e students at Keisel Middle School. There are 5 times as many right-handed female students as there are left-handed female students, and there are 9 times as many right-handed male students as there are left-handed male students. if there is a total of 18 left-handed students and 122 right-handed students in the school, which of the following is closest to the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female? (Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)

Answer: A) 0.410

In order to solve this problem, you should create two equations using two variables (x and y) and the information you're given. Let x be the number of left-handed female students and let y be the number of left-handed male students. Using the information given in the problem, the number of right-handed female students will be 5x and the number of right-handed male students will be 9y. Since the total number of left-handed students is 18 and the total number of right-handed students is 122, the system of equations below must be true:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

Th term of a seq uence is n(n-4) /n+3 Work out the sum of the 1st and 6th terms.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term Tₙ = n(n-4) /n+3.

The 1st term T₁ = 1(1 - 4)/(1 + 3) = -3/4

The 6th term T₆ = 6(6 - 4)/(6 + 3) = 6(2)/9 = 2(2)/3 = 4/3

So,  the sum of the 1st and 6th terms is T₁ + T₆ = -3/4 + 4/3

= (-9 + 16)/12

= 7/12

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: 15 ounces


Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a company claims the average cereal in boxes of breakfast cereal = 15 ounces

And we know that the mean amount is nothing but the average amount of any data.

Mean is synonym word of average .

The statistical mean is the mean or average that is used to find the central tendency of the data in any question.

Thus, the expected mean amount of cereal per box = 15 ounces.

What is the solution of the proportions 22/11 = r/13?
vagabundo [1.1K]
R=26, you can use cross multiplication to figure this proportion out. 22 times 13 is 286 and 11 times r is 11r , leaving you with 286=11r. you would then divide each side by 11 to isolating the variable giving you r=26.
