The sum of two numbers is 44. One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line 8y-3x=-8

marin [14]

First, we need to make the equation given to be in the form;

y=mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the intercept

8y - 3x = -8

Add 2x to both-side of the equation

8y = 3x - 8

Divide through the equation by 8

y = 3/8 x -1

comparing the above with y =mx + b

m = 3/8

slope of parallel equations are equal

From the options given the only equation with slope 3/8 is;

y= 3/8 x + 8

$y=\frac{3}{8}x\text{ + 8}$

The above equation of the line is parallel to 8y - 3x = -8

T-shirts that usually sell for $28.99 are on sale for $17.89 . What is the percent discount ?

natka813 [3]

Answer:

38.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 28.99 × 38.3/100

Discount = 28.99 x 0.38299999999999995

You save = $11.10

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 28.99 - 11.10317

Final Price = $17.89

Discount = 38.3%

One of the cars is considered a 'collectors classic', so it's age doesn't affect its price as much. What are the coordinates of

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

(8, 8200)

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you got it right, the point (8, 8200) is that of a collectors item car, that has not changed much its original price of about £10,000 (at year zero), having a value of £8,200 8 years later.

What variable did the researchers intentionally vary in the experiment, and what are the units for this variable?.

dybincka [34]

The variable the researchers intentionally varied in the experiment is time and the units of the variable is mins.

<h3>What is an independent variable?</h3>

The independent variable is the variable that the researcher varies or changes or manipulates in the course of the experiment. The independent variable usually have a direct effect on the dependent variable.

With the passage of time, the level of concentration increases. This means that time is the independent variable and concentration is the dependent variable.

(10 points)Assume IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15. Suppose a president, vice

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the binomial and the normal probability distributions.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Probability the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5

IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15, which means that $\mu = 100, \sigma = 15$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 107.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{107.5 - 100}{15}$

$Z = 0.5$

$Z = 0.5$ has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

Probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

First, we find the probability of a single person having an IQ of at least 130, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 130. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{130 - 100}{15}$

$Z = 2$

$Z = 2$ has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

Now, we find the probability of at least one person, from a set of 2, having an IQ of at least 130, which is found using the binomial distribution, with p = 0.0228 and n = 2, and we want:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.9772)^{2}.(0.0228)^{0} = 0.9549$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.0451$

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

What is the probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130?

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Independent events, so we multiply the probabilities.

0.3082*0.0451 = 0.0139

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.
