For part A Amy's estimate is inaccurate because when adding fractions they must have the same denominators. Amy probably made the mistake of adding 1/4 and 1/3 without changing the denominators first which gave her 1/7. If she were to do it correctly then she would've ended up with 7/12 as her answer.

My work:

1/4=3/12
1/3=4/12
4/12+3/12=7/12

I hope this helps and if I gave any false information I apologize in advance.

The graph shows the solution to the previous system of equations.

patriot [66]

Answer:

Shade above 2x + y = 4.

Shade below 2x + y = 4.

Shade above 2y = 6 – 2x.

Shade below 2y = 6 – 2x.

Make the boundary line 2x + y = 4 dashed.

PLEASE HELP. graph the set of points which model is most appropriate for the set (-6,4)(-4,0)(-3,-2)(-1,-7)

SOVA2 [1]

A linear equation would be the best fit, but the last point (-1,-7) kinda messes it up. If the -7 would have been a -6 the line y=-2x-8 would fit perfectly.

1. (Sec. 6.1) In a random sample of 80 components of a certain type, 12 are found to be defective. (a) Give a point estimate for

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

(a) 0.85

(b) 0.7225

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The point estimate for the proportion of all such components that are not defective is given by the number of non-defective units in the sample divided by the sample size:

$p=\frac{80-12}{80}\\p=0.85$

The proportion is 0.85.

(b) Assuming that the sample is large enough to accurately provide a point estimate for the whole population, this can be treated as a binomial model with probability of success (non-defective part) p = 0.85. Since both components must be non-defective for the system to work, the probability of two successes in two trials is:

$P(x=2) = 0.85^2\\P(x=2) = 0.7225$

An estimate of 0.7225 for the proportion of all such systems that will function properly.

What are the factors of the expression x^2+x-20?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

(x-4)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 numbers knowing sum (1) and product (-20). To find them, factor pairs of (-20) --> (-2,10) (-4,5). This sum is 1=b. Then, these 2 numbers are: - 4 and 5. Y=(x-4) (x+5). Hope this helped :)
