The average of 5 quiz grades is 10. When the lowest grade is dropped and the new average is calculated, it turns out to be 11. What was the score of the dropped grade?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The score of the dropped grade is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of a set of numbers you need to add all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. The problem wants you to solve it in reverse. Let put this into an algebraic equation with a, b, c, d, and e being the variables of the test scores

(a+b+c+d+e)/5=10

Then we can multiply both sides by 5 and get

a+b+c+d+e=50

Lets assume that c is the lowest test score. To calculate the average of that we get

a+b+d+e/4=11

Doing the same thing, we know that a+b+d+e=44

Now compare the two:

a+b+c+d+e=50

a+b+d+e=44

We can now know that c=50-44=6

So, 6 is the score of the dropped quiz. Hope that helped!

Mrs. Thompson wants to buy centerpieces to use at a party. It will cost $49 to have the centerpieces delivered plus $0.89 per centerpiece.

Part A
Let c be the number of centerpieces that Mrs. Thompson purchases. Choose the expression that shows the amount of money she will pay altogether for each centerpiece.
49c + 0.89
0.89 + c + 49
c(0.89 + 49)
49 + 0.89c
Part B
Evaluate the expression to find out how much Mrs. Thompson will pay if she orders 400 centerpieces.
Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

a. 49 + 0.89c

b. $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Delivery = $49

Cost per Centrepiece = $0.89

Solving (a): Expression that represents the equation.

From the question, we have that the number of centrepiece is represented by c

The expression can be gotten by the following formula.

Cost of Delivery + Cost per centrepiece * Number of centrepieces

This gives

49 + 0.89 * c

49 + 0.89c

Hence, the expression that represents the scenario is 49 + 0.89c

Solving (b): Payment for 400 centrepieces

To solve this, we simply substitute 400 for c in the expression in (a)

This gives:

Payment = 49 + 0.89 * 400

Payment = 49 + 356

Payment = 405

Hence, Mrs. Thompson will pay $405 for 400 centerpieces

Answers

Answer:

126°

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the 3rd inside angle.

72+54+x=180

126+x=180

x=54

Once you have the 3rd inner angle, you can take 180 and subtract it from it so you would have 180-54 which is 126

If the mean of 20 prices is $10.39, and 5 of the items with a mean of $10.99 are sampled, what is the mean of the other 15 prices?

Answers

Answer:

$10.19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told:

If the mean of 20 prices is $10.39

We have to find the total price

= Mean × number of prices

= 20 × $10.39

= $207.8

5 of the items with a mean of $10.99 are sampled

We would also find the total price

Mean × Number of samples

$10.99 × 5

= $54.95

what is the mean of the other 15 prices?

We find the total prices of the 15 prices

= Total 20 prices - Total of 5 prices

= $207.8 - $54.95

= $152.85

The mean of the other 15 prices

= $152.85/15

= $10.19

Answers

After a reflection across line y=x the vertices of triangle P’Q’R’ are as follows
P’= (-1,-7)
Q’= (-8-7)
R’= (-3,3)

The vertices of the image triangle reflected across the line y = x are P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), and R'( -3, 3).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), R'( -3, 3)

Here,

To find the image of the triangle vertices reflected across the line y = x, we need to swap the x-coordinates with the y-coordinates.

Original vertices of the triangle:

P(-7, -1)

Q(-7, -8)

R(3, -3)

Now, swap the x and y coordinates to get the reflected image:

Reflected image vertices:

P'( -1, -7)

Q'( -8, -7)

R'( -3, 3)

So, the vertices of the image triangle reflected across the line y = x are P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), and R'( -3, 3).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), R'( -3, 3).

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If A is in between Y and Z, then;

YA+AZ = YZ

Given.

YA = 14x,

AZ = 10x and

YZ = 12x + 48

Substitute into the formula

14x+10x = 12x+48

Find x;

24x = 12x+48

24x-12x = 48

12x = 48

x = 48/12

x = 4

Get AZ

AZ = 10x

AZ =10(4)

AZ = 40

The weekly salaries of teachers in one state are normally distributed with a mean of $490 and a standard deviation of $45. What is the probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $460 a week?

Answers

Answer:

0.74751

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = $460

μ is the population mean = $490

σ is the population standard deviation = $45

z = 460 - 490/45

z = -0.66667

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x < 460) = 0.25249

P(x > 460) = 1 - P(x<460)

P(x > 460) = 1 - 0.25249

P(x > 460) = 0.74751

The probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $460 a week is 0.74751
