Answer:

The probabability is \frac{85}{100} =0.850

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to suppose that each score has the same probability.

For example :

P(66) = P(89)

Where P(66) is the probability of score a 66 and P(89) is the probability of score an 89

If A is a certain score :

P(A) = \frac{CasesWhereAOccurs}{Total Cases}

In the exercise :

P(1) = P(2)=...=P(100)=\frac{1}{100} =0.01

Bart must score higher than an 85 on the final exam.

We are looking for the probability of the event : ''Bart obtains a 1 or a 2 or ... or a 85''

This can be written in terms of events as :

P(1∪2∪...∪85) = P(1) + P(2) + ... + P(85)

As we consider each event as independent

P(1) + P(2) + ... + P(85) =\frac{1}{100} +\frac{1}{100} +...+\frac{1}{100} =(85).\frac{1}{100} \\P(Not Score Higher Than An 85)=\frac{85}{100}

If f(x) = 3x +9 x when f(x) = 30
den301095 [7]

Answer:

x=5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(x)=30, we have 3x+9x=30.

Combining like terms on the right side, we have 12x=30.

Finally, dividing by 12 we get x=30/12.

We note that 30=6*5 and 12=6*2, so 30/12=5/2.

So, \boxed{x=5/2} and we're done!

What is the measure of angle 6, if lines x and y are parallel, and angle 7 measures 121°? 121° 69° 59° 49°
Marianna [84]

Answer:

59°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, shown in the attachment line x and y are parallel lines.

Angle 7 and angle 6 are angles on a straight line.

The two angles will add up to 180 degrees.

\angle 7+\angle 6=180

But angle 7 measures 121°.

This implies that:

121+\angle 6=180

Solve for angle 6 to get;

\angle 6=180-121\

\angle 6=59\degree

Find an inverse of 16 modulo 17. That is solve 16x=1(mod 17)
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

-1 is the inverse of 16 modulo 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : An inverse of  16 modulo 17 i.e. 16x=1(mod 17)?

Solution :

First we find the GCD of (17,16) using Euclid's algorithm,

17=16\times 1+1

Remainder is 1.

Which means, GCD(17,16)=1

Using back substitution we get,

1=17-16(1)

\Rightarrow 16(-1)=1+17(-1)

\Rightarrow 16(-1)=1(\mod 17)

i.e. -1 is the inverse of 16 modulo 17.

On comparing with 16x=1(mod 17)

The value of x=-1.
