For every 5 she misses 3.. this is a proportion that can be set up as
5/3 = x/24

Steps:
1) cross multiple 5 (that she makes) times the 24 (that she missed.

2) cross multiply the 3 (that she misses) times the missing value.
Giving you 3x=5(24)

3) Solve 5(24)= 120 so that:

120=3x
4) Divide 120 by 3 to solve for x
5) X= 40

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio 5:3 to answer the question.

5 = made free throws

3 = missed free throws

If she misses 24 free throws, compare the ratios 5:3 to x:24 (you are solving for x)

24 divided by 3 is 8, so multiply 5 by 8

You would get 40

Dante is a software salesman. Let represent his total pay (in dollars). Let represent the number of copies of History is Fun he
valentina_108 [34]

Considering the given linear function, we have that:

  • The change for each copy that he sells is of $120.
  • If he sells no copies, he makes $2400.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

His payment for x copies bought is:

y = 120x + 2400.

Hence:

  • The change for each copy that he sells is of $120, as the slope is of $120.
  • If he sells no copies, he makes $2400, which is the y-intercept.

A random variable is uniformly distributed over the interval [-4, 6]. find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of .
Lyrx [107]

The mean, variance, and standard deviation are 1, 8,33 and 2.89

<h3>How to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation?</h3>

The distribution is given as:

[a, b] = [-4, 6]

The mean is calculated as;

Mean = (a + b)/2

So, we have

Mean = (-4 + 6)/2

Evaluate

Mean = 1

The variance is calculated as;

Var = (b - a)^2/12

So, we have

Var = (6 + 4)^2/12

Evaluate

Var  = 8.33

The standard deviation is calculated as;

SD= sqrt(Var)

So, we have

SD = sqrt(8.33)

Evaluate

SD = 2.89

Hence, the mean, variance, and standard deviation are 1, 8,33 and 2.89
