A large jar contains an unknown number of red gumballs and 145 green gumballs. As part of a​ seventh-grade class project the teacher asks Carlos to estimate the total number of gumballs in the jar using a sample. Carlos draws a sample of 55 ​gumballs, of which 11 are red and 44 are green. Use​ Carlos' sample to estimate the number of gumballs in the jar.

Answers

The total number of gumballs in the jar calculated using probability is about 181.

Probability is the study of chance. The likelihood of an event to occur given as a fraction is probability.

For a sure event the probability is 1 and for an impossible event the probability is 0.

Carlos draws a sample of 55 gumballs. Out of which the number of green gumballs is 44.

Probability of a green gumball= number of green gumballs ÷ total number of gumballs

P(green) = 44 ÷ 55 = 4/5

Now in the sample the number of green gumballs is 4/5 , and in the jar the number of green gumballs is 145 .

Let us consider there are x gumballs in total in the jar.

P(green)=145 ÷ x

We know that P(green)= 4/5

∴4/5 = 145 ÷ x

or, x = 145 × 5 ÷ 4

or, x = 181.25 gumballs.

or, x ≈ 181 gumballs(As the number of gumballs cannot be a fraction)

Therefore there are about 181 gumballs in total .

Answers

The percentage increase is 103.7%.

Answer:

103.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

Original price = $1.35
New price = $2.75

Find the percent change. To find the percent change we will use the formula to calculate the percent change of course rounding if needed.

[tex]\frac{np\times op}{op} \times100[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2.75\times1.35}{1.35} \times100[/tex]
[tex]2.75 - 1.35\div1.35\times 100% =[/tex]

A 75% antifreeze solution is to be mixed with a 90% antifreeze solution to get 360 liters of a 85% solution. How many liters
of the 75% and how many liters of the 90% solutions will be used?

Answers

In linear equation , 240 liters of 90% solutions will be used.

What are a definition and an example of a linear equation?

A linear equation with one variable is one that contains just one variable. It has the formula Ax + B = 0, with A and B being any two real numbers and x being an ambiguous variable with only one possible value. One such linear equation in one variable is 9x + 78 = 18.

Let x be the quantity of 75% antifreeze solution and y be the quantity of 90% antifreeze solution,

Since, the total quantity of the mixture = 360,

⇒ x + y = 360 ----- (1),

Also, the resultant solution is of  85% antifreeze solution,

⇒ 75 % of x + 90% of y = 85% of 360

0.75x + 0.90y = 0.85 × 360

0.75x + 0.90y = 306

75x + 90y = 30600 -----(2),

Equation (2) - 75 × equation (1),

We get,

15y = 3600

⇒ y = 240

Hence, 240 liters of 90% solutions will be used.

Dan's has a current credit card statement of $785. His credit card APR is 24.42%. What would be his finance charge if he does not pay the balance in full?

Answers

The $785 balance on Dan's credit card is currently due. The APR on his credit card is 24.42%. He has to pay the full balance that is $785.2442.

Given that,

The $785 balance on Dan's credit card is currently due.

The APR on his credit card is 24.42%.

We have to find what finance fee would he pay if he didn't pay the balance in full.

To find the balance full he has to pay.

We have to add the balance of current due and APR .

We get,

=$785+24.42%

=$785+0.2442

=$785.2442

Therefore, he has to pay the full balance that is $785.2442.

Which equation has no solution?
O 14x-21 = -6
O 1-2-x1=9
O 13x + 61 = 6
O 1-2x + 81 = 0

Answers

Equation has no solution  is |4x-2|=-6

checking option A

|4x-2|=-6  . . . .1

if 4x-2≥0

  4x≥2

  x≥1/2

then |4x-2| = 4x-2

So , .. . . 1 becomes

4x-2=-6

4x=-4

x=-1

But x≥1/2

So x=-1 is not a solution.

if   4x-2≤0

  4x≤2

  x≤1/2

then |4x-2| = -(4x-2)

So , .. . . 1 becomes

-4x+2=-6

4x=8

x=2

but x≤1/2

So x=2 is not a solution.

checking option B

|-2-x| = 9  . . . 2

if -2-x ≥ 0

   x≤-2

then

|-2-x| = -2-x

So,  . . .. . 2 becomes

x=-11

so it has a solution .

checking option C

|3x+61| = 6 . . . . . 3

if 3x+61≥0

x≥-61/3

then

|3x+61| = 3x+61

So, . . .3 becomes

x=-55/3

So it has a solution.

if -2x+8≥0

x≤4

then  |-2x+8| = -2x+8

So , .. . . . .4 becomes

(a) The answer of (g.f)(2) is [tex]\sqrt{23}[/tex] .

(c)The answer of  (g - f) (-1) is [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex] .

(d)The answer of [tex]\frac{f}{g}(-1)[/tex] is 0 .

The composition of functions f(x) and g(x) on which g(x) acts first is denoted by f(g(x)) or (f ∘ g)(x). It combines two or more functions to provide another function. In function composition, the output of the function inside the parentheses becomes the input of the outer function.

We have given two functions f(x) = [tex]1-x^2[/tex] and g(x) = [tex]\sqrt{11-4x}[/tex]

(a) Put x = 2 in f(x) we get  f(2) = 1 - 4 = -3

  (g.f)(2) =  g(f(2))

             = g(-3)

              [tex]=\sqrt{11-4(-3)}\\=\sqrt{11+12} \\=\sqrt{23}[/tex]

which is option (c) .

(b)  Put x = 2 in f(x) we get f(2) = 1 - 4 = -3 and g(2) = [tex]\sqrt{11-8} =\sqrt{3}[/tex]

(g + f) (2) = g(2) + f(2)

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

               = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] - 3

which is option (a)

(c) Put x = -1 in f(x) we get f(-1) = 1 - 1 = 0 and g(-1) = [tex]\sqrt{11+4} =\sqrt{15}[/tex]

(g - f) (-1) = g(-1) - f(-1)

              = [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex] + 0

               = [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex]

which is option (b)

(d) Put x = -1 in f(x) we get f(-1) = 1 - 1 = 0 and g(-1) = [tex]\sqrt{11+4} =\sqrt{15}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{f}{g}(-1)[/tex] = f(-1) / g(-1)

          = 0 / [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex]

           = 0

A rational consumer would purchase a good as long as marginal benefit is equal or greater than marginal cost.

Marginal cost is the additional cost generated by producing an additional unit of output. Marginal benefit is the benefit derived from consuming one extra unit of a good.

The marginal benefit of the first five sweaters is greater than the marginal cost. Thus, she should buy  five sweaters.

Answers

The fraction of the sweets that are blue given the ratios is 13/40.

What is the fraction of blue sweets?

A fraction is a non-integer that is made up of a numerator and a denominator. An example is 2/3. 2 is the numerator and 3 is the denominator.

Ratio shows the relationship between two or more numbers. It is the number of times that one value is contained in other value(s). Ratios are used to compare two or more numbers.

We would be assuming the numbers of sweet based on the given ratios.

The number of hard sweets = 30

The number of soft sweets = 50

Number of hard sweets that are blue = (1/5) x 30 = 6

Number of soft sweets that are blue = (2/5) x 50 = 20

Total number of blue sweets =20 + 6 = 26

Total number of sweets = 30 + 50 = 80

Fraction of blue sweets = 26/80 = 13 /40

The monthly cost (in dollars) of a long-distance phone plan is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes). The monthly cost for 53 minutes of calls is $12.03 and the monthly cost for 65 minutes is $13.59. What is the monthly cost for 57 minutes of calls?

Answers

The monthly cost of 57 minutes calls is $12.55.

The monthly cost is $12.03 for 53 minutes and $ 13.59 for 65 minutes call

Therefore we have two points (53, 12.03) and ( 65, 13.59)

slope = (13.59 - 12.03)/ ( 65 - 53)

          = 1.56/ 12

          = 0.13

The intercept is

y = mx + c

12.03 = 0.13×53 + c

12.03 = 6.89 + c

c = 5.14

Equation:

cost = 0.13(minutes) + 5.14

       = 0.13×57 + 5.14

       = 7.41 + 5.14

       = 12.55

Therefore the monthly cost for 57 minutes is $12.55.

Find the other endpoint of the segment with a midpoint of (-6, 4) and endpoint of (4, 8).

Answer:

(-16, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint can be found using the formula below, where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the first endpoint and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] is the other endpoint.

[tex]\boxed{\text{Midpoint}=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )}[/tex]

Let the other endpoint be (x, y).

Substitute the given midpoint and one endpoint into the formula above:

(-6, 4)= [tex](\frac{x+4}{2},\frac{y+8}{2} )[/tex]

Comparing the x-coordinate:

[tex]-6=\frac{x+4}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2:

x +4= -12

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x= -12 -4

x= -16

Comparing the y-coordinate:

[tex]4=\frac{y+8}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2:

y +8= 8

Subtract 8 from both sides:

y= 8 -8

y= 0

Thus, the other endpoint is (-16, 0).
