<h3>Answer:  2/5</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

A = list of primes between 2 and 16, inclusive for both endpoints

A = {2,3,5,7,11,13}

B = list of integers between 2 and 16, inclusive for both endpoints

B = {2,3,4,...,14,15,16}

The dots indicate the pattern continues, which means we don't have to write out every value.

There are n(A) = 6 items in set A and n(B) = 16-2+1 = 15 items in set B. I'm using the formula that a set like {p,p+1,p+2,...,q-2,q-1,q} has q-p+1 elements in it. This only works for integers and they must be consecutive. Also q > p.

Once we know how many items are in each set, we divide the two counts

P(finding a prime between 2 and 16) = n(A)/n(B) = 6/15 = 2/5

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount. The regular price of a shirt is $14. What is the disco
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

$11.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price of the T-Shirt is $14 dollars. The discount is 20% off.

20 percent of 14:

14 * 0.2 = 2.80

You would save $2.80.

14 - 2.80 = 11.20

The discount price should be $11.20.

Hope this helps.

Sal and her three friends plan to bowl one or two games each. Each game costs $2.50 each. Identify the independent and dependent
tino4ka555 [31]
So the dependent is the number of games because it's not definite they dont know for sure. so the domain always involves money!!! always! the range wiyld be the numbers they migh play like 8-10 so 4 to 8 is the range value. so determining off of that the indepedent variable would be the total cost becuase it wont change so your answer is C hope this helped have a good day!!!

Select all possible values for x in the equation x^3=375?
Helga [31]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

The possible values for x in the equation, are:

First option, 5\sqrt[3]{3}

Second option,  \sqrt[3]{375}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to remember the following properties of the exponents and roots:

a\sqrt[n]{b}=\sqrt[n]{a^{n}*b} \\\\\sqrt[n]{a^{m} }=a^{\frac{m}{n}}\\\\(a^{b})^{c}=a^{b*c}

Then, we are given the expression:

x^{3}=375

So, finding "x", we have:

x^{3}=375\\\\(x^{3})^{\frac{1}{3} } =(375)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\x=\sqrt[3]{375}=\sqrt[3]{125*3}=\sqrt[3]{125}*\sqrt[3]{3}=5\sqrt[3]{3}

Hence, the possible values for x in the equation, are:

First option, 5\sqrt[3]{3}

Second option,  \sqrt[3]{375}

Have a nice day!
