Answer

a)   y    |      p(y)

    25   |      0.8

   100   |     0.15

   300   |      0.05

E(y) = ∑ y . p(y)

E(y) = 25 × 0.8 + 100 × 0.15 + 300 × 0.05

E(y) = 50

average class size equal to E(y) = 50

b)  y    |      p(y)

    25   |     \dfrac{16\times 25}{1000}=0.4

   100   |     \dfrac{3\times 100}{1000}=0.3

   300   |      \dfrac{1\times 300}{1000}=0.3

E(y) = ∑ y . p(y)

E(y) = 25 × 0.4 + 100 × 0.3 + 300 × 0.3

E(y) = 130

average class size equal to E(y) = 130

c) Average Student in the class in a school = 50

  Average student at the school has student = 130

The length of a rectangle is 3 meter shorter than3 times its width.Find the length and width if the perimeter is 210 meters
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

length = 78 m , width = 27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let w represent width then length l = 3w - 3

the perimeter (P) is calculated as

P = 2l + 2w = 210 , substitute values

2(3w - 3) + 2w = 210 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6w - 6 + 2w = 210

8w - 6 = 210 ( add 6 to both sides )

8w = 216 ( divide both sides by 8 )

w = 27 and l = 3(27) - 3 = 81 - 3 = 78

Then length = 78 m and width = 27 m

7 1/4 + 5 3/5= reduced to it's lowest form
Scrat [10]
7 1/4 + 5 3/5
First, you need a common denominator to add the two. 20 will work.
4x5=20, so we have to also multiply 1 by 5.
4x5=20, 1x5=5
5x4=20, so we have to also multiply 3 by 4.
5x4=20, 3x4=12
And now we put the fractions back in.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20
And add them.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20 = 12 17/20
Now, we're supposed to reduce it to its lowest form.
Unfortunately, the fraction cannot be reduced, because 17 is a prime number, meaning there are no factors to it except one and itself.
Therefore, the lowest form of 12 17/20 is 12 17/20
Your answer is B, 12 17/20
