Answer:
[tex]x = 3.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. The formula is [tex]lw = a[/tex].
We already know the length, 5, and the area, 18, so we can plug it into the equation.
[tex]5\cdot w=18[/tex]
We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 5.
[tex]5\cdot w \div5 = 18\div5\\\\w = 3.6[/tex]

Answer:
The fraction that represents the heart in the diagram shown is 7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we have to find the fraction expressed by the number line in the diagram shown.
First off, we know that the fraction will be between 2 and 3. Second, we know that each little dash between 2 and 3 represents 1/6.So, let's use this information to find the fraction.
Since the heart is two dashes away from 2, then this part of the fraction is 2/6 which can also be simplified to 1/3.
2 1/3
Since we can not have a mixed fraction, then we are going to turn this mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying 2 with the denominator (which is 3) and adding the numerator (which is 1) to that product. Our denominator will stay the same in the final fraction.
2 1/3 = 7/3
So, the fraction represented by the heart is 7/3
Answer:
16/7
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 7 divisions between the numbers 2 and 3
So the denominator is 7
The heart is at the second mark
We are past the 2 mark so it is
2 2/7
Changing this from a mixed number to an improper fraction
(7*2+2) /7
16/7

Can you wiggle your ears? Use the students in your statistics class (or a group of friends) to estimate the percentage of people who can wiggle their ears. How can your result be thought of as an estimate for the probability that a person chosen at random can wiggle his or her ears? Comment: National statistics indicate that about 13% of Americans can wiggle their ears (Source: Bernice Kanner, Are You Normal?, St. Martin's Press, New York). The resulting relative frequency can be used as an estimate of the true probability of all Americans who can wiggle their ears. The resulting relative frequency can be used as an estimate of the true probability of all Americans who cannot wiggle their ears. The resulting relative frequency is the true probability of all Americans who can wiggle their ears. The resulting relative frequency cannot be used as an estimate of the true probability of all Americans who can wiggle their ears.

In the diagram, ∆ABC and ∆DBE are similar. What is the scale factor of the dilation that will map the preimage ΔABC onto the image ΔDBE? A. 1.33 B. 0.75 C. 0.66 D. 0.55
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, image to preimage, that is
scale factor = [tex]\frac{DE}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12.09}{16.12}[/tex] = 0.75 → B
The scale factor of the dilation will be 1.33. Then the correct option is A.
What is dilation?Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.
There is no effect of dilation on the angle.
In the diagram, ∆ABC and ∆DBE are similar.
Then the scale factor of the dilation that will map the preimage ΔABC onto the image ΔDBE will be
⇒ 16.12 / 12.09
⇒ 1.33
Then the correct option is A.

Vu is three times as old as Wu. In 25 years Wu will be twice as old as Vu. How old is Vu now?
Answer: Vu is 15 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let present age of WU be x.
Then, the present age of Vu = 3x
Also, After 25 years
Age of Wu = x+25
According to the question:
[tex](x+25)=2(3x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+25=6x\\\\\Rightarrow\5x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=5[/tex]
Present age of Vu = 3(5) = 15
Hence, Vu is 15 years old now.

* The American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the
United States have diabetes. Suppose that a medical lab has developed
a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who
have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it. The
medical lab gives the test to a randomly selected person. What is the
probability that the diagnosis is correct? Explain each step.
Answer:
The probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the United States have diabetes.
Suppose that a medical lab has developed a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it.
Let the probability that people in the United States have diabetes = P(D) = 0.083.
So, the probability that people in the United States do not have diabetes = P(D') = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.083 = 0.917
Also, let A = event that the diagnostic test is accurate
So, the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who have the disease = P(A/D) = 0.98
And the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who do not have the disease = P(A/D') = 0.95
Now, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is given by;
Probability = P(D) [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D) + P(D') [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D')
= (0.083 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.98) + (0.917 [tex]\times[/tex]0.95)
= 0.08134 + 0.87115
= 0.95249
Hence, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

Complete the square: x2+7x+?=(x+?)2
Answer:
x² + 7x + 49/4 = (x + 7/2)²
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + bx + c is a perfect square when c = (b/2)².
b = 7, c = (7/2)² = 49/4.
x² + 7x + 49/4 = (x + 7/2)²
Answer:
x² + 7x + 12.25 = (x+3.5)²
Step-by-step explanation:
(a+b)² = a²+ 2ab + b²
then:
7x = 2ab
7/2 = 3.5
then:
(x+3.5)² = x² + 2*3.5*a + 3.5²
x² + 7x + 12.25 = (x+3.5)²
The graph shows the weight of a jar when filled with different numbers of marbles.
What does the y-intercept represent?
A) The weight of the marbles without the jar.
B) The weight of the jar without the marbles.
C) The weight of one marble and the jar.
D) The unit rate for each marble added.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of the jar depends on the number of marbles in it, therefore the weight is the dependent variable (y) and the number of marbles is the independent variable (x). The y-intercept is when x = 0 and since the number of marbles is x, the answer is that the y-intercept represents the weight of the jar without the marbles.
Jasmine is making 150 bracelets and she needs 26 cm of silver wire for each bracelet. She will buy either the 3.7 metre or the 10.5 metre packs. She wants to pay as little as possible for the silver wire. How much will she have to pay for the silver wire to make 150 bracelets? £
Answer:
The least possible price is p = £110
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of bracelets to be made is [tex]n = 150[/tex]
The length of silver require for on bracelet is [tex]x = 26 \ cm = 0.26 \ m[/tex]
The option of silver length packs that she buys is a = 10.5 m packs
b = 3.7 m packs
Generally
1 bracelet [tex]\to[/tex] 0.26 m
150 bracelet [tex]\to[/tex] z
=> [tex]z = \frac{150 * 0.26}{1}[/tex]
=> [tex]z = 39 \ m[/tex]
Now for option a i.e 10.5 m per pack
The number of packs require is
[tex]v = \frac{z}{a}[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \frac{39}{ 10.5}[/tex]
=> [tex]v = 3.7 1[/tex]
given that the number of packs cannot be a fraction but an integer hence she needs to purchase v = 4
and that 4 packs would equal t = 4 * 10.5 = 42 meters of silver
Now for option d i.e 3.7 meters per pack
The number of packs requires is
[tex]w = \frac{z}{b}[/tex]
=> [tex]w = \frac{39}{3.7}[/tex]
=> [tex]w = 10.54[/tex]
given that the number of packs cannot be a fraction but an integer hence she needs to purchase w= 11
and that 11 packs would equal t = 11 * 3.7 = 40.7 meters of silver
So the comparing the option and option b we see that for her to pay as little as possible she needs to go for option b since option be will produce the 150 bracelet with a little excess while option a will produce the 150 bracelet with much excess
Assuming the price for the 3.7 m pack is £10
And the price for the 10.7 pack is £30
The least possible amount she would pay is
[tex]p = 10 * 11[/tex]
p = £110

A controversial bill is being debated in the state legislature. Representative Williams wants to estimate within 2 percentage points and with 95% confidence the difference in the proportion of her male and female constituents who favor the bill. What sample size should she obtain?
Answer:
The sample size is [tex]n = 2401[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The margin of error is [tex]E= 2\% = 0.02[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = (100 - 95)\%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]
The critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] obtained from the normal distribution table is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Let assume that the sample proportion is [tex]\r p = 0.5[/tex]
Generally the sample size is evaluated as
[tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \r p ( 1- \r p )[/tex]
[tex]n = [\frac{1.96}{0.02} ]^2 * 0.5 ( 1- 0.5 )[/tex]
[tex]n = 2401[/tex]

Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation of ellipse is
[tex]4x^2+9y^2=36[/tex]
Divide both sides by 36.
[tex]\dfrac{4x^2}{36}+\dfrac{9y^2}{36}=1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x^2}{9}+\dfrac{y^2}{4}=1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x^2}{3^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{2^2}=1[/tex] ...(1)
The standard form of an ellipse is
[tex]\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex] ...(2)
where, (h,k) is center, (h±a,k) are vertices and (h±c,k) are foci.
On comparing (1) and (2), we get
[tex]h=0,k=0,a=3,b=2[/tex]
Now,
Center [tex]=(h,k)=(0,0)[/tex]
Vertices [tex]=(h\pm a,k)=(0\pm 3,0)=(3,0),(-3,0)[/tex]
We know that
[tex]c=\sqrt{a^2-b^2}=\sqrt{3^2-2^2}=\sqrt{5}[/tex]
Foci [tex]=(h\pm c,k)=(0\pm \sqrt{5},0)=(\sqrt{5},0),(-\sqrt{5},0)[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is A.

Line segment AB has a length of 4 units. It is translated 1 unit to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment A'B'. What is the length
of A'B'?
1 unit
4 units
5 units
6 units
Answer:
4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
A transformation is the movement of a point from one position to another position. If a shape is transformed all its points are also transformed. Types of transformations are translation, rotation, reflection and dilation.
If a shape is transformed, the length of its sides and shape remains the same, only the position changes.
If Line segment AB has a length of 4 units. It is translated 1 unit to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment A'B, the length of A'B' remains the same which is 4 unit. To prove this:
Let A be at ([tex]x_1,y_1[/tex]) and B be at ([tex]x_2,y_2[/tex]). The length of AB is:
[tex]AB=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]
If AB is translated to the right by 1 unit the new points are A' at ([tex]x_1+1,y_1[/tex]) and B' at ([tex]x_2+1,y_2[/tex]). The length of A'B' is:
[tex]A'B'=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2+1-(x_1+1))^2}=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2+1-x_1-1)^2}\\\\A'B'=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]

Color Purple Yellow Red Orange Green Blue Brown Percentage 22% 20% 23% 10% 6% 6% 13% Suppose you have a large bag of plain M&M candies and you choose one candy at random. (a) Find P(green candy or blue candy). Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why? Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible. Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible. No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible. No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible. (b) Find P(yellow candy or red candy). Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why? Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible. No. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is not possible. Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is not possible. No. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible. (c) Find P(not purple candy).
Answer:
A) 0.12. Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible
B) 0.43. Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible
C) 0.78
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, the summation of the distribution of all colours is;
Σ(all colors ) = 22% + 20% + 23% + 10% + 6% + 6% + 13% = 100%, or 1.
Thus;
a) P(green candy or blue candy) is;
P(GREEN ∪ BLUE) = P(G) + P(BL)
P(GREEN ∪ BLUE) = 6%+6%
P(GREEN ∪ BLUE) = 12% or 0.12
Now, due to the fact that we have to choose ONE candy and only ONE candy at random, then they are mutually exclusive: Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible
b)P(yellow candy or red candy is;
P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = P(Y) + P(R)
P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = 20% + 23% = 43% or 0.43
Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible
c) P(NOT PURPLE)
the probability of having a purple is;
P(PURPLE) = 22% or 0.22
So, the Probability of NOT having a PURPLE is 1 - 0.22 = 0.78
