Answer:

64 ivy stems

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use rule of three:

Firstly we had 72 ivy stems to use in 18 centerpieces, and know we have 16 centerpieces and want to know how many ivy stems we need to use, so:

18 centerpieces -> 72 ivy stems

16 centerpieces -> X ivy stems

18/16 = 72/X

X = 16*72/18 = 64

He needs to use now 64 ivy stems to maintain the ratio.

The green shaded region does not represent the solution to the system of linear inequalities given below. Explain why not.
Sliva [168]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The area of solutions of the first inequality lies above an orange straight line.

The area of solutions of the second inequality lies below a blue straight line.

These areas are crossed in the yellow field.

The green field does not meet a condition of the second inequality and therefore does not enter the area of the solution of a system of inequalities

When a certain basketball player takes his first shot in a game he succeeds with probability 1/2. If he misses his first shot, h
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

we are given

basketball player Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons makes free throw shots 88% of the time

so, probability of making shot is

=88%

so, p=0.88

To find the probability of missing first shot and making the second shot

so, we can use formula

probability = p(1-p)

now, we can plug values

we get

So, the probability that he misses his first shot and makes the second is 0.1056........Answer

At East Middle School, there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students. The numbers of left- and right-handed st
EastWind [94]

<u>Answer:</u>

C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504

D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students at East Middle School and these numbers of students are proportional to the number of left and right handed students at East Middle School.

Given the above information, we are are to determine which two options could be the the numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High.

Ratio of right handed to left handed students at East Middle School = \frac{609}{58} = 10.5

Checking for ratios of the given options:

A. \frac{483}{42} =11.5

B. \frac{378}{28} =13.5

C. \frac{504}{48} =10.5

D. \frac{560}{56} =10

E. \frac{315}{30} =10.5

Therefore, the possible numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High could be C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504 and D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315.

Suppose 50 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 70 percent order a soft drink, and 35 percent order b
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Ordering a soft drink is independent of ordering a square pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

20% more customers order a soft drink than pizza, therefore they cannot be intertwined.

Given: P(A)=0.5 & P(B)=.7

P(A∩B) =  P(A) × P(B)

=  0.5 × .7

=  0.35

P(A∪B) =  P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

=  0.5 + .7 - 0.35

=  0.85

P(AΔB) =  P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A∩B)

=  0.5 + .7 - 2×0.35

=  0.5

P(A') =  1 - P(A)

=  1 - 0.5

=  0.5

P(B') =  1 - P(B)

=  1 - .7

=  0.3

P((A∪B)') =  1 - P(A∪B)

=  1 - 0.85

=  0.15
