Answer:

3/2x-2>5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two less than a number means we are subtracting 2, so we can write it into the equation as -2.

Since we dont know the value of x, we can just write 3/2 of x by multiplying 3/2 by x. So 3/2x. Also, since we are subtracting two from 3/2x, -2 comes after 3/2x.

Now, since it says that it is more than 5 1/2, we could use the greater than sign (>), to express that. So >5 1/2

Our final expression is 3/2x-2>5 1/2.

Hope this helps!

256 are needed because 32x1=32 that means the ratio would be 32:256 because 8 x 32 = 256
The final ratio would stay the same as 1:8 though because it would be simplified.
Hope this helped.

The table displays the number of students in each grade at Richmond High School who will or will not be attending the amusement

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

$P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 0.2453 \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 24.53\% \\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a joint probability table.

There are four different graders in a school

1. Grade Ninth

2. Grade Tenth

3. Grade Eleventh

4. Grade Twelfth

Field trip refers to the students who will attending the amusement park field trip.

No field trip refers to the students who will not be attending the amusement park field trip.

We want to find out the probability that the selected student is an eleventh grader given that the student is going on a field trip.

$P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{P( eleventh\: \: and \: \: FT)}{P(FT)}$

Where P(eleventh and FT) is the probability of students who are in eleventh grade and will be going to field trip

$P(eleventh\: and \: FT) = \frac{13}{92} \\\\P(eleventh \: and \: FT) = 0.1413$

Where P(FT) is the probability of students who will be going to field trip

$P(FT) = \frac{12}{92} + \frac{9}{92} + \frac{13}{92} + \frac{19}{92}\\\\P(FT) = 0.1304 + 0.0978 + 0.1413 + 0.2065\\\\P(FT) = 0.576 \\\\$

So the required probability is

$P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{P( eleventh\: \: and \: \: FT)}{P(FT)} \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{0.1413}{0.576} \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 0.2453 \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 24.53\% \\\\$
