Eugene sold half of his comic books and then bought eight more. He now has 32. With how many did he begin?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

48 books

Step-by-step explanation:

32-8 = 24

24= 1/2 of total

24x2=48

Answer=48 books

Check:

48/2=24

24+8=32

YAY!!

Answer 2

Answer:

48 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use x as the amount that he originally had.

If he sold half of them, that would be:

(1/2)x

Then he bought 8 more, so you would add 8 to that total.

(1/2)x + 8

If he now has 32 then we need to set that equation to equal 32.

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

Subtract 8 from each side.

(1/2)x = 24

Then you will divide 24 by 1/2. That is the same thing as multiplying by 2.

So,

x = 48

Check work

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

(1/2)(48) + 8 = 32

Half of 48 is 24.

24 + 8 = 32.

32 = 32.

Melissa is 13 years old. Becky is 12 years old. Daniel is 10 years old. Melissa, Becky and Daniel share £42 in the ratio of their ages. Becky decided to save a third of her share. How much will Becky have to spend?

Answers

Answer: Becky will have to spend £ 9.6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of their ages will be:

Melissa : Becky : Daniel = 13 : 12 : 10

Total amount share = £42

Share of Becky = [tex]\dfrac{12}{12+13+10}\times42[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{12}{35}\times42\\\\= 14.4[/tex]

Hence, Becky's share = £14.4

Becky decided to save a third of her share.

Then, Amount she spend = [tex]14.4-\dfrac13 \times 14.4[/tex]

[tex]=14.4-4.8\\=9.6[/tex]

hence, Becky will have to spend £ 9.6 .

Answers

Answer:

  3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, c represent the probability of a win by Kaden, Keith, and Kipp, respectively.

  P(bc' | a') = P(a'bc')/P(a')

  P(bc' | a') = (1/2)/(1 -1/6) = (3/6)/(5/6) = 3/5

The probability is 3/5 that Keith beats Kipp when Kaden doesn't win.

For a discrete random variable that takes a value of 8 with probability .75 and a value of -4 with probability of .25, what is the expected value and what is the variance

Answers

Answer:

5.20

Step-by-step explanation:

X : ______ 8 ____ - 4

P(X) : ___ 0.75 __ 0.25

The expected mean E(x) :

E(x) = ΣX / n

n = sample size = 2

E(x) = (8*0.75) + (-4*0.25)

E(x) = 6 - 1

E(x) = 5

The standard deviation : sqrt(Var(x))

Var(x) = Σx²p(x) - E(x)²

Var(x) = (8^2 * 0.75) + (-4^2 * 0.25)) - 5^2

Var(x) = ((64 * 0.75) + (16* 0.25)) - 25

Var(x) = (48 + 4) - 25

Var(X) = 27

Standard deviation = sqrt(27)

Standard deviation (x) = 5.1961524

Standard deviation = 5.20

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line in the graph?

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the required line is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Slope of a Line

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The graph shows a line whose slope can be calculated by selecting two points it goes through. Let's pick points (0,0) and (2,-2). Thus the slope is:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-2-0}{2-0}=-1[/tex]

The slope (m') of a line that is perpendicular to the line in the graph can be found by using the equation:

m*m'=-1

Solving for m':

[tex]m'=-\frac{1}{m}=-\frac{1}{-1}=1[/tex]

Thus the slope of the required line is 1

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Consider a set of data in which the sample mean is 73.4 and the sample standard deviation is 4.9. Calculate the z-score given that x  = 69.5.

Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer: the z-score is -0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean μ = 73.4

standard deviation σ = 4.9

x = 69.5

z-score = ?

z = (x - μ) / σ

we substitute

z =  (69.5 - 73.4) / 4.9

z = -3.9 / 4.9

z = - 0.7959 ≈ -0.80    { 2 decimal places }

Therefore, the z-score is -0.80

Even transporting nuclear fuel to and from plants poses a contamination risk. And once the fuel is spent, you can't just throw it in the city dump. It's still radioactive and potentially deadly. On average, a nuclear power plant annually generates 20 metric tons of used nuclear fuel, classified as high-level radioactive waste. When you take into account every nuclear plant on Earth, the combined total climbs to roughly 2,000 metric tons a year [source: NEI].
