Answer:
The number of the class containing the largest score can be found in frequency 24 and the class is 98 - 103
For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83
The class width for this histogram 5
The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency is 84
The percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%
Step-by-step explanation:
The objective of this question is to use the following histogram that shows the exam scores for a Pre-algebra class to answer the question given:
NOW;
The table given in the question can be illustrated as follows:
S/N Class Score Frequency
1 68 - 73 70.5 0
2 73 - 78 75.5 4
3 78 - 83 80.5 8
4 83 - 88 85.5 12
5 88 - 93 90.5 16
6 93 - 98 95.5 20
7 98 - 103 100.5 24
TOTAL: 84
a) The number of the class containing the largest score can be found in frequency 24 and the class is 98 - 103
b) For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83 ( since the upper limit is derived by addition of 5 to the last number showing in the highest value specified by the number in the class interval which is 78 ( i.e 78 + 5 = 83))
c) The class width for this histogram 5 ; since it is the difference between the upper and lower boundaries limit of the given class.
So , from above the difference in any of the class will definitely result into 5
d) The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency ; which is (0+4+8+12+16+20+24) = 84
e) Lastly; the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is ;
⇒[tex]\dfrac{20+24}{84} *100[/tex]
= 0.5238095 × 100
= 52.83
To the nearest percentage ;the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%
Answer:
1. 98-103 (6th class)
2. 88
3. 5
4. 84
5. 52%
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the frequency table.
The class of exam scores falls between (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).
The exam score ranged from 68-103
1) The largest number of exam scores = 24
The largest number of exam scores is in the 6th class = 98 -103
Step 2 of 5:
The upper class limit is the higher number in an interval. Third class interval is 83-88
The upper class limit of the third class 88.
Step 3 of 5:
Class width = upper class limit - lower class limit
We can use any of the class interval to find this as the answer will be the same. Using the interval between 73-78
Class width = 78 - 73
Class width for the histogram = 5
Step 4 of 5:
The total of students that took the test = sum of all the frequency
= 0+4+8+12+16+20+24 = 84
The total of students that took the test = 84
Step 5 of 5:Find the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5
Number of student that scored higher than 95.5 = 20 + 24 = 44
Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = [(Number of student that scored higher than 95.5)/(total number of students that took the test)] × 100
= (44/84) × 100 = 0.5238 × 100 = 52.38%
Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = 52% (nearest percent)
In a survey of students, 60% were in high school and 40% were in middle school. Of the high school students, 30% had visited a foreign country. If a surveyed student is selected at random, what is the probability that the student is in high school and has visited a foreign country?
Answer:
The probability that the student is in high school and has visited a foreign country is 0.18.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that in a survey of students, 60% were in high school and 40% were in middle school.
Of the high school students, 30% had visited a foreign country.
Let the Probability that students were in high school = P(H) = 60%
Probability that students were in middle school = P(M) = 40%
Also, let F = event that students had had visited a foreign country
So, Probability that high school students had visited a foreign country = P(F/H) = 30%
Now, probability that the student is in high school and has visited a foreign country is given by = Probability that students were in high school [tex]\times[/tex] Probability that high school students had visited a foreign country
= P(H) [tex]\times[/tex] P(F/H)
= 0.60 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.30
= 0.18 or 18%

Please help. I’ll mark you as brainliest if correct!
Answer:
When x = -1/4 and when x = -15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The x intercept will be when f(x)=0, so
0 = 4|x+2| -7
7 = 4|x+2|
|x+2|=7/4 here you have to cases
case 1
x+2=7/4
x=7/4-2
x=-1/4 = -0.25
case 2
x+2 = -7/4
x = -2-7/4
x = -15/4 = -3.75
An individual closes out help desk tickets at a rate of 4 tickets per hour for h hours. Write an equation that expresses the situation, let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable
Answer:
y=4x
Step-by-step explanation:
an independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment or observation to test the effects on the dependent variable
a dependent variable is variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment
in this case, the number of help desk tickets closed out is dependent on the number of hours the individual works so y is the number of tickets closed (dependent variable). The number of tickets closed of will be 4 multiplied by the number of hours worked i.e. y=4x

Consider the following set of sample data.
18 26 30 42 50 52 52 76 78 84
For the given data, the mean is_______, the median is________, and the mode is_______.
Suppose the value 76 in the data is mistakenly recorded as 55 instead of 76. For the sample with this error, the mean is_________, the median is______, and the mode is_______. The mean_____, the median_______, and the mode______. Suppose the value 76 in the original sample is inadvertently removed from the sample. For the sample with this value removed, the mean is_______, the median is_______, and the mode is________. The mean_________, the median_______, and the mode________.
Answer:
For the given data, the mean is 50.8, the median is 51, and the mode is 52.
For the sample with this error, the mean is 48.7, the median is 51, and the mode is 52.
For the sample with this value removed, the mean is 43.2, the median is 50, and the mode is 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following set of sample data below;
18, 26, 30, 42, 50, 52, 52, 76, 78, 84.
The formula for calculating mean is given by;
Mean = [tex]\frac{\text{Sum of all data values}}{\text{Total number of observations}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{18+ 26+ 30+ 42+ 50+ 52+ 52+ 76+ 78+ 84}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{508}{10}[/tex] = 50.8
For calculating median, we have to observe that the number of observations (n) in our data is even or odd, i.e;
If n is odd, then the formula for calculating median is given by;Median = [tex](\frac{n+1}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex]
If n is even, then the formula for calculating median is given by;Median = [tex]\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th}\text{ obs.} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th}\text{ obs.} }{2}[/tex]
Now, here in our data the number of observations is even, i.e. n = 10.
So, Median = [tex]\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th}\text{ obs.} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th}\text{ obs.} }{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{(\frac{10}{2})^{th}\text{ obs.} +(\frac{10}{2}+1)^{th}\text{ obs.} }{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5^{th}\text{ obs.} +6^{th}\text{ obs.} }{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{50+52 }{2}[/tex] = 51
A Mode is a value that appears the maximum number of times in our data.
In our data, the value 52 is appera]ing maximum number of times, i.e. 2 times which means that mode of our data is 52.
Now, suppose the value 76 in the data is mistakenly recorded as 55 instead of 76. For the sample with this error,
Mean will be changed as value has been changed.New Mean = [tex]\frac{18+ 26+ 30+ 42+ 50+ 52+ 52+ 55+ 78+ 84}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{487}{10}[/tex] = 48.7
There will be no change in median because there is no change in the 5th and 6th observation of the data.Also, there will be no change in mode as stiil 52 appears maximum number of times in our data.Now, suppose the value 76 in the original sample is inadvertently removed from the sample. For the sample with this value removed,
Mean will be changed as value has been removed from data.New Mean = [tex]\frac{18+ 26+ 30+ 42+ 50+ 52+ 52+ 78+ 84}{9}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{432}{10}[/tex] = 43.2
Median will also get changed because the number of observation is now odd, i.e. n = 9So, Median = [tex](\frac{n+1}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{9+1}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex]
= [tex]5^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex] = 50
Also, there will be no change in mode as stiil 52 appears maximum number of times in our data.four apples and one banana cost £1.40 seven apples and one banana cost £2.00 work out the cost of an apple and the cost of a banana .
Answer:
apple: £0.20banana: £0.60Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...
4a +b = 1.40
7a +b = 2.00
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...
(7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)
3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify
a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3
Using this in the first equation, we have ...
4(0.20) +b = 1.40
b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80
The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.

Can someone help me with this worksheet? Will give all my points.
Answer:
Here are the formulas
Cube/Rectangular Prism:
Volume = Length*width*height
Surface area = 2(wl+hl+hw)
Lateral area= Area of vertical faces
Base area = length*width
Regular hexagonal prism:
Volume : (3sqrt3/2)*a^2*h
Surface Area = 6ah+3sqrt(3)a^2
lateral area: 6ah
base area = 3sqrt(3)s^2/2
Triangular prism
Volume: The volume of a triangular prism can be found by multiplying the base times the height.
Surface area: A triangular prism has three rectangular sides and two triangular faces. To find the area of the rectangular sides, use the formula A = lw, where A = area, l = length, and h = height. To find the area of the triangular faces, use the formula A = 1/2bh, where A = area, b = base, and h = height.
Etc.

Griffin’s General Store is having a 30% off sale on fans. Robert paid $25 for a fan. What is the original price of the fan?
Answer:
The original price of the fan is $35.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Griffin’s General Store is having a 30% off sale on fans, it simply means that fans are paying for (100%-30%)= 70%.
Let the original price be x;
Therefore, 70% of x equal to $25;
[tex]\frac{70}{100}x=25[/tex]
70/100x = 25
0.7x = 25
[tex]x = \frac{25}{0.7}[/tex]
x = 35. 71
Hence, The original price of the fan is $35.71
Answer:
$35.71
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement indicates that Robert paid $25 for a fan and that it had a 30% discount. To be able to determine the original price, you have to divide the the price with the discount by the result of 1 minus the discount.
Original price= 25/(1-0.3)
Original price= 25/0.7
Original price= 35.71
According to this, the answer is that the original price of the fan is $35.71.
what is 2043.666666 rounded to 2 decimal places
Answer:
[tex]2043.67[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hundredths is at 2 decimal places.
The thousandths place is higher than 5, so add 1 to the hundredths place.
Answer:
2043.67
Step-by-step explanation:
If you’ve ever rounded a number, you would know that if it’s 5 or higher, round it up, and if it’s 4 or lower, round it down. In this case, the second decimal place reads ’6’ which is higher that 5, so we round up. The rest of the numbers stay the same

There is a bag with only milk and dark chocolates.
The probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate is
2/9.
There are 24 dark chocolates in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen.
Work out how many milk chocolates there must be.
Answer:
80 milk chocolates
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of choosing a dark chocolate= number of dark
chocolate/number of total
chocolate
But the probability of choosing dark chocolate= 2/9
The number of dark chocolate= 24
Total chocolate= number of dark
chocolate/probability
of choosing dark
chocolate
Total chocolate= 24/(2/9)
Total chocolate=( 24*9)/2
Total chocolate= 108
Number of milk chocolate= total- dark
Number of milk chocolate
= 108-28
= 80

Is (-3,2) a solution of 7x+9y>-3
Yes or no
Please help :))
Answer:
(-3,2) is not a solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution of a linear inequality in two variables like [tex]Ax + By > C[/tex] is an ordered pair [tex](x, y)[/tex] that produces a true statement when the values of x and y are substituted into the inequality.
To find if (-3,2) is a solution of [tex]7x+9y>-3[/tex], you must substitute this point into the inequality.
[tex]7\left(-3\right)+9\left(2\right)>-3\\\\-21+18>-3\\\\-3>-3[/tex]
Because -3 is not greater than -3, (-3,2) is not a solution.

What is the domain of the function f (x) = StartFraction x + 1 Over x squared minus 6 x + 8 EndFraction?
Answer: (-∞, 2)∪(2, 3]∪(4, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain is the allowed x values in the function. The numerator, x + 1 will be defined for all numbers. But that fraction wont be, the minute that fractions denominator is equal to zero, your entire function becomes undefined.
So lets figure out what number will make this undefined. Then we'll know the functions domain is everywhere but that x value.
Make x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0
What two numbers multiply to equal +8 but add to equal -6? Thats -4 and -2.
(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0 This means the function is undefined when x equals 4 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:
what is the value of x?
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
52 = y since they are the base angles of an isosceles triangle and the base angles are equal
The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180
52+y+14x+6 =180
Substitute for y
52+52+14x+6 = 180
Combine like terms
110 + 14x = 180
Subtract 110 from each side
110+14x-110 = 180-110
14x =70
Divide by 14
14x/14 = 70/14

Suppose that a random sample of size 36 is to be selected from a population with mean 50 and standard deviation 7. What is the approximate probability that X will be within .5 of the population mean
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that x is normally distributed. The sample size is greater than 30. Since the the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,
z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)
Where
x = sample mean
µ = population mean
σ = standard deviation
n = number of samples
From the information given,
µ = 50
σ = 7
n = 36
If x is within 0.5 of the population mean, it means that x is between (50 - 0.5) and (50 + 0.5)
the probability is expressed as
P(49.5 ≤ x ≤ 50.5)
For x = 49.5
z = (49.5 - 50)/(7/√36) = - 0.43
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.334
For x = 49.5
z = (50.5 - 50)/(7/√36) = 0.43
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.666
Therefore,
P(49.5 ≤ x ≤ 50.5) = 0.666 - 0.334 = 0.332
A Pew Research study of 4726 randomly selected U.S. adults regarding scientific human enhancements, found that approximately 69% of the sample stated that they were worried about brain chip implants being used for improving cognitive abilities.
Required:
a. Show that the necessary conditions (Randomization Condition, 10% Condition, Sample Size Condition) are satisfied to construct a confidence interval. Briefly explain how each condition is satisfied.
b. Find the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. adults that are worried about brain chip implants used for improving cognitive abilities.
(To show your work: Write down what values you are entering into the confidence interval calculator.)
c. Briefly describe the meaning of your interval from part (b).
Answer:
a)Randomization condition: Satisfied, as the subjects were randomly selected.
10% condition: Satisfied, as the sample size is less than 10% of the population (U.S. adults).
Sample size condition: Satisfied, as the product between the smaller proportion and the sample size is bigger than 10.
b) The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.68, 0.70).
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Evaluating the necessary conditions:
Randomization condition: Satisfied, as the subjects were randomly selected.
10% condition: Satisfied, as the sample size is less than 10% of the population (U.S. adults).
Sample size condition: Satisfied, as the product between the smaller proportion and the sample size is bigger than 10.
[tex]n(1-p)=4,726\cdot (1-0.69)=4,726\cdot 0.31=1,465>10[/tex]
b) We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.
The sample proportion is p=0.69.
The standard error of the proportion is:
[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.69*0.31}{4726}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000045}=0.007[/tex]
The critical z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.645.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
[tex]MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.645 \cdot 0.007=0.01[/tex]
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
[tex]LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.69-0.01=0.68\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.69+0.011=0.70[/tex]
The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.68, 0.70).
Which pairs of non-overlapping angles share a ray to make a right angle?
Please Select all that Apply. There are multiple answers. 50 POINTS
∠FGK and ∠FGH Im pretty sure its right
A ray is a half-infinite line. The pairs of non-overlapping angles that share a ray to make a right angle are ∠FGE and ∠FGH.
What is a ray?A half-infinite line (also known as a half-line) with one of the two points and is commonly used to represent a ray. It is assumed to be infinite.
A straight line has an angle of measurement of 180°. And a 90° angle is made when two lines are perpendicular to each other.
As we can see the line EGH is a straight line, and FG is another line that is perpendicular to line EH, therefore, it will form two angles measuring 90°. These angles will be ∠FGE and ∠FGH.
Hence, the pairs of non-overlapping angles that share a ray to make a right angle are ∠FGE and ∠FGH.

5/6 = 10/2x−3
Answer: x= 23/30
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{2}x -3[/tex] reduce 10/2 to 5 because 10/2 is 5.
5/6 = 5x -3
+ 3 +3
23/6 = 5x divide both sides by 5.

if mRS=x then write an equation that could be used to solve for x and find the value of x
Answer:
a) x = 30°
b) mRS = x = 30°
mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°
Question:
The complete question as found on Chegg website:
In the diagram below, secants PT and PU have been drawn from exterior point P such that the four arcs
intercepted have the following ratio of measurements:
mRS : mST :MTU : mUR=1:4:4:3
(a) If mRS = x, then write an equation that could be used to solve for x
and find the value of x.
(b) State the measure of each of the four arcs.
mRS =
mST =
MTU
MUR =
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the diagram related to the question
mRS : mST : mTU : mUR = 1:4:4:3
Since mRS = x
Writing the ratios of the measure of angle in terms of mRS:
mST = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x
mTU = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x
mUR= 3× mRS = 3×x = 3x
The sum of measure the 4 measures of arc = 360° (sum of angle in a circle)
mRS + mST + mTU + mUR = 360°
x + 4x + 4x + 3x = 360
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30°
b) The measure of angle
mRS = x = 30°
mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°
A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The large boxes weigh 50 pounds each, and the small boxes weigh 35 pounds each. There are 115 boxes in all. If the truck is carrying a total of 5000 pounds in boxes, how many of each type of box is it carrying?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:
Let x = number of large boxes
y = number of small boxes
"There are 115 boxes in all" means x + y = 115 [eq1]
Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:
(pounds per box)*(number of boxes)
So,
pounds for large boxes + pounds for small boxes = 4125 pounds
"the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes"
(50)*(x) + (25)*(y) = 4125 [eq2]
It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables.
Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2. Let's solve for x:
x = 115 - y [from eq1]
50(115-y) + 25y = 4125 [from eq2]
5750 - 50y + 25y = 4125 [distribute]
5750 - 25y = 4125
-25y = -1625
y = 65 [divide both sides by (-25)]
There are 65 small boxes.
Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:
x = 115 - y
x = 115 - 65
x = 50
There are 50 large boxes.
Check (very important):
Is 50+65 = 115 ? [eq1]
115 = 115 ?yes
Is 50(50) + 25(65) = 4125 ?
2500 + 1625 = 4125 ?
4125 = 4125 ? ye
