6 0

Answer:

450 portugals

Step-by-step explanation:

in this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of portugals which are picked by the farmer

Firstly, let the number of portugals picked be p and the number of oranges picked be r.

Thus;

p + r = 600 ••••••••••(i)

Secondly there are 3 times as many oranges as there are portugals;

That would be;

3 * r = p

3r = p. •••••••••(ii)

substitute ii into i

3r + r = 600

4r = 600

r = 600/4

r = 150

P = 3r

p = 3 * 150 = 450

A pair of shoes cost $120 but they are 25% Off;
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Discount = $30, Final price = $90

Step-by-step explanation:

25% is one quarter. 120/4=30

One quarter of 120 is 30, so - 30 would give discounted price of $90.

Similarly you could think of it like the discounted price is 75% of the original one and do 120x0.75=90 to find 75% of 120.

Hope this helped!

QUESTION 1 The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards.Assume that the driving
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

P(X>300)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(X>300)= 1-P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X ="driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour" and we know that:

X \sim Unif (a=284.7, b=310.6)

And for this case the probability density function is given by:

f(x) =\frac{1}{310.6 -284.7} =0.0386 , 284.7 \leq X \leq 310.6

And the cumulative distribution function is given by:

F(x) =\frac{x-284.7}{310.6-284.7} , 284.7 \leq X \leq 310.6

And we want to find this probability:

P(X>300)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(X>300)= 1-P(X

What does the f(n - 1) represent?
leonid [27]

I'm assuming that you are talking about sequences <3

In the context of a recursive formula where we have "n-1" in sub-index of "a", you can think of "a" as the previous term in the sequence. In the context of an explicit formula like "-5+2(n-1)" "n-1" represents how many times we need to add 2 to the first term to get the nth term.

Dw if you don't understand, sequences and functions isn't an easy topic
