P_2\\\\=100\times 0.30-75\times 0.20\\\\=30-15\\\\=15

Hence, required mean would be 15.

HELP! Which of the following pairs of functions are inverses of each other?
IrinaK [193]

one way is to solve for the invers of the first function

remembe, to solve, replace f(x) or g(x) with y, switch x and y, solve for y and replace it with f⁻¹(x)


A.

f(x)=x/2+8

y=x/2+8

x=y/2+8

x-8=y/2

2x-16=y

f⁻¹(x)=2x-16

nope, not A



B.

f(x)=3x³+16

y=3x³+16

x=3y³+16

x-16=3y³

(x-16)/3=y³

∛((x-16)/3)=y

f⁻¹(x)=∛((x-16)/3)

nope, not the same

not B


C.

f(x)=18/x-9

y=18/x-9

x=18/y-9

x+9=18/y

y(x+9)=18

y=18/(x+9)

f⁻¹(x)=18/(x+9)

correct, the answer is C




answer is C

In the figure AB is parallel to CD. BC is parallel to AE. angle ABD measures (3x+4). angle BCD measures (6x-8). angle EDF measur
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The measure of angle BCD is 68.5\°

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

m -----> form a straight line

substitute the values

(3x+4)\°+(6x-8)\°+(7x-20)\°=180\°

(16x-24)\°=180\°

16x=180\°+24\°

16x=204\°

x=12.75\°

step 2

Find the measure of angle BCD

m

substitute the value of x

m

A school allots £3000 to spend on a trip to the theatre. Theatre tickets have a regular cost of £40 each and are on offer for 1
Bumek [7]

Answer:

£36

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that School allots £3000 to spend on a trip to the theatre. With regular cost of tickets of £40 each with offer for 1/5 off

Then the cost of each ticket with 1/5 off= (4/5×40)= £32

From the question, A train ticket for the day will cost £20 each.

Then total cost for each of it = £32+£20

=£52

To determine how much money that the school will have left over, If 3 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, can be expressed below by first calculating the number of students.

Let us denote the number of students as "x"

52(x+3)= < 3000

52x + 156 =< 3000

52x =< 3000 - 156

52x =< 2844

X =< 2844/52

s =< 54.69,

The max. Number of students is 54

Total number of people= Number of students + the 3 teachers

= 54+3= 57

Total cost for 57 people= (£52 × 57 people)= £2964

The amount of money the school will have as left over = (£3000 - £2964)

= £36

Tickets for Adults were $14.50 and tickets for Children were $9.00. We purchased 12 tickets and spent a total of $135.50 to get
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

(5 , 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = the number of adult tickets

let c = the number of children tickets

then we have to solve the following system

a + c = 12

14.5a + 9c = 135.5

we proceed by Substitution:

              c = 12 - a

14.5a + 9c = 135.5

After some calculations we find

a=5 and c=7
