Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

x=blue

y=white

x+y=40

30x+20y=920

30(x+y=40) ; 30x+30y=1200___[1]

30x+20y=920 ; 30x+20y=920___[2]

[1]-[2] : 30x+30y-30x-20y=1200-920

       10y=280

       y=28

painter buys 28 white gallons

is the normal law with mean 11 and standard deviation 2. 
Using a scientific calculator we get the probability 0.3. 

Now multiply by the population which is 1000 like this:
0.3*1000=300.

Tricky but not crazy hard. You could use th x/y method where you turn it into a cross multiplication fiasco.

or you can try your guesses through what ever equals 1/2 when you add one to the denominator. the answer you are looking for is 2/3

2/3 + 1 for the numerator = 1.

2/3 + 1 for the denominator = 1/2.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

<h2>C) (negative 1, one-half), (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 4)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The set C could be generated by an exponential function. The main reason is that exponential functions hava a restricted range, it can't have negative numbers or the number zero, because power can only be equal or greater than 1.

Additionally, for all exponentials, a null exponent gives 1 as an answer, so point (0, 1) is always present in an exponential function.

Therefore, the right answer is C.
