Answer:

17% probability that a randomly selected student smokes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

What is your estimate of the probability that a randomly selected student smokes?

This estiamte is the number of smoking students divided by the total number of students.

We have that:

There are 500 students.

85 smoke

So there is an 85/500 = 0.17 = 17% probability that a randomly selected student smokes.

3x+7y=-6<br> 7x+3y=26<br> solve by elimenation
Artemon [7]
3x+7y=-6 -7x+3y=26 -4x+4y=-32 +4x on both sides and you end up with 4y=-32+4x now divide both sides by 4 and you get y=-8+x then to incorporate that in one of the problems 3x+7(-8+x)=-6 do the distributive property with the 7 into the () and you get 3x-56+7x=-6 now add all common variables and get 10x-56=-6 now add 56 to both sides and you get 10x=50 now divide by 10 on both side and you get x=5 now for getting y to equal a number instead of an equation 3(5)+7y=-6 15+7y=-6 subtract 15 on both sides to get 7y=-21 not divide by 7 on both sides to get y=-3 your answers are y=-3 and x=5
