Answer:

This is 0.14 to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we list the parameters;

Drive to school = 40

Take the bus = 50

Walk = 10

Sophomore = 30

Junior = 35

Senior = 35

Total number of students in sample is 100

Let W be the event that a student walked to school

So P(w) = 10/100 = 0.1

Let S be the event that a student is a senior

P(S) = 35/100 = 0.35

The probability we want to calculate can be said to be;

Probability that a student walked to school given that he is a senior

This can be represented and calculated as follows;

P( w| s) = P( w n s) / P(s)

w n s is the probability that a student walked to school and he is a senior

We need to know the number of seniors who walked to school

From the table, this is 5/100 = 0.05

So the Conditional probability is as follows;

P(W | S ) = 0.05/0.35 = 0.1429

To the nearest hundredth, that is 0.14

In an animal shelter, the ratio of dogs to cats is 5 to.There are 25 dogs. Write and solve a proportion to find the number c of

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

5 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

d/c = 5/1

d = 25 Substitute in the proportion

25/c = 5/1 Multiply both sides by c

25 = 5c/1

25 = 5c Divide each side by 5

c = 5

There are five cats.

The two lines y= 6x+15 and y= mx+4 intersect at x= -2. What is the y-coordinate of their intersection point

taurus [48]

Answer:

The y-coordinate of their intersection point is 3

That is y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two lines are y=6x+15 and y=mx+4

Given that the two lines intersect at x=-2

To find the y coordinate of their intersection point :

Equating the two lines

6x+15=mx+4

6x+15-mx-4=0

6x-mx+11=0

(6-m)x+11=0

At x=-2 (6-m)x+11=0

(6-m)(-2)+11=0

(6-m)(-2)=-11

$6-m=\frac{11}{2}$

$-m=\frac{11}{2}-6$

$-m=\frac{11-12}{2}$

$-m=\frac{-1}{2}$

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

Substitute the value $m=\frac{1}{2}$ in y=mx+4 we get

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+4$

At x=-2 $y=\frac{1}{2}(-2)+4$

$=-1+4$

$=3$

Therefore y=3

Therefore the y-coordinate of their intersection point is 3

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 29 students, 7 of them play basketball and 14 of them

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

<em>Two possible answers below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability and Sets</u>

We are given two sets: Students that play basketball and students that play baseball.

It's given there are 29 students in certain Algebra 2 class, 10 of which don't play any of the mentioned sports.

This leaves only 29-10=19 players of either baseball, basketball, or both sports. If one student is randomly selected, then the propability that they play basketball or baseball is:

$\displaystyle P=\frac{19}{29}$

P = 0.66

Note: if we are to calculate the probability to choose one student who plays only one of the sports, then we proceed as follows:

We also know 7 students play basketball and 14 play baseball. Since 14+7 =21, the difference of 21-19=2 students corresponds to those who play both sports.

Thus, there 19-2=17 students who play only one of the sports. The probability is:

$\displaystyle P=\frac{17}{29}$

P = 0.59

What is 4x+3y+2z and 3x+5y+3z?

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 8y + 5z

I put the equations in parentheses, assuming that I would be adding both of the equations together. Then, I removed them and combined the like terms. I used two calculators to check my answer, and this should be correct.
