Answer:

a) Frequency table:

Category       Frequency

 Dog                     4

 Cat                       3

 Fish                      2

 Hamster               1

b) Relative frequencies of each animal type

  • Dog: 4/10 = 0.4
  • Cat: 3/10 = 0.3
  • Fish: 2/10 = 0.2
  • Hamster: 1/10 = 0.1

c) Popularity

  • Dog is the most popular because it has the highest relative frequency.
  • Hamster is the least popular because it has the lowest relative frequency.

Explanation:

<u>a. Make a frequency table for the results.</u>

There are four kind of pets: dog, cat, hamster, and fish.

A <em>frequency table </em>shows the number of items for each category (kind of pets).

Count the number of each kind of pet:

  • Dog: 4
  • Cat: 3
  • Hamster: 1
  • Fish: 2
  • Total: 10

With that you build your frequency table.

Frequency table:

Category       Frequency

 Dog                     4

 Cat                       3

 Fish                      2

 Hamster               1

<u>b. Relative frequencies of each animal type.</u>

The relative frequency is how often an outcome appears divided by the total number of outmcomes.

Here the total number of outcomes is 10 (the ten pets).

So, calculate each relative frequency:

  • Dog: 4/10 = 0.4
  • Cat: 3/10 = 0.3
  • Fish: 2/10 = 0.2
  • Hamster: 1/10 = 0.1

An important feature of the relative frequency is that they must add up 1. Check:

  • 0.4 + 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.1 = 1.

<u>c. Using the relative frequencies explain which animals are most and least popular.</u>

Popularity is determined by the frequency with each outcome is repeated. The most popular is the most repeated. The least popular is the least repeated.

  • Dog is the most popular because it has the highest relative frequency.

  • Hamster is the least popular because it has the lowest relative frequency.

Lucy goes out to lunch. the bill, before tax and tip, was $12.70. a sales tax of 6.5% was added on. lucy tipped 18% on the amoun
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

  26%

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding r% to a bill is equivalent to multiplying the amount by (1 +r%). Each resulting amount is rounded to the nearest penny.

__

<h3>tax</h3>

After the 6.5% tax was added, the bill was ...

  $12.70 × (1 +0.065) = $13.5255 ≈ $13.53

<h3>tip</h3>

After the 18% tip was added to this amount, the total cost was ...

  $13.53 × (1 +0.18) = $15.9654 ≈ $15.97

<h3>total</h3>

Then the multiplier of the original bill was ...

  $15.97/$12.70 ≈ 1.25748... ≈ (1 +25.7%)

The total cost was about 26% more than the original bill.

What is the probabiWhich value cannot represent the probability of an event occurring?
iren2701 [21]

Given problem:

   Which value cannot represent the probability of an event occurring?

      Values:

            \frac{1}{100}    0.29    \frac{85}{100}   Three-halflity

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.

For an event that we are sure of occurring, the probability value is 1, and those that cannot occur have a probability value of 0.

  The probability of any event is usually a fraction between 1 and 0.

So we can see that the odd one is the  Three-halflity which is clearly greater than 1.

Pablo has 0 pieces of candy and wants to divide them into 2 equal piles. You want to know how many pieces will be in each pile?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

you cannot divide zero into two equal parts because there is nothing there to start.  Since Pablo has no candy, he cannot divide it into two piles because there isn't anything to divide.

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (−3, 2) and (1, 5) ?
madam [21]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

m = \frac{5-2}{1+3} = \frac{3}{4}, thus

y = \frac{3}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 3, 2), then

2 = - \frac{9}{4} + c ⇒ c = \frac{17}{4}

y = \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{17}{4} → C
