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.

Graph a line with a slope of -2/5 that contains the point (-3,5)
kotykmax [81]

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}

Further explanation:

We have to find the equation of the line first to graph the line.

The general form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

y=mx+b

Given

m=-\frac{2}{5}

Putting the value of slope in the equation

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+b

To find the value of b, putting the point (-3,5) in equation

5=-\frac{2}{5}(-3)+b\\5=\frac{6}{5}+b\\5-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=\frac{25-6}{5}\\b=\frac{19}{5}

Putting the values of b and m

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}

The graph is made by using online graphing tool Desmos.

#2) The Ramy family went
suter [353]
If there were only sandwiches bought, there would be 15, if there were only salads bought there would be 20. There’s probably more than one possibility, but that’s the best I can do, considering how long it’s been since I’ve done this type of problem. I’m all the way to learning determinants, so I really have to think to remember these. Sorry in advance if this doesn’t help at all, I’m not the best at this, but I can still try.

Frank thinks he will need at about 12 1/2 kilograms of sand for sandbox he is building. The sand he wants is 3$ per kilogram. Ab
vesna_86 [32]
12 * 3 = 36, 1/2 * 3 = 1 1/2
36 + 1 1/2 = $37.50 for about 13 kilograms of sand.
