Among the surveyed students, 50% are boys and 50% are girls. Out of the boys, 30% plan to attend the school play. Therefore, the probability that a student surveyed plans to attend the school play given that the student is a boy is 60%. Option C.

To determine the probability that a student surveyed plans to attend the school play given that the student is a boy, we need to examine the data provided in the table.

From the table, we can see that the probability of a student attending the school play is 70% in total, and the probability of not attending is 30% in total.

Out of the total surveyed students, 50% are boys and 50% are girls. Among the boys, 30% plan to attend the school play, while 20% do not plan to attend.

To calculate the probability that a student plans to attend the school play given that the student is a boy, we divide the number of boys attending the school play by the total number of boys:

Probability = (Boys attending) / (Total boys)

Probability = 30% / 50%

Probability = 0.6 or 60%

Therefore, the probability that a student surveyed plans to attend the school play given that the student is a boy is 60%. Option C is correct.

Based on the line of best fit in the provided image, it appears that for y = 14, the estimated x-value is approximately 6.

By examining the line of best fit, we can estimate the x-value corresponding to y = 14. In the image provided, the line of best fit appears to be a straight line passing through several data points. Let's assume this line can be approximated by the equation y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

To find the x-value when y = 14, we can substitute y = 14 into the equation and solve for x. However, since we don't have the equation explicitly, we will have to estimate the x-value based on the visual representation of the line of best fit.

Looking at the image, we can observe that the line of best fit intersects the y = 14 mark at approximately x ≈ 6. This is an estimation based on the position of the line relative to the given point.

Please note that this estimation is subject to the accuracy of the plotted points and the line of best fit in the image. For a more precise answer, the actual equation of the line of best fit or additional data would be required.

The limit of the given expression is -3/4.

To find the limit of the given expression, we can apply the properties of limits and the limit theorem.

Let's break down the expression step by step:

We have the expression [tex](-6x^3 + 7x + 7) / (8x^3 - 8x + 5).[/tex]

First, we notice that both the numerator and denominator are polynomials, and the degree of the denominator is greater than the degree of the numerator.

In such cases, we can use the fact that as x approaches either positive or negative infinity, the highest power term dominates the expression. Therefore, we can simplify the expression by dividing every term by[tex]x^3:(-6x^3/x^3 + 7x/x^3 + 7/x^3) / (8x^3/x^3 - 8x/x^3 + 5/x^3).[/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex](-6 + 7/x^2 + 7/x^3) / (8 - 8/x^2 + 5/x^3).[/tex]

Now, we can take the limit as x approaches infinity.

As x becomes infinitely large, the terms with x in the denominator tend to zero:

((-6 + 0 + 0) / (8 - 0 + 0)).

Thus, the limit of the given expression as x approaches infinity is:

Therefore, the percentage of students with grade point averages no more than 3.36 is approximately 95%.

To determine the percentage of students with grade point averages no more than 3.36 using the empirical rule, we need to calculate the z-score for 3.36 based on the given mean and standard deviation.

The z-score is calculated using the formula:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the value of interest, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

In this case, we have:

x = 3.36

μ = 2.52

σ = 0.42

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

z = (3.36 - 2.52) / 0.42

z = 2

The empirical rule tells us that approximately 95% of the data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Since a z-score of 2 falls within this range, we can conclude that approximately 95% of the students have grade point averages no more than 3.36.

Answer:

(B)  m∠BCD = 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an arc is equal to the measure of its corresponding central angle. The corresponding central angle of arc AB is angle ACB.

Therefore, if the measure of arc AB is 72°, then m∠ACB = 72°.

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°.

Assuming that AD is a straight line, then:

m∠BCD + m∠ACB = 180°

m∠BCD + 72° = 180°

m∠BCD + 72° - 72° = 180° - 72°

m∠BCD = 108°

Therefore, the measure of angle BCD is 108°.

| Has a cat     | 2         | 3                   |

| Does not have a cat | 12        | 10                  |

To find the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class has a cat, we need to find the total number of students who have a cat (regardless of whether or not they have a dog), and divide it by the total number of students in the class.

The number of students who have a cat is 2 (those who have a dog and a cat) + 3 (those who have a cat but do not have a dog) = 5.

The total number of students in the class is the sum of all four categories: 2 (has a cat and a dog) + 3 (has a cat, does not have a dog) + 12 (does not have a cat, has a dog) + 10 (does not have a cat, does not have a dog) = 27.

Find the derivative of the following function, then evaluate the function at a point.

[tex]r=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5-\theta} } ; \ r'(1)=??[/tex]

[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

Taking the derivative of the function, r. Start by applying exponent rules.

[tex]r=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5-\theta} }\\\\\\\Longrightarrow r=\dfrac{1}{(5-\theta)^{1/2}}\\\\\\\Longrightarrow r=(5-\theta)^{-1/2}[/tex]

Now we can derive the function. Using the chain rule and power rule:

[tex]\boxed{\left\begin{array}{ccc}\text{\underline{The Chain Rule:}}\\\\\dfrac{d}{dx}\Big[f(g(x))\Big]=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x) \end{array}\right}[/tex]

[tex]r=(5-\theta)^{-1/2}\\\\\\\Longrightarrow r'=-\dfrac{1}{2} (5-\theta)^{-1/2-1} \cdot -1\\\\\\\therefore \boxed{\boxed{r'=\dfrac{1}{2} (5-\theta)^{-3/2}}}[/tex]

Thus, the derivative of the function is found.[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

Now evaluating the function when θ=1.

[tex]r'=\dfrac{1}{2} (5-\theta)^{-3/2}\\\\\\\Longrightarrow r'(1)=\dfrac{1}{2} (5-1)^{-3/2}\\\\\\\Longrightarrow r'(1)=\dfrac{1}{2} (4)^{-3/2}\\\\\\\Longrightarrow r'(1)=\dfrac{1}{2}\Big(\dfrac{1}{8} \Big)\\\\\\\therefore \boxed{\boxed{r'(1)=\frac{1}{16} }}[/tex]

Answer:

To the nearest tenth, we have,

z = 19.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing side is the hypotenuse,

And we are given the side adjacent to the angle,

z = hupotenuse = H = ?

Adjacent = A = 15

Angle = α = 41

Since we have to find hypotenuse and we are given adjacent,

Using SOHCAHTOA,

We know the angle and adjcent but need to find Hypotenuse,

So, we use CAH

or,

cos(α) = A/H

cos(α) = 15/z

(since z = hypotenuse)

zcos(α) = A

z = A/(cos(α))

z = 15/cos(41)

z = 19.8752

To the nearest tenth, we get,

z = 19.9

The apparent midpoint of AB is (3, 3) (option b).

To find the apparent midpoint of AB, we need to determine the coordinates that represent the midpoint of the line segment AB.

The given triangle ABC is placed on a grid. Since the coordinates are not provided for points A and B, we cannot directly calculate the midpoint using their coordinates. Therefore, we'll have to rely on the visual representation provided.

Looking at the grid, we can see that the line segment AB is a diagonal of the square formed by the grid lines. The square has sides of length 3 units, as it extends from (1, 1) to (4, 4).

The midpoint of a line segment is the point that divides the segment into two equal parts. Since the square has sides of length 3, the midpoint of AB should be at the halfway point between (1, 1) and (4, 4).

To calculate the coordinates of the midpoint, we take the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is (1 + 4) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5.

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is (1 + 4) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5.

Therefore, the apparent midpoint of AB is (2.5, 2.5).

However, none of the given options match the calculated midpoint. It's possible that there is an error or discrepancy in the given options. Based on the calculations, the correct apparent midpoint of AB should be (2.5, 2.5). Thus, the correct option is a.

The solution to the equation log2(3x - 7) = 3 is x = 5.

To find the solution of the equation log2(3x - 7) = 3, we can use logarithmic properties to rewrite the equation in exponential form. The logarithmic equation states that log(base 2) of (3x - 7) equals 3. In exponential form, this can be expressed as:

2^3 = 3x - 7

Simplifying the left side of the equation, we have:

8 = 3x - 7

To isolate the variable term, we add 7 to both sides of the equation:

8 + 7 = 3x

15 = 3x

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:

15/3 = x

5 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation log2(3x - 7) = 3 is x = 5. By substituting x = 5 back into the original logarithmic equation, we can verify the solution:

log2(3(5) - 7) = 3

log2(15 - 7) = 3

Let's start by simplifying both sides of the equation:

2(x - 6) + 25 = 49 - 2x

Expanding the parentheses:

2x - 12 + 25 = 49 - 2x

Combining like terms:

2x + 13 = 49 - 2x

Now, let's isolate the variable x by moving the terms involving x to one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 2x to both sides:

2x + 2x + 13 = 49 - 2x + 2x

Simplifying:

4x + 13 = 49

Next, we'll get rid of the constant term on the left side by subtracting 13 from both sides:

4x + 13 - 13 = 49 - 13

Simplifying:

4x = 36

To solve for x, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 4:

To determine the type of correlation between two variables on a graph, we can examine the pattern or relationship exhibited by the data points.

If the data points on the graph form a roughly linear pattern with a positive slope, it indicates a positive correlation. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase.

Conversely, if the data points on the graph form a roughly linear pattern with a negative slope, it indicates a negative correlation. In this case, as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease.

Additionally, the strength of the correlation can be assessed by how closely the data points align with the overall trendline. If the points are tightly clustered around the trendline, it suggests a strong correlation, while scattered points indicate a weaker correlation.

By visually inspecting the graph and observing the direction and pattern of the data points in relation to the trendline, we can determine the type of correlation exhibited by the variables.

A median is a line segment connecting a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

The term that describes a line segment connecting a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side is the "median." In triangle geometry, a median is a line segment that joins a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

To understand the concept of a median, let's consider a triangle ABC. The midpoint of side BC is denoted as M, and vertex A is connected to M by a line segment. This line segment AM is referred to as the median from vertex A.

Medians have some interesting properties and play a significant role in triangle geometry. Here are a few key characteristics of medians:

1. Medians Divide the Triangle into Two Equal Areas:

Each median of a triangle divides the triangle into two regions with equal areas. The point where all three medians intersect is called the centroid, which is also the center of mass of the triangle.

2. Medians are Concurrent:

The three medians of a triangle are always concurrent, meaning they intersect at a single point called the centroid. This centroid divides each median in a 2:1 ratio, with the longer segment adjacent to the vertex.

3. Medians Divide the Triangle into Six Congruent Triangles:

The medians of a triangle divide the triangle into six smaller congruent triangles. Each of these triangles shares a common vertex with the original triangle.

4. Medians Determine the Centroid:

The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the three medians. It is the balance point of the triangle, where the triangle would perfectly balance on a needle.

In summary, a median is a line segment connecting a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. Medians have unique properties, including dividing the triangle into equal areas, being concurrent at the centroid, dividing the triangle into congruent triangles, and determining the balance point of the triangle.

Potential problems with increasing the minimum wage include job loss, increased cost of living, business closures, regional disparities, and potential skill depreciation. It is important to carefully consider the potential consequences and assess the trade-offs before implementing any changes to the minimum wage.

1. Job Loss: Increasing the minimum wage can lead to job losses, especially for low-skilled workers. Employers may not be able to afford paying higher wages and may choose to reduce their workforce or automate certain tasks. This could result in unemployment and make it harder for individuals to find jobs.
2. Cost of Living: While increasing the minimum wage may help some workers, it could also lead to higher costs of goods and services. Employers may pass on the increased labor costs to consumers, which could result in inflation. This could offset the benefits of higher wages as the cost of living increases.
3. Business Closures: Small businesses, in particular, may struggle to absorb the increased labor costs associated with a higher minimum wage. This could result in business closures, leading to job losses and potentially reducing job opportunities for individuals.
4. Regional Disparities: A nationwide increase in the minimum wage may not account for regional differences in living costs. While a higher minimum wage may be reasonable in some areas with high costs of living, it may be excessive in other regions. This could lead to unintended consequences, such as businesses relocating to areas with lower labor costs.
5. Skill Depreciation: If the minimum wage is increased significantly, there is a risk that it may discourage individuals from pursuing higher education or acquiring additional skills. Some individuals may find it more economically viable to rely on minimum wage jobs rather than investing time and money into further education or training.
