Masja [62]3 years ago

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

A box of donuts containing 6 maple bars, 3 chocolate donuts, and 3 custard filled donuts is sitting on a counter in a work offic
Svetlanka [38]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of selecting a kind of donut from the box.

The probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is 0.068

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Bars = 6}

\mathbf{Chocolate = 3}

\mathbf{Custard= 3}

The total number of donuts in the box is:

\mathbf{Total= 6 + 3 + 3}

\mathbf{Total= 12}

The probability of eating a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is calculated using:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Chocolate}{Total}\times \frac{Custard}{Total-1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{12-1}}

Simplify

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{11}}

Multiply

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{9}{132}}

Divide

\mathbf{Pr = 0.068}

Hence, the probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is approximately 0.068

For problems a - d, write the function in the form LaTeX: y=ab^x. y = a b x . a) LaTeX: y=3\sqrt{4^{2x}} y = 3 4 2 x b) LaTeX: y
elixir [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in LaTeX in form y = ab^x  or ab^x for y = abx .........(1)

(a) LaTeX: y=3\sqrt{4^{2x}}  y = 3 4 2 x can be written in mathematical form as

y=3\sqrt{4^{2x}} ; y = 342x

on comparing with equation (1) we get a =3 and b =4

⇒y = 34^x or 34^x

(b) LaTeX: y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{5^{3x}}}{2} y = 5 3 x 3 2 can be written in mathematical form as

y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{5^{3x}}}{2} ; y = 342x

on comparing with equation (1) we get a =0.5 and b =5

⇒y = \frac{1}{2}5^x

(c)LaTeX: y=8^{x+2} y = 8 x + 2 can be written in mathematical form as

y=8^{x+2}

on comparing with equation (1) we get a =64 and b =8

y = 64 . 8^x

(d)LaTeX: y=\frac{3^{2x+1}}{\sqrt{3^{2x}}}  can be written in mathematical form as

y=\frac{3^{2x+1}}{\sqrt{3^{2x}}} = 3^{x+1} = 3 . 3^x

on comparing with equation (1) we get a =3 and b =3

y = 3 . 3^x
