Andrews [41]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Any of the 5 teams can finish first. For each of those, any of the 4 remaining teams can finish 2nd. For any of those 5·4 = 20 permutations, any of the 3 remaining teams can finish 3rd. The counting continues in like fashion, so the total number of possible finish sequences is ...

5·4·3·2·1 = 5! = 120 . . . . ways they can finish

Write the inequality!! Connie’s dog Fido weighs 35 pounds. Her vet placed Fido on a diet. What inequality can you write to find

Butoxors [25]

Answer: $\frac{35-28}{x} \leq 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the average number of pounds Fido must loss.

Since, the initial weight of Fido is 35 pounds.

And, After losing the weight, the new weight of Fido in pounds = 28 pounds.

Then the time taken for losing the weight

= $\frac{\text{ The weight it losses}}{\text{ Average of losing weight per month}}$

= $\frac{35-28}{x}$

According to the question, it must lose weight within 6 months,

Thus, $\frac{35-28}{x}\leq 6$

Which is the required inequality to find the average number of pounds per month.

By solving it we, get, $x\geq \frac{7}{6}$

The average cost of tuition, room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is reported to be $8,500 per term, but a fina

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The test statistic for this test is 3.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

$H_{0} = 8500$

The alternate hypotesis is:

$H_{1} > 8500$

Our test statistic is:

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$X = 8745, \mu = 8500, \sigma = 1200, n = 350$

$t = \frac{8745 - 8500}{\frac{1200}{\sqrt{350}}} = 3.82$

The test statistic for this test is 3.82.

Of all the students that Mikey surveyed, 30% said they play baseball. If 21 students play baseball, how many students did Mikey

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

70 students

Step-by-step explanation:

As, 30% Mike surveyed

And these 30% are 21 students

So 30% of X = 21

= 30/100 x X = 21

= 30X = 2100

So X = 2100/30

X = 70

So 70 students were surveyed

A square patio has an area of 200 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest tenth?

Darya [45]

If patio is square it means that area of if is $A=a^2$ where a is one side
Now we can substitute A=200 and solve eq
$a^2=200$
a= $\sqrt{200}$
a=14.1421
Now we are rounding to the nearest tenths
a=14.1 because next number is 4 and is less then 5.
The result is 14.1
