Aimee and Stan work in the same department for a large corporation. They are curious about the proportion of their coworkers who have children. Aimee obtains a list of all the workers in the department, randomly picks 20 names from the list, and asks those coworkers if they have children. She finds that 72% of those surveyed have children. Stan waits in the break room one morning and asks the first 20 coworkers that pass by if they have children. He finds that 85% of those surveyed have children. Which result is the better estimate of the proportion of coworkers who have children?

Neither result is a good estimate.


85%


72%


Both results are equally good estimates.

2. Out of 35 students participating in a debate, 10 are girls. The probability that winner is a boy is: a)1/7 b)3/7 c)4/7 d)5/7

Answers

Answer: d) 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

10 out of 35 of the students are girls. The number of boys is therefore:

= 35 - 10

= 25 boys

Probability that the winner is a boy is:

megan is trying to find the length of the segment using the Pythagorean Theorem


Part A : megan made one mistake in her work , which caused her to get the wrong answer what did she do wrong?

Part B : Calculate the correct length of the segment

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the length of the segment :

a² + b² = c²

a = 8 ; b = 6

8² + 6² = c²

64 + 36 = c²

100 = c²

Square root of both sides :

Sqrt(100) = sqrt(c²)

10 = c

Mistake in the solution is that 6² = 36 and not 12

You have 8 cups of flour. It takes 1 cup of flour to make 24 cookies. The function C(f) = 24f represents the number of cookies, C, that can be made with f cups of flour. Which set of ordered pairs represent points on the graph of C(f) = 24f?

Answers

Answer:

c(0) = 24*0 = 0  

c(8) = 24*8 = 192  

Your range is [0,192]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

You have 8 cups of flour it takes 1 cup of flour to make 24 cookies the function c(f)=24f

c represents the number of cookies

f represents the cups of flour

You have 8 cups of  flour, we can use only 0 to 8 cups of flour.

so domain f is 0 to 8 cups [0,8]

Now we find the range

1 cup of flour to make 24 cookies

So 8 cups of flour = 24* 8 = 192 cookies

using 8 cups you can make 192 cookies

So number of cookies is from 0 to 192

Range is [0,192

Answers

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information

One can partition this figure into three different parts, two congruent triangles, and one rectangle. To find the value of x, one has to find the base of the two triangles, and then the base of the rectangle. Since opposite sides are congruent, the base of the rectangles is 10. To find the base of the triangle, one has to use the Pythagorean theorem.

2. Base of the rectangle

Again, opposite sides are congruent, hence the base of the rectangle is equivalent to the top part. Hence the base is 10.

3. Base of the triangle

Use the Pythagorean theorem;

[tex]a^{2}+b^{2} = c^{2}\\a-leg\\b-leg\\c-hypotenuse[/tex]

Substitute in the given value and solve

[tex]a^{2}+15^{2} = 17^{2}\\a^{2} + 225 = 289\\a^{2} = 64\\a = 8[/tex]

4. Finding x

There are two congruent trinagles, hence one has to add the base of the triangle twice. The equation will be

x = base_of_triangle + base_of_rectagle + base_of_triangle

x = 8 + 10 + 8

x = 26

Clare went to a concession stand that sells pretzels for $3.25, drinks for $1.85, and bags of popcorn for $0.99 each. She bought at least one of each item and spent no more than $10. Could Clare have purchased 2 pretzels, 2 drinks, and 2 bags of popcorn? Explain your reasoning. Check your work with the video when you are ready

Answers

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of each pretzel = $3.25

Price of each drink = $1.85

Price of each bag of popcorn = $0.99

Maximum money to be spent = $10

Price of two pretzels = $3.25 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = $6.5

Price of two drink = $1.85 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = $3.70

Price of two bags of popcorn = $0.99 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = $1.98

Total money spent for buying two items of each type = $6.5 + $3.70 + $1.98 = $12.18

The money spent when 2 pretzels, 2 drinks and 2 bags of popcorn are bought is $12.18.

But maximum money available is $10.

Therefore, Clare would not be able to buy 2 pretzels, 2 drinks and 2 bags of popcorn with the amount of money available.

Assuming the loan is 100 dollars
100 x .10 = 10
100 + 10 = 110

So he would pay 110 dollars

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 10 x + 6 y = − 84 10x+6y=−84.

Answers

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is written as

y = mx + b where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept.

We put the given equation above in that form

10x + 6y = - 84

6y = -10x - 84

Divide both sides by 6

y = -10x/6 - 84/6

y = -5x/3 - 14

y = -5/3x - 14

The slope of this line is -5/3

But we are told that: the slope of the line is perpendicular to the line

Hence: we find the reciprocal of , -5/3

This is = 3/5

Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 10x + 6y = −84 is 3/5

Write slope intercept of the equation with slope of 7 crossing point (0, 5)
