Answer:

Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.

This means that this question can be solved

by proportions, using a rule of three.

How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?

Using a rule of three:

50 points - 40 shots

x points - 60 shots

Applying cross multiplication:

4x = 50 × 60

Divide from both sides

x = 50 × 1.25 = 75

Answer is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:

It asked for how many 60 shots would score.

You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them

50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5

So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5

Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.

60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5

& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.

Hope it made sense :)

yarga [219]

Answer:

Weight of parcel to the nearest whole kilogram = 6 kg

Explanation:

 Weight of parcel = 12 lbs 8 oz

 1lb = 16 oz  also we have 1lb = 454 g

 Weight of parcel = 12 lbs 8 oz = 12 + (8/16) lbs = 12.5 lbs

  Weight of parcel in g = 12.5*454 = 5675 g

  Weight of parcel = 5675 g = 5.675 kg

  Weight of parcel to the nearest whole kilogram = 6 kg

Lindsay owns 12 books

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3x:Lindsay

x:Destiny

1/4x: Henry

1/3x+1/4x+x=57

4/12x+3/12x+x=57

7/12x+x=57

19/12x=57

x=57*12/19

x=36

1/3x=36/3

Interest centers around the life of an electronic component. Let A be the event that the component fails a particular test and B
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: a. 0.61

b. 0.37

c. 0.63

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

P(A) = 0.39 and P(B) = 0.24

P(success) + P( failure) = 1

A) What is the probability that the component does not fail the​ test?

Since A is the event that the component fails a particular test, the probability that the component does not fail the​ test will be P(success). This will be:

= 1 - P(A)

= 1 - 0.39

= 0.61

B) What is the probability that a component works perfectly well (i.e., neither displays strain nor fails the test)?

This will be the probability that the component does not fail the​ test minus the event that the component displays strain but does not actually fail. This will be:

= [1 - P(A)] - P(B)

= 0.61 - 0.24

= 0.37

C) What is the probability that the component either fails or shows strain in the test?

This will simply be:

= 1 - P(probability that a component works perfectly well)

= 1 - 0.37

= 0.63

Find the margin of error for the given values of c, o, and n.
Alika [10]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the margin of error is of 0.059.

We are given the standard deviation for the population, hence the <em>z-distribution</em> is used.

<h3>What is the margin of error for a z-confidence interval?</h3>

It is given by:

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • z is the critical value.
  • \sigma is the population standard deviation.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem, the parameters are:

  • \sigma = 0.25, n = 49.
  • Confidence level of 0.90, hence, using a z-distribution calculator, the critical value is z = 1.645.

Then:

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 1.645\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{49}}

M = 0.059

The margin of error is of 0.059.
