2.2.PS-16

Challenge Schools A and B are competing in an academic contest. Correct answers earn 9 points.

Incorrect answers lose 2 points. In the final round, School A gives the same number of correct and

incorrect answers. School B gives no incorrect answers and the same number of correct answers as

School A. School A started the final round with 62 points. School B started with 24. The game ends

with the two schools tied. Let x represent the number of correct answers given by School A in the final

round. Write an equation that models the outcome of the contest. Then find the number of answers

that each school got correct in the final round.

Which equation models the scoring in the final round and the outcome of the contest?

OA. 9x + 2x - 62 = - 9x + 24

OB. 2x-9x + 62 = 9x + 24

OC. 9x - 2x - 62 = 9x + 24

OD. 9x - 2x + 62 = 9x + 24

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9x - 2x + 62 = 9x + 24

Number of correct answer each obtained = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of correct answers = x

POINTS for correct answers = 9

POINTS for incorrect answers = - 2

SCHOOL A:

Number of correct answers = x

Number of incorrect answers = x

Initial point = 62

Initial point + 9(number of correct answers) + - 2(number of incorrect answers)

62 + 9x - 2x

SCHOOL B :

Number of correct answers = x

Number of incorrect answers = 0

Initial point = 24

Initial point + 9(number of correct answers) + - 2(number of incorrect answers

24 + 9x

Since they end up tied :

School A = School B

62 + 9x - 2x = 24 + 9x

9x - 2x + 62 = 9x + 24

Number of correct answers gotten :

9x - 2x + 62 = 9x + 24

7x + 62 = 9x + 24

7x - 9x = 24 - 62

-2x = - 38

x = 19

Hence, Number of correct answers each obtained = 19

Answers

Answer:

hey hows ur day

Step-by-step explanation:

mins good

Answer:

Ok, so slope is basically the steepness of the line, and intercept is when it crosses the x or y axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the slope, find two points on the line, then use this equation to find the slope: [tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex], where x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the first point on the line, and x2 and y2 are the coordinates of the second point on the line. y2 - y1 is called the rise, and x2 - x1 is called the run. Then, to find the intercept (commonly the y-intercept), you must find the point at which the line crosses the axis. This is the easiest part because you just need to find a point on the axis. When you need to find the y-intercept, look for where the line crosses the x-axis, and when you need to find the x-intercept, look for where the line crosses the y-axis.

Suppose that 2 were subtracted from each of the values in a data set that
originally had a standard deviation of 7.5. What would be the standard
deviation of the resulting data?
A. 2
B. 7.5
C. 9.5
O D. 5.5

Answers

Answer:

Option B. 7.5 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us define standard deviation first.

Standard deviation is the square root of variance. Standard Deviation tells us that how far are the values in a data set from the mean.

Now, if a constant is subtracted from all values of a dataset, the standard deviation remains the same. Only the origin or mean of the data changes by subtracting a constant from whole data set.

Given that the standard deviation of dataset is 7.5

Subtracting 2 from each value of dataset will not change the standard deviation as 2 is a constant.

Hence,

Option B. 7.5 is the correct answer

Answer:

7.5 it stays the same

Would the correlation coefficient be an appropriate way to summarize the relationship between artist (x) and sale price (y)? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A list of 25 recently sold paintings in an auction house is available, and eight artists were represented in the sales.

The objective is to determine if the correlation coefficient would be an appropriate way to summarize the relationship between the artist (x) and sale price (y).

From the information given;

NO, The correlation coefficient would not be an appropriate way to summarize the relationship between artist (x) and sale price (y).

The reason is being that since variable (x) is the artist and which is regarded as the categorical variable even though it is attributed to numerical values, it cannot and will not be used in quantitative studies like correlation.

The total number of students enrolled at Twin Rivers Middle School is 2,000
students. If the ratio of boys to girls is also 3 to 2 for the school, how many students
are boys and how many students are girls at Twin Rivers Middle school?

Answers

Answer:

1200 boys and 800 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

since the ratio is 3:2 i just added the ratio to get 5 then divided that by how many total students there were giving me 400, then multiplied it by 3 for the boys and by 2 for the girls. giving me 1200 and 800

(sorry if this is confusing)

Add the ratios together: 3 + 2 = 5

Divide total students by 5:

2000 / 5 = 400

Multiply each ratio by 400:

Boys = 400 x 3 = 1200

Girls = 400 x 2 = 800

Given that,

Bernadette bought six more fish for her tank,

Suppose, Bernadette has x number of fish already

the expression for the total number of fees can be written as,

Total number of fees  = Number of fees he has already + 6

                                    = x + 6

⇒ y = x + 6

Hence, the given condition can be expressed as  y = x + 6

On a photograph an ant is enlarged at a scale 25:1. In the photo, the ant's leg is 15 cm. What is the actual length of the ant's leg?

Answers

Answer:

3/5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x(25)=15

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

25x=15

Step 2: Divide both sides by 25.

25x /25 = 15/25

x = 3/5

Actual length of ant's leg is 0.6cm

Let the actual length of ant's leg = a

Scale = 25 : 1

Length in photo = 15 cm

Express as a an equation :

25 × actual length = 1 × length in photo

25a = 15

a = 15 / 25

a = 0.6

Hence, actual length of ant's leg is 0.6cm

A ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. Given the formula below wheret,
represents time in seconds and s(t), the height of the ball, when will the ball hit the ground?
s(t) = -16t? + 960

Show full work

Answers

Answer: The ball will hit the ground 6 seconds after it has ben thrown, at t = 6s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the height of the ball should be:

s(t) = (-16ft/s^2)*t^2 + 96ft/s*t

When s(t) = 0ft, means that the ball is in the ground

This represents the height of the ball as a function of t, the time in seconds.

We can see that at t = 0s:

s(0s) = (-16ft/s^2)*(0s)^2 + 96ft/s*(0s) = 0ft

Then at the time 0 seconds, the ball is in the ground, so we must look at the other root of the equation

(-16ft/s^2)*t^2 + 96ft/s*t = 0ft

To find it, we can use the Bhaskara equation, in this case is:

[tex]t = \frac{-96ft/s +- \sqrt{(96ft/s)^2 - 4*(-16ft/s^2)*0} }{-2*16ft/s^2} = \frac{-96ft/s^2 +-96ft/s^2}{-32ft/s^2}[/tex]

Then we have the two solutions:

t = (-96ft/s + 96ft/s)/(-32 ft/s^2) = 0s  (the one that we already found)

And the other one is:

t = (-96ft/s - 96ft/s)/(-32ft/s^2) = 6s

Then:

s(6s) = 0ft

This means that the ball will hit the ground at t = 6 seconds.

The time required to hit the ground is required.

The time taken by the ball to reach the ground is 2.45 seconds.

The equation is

[tex]s(t)=-16t^2+96[/tex]

At the ground [tex]t=0[/tex]

so,

[tex]0=-16t^2+96\\\Rightarrow 16t^2=96\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{96}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.45\ \text{s}[/tex]

The time taken by the ball to reach the ground is 2.45 seconds.
