32 students choose a favorite topping for their slices.

Let x be the total number of students.

1/2 of the total students, or 1/2x, choose pepperoni.
1/4 of the total students, or 1/4x, choose extra cheese.
1/8 of the total students, or 1/8x, choose sausage.
4 students choose mushrooms.

We know that together, these equal the total number of students, x:
1/2x+1/4x+1/8x+4=x

We will use 8 as the common denominator:
4/8x+2/8x+1/8x+4=x


Combining like terms:
7/8x+4=x

Subtract 7/8x from both sides:
7/8x+4-7/8x=x-7/8x
4=1x-7/8x
4=1/8x

Divide both sides by 1/8:
4÷(1/8) = 1/8x÷(1/8)
4/1÷(1/8) = x
4/1×8/1 = x
32/1 = x
32 = x

Algebra 2 need a lil help
babymother [125]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeroes or x intercepts are when the line crosses through the x-axis.

In this case you should only have one being (1) because the line only passes the x-axis once. Also by real zeroes it means non -5i #s so nothing with an (i) for imaginary #'s.

Hope this helps.

A SINGLE CARD IS DRAWN AT RANDOM FROM A STANDARD DECK OF 52 CARDS. FIND THE PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE FOLLOWING CARDS. PLEASE R
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A. \frac{17}{52}

B. \frac{17}{52}

C. \frac{2}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

There are 52/4 diamonds in the deck and 4 '5's in the dech of cards

52/4 = 13 + 4 = 17

Therefore, you have a  \frac{17}{52} chance of drawing one of those cards.

B.

There are 13 hearts in the deck and 4 jacks. Therefore, your odds are the same : \frac{17}{52}

C.

There are 4 jacks in a deck of cards and 4 '8's in a deck of cards

Therefore your probability is \frac{8}{52} which simplifies to =\frac{2}{13}

Assume a random sample of size n is from a normal population. Assume a single sample t test is used to for hypothesis testing. T
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Type I and Type II are not independent of each other - as one increases, the other decreases.

However, increases in N cause both to decrease, since sampling error is reduced.

A small sample size might lead to frequent Type II errors, i.e. it could be that your (alternative) hypotheses are right, but because your sample is so small, you fail to reject the null even though you should.
