Answer: The answer is 135 murders.
Step-by-step explanation: The report tells us that statistically 67.5% of murders are committed using a firearm. It follows therefore that in a sample of 200 randomly selected murders, one would expect that 67.5% of those would be by a firearm.
* 200 = 135.
It would certainly be higher that the expected value based on previous data collected but it would not be unusual because one sample may have a higher than "normal" amount of murders by firearm. Statistics aren't going to be exact for every sample.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the law of variation,
y <> 1/x, where <> is the constant of proportionality. Therefore
y = k/x where k is a constant
3 = k/5 and k = 15
To find x when y = 2.5(5/2)
Go back to the second equation
y = k/x
5/2 = 15/x
When you cross multiply
5x = 30.
Divide through by 5,
x = 6.
Answer:
(x, y) = (18/5, 16/5)
OR
(x, y) = (3.6, 3.2)
"The quotient of z and 4"
is the same as saying
"z divided by 4"
z/4
