<span>Let x=# of boys and y=# of girls 

Because "There are 357 seniors", this means that . Solving for "y", we get  


Since "The ratio of boys to girls is 7:10", this tells us that we have the ratio: 

 


 Start with the given equation 


 Plug in  


 Cross multiply 


 Distribute. 


 Subtract  from both sides. 



 Subtract  from both sides. 


 Combine like terms on the left side. 


 Divide both sides by  to isolate . 


 Reduce. So there are 147 boys 


 Go back to the isolated equation 


 Plug in  


 Subtract. So there are 210 girls

Through: (4, -3), perp. to y=-2x + 1
larisa86 [58]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 1. => Slope = -2

Then the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/(-2) = 0.5.

We have y = 0.5x + c.

When x = 4, y = -3.

=> (-3) = 0.5(4) + c, c = -5.

Hence the answer is y = 0.5x - 5. (C)

What is the solution of the system of equations? y = –3x + 8 y = –5x – 2
jekas [21]
y=-3x+8 \\ y=-5x-2 \\  \\ -3x+8=-5x-2 \\ -3x+5x=-2-8 \\ 2x=-10 \\ x=- \frac{10}{2}  \\ x=-5 \\ y=-3(-5)+8=15+8=23  \\ \\ \boxed{-5,23}

Assume that you assign the following subjective probabilities for your final grade in your econometrics course (the standard GPA
rodikova [14]

Answer:

E(X) = 4*0.2 +3*0.5+ 2*0.2 +1*0.8+ 0*0.02= 2.78

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 2.78

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probabability distribution function given:

Score         P(X)

A= 4.0       0.2

B= 3.0       0.5

C= 2.0       0.2

D= 1.0        0.08

F= 0.0       0.02

______________

Total          1.00

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

If we use the definition of expected value given by:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_I)

And if we replace the values that we have we got:

E(X) = 4*0.2 +3*0.5+ 2*0.2 +1*0.8+ 0*0.02= 2.78

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 2.78
