The fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

Since there are six essays and each student is required to write an essay on one of the six topics, the probability of choosing one of the six topic is

P(one topic) = one topic/total number of topics

= 1/6.

Since we have 100 students, the fewest number of students that could choose the topic selected by most students is

n = Probability of selecting one topic × total number of students

= P(one topic) × 100

= 1/6 × 100

= 16.67

≅ 17 students.

So, the fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

The number of significant figures in the numbers are

  • 100 cm = 1 significant digit
  • 0.006700 cm = 2 significant digits
  • 450. cm = 3 significant digits

<h3>How to determine the number of significant figures in the following numbers?</h3>

As a general rule, the zeros before and after the non-zero figures are not significant.

Using the above rule, we have:

  • 100 cm = 1 significant digit
  • 0.006700 cm = 2 significant digits
  • 450. cm = 3 significant digits

<h3>How to round the following numbers to the correct number of significant figures</h3>

Using the above rule in (a), we have:

  • 123g to show 1 sig fig = 100 g
  • 0.19851m to show 2 sig figs = 0.2 m
  • 0.0057034L to show 3 sig figs = 0.005703 L

<h3>How to report the following answers with correct significant figures</h3>

We have:

(12.93cm) x (2.34cm) x (8cm) = 242.05 cm^3 because 12.93 has 4 significant figures

67.0m / 2.18s = 30.7 m/s because 2.18 has 3 significant figures

<h3>How to convert the following metric to metric</h3>

450mL = 0.45 L

because 1 mL = 0.001 L

2.3 dm = 0.00023 km

because 1 dm = 0.0001 km

0.120cg = 1.2 mg

because 1 cg = 10 mg

6700L = 670000 cL

because 1 L = 100 cL

<h3>How to convert the following metric</h3>

a. 2.34miles = 3.76 km (1mile = 1.61km) -- given

b. 5.3ft = 161.544 cm(2.54cm = 1 in)

Because 1 ft = 30.48 cm

What is the equation of the linear function represented by the table?
Korolek [52]
Hello!

You can put x into the answer choices to see if we get y
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -x + 9
y = -(-5) + 9
y = 5 + 9
y = 14

This could be a answer

y = -(-2) + 9
y = 2 + 9
y = 11

y = -(1) + 9
y = -1 + 9
y = 8

y = -(4) + 9
y = -4 + 9
y = 5

we got y every time so the answer is the first one

The answer is A) y = -x + 9

Hope this helps!

Sammy's Sandwich Shop has a mean delivery time of 25 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Determine the z-score for t
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

 -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean= 25 minutes.

           Standard deviation= 2 minutes

           x= 23 minutes.

Lets find the z-score for the number of sandwiches delivered in less than 23 mins.

Formula: Z-score= \frac{x-mean}{standard\ deviation}

Z-score= \frac{23-25}{2}

⇒ Z-score= \frac{-2}{2}

∴ Z-score will be -1

Hence, -1 is the z-score for the number of sandwiches delivered in less than 23 minutes.
