Answer:

75 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well there are 12 months and 3 of them start with the letter J, so theoretically, 25% of the months chosen will start with the letter J because $\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$ , which is 25%. 25% of 300 (or $\frac{300}{4}$ , for those who like fractions) is 75, so theoretically, we can expect a month that starts with the letter J 75 times.

Hope this helps!

Find P on AB that is 2/3 of the distance from A(-3,-5) to B(9,4).

Ludmilka [50]

A line segment can be divided into ratios.

The coordinate of P on line segment AB is (5,1)

Given

$A = (-3,-5)$

$B = (9,4)$

The position of P from A to B is:

$P_A = \frac 23$

So, from P to B would be:

$P_B =1 - \frac 23$

$P_B = \frac 13$

So, the ratio is:

$m : n = \frac 23 : \frac 13$

Simplify

$m : n = 2 :1$

The coordinate of point P is:

$P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})$

So, we have:

$P = (\frac{2 \times 9 + 1 \times -3}{2 + 1},\frac{2 \times 4 + 1 \times -5}{2 + 1})$

$P = (\frac{15}{3},\frac{3}{3})$

$P = (5,1)$

Hence, the coordinate of P is (5,1)

A certain process for removing copper from copper bearing ore had been in use for a period of time, and it is known that this pr

Anika [276]

Answer:

d. Ore treated with the new process.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common practice in statistics, in which we use a sample of a population to infer something about the entire population. We should use a sample of 100.

For example, if we want to know the proportion of residents of Buffalo, New York, who are Bills fans, we are going to take a sample of like, 100 residents, and then use this to estimate for the entire city.

In this problem, we have that:

A new process that is supposed to increase the recovered amount is being tested. In a simple random sample of 100 batches of ore, an average of 42 pounds per ton were recovered using the new process.

So the population of interest is the ore treated with new process. We use a sample of 100 to gather information about the entire population.

So the correct answer is:

d. Ore treated with the new process.
