The incomplete table above summarizes the number of left-handed students and right-handed students by gender for the eighth grad

e students at Keisel Middle School. There are 5 times as many right-handed female students as there are left-handed female students, and there are 9 times as many right-handed male students as there are left-handed male students. if there is a total of 18 left-handed students and 122 right-handed students in the school, which of the following is closest to the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female? (Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)
A) 0.410
B) 0.357
C) 0.333
D) 0.250

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

When you solve this system of equations, you get x=10 and y=8. Thus, 5*10, or 50, of the 122 right-handed students are female. Therefore, the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female is

50/122

which to the nearest thousandth is 0.410.

Find the amount of empty space within a cylinder containing three solid spheres, where each sphere has a radius of 3 cm. (Volume
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cylinder's height=3×(diameter of sphere)=3×6=18 cm

radius of cylinder=3 cm

volume of cylinder=π r²h=π(3)²×18=162 π cm³

volume of sphere=4/3 π(3)³=36 π cm³

reqd. empty space=162 π-3×36π=54 πcm³

a baseball team scored the following number of runs in its game this season: 6, 2, 5, 9, 11, 4, 5, 8, 6, 7, 5. there is one more
frez [133]
After the season, 12 games would be played, and you need to know this to work out the mean
Let's call the number of points needed for a 6 point average 'x'
The mean would be: 6 + 2 + 5 + 9 + 11 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 5 + x = 12 * 6
Simply put:
68 + x = 72
Then simplify it
x = 4
They would need 4 points to end the season with an average of 6 points

 Divide 1 hour in the ratio 1 : 9 : 10
olganol [36]

Answer:

3 minutes; 27 minutes; 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common multiplier of the given ratios be x. So, the ratios 1: 9 : 10 will become x, 9x and 10x respectively.

Therefore,

x + 9x + 10x = 1 \: hour \\  \\ 20x = 60 \: minutes \\  \\ x =  \frac{60 \: minutes}{3}   \\  \\ x = 3 \: minutes \\  \\ 9x = 9 \times 3 = 27 \: minutes \\  \\ 10x =  10 \times 3 = 30 \: minutes

Thus, 1 hour in the ratio 1 : 9 : 10 can be divided as:

3 minutes; 27 minutes; 30 minutes

Which of the following functions is graphed below.
Valentin [98]

Answer: Option A

y=\left \{ {{x^2 +2;\ \ x

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph we have a piecewise function composed of a parabola and a line.

The parabola has the vertex in the point (0, 2) and cuts the y-axis in y = 2.

The equation of this parabola is y = x ^ 2 +2

Then we have an equation liney = -x + 2


Note that the interval in which the parabola is defined is from -∞ to x = 1. Note that the parabola does not include the point x = 1 because it is marked with an empty circle " о ."

(this is x< 1)

Then the equation of the line goes from x = 1 to ∞ . In this case, the line includes x = 1 because the point at the end of the line is represented by a full circle .

(this is x\geq 1)

Then the function is:

y=\left \{ {{x^2 +2;\ \ x
