Answer:

140 members

Step-by-step explanation:

A club's records indicate that it has 25% fewer members than it had last summer due to renovations and it's new totals(in terms of members) is 105.

We are now expected to find the initial number of members they had.

Let's assume that the number of members of the sports club last summer as X

25% loss in members and a total of 105 people

100% = X

If the sports club suffered 25% loss in membership,that means that only 75 of them are present.

75/100 × X = 105

X = 10500/75

X = 140

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that this year the sports club has 25% less memeber, so if last year the members where 100% this year there are only 75%

and that 75% is equal to 105 members

we can represent the information that we are given in a table:

memebers       percentage

   105         ⇒        75%

since last summer there were the 100% of member we can represent the number of members from last summer with 'x', and the table now is:

memebers       percentage

   105         ⇒        75%

   x           ⇒        100%

and we use rule of three to solve this problem: multiply cross quantities (105 by 100) and divide by the remaining amount:

x = 105*100/75

x = 140

Last summer the sports club had 140 members

Translate the sentence into an inequality.
grigory [225]

Answer:

8b + 27 ≤ - 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a number can be written as x or in this case as b because it is an unknown number.

b is multipled by 8 so 8b

"and 27" indicates an addition so therefore, 8b + 27

"at most -29" This is a little bit tricky but ultimately it means 8b + 27 cannot be more than -29. Therefore, it must be lesser than.

However there is a line underneath that lesser than sign meaning lesser than or equal to. I believe that "at most" indicates equal to.

Other than the lesser than or equal to sign I'm unsure about, this inequality should be correct.

Find the greates common factor of the following monomials:2r^4s^2 and 36r^4s^3
ki77a [65]

The greatest common factor is 2r^{4} s^{2}


This is because we start by taking the largest factor that goes into both coefficients. Since the first coefficient is 2, we have to try 2 and 1. Since 2 is larger and goes into 36 evenly, we use that.


Then we use the smallest number of each variable. There are 4 r's in both equations. So, that is the number that we take. There are 2 s's in the first term, so we take that number.

The repair cost of a Subaru engine is normally distributed with a mean of $5,850 and a standard deviation of $1,125. Random samp
Yuri [45]

Answer:

C. $5180

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Z-scores lower than -2 or higher than 2 are considered unusual.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random normally distributed variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 5850, \sigma = 1125, n = 20, s = \frac{1125}{\sqrt{20}} = 251.56

Which of the following mean costs would be considered unusual?

We have to find the z-score for each of them

A. $6350

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{6350 - 5850}{251.56}

Z = 1.99

Not unusual

B. $6180

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{6180 - 5850}{251.56}

Z = 1.31

Not unusual

C. $5180

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{5180 - 5850}{251.56}

Z = -2.66

Unusual, and this is the answer.

Reflect (7,3) in the (a) axis and (y) axis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

(-7, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Do it in two steps:

a) First mirror point (7,3) in x-axis gives (7, -3).

Then the next step...

b) ...mirror point (7, -3) in y-axis gives (-7, -3)

Please understand that the outcome is the same, if you first mirror in y-axis and then mirror in the x-axis.

Just to demonstrate this:

a) If you irst mirror point (7,3) in y-axis gives (-7, 3).

Then the next step...

b) ...mirror point (-7, 3) in x-axis gives (-7, -3)
