There are 60 players on football team that are not seniors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Given

Total students = 84

Also given that

2 out of 7 are seniors

Which is 2/7

So in order to find the total number of seniors we will multiply the whole number of students to 2/7

$Senior\ students = \frac{2}{7} * 84\\= 24$

So there are 24 seniors on the football team.

Players that are not seniors = 84 - 24 = 60

There are 60 players who are not seniors.

Method 2:

We can divide the total number by 7, to get how many sets of 7 players will be there

= 84/7 = 12

Now,

Multiplying 12 with 2 will give us the number of seniors in football team.

12*2 = 24 seniors

So,

Not seniors =84-24 = 60

Need help understanding what to do

I believe you are expected to simplify. To do this all you do is group like terms (x, x², x³ etc.) and then simplify the coefficients.

13. 10z + 7z - 19z² - 5z² - 17z

first you can rearrange and group like terms (remember the bring the sign in front of each term with it). I would do it like this:
-19z² - 5z² +10z + 7z - 17z

Now simplify the coefficients:

-24z² + 0z

you can omit the 0z and your simplified answer is

-24z²

Main thing to remember here is that z and z² cannot be simplified together, nor can any variable that has an exponent because the exponent makes them differ.

10+x > 17 solving one step inequalities

pogonyaev

Answer:

x > 7

Step-by-step explanation:

you move over the 10 to the left and it becomes negative.

x > 17 - 10

so then you subtract the 17 - 10 and you would get 7.

x > 7

Find the population mean or sample mean as indicated. Sample: 19, 15, 6, 11, 24 Compute the sample mean for this data set. Selec

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

$\overline{x}=15$

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is given by:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i}{n} \quad\text{or}\quad \dfrac{\text{sum of all items}}{\text{number of items}}$

In our case this is:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{19+15+6+11+24}{5} \Rightarrow \dfrac{75}{5}\\\\\overline{x} = 15\\\\$

side note: the main difference between sample mean and population mean is in the 'context'. However, the method to calculate them is the same.

By context I mean: if this the items are taken from some larger category for example: the ages of a few 'students' from a 'class'. Here 'students' are the sample from a larger set that is 'class'. The mean of the 'few students' will be called sample mean. In contrast, if we take the mean of the ages of the whole class then this is called population mean. (population mean == mean of the whole set)

In our case we aren't told exactly where these numbers come from, is this the whole set or a sample from it, the lack of context allows us to assume that the mean can either be population mean or sample mean. So we can safely use any symbol $\mu$ or $\overline{x}$ .
