Please help. A spinner had 7 identical sections. Two sections are blue, 1 us red, and 4 of the sections are green. Suppose the p

robabilty of an event happening is 2/7 (fraction). What does each number in the ratio represent? What outcome matches this probability?

Note that 7 represents each of the different 7 regions in the spinner. 

1 would represent the red region, as there is one red region.

4 would represent the 4 green regions. Thus, 2 represents the 2 blue regions.



Note that as the spinner spins, no matter which region is colored with which color, the probability of hitting a blue region is \displaystyle{  \frac{2}{7}, as out of 7 regions we can hit, 2 are blue.

(Naturally enough, the greater the number of regions of a certain color, the greater the probability of hitting a region of that color.)


7 is the number of the elements in the sample space.

2 is the number of the elements in the event: "hitting blue".

This probability, as mentioned earlier, is matched by the outcome "hitting blue."

A company uses this formula to work out the cost, £A, of a taxi ride.
velikii [3]

Answer:

£b = £1.68

A = £44.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A = 5 + 1.9m + b

Where,

A = total cost

m = number of miles travelled

£b = charge for booking online

£5 = fixed charge

A. Harry

A = £29.48

m = 12 miles

£b = ?

A = 5 + 1.9m + b

29.48 = 5 + 1.9(12) + b

29.48 = 5 + 22.8 + b

29.48 = 27.8 + b

29.48 - 27.8 = b

b = 1.68

£b = £1.68

b) If Sue books online and travels 20 miles, what will be

A = 5 + 1.9m + b

= 5 + 1.9(20) + 1.68

= 5 + 38 + 1.68

= 44.68

A = £44.68

20 points!! Solve this system of lineal equations.separate the x- and y- values with a comma
Zielflug [23.3K]
Solve the following system:{12 x = 54 - 6 y | (equation 1)-17 x = -6 y - 62 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:{12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 1)-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 2)
Add 12/17 × (equation 1) to equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+(174 y)/17 = 174/17 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 17/174:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:{-(17 x)+0 y = -68 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -17:{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:Answer:  {x = 4 {y = 1


Please note the { are supposed to span over both equations but it interfaces doesn't  allow it. Please see attachment for clarification.

a. Qualitative.

b. Qualitative.

c. Quantitative.

d. Quantitative.

e. Qualitative.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Favorite color can be classified into different categories such as blue,orange, white etc, so, favorite color is a qualitative variable.

b.

Current Occupation can be classified into different categories such as teacher, lawyer and doctor etc, so, current occupation is a qualitative variable.

c.

Number of extra credit problems solved can be meaningfully presented as numerical figures so, number of extra credit problems solved  is a quantitative variable.

d.

Number of students in class can be meaningfully presented as numerical figures so, number of of students in our class is a quantitative variable.

e.

Exam Grades can be classified into different categories such as A, B and C etc, so, exam grades is a qualitative variable.

Reduce 7y + 2y 2 - 7 by 3 - 4y.
NARA [144]

Answer:

D. 2y^2+11y-10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

We need to reduce 7y+2y^2-7 by 3-4y

Solution:

To reduce the equation means we need to subtract the one equation from other.

First we will arrange the equation n proper format we get;

2y^2+7y-7  ⇒ equation 1

Also Arranging other equation we get;

-4y+3   ⇒ equation 2

Now we will subtract equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

(2y^2+7y-7)-(-4y+3)

Now Applying distributive property for the sign we get;

2y^2+7y-7+4y-3

Now Arranging the like terms we get;

2y2+7y-+4y-7-3\\\\2y^2+11y-10

Hence the reduce form of the given equation is 2y^2+11y-10.
