Answer:

0.621

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people that have run a red light in the last year = 290

Number of people that have not run a red light in the last year = 177

Total number of respondents = 290 + 177

                                                 = 467

Pr(if a person is chosen at random, they have run a red light in the last year) = \frac{number of people who has run the red light last year}{total number of respondents}

                   = \frac{290}{467}

                   = 0.621

The probability that if a person is chosen at random, they have run a red light in the last year is 0.621.

A cyclist estimates that he will bike 80 miles this week. He actually bikes 75.5 miles. What is the percent error of the cyclist
maw [93]

Answer:

<em>The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

The cyclist estimates he will bike 80 miles this week, but he really bikes 75.5 miles.

The error of his estimate in miles can be calculated as the difference between his estimate and the real outcome:

Error = 80 miles - 75.5 miles = 4.5 miles

To calculate the error as a percent, we divide that quantity by the original estimate and multiply by 100%:

Error% = 4.5 / 80 * 100 = 5.625%

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

3.27x+1.28y+1.83x−2.77y
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

5.1x - 1.49y

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add or substract like terms.

like terms are the terms that have the same variable, in this case:

3.27x and 1.83x are like terms, and adding them we get:

3.27x + 1.83x = 5.1x (you add only the coefficients and the x stays the same)

we do the same for the terms with 'y':

1.28y and −2.77y are like terms, but in this case we must substract because of the − sign:

1.28y −2.77y = -1.49y

the final answer is the conjunction of the two results that we obtained:

5.1x - 1.49y

a motel clerk counts his $1 and $10 bills at the end of the day. he finds that he has a total of 56 bills having a combined mone
alina1380 [7]
We can write a system of equations:

1x + 10y = 182
x + y = 56

Where 'x' is the number of $1 bills, and 'y' is the number of $10 bills.

To find this we can solve using substitution.

Re-arrange the 2nd equation:

x + y = 56

Subtract 'y' to both sides:

x = -y + 56

Now we can plug in '-y + 56' for 'x' in the first equation.

1x + 10y = 182

1(-y + 56) + 10y = 182

-y + 56 + 10y = 182

Subtract 56 to both sides:

-y + 10y = 126

Combine like terms:

9y = 126

Divide 9 to both sides:

y = 14

Now we can plug this into any of the two equations to find the 'x' value.

x + y = 56

x + 14 = 56

Subtract 14 to both sides:

x = 42

So our final answer is (42, 14).

This means that the motel clerk had 42 $1 bills, and 14 $10 bills.
