Marcus, Shaun, and Tristan each invested into new business. They invested 1 point

Schach [20]

Shaun invested $176,250 into the new business.

Marcus invested half of the $940,000 so the amount that Shaun and Tristan invested is:

= 940,000 / 2

= $470,000

Shaun and Tristan invested in the ratio 3:5.

The amount that Shaun invested is:

<em>= (Ratio of Shaun / Sum of the ratios) x Amount both invested </em>

= (3 / (3 + 5 )) x 470,000

= 3/8 x 470,000

= $176,250

In conclusion, Shaun must have invested $176,250 into the business.

Sam needs 7 1/2 cups of orange juice to make punch for a group of her friends. She only has 5 1/3 cups. Write and solve an equat

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Equation is $x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2}$ where $x$ denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

$x=\frac{13}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

Number of cups needed to make punch $=7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2}$

Number of cups with Sam $=5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}$

Therefore,

$x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2}\\\\x= \frac{15}{2}-\frac{16}{3}\\\\x=\frac{45-32}{6}\\\\x=\frac{13}{6}$

Find the slope of the line passing through the points given below or state that the slope is undefined. Then indicate whether th

Varvara68 [4.7K]

QUESTION A

The given points are

$(x_1,y_1)=(8,3)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(9,8)$

The slope can be found using the formula;

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

We substitute the point to obtain;

$m=\frac{8-3}{9-8}$

This simplifies to

$m=\frac{5}{1} =5$

Therefore the slope is 5.

QUESTION 2

A positive slope indicates a rising line

A negative slope indicates a rising line

A zero slope means the line is horizontal.

An undefined slope means the line is vertical.

The correct answer is

A. The line rises from left to right.

In a normal distribution, what is the probability that a data value will fall below the

Serga [27]

Answer:

A 99.96%

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score shows by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is positive if the raw score is above the mean while the z score is negative if the raw score is below the mean. The z score is given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ z=z-score,\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean, \ \sigma=standard\ deviation\\\\For\ a\ sample\ size(n):\\\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }$

The probability can be gotten from the normal distribution table. Therefore from the normal table:

P(z < 3.37) = 0.9996 = 99.96%
