Answer:

The highest score is 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the highest score be denoted by, <em>A</em>, the lowest score be, <em>B</em> and the middle score be <em>X</em>.

Then,

A + X + B = 87 × 3 = 261 ...(i)

X + B = 83.5 × 2 = 167 ...(ii)

⇒ B = 167 - X ...(iii)

A + X = 89 × 2 = 178 ...(iv)

⇒ A = 178 - X ...(v)

Substitute (iii) and (v) in (i) and solve for <em>X</em> as follows:

A + X + B = 261

178 - X + X + 167 - X = 261

345 - X = 261

X = 84

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (iii) and solve for B as follows:

B = 167 - X

   = 167 - 84

   = 83

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (v) and solve for A as follows:

A = 178 - X

   = 178 - 84

   = 94

Thus, the highest score is 94.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

0.0011904

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of slips = 7

Sample space = (1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7)

Numbwe of slips drawn = 4

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Note ; selection is without replacement ;

P(drawing 1) = 1 /7

P(drawing 2) = 1 /6

P(drawing 3) = 1/5

P(drawing 4) = 1/4

1/7 * 1/6 * 1/5 * 1/4 = 0.0011904

1: -5 = 3m + c
2: -2 = 0 + c

From equation 2, we knew c = -2
So we sub into equation 1 and got the value of m

-5 = 3m - 2
m = -1

The equation of line is y = -x - 2
