Sample space of 7th grade (5 boys + 5 girls)

sample space of 8th grade (5 boys + 3 girls)


P(boy 7th grade) = 5/10 =1/2
P(boy 8th grade) = 5/8
Hence the probability of selecting a boy from 7th AND a boy from 8th is:

(1/2)x(5/8) ==> 5/16 ( It's a conditional probability)

So the ratios are 5:5 and 3:5 so the fractions are 5/10 (1/2) for 7th grade and 5/8 for 8th grade

use the graph to determine the domain and range of the relation and state whether the relation is a function
Alex

Answer:

the domain is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4... to positive infinity}

The range is {-1, -3, 0, -4 and so on}

this is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

domain is a set of all x values, so just write the x values based on the graph

range is a set of all y values, so just write y values based on the graph

not function because it doesnt satisfy with the vertical line test.

i hop it help u

How would you find the quadratic that goes through the point (4,0), the axis of symmetry is x=7, and it also goes through the po
nasty-shy [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = (5/27)(x -7)^2 -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given points to find the unknowns in the equation.

If the axis of symmetry is x=7, then the equation can be written in the form ...

  y = a(x -7)^2 +b

Filling in the two point values, we have two equations:

  0 = a(4 -7)^2 +b   ⇒   9a +b = 0

  5 = a(1 -7)^2 +b   ⇒   36a +b = 5

__

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we have ...

  (36a +b) -(9a +b) = (5) -(0)

  27a = 5

  a = 5/27

Substituting that value into the first equation gives ...

  9(5/27) +b = 0

  5/3 +b = 0

  b = -5/3

So, the quadratic can be written in vertex form as ...

  y = (5/27)(x -7)^2 -5/3

Find the percent error of the measurement 7cm.
RideAnS [48]
The problem wants to calculate the percentage error of the measurement of 7cm and if the measurement is uncertain we could use the formula of getting the error by margin of error over measurement time 100% and base on the data, the error would be if the margin error is 7.5 is 107 %. I hope you are satisfied with my answer
