7 0

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of children be 2x, then number of adults be 3x

Total number is 5x

Let number of children under 10 be 7y, number of children be 3y,

then total number of children is 10y

so 2x = 10y, x = 5y, y/x = 1/5

younger children = children under 10, number is 7y

so the % is 7y/5x = 7/5 * y/x = 7/5 * 1/5 = 7/25 = 28/100 = 28%

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

B. Yuri divided by n instead of n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

It was stated in the question that the dataset was sample dataset. For a sample dataset, the standard deviation is given by the formula,

σ = √ Σ (Xi - mean)²/(n - 1) where i = 1,2,3.....n

Since this is just a sample dataset and not the whole population, Yuri should have divided by n-1 instead of n.

Alina [70]

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:

Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:

x + 2y = 48  

x = 48 - 2y     (1)

Also:

Area (A) = xy

A = (48 - 2y)y

A = 48y - 2y²

The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:

A' = 48 - 4y

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12 feet

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.
