Approximately 9 out of every 50 people who saw a movie this week say they watched it on Netflix. Suppose we want to find the pro

bability that a randomly selected movie-goer saw a movie on Netflix this weekend. Express that probability in three ways: As a fraction, a proportion, and a percentage.

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. As a fraction: 9/50</u>
  • <u>2. As a proportion: x/1 = 9/50</u>
  • <u>3. As a percentage: 18%</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. As a fraction:</u>

Depart from the definition of probability: probability is the number of favoragle outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:

  • Probability = number of movie-goers who say they watched a movie on Netflix this week / number of movie-goers that saw a movie this week

  • Probability = 9 / 50

<u>2. As a proportion:</u>

A proportion is the equality of two ratios. In this case you must set the ratio of people who say they watched it on Netflx, x, per every people who saw a movie this week, 1, equal to the ration 9 /50.

Hence, the proportion that shows the probability is:

  • x / 1 = 9 / 50

Where x is the probability.

<u>3. As a percentage</u>

You just have to multiply the probability by 100:

  • (9/50) × 100 = 18%

Use the function f(x) = -3x^2+13x+3 to find x when f(x) = -7
Bond [772]

Answer: - 235

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = -3x² + 13x + 3

f(-7) = -3(-7)² + 13(-7) + 3

      = -3(49) - 91 + 3

      = -147 - 88

      = -235

Sove: -6n+5&lt;11 <br> Which graph shows the solutions?
Dovator [93]

Answer: The first one

Step-by-step explanation: first you have to subtract 5 from both sides and then you have -6n < 6 . Then you have to divide both sides by -6 then you get n < -1.

Find all real solutions to the equation (x² − 6x +3)(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2} ;  x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Relation given in the question:

(x² − 6x +3)(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0

Now,

for the above relation to be true the  following condition must be followed:

Either  (x² − 6x +3) = 0 ............(1)

or

(2x² − 4x − 7) = 0 ..........(2)

now considering the equation (1)

(x² − 6x +3) = 0

the roots can be found out as:

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

for the equation ax² + bx + c = 0

thus,

the roots are

x = \frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\times1\times(3)}}{2\times(1)}

or

x = \frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-12}}{2}

or

x = \frac{6+\sqrt{24}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{6-\sqrt{24}}{2}

or

x = \frac{6+2\sqrt{6}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{6-2\sqrt{6}}{2}

or

x = 3 + √6 and x = 3 - √6

similarly for (2x² − 4x − 7) = 0.

we have

the roots are

x = \frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times2\times(-7)}}{2\times(2)}

or

x = \frac{4\pm\sqrt{16+56}}{4}

or

x = \frac{4+\sqrt{72}}{4} and, x = x = \frac{4-\sqrt{72}}{4}

or

x = \frac{4+\sqrt{2^2\times3^2\times2}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{4-\sqrt{2^2\times3^2\times2}}{4}

or

x = \frac{4+(2\times3)\sqrt{2}}{2} and, x = x = \frac{4-(2\times3)\sqrt{2}}{4}

or

x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2} and, x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}

Hence, the possible roots are

x = 3 + √6 ; x = 3 - √6 ; x = \frac{2+3\sqrt{2}}{2} ; x = \frac{2-(3)\sqrt{2}}{2}
