Answer: A. 85.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two sections of a class took the same quiz.

Section A had 15 students who had a mean score of 80, and Section B had 20 students who had a mean score of 90.

We know that  , \text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}

Then , for section A :

\text{Mean score }=\dfrac{\text{Sum of scores in sec A}}{\text{No. of students}}

\Rightarrow\ 80=\dfrac{\text{Sum of scores in sec A}}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Sum of scores in sec A}=80\times15=1200

Similarly in Section B, \text{Sum of scores in sec B}=90\times20=1800

Total scores = Sum of scores in sec A+Sum of scores in sec B

=1200+1800=3000

Total students = Students in sec A +Students in sec B

=15+20=35

Now , the mean score for all of the students on the quiz =\dfrac{\text{Total score}}{\text{Total students}}

=\dfrac{3000}{35}=85.7142857143\approx85.7

Hence, the approximate mean score for all of the students on the quiz = 85.7

Thus , the correct answer is option A. 85.7.

The answer to this question please.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Part A) y=1,100x + 4,500

Part B) 14,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

There is a base fee of $4,500, meaning that the line begins at y=4500 (i.e. The y-intercept is [0,4500], so 'b' in y=mx+b is 4,500). There is a $1,100 hourly rate, which is proportional to the value of x, the amount of hours filmed. Therefore, 'm' in y=mx+b is $1,100.

Thus, the final equation looks like:

y= 1,100x + 4,500

Part B)

x=9

y=1,100x+4,500

y=1,100(9)+4,500

y=9,900+4,500

y=14,400

In the diagram, HGF is a straight line. Given EF = 4 cm and HG = GF = 3 cm, find :
Alecsey [184]
If HG and GF are both 3, then the whole length of the base is 6. The tan ratio is the side opposite the reference angle (length 4) over the side adjacent to the angle (length 6), which for us looks like this:
tan(x)= \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}=.6666667
Now use the inverse tan button (2nd-->tan) to get
tan^{-1} (.66667)=33.69
As far as the sin y goes, you have to use the Law of Sines because you are not working with a right triangle in that case.  I mean you are as far as having to find out what the hypotenuses are triangle EFH and triangle EFG.  The hypotenuse in triangle EFH is 7.211, and the hypotenuse in triangle EFG is 5. Using the Law of Sines to solve for y, you get this:
\frac{siny}{7.211} = \frac{sin33.69}{5}
Solving for y and using the inverse sin gives you that y = 53.12
If you are not familiar with setting up the Law of Sines, nothing I could tell you here would help. If you are familiar, then you get the idea of where the numbers came from and why they are set up that way. Hope that helps. That second part was quite hard.
