Answer:

2/8 of the fifth graders are not in band

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many fifth graders are not in band, subtract the # of fifth graders in band. Your difference is the amount of fifth graders that are not in band. To check your answer add 2/8 + 6/8 which should be equal to 8/8 or a whole ( 1 ).

Find the values of the 30th and 90th percentiles of the data. Please show your work.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

30th percentile:109

90th percentile: 188

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is:

129, 113, 200, 100, 105, 132, 100, 176, 146, 152

We arrange the data set in ascending order to obtain;

Array= $100,100,105,113,129,132,146,176,200$

The 30th percentile is located at

$(\frac{30}{100}\times 10 )}$ -th position, where n=10 is the number of items in the data set

This implies that the 30th percentile is at the 3rd position.

Since 3 is an integer, the 30th percentile is the average of the 3rd and 4th occurrence in the array;

This implies that the 30th percentile = $\frac{105+113}{2}=\frac{218}{2}=109$

The 90th percentile is located at

$(\frac{90}{100}\times 10 )}$ -th position, where n=10 is the number of items in the data set

This implies that the 90th percentile is at the 9th position.

Since 9 is an integer, the 90th percentile is the average of the 9th and 10th occurrence in the array;

This implies that the 90th percentile = $\frac{176+200}{2}=\frac{376}{2}=188$

Find the area of a parallelogram if a base and corresponding altitude have the indicated lengths.

Vitek1552 [10]

The answer is 3/4 ft² = 0.75 ft²

The area (A) of the parallelogram with altitude a and base b is:
A = a * b

We have:
A = ?
a = 6 in
Since 1 inch is 0.083 feett, then 6 inches is
a = 6 * 0.083 ft = 0.498 ft ≈ 0.5 ft = 1/2 ft
b = 1 1/2 ft = 1 + 1/2 ft = 2/2 + 1/2 ft = 3/2 ft
_______
A = a * b
a = 1/2 ft
b = 3/2 ft
A = 1/2 * 3/2 = 3/4 ft² = 0.75 ft²

On Sunday a library checked out 52books .if 24 of the books were fiction what is the ratio of non fiction books to fiction books

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books checked out = 52

Number of fiction books checked out = 24

So, number of non fiction books = Total books - number of fiction books

Or, number of non fiction = 52 - 24 = 28 books

Now, ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 28 : 24

Solving the ratio term in its lowest form, we get

The Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6

Parallel to y=2/3x+4 and goes through (-9,-2)

Ostrovityanka [42]

Hey there :)

y = $\frac{2}{3}x + 4$

Since this line is parallel to the line to be found, both have the same slope: $\frac{2}{3}$

Coordinates: ( - 9 , - 2 )

y - ( -2 ) = $\frac{2}{3}$ ( x - ( -9 ) )
$y + 2 = \frac{2}{3} x + 6$
$y = \frac{2}{3} x + 6 - 2$

$y = \frac{2}{3}x + 4$
