#9 - The Question

1 answer:

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to approach this problem. I like a method that uses the least amount of computation. We could figure how much Wendy makes on a bag of chips, the additional amount Wendy wants to make, then divide the latter by the former to find the number of additional bags to sell.

We could use a proportion to figure the number of bags corresponding to $126 in earnings, then subtract the 72 bags already sold. Essentially, we will do this, but without the intermediate numbers.

__

The additional fraction of 72 bags will be ...

(126/108) -1 = 18/108 = 1/6

Then Wendy must sell an additional ...

(1/6)×(72 bags) = 12 bags

to increase her earnings to $126.

Answer:

Graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The given linear equations are organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where <em>m</em> is the slope of the line and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept, or the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis.

y = 2x + 4

Here, the <em>b</em> value is 4. Therefore, the y-intercept of this line is 4.

y = -3x - 2

Here, the <em>b</em> value is -2. Therefore, the y-intercept of this line is -2.

To identify the graph that models these equations, we just have to look for the graph where the lines cross the y-axis at 4 and -2.

The only graph that does this is graph C.

I hope this helps!

A study conducted at a certain high school shows that 72% of its graduates enroll at a college. Find the probability that among

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$
