On a​ team, 4 girls and 3 boys scored a total of 57 points. The difference between the number of points scored by the 4 girls and the number of points scored by the 3 boys is 15. Each girl scored the same number of points and each boy scored the same number of points. Find the number of points scored by each girl and each boy.

Each girl scored (BLANK) points.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of point scored by the 7 girls and 2 boys be x and y respectively.

Thus, since 7 girls and 2 boys scored a total of 64 points, then;

7x + 2y = 64 - - - (1)

Also, difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and the number of points scored by the 2 boys is 48. Thus;

7x - 2y = 48 - - - (2)

Add eq(1) to (eq 2) to get;

14x = 64 + 48

14x = 112

x = 112/14

x = 8

Put 8 for x in eq(1) to get;

7(8) + 2y = 64

56 + 2y = 64

2y = 64 - 56

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Thus,each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points

The weights for newborn babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 5.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.6 pounds.


Consider a group of 800 newborn babies:


1. How many would you expect to weigh between 3 and 8 pounds?


2. How many would you expect to weigh less than 6 pounds?


3. How many would you expect to weigh more than 5 pounds?


4. How many would you expect to weigh between 5.5 and 9 pounds?

Please help and STEP BY STEP PLZ.

Answers

Compute each probability. The strategy is to transform X, a random variable representing the weight of newborns, to another random variable Z that represents the same but scaled quantity so that Z is normally distributed with mean 0 and s.d. 1. To do this, we use the rule

X = 5.5 + 1.6 Z

or

Z = (X - 5.5)/1.6

then use a calculator to compute the probability, or look it up in a table. Multiply this probability by 800 to find the number of newborns in each category.

1.

Pr[3 ≤ X ≤ 8] = Pr[(3 - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (8 - 5.5)/1.6]

… ≈ Pr[-1.5625 ≤ Z ≤ 1.5625]

… ≈ 0.8818

Out of 800 babies, you would expect around 88% of them, or about 705 babies to weight between 3 and 8 pounds.

2.

Pr[X < 6] = Pr[(X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (6 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[Z ≤ 0.3125]

… ≈ 0.6227

Out of 800 babies, around 498 will weigh less than 6 pounds.

3.

Pr[X > 5] = Pr[(X - 5.5)/1.6 > (5 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[Z > -0.3125]

… ≈ 0.6227

same as (2) due to the symmetry of the distribution (Z is centered at zero). Out of 800 babies, you can expect around 498 in this group.

4.

Pr[5.5 ≤ X ≤ 9] = Pr[(5.5 - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (9 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[0 ≤ Z ≤ 2.1875]

… ≈ 0.4857

Out of 800 babies, around 388 will weigh between 5.5 and 9 pounds.

Answers

Answer:

x= 4/5 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract -6x from both sides.

5x^2 -8 - -6x = -6x -6x

5x^2 + 6x - 8 = 0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(5x - 4) (x + 2) = 0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

5x - 4 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to get the numbers into decimal form

3/4 can be written into 75

So the mittens weighed 2.75

So we subtract 6.5 and 2.75

Which is 3.75

So the mitten gained 3.75 pounds

Hope this helps!

Answer:

3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract to find the difference

2 3/4 is 2.75 as a decimal

6.5 - 2.75 = 3.75

Check the answer

2.75 + 3.75 = 6.5

So u can see Mittens gained 3.75 pounds between the time he was a kitten and his 6-month check up.

Andre draws a tape diagram for 3÷2/3

Answers

Answer:

No I do not agree with Andre says that 3 divided by 2/3 Solving for 3 ÷ 2/3

3 ÷ 2/3

Therefore, 3 divided by 2/3 is 4 1/2

Andre's reasoning is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is incorrect

Let's divide and compare the sum

3 : 2/3 = 3*3/2 = 9/2 = 4 1/2

and

There are four 2/3 fractions and one 1/3 fraction

[tex](x + 2 = \sqrt{3x + 10} [/tex]

Square both sides

[tex](x + 2) {}^{2} = 3x + 10[/tex]

Remeber perfect square Rule

[tex](x + y) {}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 2xy + {y}^{2} [/tex]

So now we got

[tex]x {}^{2} + 4x + 4 = 3x + 10[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} + x + 4 = 10[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} + x - 6 = 0[/tex]

Factor into binomial.

[tex](x + 3)(x - 2) = 0[/tex]

So our solution is 3 or 2. However, let's check our work.

[tex] - 3 + 2 = \sqrt{3( - 3) + 10} [/tex]

[tex] - 1 = \sqrt{1} [/tex]

However square root of 1 is 1. It could be 1 but in Math, We only take the principal square root which is positive always. So -3 isn't a solution.

So let try 2.

[tex]2 + 2 = \sqrt{3(2) + 10} = 4 = \sqrt{16} = 4 = 4[/tex]

So this is indeed the solution.
