Answer: The value of a is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we need to find the y-intercept first.

-2= 4(1/2) + b

-2=2+ b

-2 -2

b= -4 so now the y-intercept is -4 so we will now have the equation y= 1/2x -4

so now put -4 into the equation for x and solve for y.

y= 1/2(-4) -4

y = -6

Hall and Mindy are playing a guessing game. Hall tells Mindy: ""The difference between 17 and the square root of my mystery numb

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The possible number that Hall could be thinking of is 144.

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between 17 and the square root of my mystery number

This is represented by:

$17 - \sqrt{x}$

is 5

Then:

$17 - \sqrt{x} = 5$

What are two possible numbers that Hall could be thinking of?

We have to solve the equation, for x. So

$17 - \sqrt{x} = 5$

$\sqrt{x} = 12$

$(\sqrt{x})^2 = (12)^2$

$x = 144$

The possible number that Hall could be thinking of is 144.

My grade is a 77%, if i get a 0% on a paper worth 30% of my grade, what will my grade be now??

blsea [12.9K]

$Grade=Paper+Other$
$Grade=(Grade_{paper}\times Value_{paper})+(Grade_{other}\times Value_{other})$
$Grade=(0 \times 30\%)+(77\% \times (1-30\%))$
$Grade=(0 \times 30\%)+(77\% \times 70\%)$
$Grade=0+53.9\%$
$Grade=53.9\%$

Each person in a group of college students was identified by graduating year and asked when he or she preferred taking classes:

swat32

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency table is attached below.

We have to calculate, the probability that the student preferred morning classes given he or she is a junior.

i.e $P(\text{Morning }|\text{ Junior})$

We know that,

$P(A\ |\ B)=\dfrac{P(A\ \cap\ B)}{P(B)}$

So,

$P(\text{Morning }|\text{ Junior})=\dfrac{P(\text{Morning }\cap \text{ Junior})}{P(\text{Junior})}$

Putting the values from the table,

$\dfrac{P(\text{Morning }\cap \text{ Junior})}{P(\text{Junior})}=\dfrac{\frac{16}{143}}{\frac{26}{143}}=\dfrac{16}{26}=0.615$
