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.

A tank initially contains a solution of 10 pounds of salt in 60 gallons of water. Water with 1/2 pound of salt per gallon is add
RUDIKE [14]

Salt flows into the tank at a rate of

(1/2 lb/gal) * (6 gal/min) = 3 lb/min

and flows out at a rate of

(Q(t)/60 lb/gal) * (6 gal/min) = 6Q(t) lb/min

The net rate of change of the amount of salt in the tank at time t is then governed by

\dfrac{\mathrm dQ}{\mathrm dt}=3-6Q

Solve for Q:

\dfrac{\mathrm dQ}{\mathrm dt}+6Q=3

e^{6t}\dfrac{\mathrm dQ}{\mathrm dt}+6e^{6t}Q=3e^{6t}

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}[e^{6t}Q]=3e^{6t}

e^{6t}Q=\dfrac{e^{6t}}2+C

\implies Q=\dfrac12+Ce^{-6t}

The tank starts with 10 lb of salt, so that Q(0) = 10. This gives us

10=\dfrac12+C\implies C=\dfrac{19}2

so that the amount of salt in the tank at time t is given by

\boxed{Q(t)=\dfrac{1+19e^{-6t}}2}

What does l-8l + l8l = this mean?
Viktor [21]
The |x| operator means 'absolute value' or the positive value of the negative values. To help this make sense, here's a visual representation:
|-8| = 8

But,
|8| = 8

Do you see what I mean? BTW, your answer will just be 8 + 8 or 16.
