Let "a number" = x

3x - 5 = 40 is the equation you will use.

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 5 to both sides

3x - 5 (+5) = 40 (+5)

3x = 40 + 5

3x = 45

Next, to isolate the x, divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (45)/3

x = 45/3

x = 15

15 is your answer

The number is 15.

40+5 = 45

45/3 = 15

a. Use the inclusion/exclusion principle.

$P(A_1\cap A_2)=P(A_1)+P(A_2)-P(A_1\cup A_2)=0.55+0.65-0.80=0.40$

b. By definition of conditional probability,

$P(A_2\mid A_3)=\dfrac{P(A_2\cap A_3)}{P(A_3)}=\dfrac{0.50}{0.70}\approx0.7143$

Heather works part time at a movie theater where she earns $7.00

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

d. 1 grid equals 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

When plotting research data, X-axis(or horizontal axis) usually used for independent variable and Y-axis is used for the dependent variable. In this case, Heather wants to know how much earning on different numbers of hours. The dependent variable is the earning and the independent variable is the hours, so you put hours on the horizontal axis.

You want to make a 10x10 grid of data and the hours ranged between 1-10. If you plot them equally, approximate scale will be: (10h-1h)/(10)= 0.9h/grid

The closest option is 1 hour per grid. It will provide the best visualization since it won't stretch or minimize the data too much.
