This must be FALSE, because:

7 players x 4(which is the range) = 28 which means that the total number of baskets made is 28.

If the greatest is 8, we must do 28 - 8, which gives us 20. This means that the remaining 6 players (7 - 1 = 6) made a total of 20 baskets.

However, if the fewest is 4 baskets, this means that the remaining 5 players (6 - 1 = 5) must have made a total of 16 baskets (20 - 4 = 16) and that each player must have scored 4 or more baskets each (since 4 was the fewest number of baskets made).

But this is impossible because if the remaining 5 players scored 4 (fewest number possible) each, it would give us 20 (4 x 5). But they should have made 16, or else the total of all the baskets would not be 28 (look back at start).

This means that the statement is impossible and therefore FALSE.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

<h2>There's no enough information to say if the given statement is true or false.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The median is 5 baskets.
  • The range is 4 baskets.

Remember that a median is the center value, it's literally the number at the middle.

The range is defined as the difference between the highest and the least value.

Based on this information, it could be possible that if the greatest number of baskets made is 8, then the fewest made is 4, because it follows the given range. However, there are another possibilities, because this doesn't guarantee that the median is 5.

Therefore, there's no enough information to say if the given statement is true or false.

Shkiper50 [21]
Let's convert all volumes into pint:

1 Quart  = 2 pints → 3.5 quart of strawberry = 2 x 3.5 = 7 pints Strawberry
1 Gallon = 8 pints →1.25 Ga. water = 1.25 x 8 = 10 pints Water
2 pints of limonade = 2 pints of limonade 

Add up all pints Total = 7+10+2 = 19 pints of smoothie

Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown: f(x) = x2 g(x) = x2 − 8x + 16 In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Shift right by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x)=x^2

g(x)= x^2-8x+16

Using

Horizontal Shift theorem dealing with the question

If the graph were to be move to to the right, we must use of graph f (x-L)

Where L= 4 and

NOTE:

POSITIVE L MAKES GRAPH SHIFT RIGHT

2) NEGATIVE MAKES GRAPH SHIFT LEFT

g(x)= x^2-8x+16

If we factorize this we have

(x-4)(x-4)

Since the two terms are the same we have (x-4)^2

Then it can move by factor of 4 to the right since constant 4 can be substracted from the parents function

Jeri finds a pile of money with at least $\$200$. If she puts $\$50$ of the pile in her left pocket, gives away $\frac23$ of the
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The possible values of the number of dollars in the original pile of money is ≥ $200 but < $350

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have, pile of money ≥ $200

Amount in put the left pocket = $50

Fraction given away = 2/3 of rest of pile ≥ 2/3×150 ≥ $100

Amount put in right pocket = ≥ $150 - $100 ≥ $50

Total amount remaining with Jeri = $50 +≥ $50 ≥ $100

Also original pile - $200 < $100

Therefore where maximum amount given away to have more money = $200 we have

2/3× (original pile - 50) = $200

Maximum amount for original pile = $350

Therefore the possible values of the number of dollars in the original pile of money is ≥ $200 but < $350.

if the survey, 9/25 of students ride the bus to school and 19/50 walk to school. what fraction of students ride the bus or walk
Elena-2011 [213]

1. \dfrac{9}{25} of students ride the bus to school. Note that

\dfrac{9}{25}=\dfrac{9\cdot 2}{25\cdot 2}=\dfrac{18}{50}.

2. \dfrac{19}{50} of students walk to school.

3. The fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is

\dfrac{18}{50}+\dfrac{19}{50}=\dfrac{18+19}{50}=\dfrac{37}{50}.

Answer: the fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is \dfrac{37}{50}.
