8 0

Answer:

The score of her next test  is 96

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If there is a set of data with x terms, then the average is the sum of their values divided by x</em>

<em>Average = sum of values of the x terms ÷ x</em>

We will use this rule to solve the question

∵ Marsha's scores on 7 test were 82, 78, 77, 93, 85, 91, 86

→ Find her total scores on the seven tests

∴ Her total scores = 82 + 78 + 77 + 93 + 85 + 91 + 86 = 592

∴ Her total scores on the 7 tests is 592

∵ Her average score on the 8 test is 86

→ Use the rule of the average to find her total score in the 8 test

∵ 86 = total scores ÷ 8

→ Multiply both sides by 8

∴ 86 × 8 = total scores × 8 ÷ 8

∴ 688 = total scores

∴ Her total scores on the 8 tests is 688

∵ Her total scores on the 7 test = 592

∵ Her total scores on the 8 test = 688

→ The difference between both totals is the score of her next test

∴ The score of her next test = 688 - 592 = 96

∴ The score of her next test  is 96

A plastic bin contains red, yellow, and green key chains. Out of 350 key chains, 10% percent are yellow. Of the remaining key ch
Goshia [24]

Answer:

c.126 red

Step-by-step explanation:

red+green+yellow=350

10% out of 350 are yellow

0.1 times 350=35

350-35=315

3/5 out of 315 are green

red is not green so

2/5 of what is left is red

2/5 of 315 is red

2/5 times 315=430/5=126

126 red

Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 15 randomly sel
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors.

Therefore N = 400 and X = 40

The probability of defective compressors is:

\frac{40}{400}=0.10

It is given that If X is the number among 15 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors,

That means n=15

Apply the probability density function.

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We need to find P(X ≤ 3)

P(X\leq3) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)\\P(X\leq3) =\frac{15!}{15!}(0.1)^0(1-0.1)^{15}+\frac{15!}{14!}(0.1)^1(1-0.1)^{14}+\frac{15!}{13!2!}(0.1)^2(1-0.1)^{13}+\frac{15!}{12!3!}(0.1)^3(1-0.1)^{12}\\

P(X\leq3) =0.944444369992\approx 0.94

Hence, the required probability is 0.94

Perpendicular to the line y=1/2x-8; passes through (7,-6). Write the slope-intercept form of the equation.
Airida [17]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

The slope intercept form of the required line is y = -2x + 20.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, line equation is $y=\frac{1}{2} x-8$

And, Perpendicular line to the given line  passes through (7,-6).  

We need to find the slope intercept form of perpendicular line of given line.  

We already have the point (7, -6) but we need to find the slope.

Now, we know that, product of slopes of two perpendicular lines equals to -1.

Slope of given line is \frac{1}{2}, by comparing with the general form of slope intercept form.

\frac{1}{2} \times slope of required line = -1

Slope of perpendicular line = -2

Now, line equation of perpendicular line in point slope form is

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

y – (-6) = -2(x – 7)

y + 6 = -2x + 14

y = -2x + 20

the above equation is in the form of slope intercept form of a line equation  

where slope m = -2 and intercept c = 20

hence, the slope intercept form of the required line is y = -2x + 20.

If an employee notices that a bucket with sanitizing water is becoming dirt, he/she should ___.
ehidna [41]
This is pretty much a "common sense" question.  It'd be best to get rid of the dirty sanitizing water and start fresh; in other words, he should change (throw out) the dirty water and make a fresh sanitizer.

By the way, this is the Math section; next time, please choose a different section more suited to your questions.
