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.

If f(x) = 2(34) + 1, what is the value of f(2)? <br>​
larisa86 [58]
I believe that f(2) is 34.5

f(2) = 2(34) + 1
f(2) = 68 + 1
f(2) = 69
f = 69/2
f = 34.5
