Answer:

Runner Up Amount=$16,000

Winner Amount=$64,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the college's scholarship=$80,000

The fund is being divided between the top two contestants so that the winner receives four times as much as the runner-up.

Therefore: we can say it is being divided into 5 parts where the winner gets 4 parts and the runner up gets 1 part, i.e in the ratio 4:1.

Runner Up Amount=\dfrac{1}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$16000

Winner Amount=\dfrac{4}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$64000

The winner gets $64,000 and the runner up gets $16,000.

4. A drawer contains 21 black socks and 9 white socks. A number generator simulates randomly selecting 10 socks from the drawer.
Nookie1986 [14]

There are 21 black socks and 9 white socks. Theoretically, the probability of picking a black sock is 21/(21+9) = 21/30 = 0.70 = 70%

Assuming we select any given sock, and then put it back (or replace it with an identical copy), then we should expect about 0.70*10 = 7 black socks out of the 10 we pick from the drawer. If no replacement is made, then the expected sock count will likely be different.

The dot plot shows the data set is

{5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8}

The middle-most value is between the first two '7's, so the median is (7+7)/2 = 14/2 = 7. This can be thought of as the average expected number of black socks to get based on this simulation. So that's why I consider it a fair number generator because it matches fairly closely with the theoretical expected number of black socks we should get. Again, this is all based on us replacing each sock after a selection is made.

In your own words, explain why solving 4=2x uses the Division Property of Equality. Provide an example with your explanation.
balandron [24]
Solving 4=2x is using the division property because in order to get the last portion of that answer u have to divide both sides by 2x to get x by itself
For example
4=2x to get x by itself you have to divide both sides by 2x
And your final answer would be
x is equal to 2 (x=2)
