Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected value is the probability times the frequency.
3 = 1/6 × n
n = 18
Note: the use of the word "odds" is very misleading here. Odds are the ratio of number of successes to number of failures:
S / F
Probability is the ratio of number of successes to number of all outcomes:
S / (S + F)
So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6. The odds of rolling a 5 is 1/5.
Furthermore, the word "must" is also incorrect. The player didn't <em>have</em> to roll 18 times. They could have rolled three times and gotten a 5 each time. Or they could have rolled 100 times. 18 is simply the most <em>likely </em>number of rolls needed to get three 5's.
D. is the correct answer because vertical angles are always equal.
-5/8c = 20....multiply both sides by -8/5 (this cancels out the -5/8 on the left
c = 20(-8/5)
c = -160/5
c = - 32
check..
-5/8(-32) = 20
160/8 = 20
20 = 20 (correct)
so c = -32
Answer:
B. r + l = 45; 2r + 3l = 96
39 regular; 6 long-distance
Step-by-step explanation:
There were 45 baskets, so
(1) r + l = 45
There were 96 points in the game, so
(2) 2r + 3l = 96
Solve equation (1) for l
l = 45 – r Substitute the value for l in Equation (2)
2r + 3(45 – r) = 96 Remove parentheses
2r + 135 - 3r = 96 Combine like terms
-r + 135 = 96 Subtract 135 from each side
-r = -39 Multiply each side by -1
r = 39 Substitute the value of r in Equation (1)
39 + l = 45 Subtract 39 from each side
l = 6
===============
Check:
(1) 39 + 6 = 45
45 = 45
(2) 2×39 + 3×6 = 96
78 + 18 = 96
96 = 96
