Answer:

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate = 3/8

Number of dark chocolate = 21

Find:

Number of milk chocolate in beg

Computation:

Number of milk chocolate in beg = Number of dark chocolate / Probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 21 / [3/8]

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 21[8/3]

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 7[8]

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 56

Suppose 40% of the students in a university are baseball players. If a sample of 781 students is selected, what is the probabili

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

$P(p>0.43) = 0.0436$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p = 40\%$ -- proportion of baseball players

$n = 781$ --- selected sample

Required

Determine P(p>43%)

First, calculate the z score using:

$Z = \frac{\^{p}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

This gives:

$Z = \frac{48\%-40\%}{\sqrt{\frac{40\% *(1 - 40\%)}{781}}}$

Convert % to decimal

$Z = \frac{0.43-0.40}{\sqrt{\frac{0.40 *(1 - 0.40)}{781}}}$

$Z = \frac{0.43-0.40}{\sqrt{\frac{0.40 *0.60}{781}}}$

$Z = \frac{0.43-0.40}{\sqrt{\frac{0.24}{781}}}$

$Z = \frac{0.03}{\sqrt{0.00030729833}}$

$Z = \frac{0.03}{0.01752992669}$

$Z = 1.71$

So:

$P(p>0.43) = P(Z>1.71)$

$P(p>0.43) = 1 - P(Z$

$P(p>0.43) = 1 - 0.9564$

$P(p>0.43) = 0.0436$

PLEASE HELP WITH ALGEBRA AND SHOW WORK :) an explanation would be nice too because this topic confuses me :/

fgiga [73]

A.

$f(t) = t^2 + 4t-14\\ f(t)=t^2+4t+4-18\\ f(t)=(t+2)^2-18$

B.

$f(x)=(x-h)^2+k \Rightarrow \text{vertex}=(h,k)\\\\ f(t)=(t+2)^2-18 \Rightarrow \text{vertex}=(-2,-18)$

It's a minimum, becuase $a=1>0$ .

C.

The axis of symmetry is $x=h$ . So, in this case, it's $x=-2$ .

The graph represents one side of the roof of a building.<br> The slope of the line is

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 7/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passes through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , then the slope of the line is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the given figure it is clear that the line passes though two points (0,0) and (4,14).

Using the above formula, the slope of the line is

$m=\frac{14-0}{4-0}$

$m=\frac{14}{4}$

$m=\frac{7}{2}$

Therefore the slope of the line is 7/2.
