Answer:

<h2>56</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}100\%&-&x\\75\%&-&42\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\75x=(100)(42)\\75x=4200\qquad\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\boxed{x=56}

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to75\%=\dfrac{75}{100}=0.75\\\\75\%\ of\ x\ is\ 42\to0.75x=42\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.75}\\\\\boxed{x=56}

A student has a class that is supposed to end at 9:00am and another that is supposed to begin at 9:10am. Suppose the actual endi
never [62]

Answer:

0.8340

Step-by-step explanation:

The aim of this question is to find the probability that the student makes it to the second class prior to when the lecture commences.

Provided that A, B, and C are independent of each other from the full complete question.

Then; we want P(A + C < B)

So A \sim N (2, 1.5)

B \sim N (10, 1)

C \sim N (6, 1)

P(A + C - B < 0)

Since they are normally distributed( i.e. A + C - B)

Then;

E(A + C -B) = E(A) + E(C) - (B)

E(A + C -B) = 2 - 10 + 6

E(A + C -B) =  -2

Var(A+C -B) = Var(A) + Var (B) + Var (C)

Var(A + C -B) = (1.5)² + (1)² + (1)²

Var(A + C -B) = 4.25

The standard deviation = \sqrt{4.25}

The standard deviation = 2.06155

P(A+C-B) = p \Big (Z < \dfrac{0-(-2)}{2.06155} \Big )

P(A+C-B) = p \Big (Z \le 0.97014  \Big )

\mathbf{P(A+C-B) = 0.8340}

Find the equation of the line.​
JulsSmile [24]
Answer: y = 2x + 5

Explanation:

The slope (number before x) is rise (change in y)/run (change in x). The rise is 6 and the run is 3, so the slope is 6/3, or 2.

The second blank is the y-intercept, or where the line crosses the vertical axis. This point is at 5.

Hope this helps!

The length of a rectangle is one unit shorter than one-sixth of the width, x.
sweet [91]
Lets say that y represents length and x width.
From the text we can write:
y=x/6 - 1

Perimeter we calculate: 
P = 2*x + 2*y

now we use y equation from above and put it in perimeter equation:

P = 2*x + 2*(x/6 - 1)
P = 2*(7x/6 - 1)
P = 7x/3 - 2
