A hat contains 5 balls. The balls are numbered 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8. One ball is randomly selected and not replaced, and then a sec

ond ball is selected. The numbers on the 2 balls are added together. A fair decision is to be made about which one of two restaurants to eat at, using the sum of the numbers on the balls.
The restaurant options are Joe's Place or Taco Towne.
Which description accurately explains how a fair decision can be made in this situation?

a) If the sum of the balls is a factor of 30, eat at Joe's Place. If the sum is not a factor of 30, eat at Taco Towne.
b) If the sum of the balls is less than 10, eat at Joe's Place. If the sum of the balls is 10 or more, eat at Taco Towne.
c) If the sum of the balls is even, eat at Joe's Place. If the sum of the balls is odd, eat at Taco Towne.
d) If the sum of the balls is a multiple of 3, eat at Joe's Place. If the sum is not a multiple of 3, eat at Taco Towne.

Answer:

a) If the sum of the balls is a factor of 30, eat at Joe's Place. If the sum is not a factor of 30, eat at Taco Towne.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum table can be represented as :

           1       2      4      7      8

1           X     3       5      8      9

2           3     X       6      9    10

4           5      6      X      11     12

7           8      9       11     X      15

8           9      10      12    15     X

The Probability sum  is a factor of 30 = P(sum is  3, 5, 6, 10, 15)

= \dfrac{2}{20} +\dfrac{2}{20}+\dfrac{2}{20}+\dfrac{2}{20}+\dfrac{2}{20}

= \dfrac{10}{20}

= \dfrac{1}{2}

The Probability sum less than 10 = P(sum is 3,5,8,9,6)

= \dfrac{2+2+2+4+2}{20}

= \dfrac{3}{5}

The probability sum is even = P( sum is 6,8,10, 12)

= \dfrac{2+2+2+2}{20}

= \dfrac{8}{20}

= \dfrac{2}{5}

The probability sum is a multiple of 3 = P( sum is 3,6,9,12,15)

= \dfrac{12}{20}

= \dfrac{3}{5}

since the probability that is the sum of the ball is a factor of 30 is \dfrac{1}{2} , Thus, the probability that the sum is not a factor of 30 will also be \dfrac{1}{2} . Thus; the description that  accurately explains how a fair decision can be made in this situation is option A.

a) If the sum of the balls is a factor of 30, eat at Joe's Place. If the sum is not a factor of 30, eat at Taco Towne.

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
stepladder [879]
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y part of an intercept where x is 0. So the equation for slope (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) with y1 and y2 the y values of 2 points and x1 and x2 those points' x values, so if you would use the points (-2,0) and (0,5) (I used intercepts because they are easier, but you can use any points on the line) you would get (0-5)/(-2-0) and then 5/2 for the slope. plugging in then you get y=5/2*x+5

Algebra 2 Standard Deviation
Illusion [34]

Answer:

don't have answer but have how to do them

Step-by-step explanation:

What are z-scores?

A z-score measures exactly how many standard deviations above or below the mean a data point is.

Here's the formula for calculating a z-score:

z=\dfrac{\text{data point}-\text{mean}}{\text{standard deviation}}z=  

standard deviation

data point−mean

​  

z, equals, start fraction, start text, d, a, t, a, space, p, o, i, n, t, end text, minus, start text, m, e, a, n, end text, divided by, start text, s, t, a, n, d, a, r, d, space, d, e, v, i, a, t, i, o, n, end text, end fraction

Here's the same formula written with symbols:

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}z=  

σ

x−μ

​  

z, equals, start fraction, x, minus, mu, divided by, sigma, end fraction

Here are some important facts about z-scores:

A positive z-score says the data point is above average.

A negative z-score says the data point is below average.

A z-score close to 000 says the data point is close to average.

A data point can be considered unusual if its z-score is above 333 or below -3−3minus, 3. [Really?]

Example 1

The grades on a history midterm at Almond have a mean of \mu = 85μ=85mu, equals, 85 and a standard deviation of \sigma = 2σ=2sigma, equals, 2.

Michael scored 868686 on the exam.

Find the z-score for Michael's exam grade.

\begin{aligned}z&=\dfrac{\text{his grade}-\text{mean grade}}{\text{standard deviation}}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{86-85}{2}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5\end{aligned}

Michael's z-score is 0.50.50, point, 5. His grade was half of a standard deviation above the mean.

Example 2

The grades on a geometry midterm at Almond have a mean of \mu = 82μ=82mu, equals, 82 and a standard deviation of \sigma = 4σ=4sigma, equals, 4.

Michael scored 747474 on the exam.

Find the z-score for Michael's exam grade.

\begin{aligned}z&=\dfrac{\text{his grade}-\text{mean grade}}{\text{standard deviation}}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{74-82}{4}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{-8}{4}=-2\end{aligned}

Michael's z-score is -2−2minus, 2. His grade was two standard deviations below the mean.
