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

Write the inverse of f(x)=x2+4

Over [174]

F(x) = x² + 4
y = x² + 4

First, I reverse the equation to be
x² + 4 = y

Second, we need only x to remain on the left side and we need to move the others to the right side
x² + 4 = y
x² = y - 4
x = √(y - 4)

Last, change into invers function
f⁻¹(x) = √(x - 4)

Find three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 1884.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

smallest number=626

middle number=628

larger number=630

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the numbers, let's use n as the variable. Since we know that the numbers are consecutive even numbers, we know that they increase by 2. For example, we could have 2+4+6=12.

Knowing that the consecutive numbers increase by two's, we can use this.

smallest number: n

middle number: n+2

larger number: n+4

All we have to do is add these together and set it equal to 1884.

n+(n+2)+(n+4)=1884 [combine like terms]

3n+6=1884 [subtract both sides by 6]

3n=1878 [divide both sides by 3]

n=626

Now that we know n=626, we also know that the other numbers are 626, 628, 630 respectively.

If x=-1\3 is a zero of a polynomial p(x)=27xcube -axsquare -x+3 then find the value of a

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

a = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = h is a zero of a polynomial then f(h) = 0, thus

p(- $\frac{1}{3}$ ) = 27( - $\frac{1}{3}$ )³ - a(- $\frac{1}{3}$ ) - (- $\frac{1}{3}$ ) + 3 = 0, that is

27 (- $\frac{1}{27}$ ) - $\frac{1}{9}$ a + $\frac{1}{3}$ + 3 = 0

- 1 - $\frac{1}{9}$ a + $\frac{10}{3}$ = 0 ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fractions )

- 9 - a + 30 = 0

- a + 21 = 0 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

- a = - 21 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 21

How do I do number 2 ? Someone please helpp w

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

yes it is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to take the numbers and see if any of them are the same in the X column if their are some of the same numbers you only write the number once. than you connect the numbers to the given output. If any numbers have 2 outputs it is not a function.
