Add all the coins to get total coins:

6 + 8 + 12 + 3 = 29 total coins

Subtract dimes to find total of the coins that are not dimes:

29 -6 = 23

Probability of not picking a dime is the number of coins that aren’t dimes over total coins:

23/29

We know that a class interval must be greater than what the I formula solution is; however... What is the solution for class int

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Therefore the answer is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

class interval = range / number of classes

But here number of classes is not given , so we use the formula

class interval = range / ( 1+ 3.322 log N)

where , range =maximum - minimum = 220-100 = 120

N= number of observations = 50

class interval = 120 / ( 1+ 3.322 * log 50) = 18.06

Rounding up to a convinient number

Thus , class intervai = 20

Therefore the answer is 20.

pioneers are buying mules to trek across the country. each of the 5 wagons require e mules to pull them. write the equation to e

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

d = 5e

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of wagons = 5

Number of miles per wagon = e

Total number of mules = d

Hence, relationship between total mules d needed will be ;

Total mules = number of wagons * Numbe rof mules per wagon

d = 5e

Bill's Bargains sells 16 ounces of Circle O's cereal for $3.36. Debbie's Deals sells 40 ounces of Circle O's cereal for $7.60. W

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Debbie's Deals has the better deal with a price of $0.19 per ounce compared to Bill's Bargains at $0.21 per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide $3.36 by 16 = $0.21

Divide $7.60 by 40 = $0.19

Debbie's Deals sells the Circle O's cereal for a cheaper per ounce price thus it's the better price and the better deal.

Good luck!

write a slope intercept equation for a line passing through the point (2,-2) that is parallel and perpendicular to the line x=-1

vekshin1

You would need two different lines to complete this as lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular (these are opposites). The answers would be:

Parallel: x = 2

Perpendicular: y = -2

In order to find these, we first need to see that the original line of x = -1 is a horizontal line. Therefore, any line that is parallel should be horizontal as well. To get a horizontal line through the point (2, -2), the only option is x = 2.

Similarly, with the perpendicular line, if the original line is horizontal, the new line must be vertical. The only vertical line that goes through (2, -2) is y = -2.

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-

maria [59]

Answer:

y=2x+1, assuming my change in the reported data was correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data for x had one more entry than the values for y. I removed the second "0" so that the x and y points line up, as shown in the attached image. The data indicate a straight line, with a slope of 2 (y increases by 2 for every x increase of 1). The y-intercept is 1, as per the first data point (0,1).
