Answer:

The estimate of the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of oil tankers that had spills:

1036 tankers.

777 did not have spills.

So 1036 - 777 = 259 had spills.

The proportion is:

$p = \frac{259}{1036} = 0.25$

The estimate of the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is 0.25.

A snack bar sells two sizes of drinks. A large drink is $5 and a small drink is $3. In one day, they sold 60 drinks for a total

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of L = $5

Cost of S = $3

No. of drinks sold = 60 drinks

Total sale = $220

Solution:

L + S = 60 - (1) (multiplying by 3)

5L + 3S = 220 - (2)

(-)3L +(-) 3S = (-)180 - (1)

2L = 40

L = 40 / 2

L = 20 Large drinks

20 + S = 60

S = 60 - 20

S = 40 small drinks

Therefore, 20 large drinks and 40 small drinks

Segment FG begins at point F(-2, 4) and ends at point G (-2, -3). Segment FG is translated by (x, y) → (x – 3, y + 2) and then r

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The length of the segment F'G' is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Linear Algebra we define reflection across the y-axis as follows:

$(x',y')=(-x, y)$ , $\forall\, x, y\in \mathbb{R}$ (Eq. 1)

In addition, we get this translation formula from the statement of the problem:

$(x',y') =(x-3,y+2)$ , $\forall \,x,y\in \mathbb{R}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$(x, y)$ - Original point, dimensionless.

$(x', y')$ - Transformed point, dimensionless.

If we know that $F(x,y) = (-2, 4)$ and $G(x,y) = (-2,-3)$ , then we proceed to make all needed operations:

Translation

$F''(x,y) = (-2-3,4+2)$

$F''(x,y) = (-5,6)$

$G''(x,y) = (-2-3,-3+2)$

$G''(x,y) = (-5,-1)$

Reflection

$F'(x,y) = (5, 6)$

$G'(x,y) = (5,-1)$

Lastly, we calculate the length of the segment F'G' by Pythagorean Theorem:

$F'G' = \sqrt{(5-5)^{2}+[(-1)-6]^{2}}$

$F'G' = 7$

The length of the segment F'G' is 7.
