Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 24 pets total (count all of the dots on the plot)

16 students have 2 or more pets (count the dots from point 2 until 6)

your fraction is 16/24

16/24 is 2/3 simplified

hope this helps

Finish the sequence using deductive reasoning. 3,6,12,?,?,?,?

Bad White [126]

Answer:

24,48,96,192

Step-by-step explanation:

3*x =6

Divide by 3

3x/3 =6/2

x=2

We are multiply by 2

Check

6*2 =12

Correct

12*2 =24

24*2 =48

48*2= 96

96*2= 192

{8x-10y=20 and -7x+10y-20

lidiya [134]

Write the equations:

8x-10y=20

-7x+10y=20

Add them using elimination

x=40

Now solve for y

8(40)-10y=20

10y=300

y=30

So there you have it: x=40, y=30.

In studies for a medication, 3 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 643 patients are randomly selected.

timofeeve [1]

Part a)

It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.

This means

$p = 0.03$

$q = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97$

The mean is

$\mu = np$

$\mu = 643 \times 0.03 = 19.29$

The standard deviation is

$\sigma = \sqrt{npq}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{643 \times 0.03 \times 0.97}$

$\sigma =4.33$

We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.

P(X=24)

We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)

P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores.

$P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 24.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \: \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \: 1.20) \\ = 0.051$

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≤24)

We apply the continuity correction factor to get;

P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores to get:

$P(X \: < \: 24.5) = P(z \: < \: \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P(z \: < \: 1.20) \\ = 0.8849$

Part c)

We want to find the probability that

11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≥11)

Apply correction factor to get:

P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)

We convert to z-scores:

$P(X \: > \: 10.5) = P(z \: > \: \frac{10.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P(z \: > \: - 2.03)$

$= 0.9788$

Part d)

We want to find the probability that:

between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.

P(24≤X≤28)=

P(23.5≤X≤28.5)

Convert to z-scores:

$P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 28.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \: \frac{28.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \: 2.13) \\ = 0.1494$

Select a brand with the least expensive corn per ounce

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price per ounce can be calculated as the amount of you paid divided the number of ounces that you get.

A) we have a table:

ounces price

18 $1.5

36 $3.00

54 $4.5

We can see that here we have a linear relationship. for example, the price for 18 ounces is $1.5

Then the price per ounce is:

p = $1.5/18 = $0.083

B) here we know that 15 oz cost $0.75, the price per ounce is:

p = $0.75/15 = $0.05

C) here we have 11 ounces, and the price is $2.20

then we have:

p = $2.2/11 = $0.2

Then we can conclude that the least expensive is option B.
