Answer:

New mean=71.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for the total initial score is;

T=M×S

where;

T=total initial score

M=mean score

S=number in the set

replacing;

T=unknown

M=72

S=17

replacing;

T=72×17=1,224

The total initial score=1,224

Determine the total score by;

total score=total initial score+total final score

where;

total initial score=1,224

total final score=(68+63)=131

replacing;

total score=1,224+131=1,355

Determine the new mean;

New mean=total score/new number

where;

total score=1,355

new number=(17+2)=19

replacing;

new mean=1,355/19=71.32

5z ^ 3 - 2z ^ 4 - 9z ^ 2 + z What is the degree of the polynomial ?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For any polynomial, we can determine the degree by finding the variable with the largest exponent. For the given polynomial:

5z^{3} - 2z^{4} -9z^{2} + z

we can see that -2z^{4} contains the variable with the highest exponent, 4, so the degree of this polynomial is 4.

Each of the performers at a circus convention is either a unicyclist, a mime or an aerial artist. The ratio of unicyclists to mi
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

14.52% are unicyclists

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can use proportions to find the number of unicyclists at the convention. Since we know that the ratio of unicyclists to aerial artists is 9:11, and there are 88 aerial artists, we can set up the following equation:

\frac{9}{11}=\frac{x}{88}

If we cross multiply, we get that 11x = (88)(9). After we divide through by 11 to isolate x, we get that x = (8)(9) = 72

Second, we have to figure out the number of mimes at the convention to figure out the total number of people there. We know that the ratio of unicyclists to mimes is 3:14, and the number of unicyclists is 72. So, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{3}{14}=\frac{72}{y}

If we cross multiply, we get that 3y = 1008, or y = 336 mimes

The total number of people at the convention is 336 mimes + 72 unicyclists + 88 unicyclists = 496. Now we have to figure out what percent of 496 is 72 (the number of unicyclists). If we let z = the percentage, we can simply set up an equation that says that 72 is z% of 496:

72=0.01z*496\\0.01z=0.14516\\z=14.52

This means that approximately 14.52% of the performers are unicyclists.
