In a group of 27 pupils, 7 play the flute only.
5 play the piano only.
10 play both instruments.
A student is chosen at random.
What is the probability the student plays neither instrument?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5/27

Step-by-step explanation:

I wrote it as a fraction, but the explanation is, if you're finding out how many who don't play instruments, you first need to find out who many do play instruments, so you add the numbers together.

10+5+7 = 22

So the probability that you'll pick one who does play an instrument would be 22/27 (because 22 out of the 27 pupils play an instrument.) But remember that's not what it's asking us for.

You have to subtract 27 - 22 to get the pupils who don't play instruments, you get 5, so the probability is 5/27 (5 pupils out of 27 don't play instruments.)

To put this in a percent, just divide the top number by the bottom number and move the decimal 2 places over, you get 18.5% or 19% both answers are correct depending on rounding.

Use two sets of coordinates to write an equation
to describe the relationship.

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

An equation that describes the relationship can be written as [tex] y = mx [/tex].

Using the two sets of coordinates, (2, 140) and (4, 280), calculate the slope (m) as shown below:

[tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{280 - 140}{4 - 2} = \frac{140}{2} = 70 [/tex]

Substitute m = 70 into [tex] y = mx [/tex]

The equation would be:

[tex] y = 70x [/tex]

This equation can be interpreted as follows:

patricia wants to have her living room carpet cleaned she found three different companies that would clean the carpet for $198 the companies are each offering discounts on their carpet cleaning services

Answers

Answer:

company 1 final price: $148.5

company 2 final price: $168

company 3 final price: $132

thus, the best choice is company 3 because it costs the least and all services are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

company 1 is offering 25% off the price of their service

company 2 is offering $30 off the price of their service

company 3 is offering a 1/3 discount off the price of their service

the price of the cleaning is $198

company 1: 25% discount = 75% of the original price $198, which would be $198 * 3/4, or $148.5

company 2: $30 dollars off, which means $198 - $30 or $168

company 3: 1/3rd discount, meaning the product after the discount is only 2/3rd of the original price. 2/3rd of $198 is $132, so the final price after the discount is $132

The trail starts at P(−7, 6) and goes to Q(4, 6). It goes from Q to R(4, −6) and then to S(6, −6). What is the total length (in units) of the biking trail?

Answers

We know, distance between two points A( p,q) and B(r,s) is given by :

[tex]AB=\sqrt{(p-r)^2+(q-s)^2}[/tex]

So, distance between P an Q is :

[tex]PQ=\sqrt{(-7-4)^2+(6-6)^2}\\\\PQ=11\ units[/tex]

Distance between Q and R is :

[tex]QR=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(6-(-6))^2}\\\\QR=12\ units[/tex]

Distance between R and S is :

[tex]RS=\sqrt{(4-6)^2+(-6-(-6))^2}\\\\RS=\sqrt{4}\\\\RS = 2\ units[/tex]

Therefore, total distance is 11 + 12 + 2 = 25 units.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

  The domain is always discrete when it is found from a table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A table necessarily lists a finite number of discrete points. The domain, as found from a table, is always discrete.

__

If the table is said to be a representation of a continuous function, then the domain of that continuous function will be continuous.

Your question seems to have to do with a table alone, not a table and an equation, or a table and a graph. A table (of points) alone cannot express a continuous domain.

__

Additional comments

One can conceive of tables that would have continuous domains, as, for example, a table with entries ...

  (x, y) = (0 ≤ x < 3, 3x+2), (3 ≤ x < 6, 4x-1), ...

Such a table is not a list of points, but is a piecewise function definition. We presume this is not what you're concerned with.

What is the solution to this system of linear equations?

x + y = 4

x − y = 6

Answers

Answer:

x=5 , y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that one of the y's is negative while the other is positive, so you can add them together.

Now, negative 1 + positive 1 = 0, so the y's cancel out leaving only the x's.

Remember you can't add one part without adding the other so x+x = 2x, and 4+6=10. This makes the final equation 2x=10.

You can simplify that into x=5. This gives you the answer for x

Then substitute x=5 into any of the two equations (doesn't matter) I'll use the first one. So if you substitute it you get 5+y=4.

Simplified, y= -1

Therefore, x= 5 and y=-1

Answer:

The maintenance electrician takes 287.555555566667 hours to to rewire all the motors

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate all of the minutes for all the numbers.

It takes you 26.6666667 minutes to rewire 2/3 of a motor.

It takes you 160 minutes to rewire 4 motors.

It takes you 266.666667 to rewire 6 2/3 motors

Tantasic charges a reservation fee of 20$ and $1 per minute in a tanning bed. Bettersun charges no reservation fee but charges 2$ per minute. How many minutes will the price be the same

Answers

Answer:

The indifference point is 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Tantasic:

Reservation fee of 20$ and $1 per minute

Bettersun:

2$ per minute.

First, we need to structure both total cost formulas:

Tantasic= 20 + 1x

Bettersun= 2x

x= number of minutes

Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:

20 + 1x = 2x

20 = 1x

20= x

The indifference point is 20 minutes
