Complete question:

The line graph relating to the question was not attached. However, the line graph has can be found in the attachment below.

Answer:

17,209

Step-by-step explanation:

The line graph provides information about alcohol-related highway fatalities between year 2001 to 2010.

Determine the average number of alcohol-related fatalities from 2001 to 2006. Round to the nearest whole number.

The average number of alcohol related fatalities between 2001 - 2006 can be calculated thus :

From the graph:

Year - - - - - - - - - - Number of fatalities

2001 - - - - - - - - - - 17401

2002 - - - - - - - - - 17525

2003 - - - - - - - - - 17013

2004 - - - - - - - - - 16694

2005 - - - - - - - - - 16885

2006 - - - - - - - - - 17738

To get the average :

Sum of fatalities / number of years

(17401 + 17525 + 17013 + 16694 + 16885 + 17738) / 6

= 103256 / 6

= 17209.333

Average number of alcohol related fatalities is 17,209 (to the nearest whole number)

Find the quotient. (5x4 – 3x2 4) ÷ (x 1)

Vlada [557]

Keywords:

<em>Divide, polynomial, quotient, divisor, dividend, rest </em>

For this case, we must find the quotient by dividing the polynomial $(5x ^ 4-3x ^ 2 + 4)\ by\ (x + 1)$ . We must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the dividend until it reaches the rest, as shown in the attached figure. At the end of the division, to verify we must bear in mind that:

$Dividend = Quotient * Divider + Remainder$

An aquarium has a base in the shape of a trapezoid. The base is 90 cm long at the front, 60 cm long at the back, and 30 cm wide

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate for the area of the trapezoid (the formula is (base + base / 2) x height):

60 cm + 90 cm = 150 cm

150 cm / 2 = 75 cm

75 cm x 30 cm = 2250 cm²

Now 1 cm² = 1 mL and 1000 mL = 1 L

2250 cm² = 2250 mL

2250 mL = 2.25 L

A class with n kids lines up for recess. The order in which the kids line up is random with eachordering being equally likely. T

Elis [28]

Answer:

A) P(Betty is first in line and mary is last) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told a sample of n kids line up for recess.

Now, the order in which they line up is random with each ordering being equally likely. Thus, this means that the probability of each kid to take a position is n(total of kids/positions).

Since we are being asked about 3 kids from the class, let's assign a letter to each kid:

J: John

B: Betty

M: Mary

A) Now, we want to find the probability that Betty is first in line or Mary is last in line.

In this case, the events are not mutually exclusive, since it's possible that "Betty is first but Mary is not last" or "Mary is last but Betty is not first" or "Betty is the first in line and Mary is last". Thus, there is an intersection between them and the probability is symbolized as;

P(B₁ ∪ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P (Mₙ) - P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

Where;

The suffix 1 refers to the first position while the suffix n refers to the last position.

Also, P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁)

This is because the events "Betty" and "Mary" are not independent since every time a kid takes his place the probability of the next one is affected.

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

In this method, the probabilities are usually assigned on the basis of experimentation or historical data.

For example, If A is an event we are considering, and we assume that we have performed the same experiment n times so that n is the number of times A could have occurred.

Also, let n_A be the number of times that A did occur.

Now, the relative frequency would be written as (n_A)/n.

Thus, in this method, we will define P(A) as:

P(A) = lim:n→∞[(n_A)/n]

A food company originally sells cereal in boxes with dimensions 25 cm by 14 cm by 10 cm. To make more profit, the company decrea

hjlf

Answer:

1.75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the dimensions of the box as 25 cm by 14 cm by 10 cm.

Now, to increase the profit, the dimensions of the box by 'x' cm.

Thus, the new dimensions are (25-x) cm by (14-x) cm by (10-x) cm.

Further, it is given that the volume of the new box is 2,208 $cm^{3}$

As, Volume of the box = Length × Breadth × Height

i.e. 2208 = (25-x) × (14-x) × (10-x)

i.e. $2208 = (25-x) \times (140-24x-x^{2})$

i.e. $2208=x^{3}-x^{2}-740x+3500$

i.e. $x^{3}-x^{2}-740x+1292=0$

On solving this cubic equations, we get that, the solutions are x = 27.6, x = 1.75 and x = 26.8.

Since, the dimensions 25 cm by 14 cm by 10 cm are reduced by x cm.

Thus, if x = 27.6 or x = 26.8, then (10-x) = -17.6 or -16.8, which cannot be possible. So, x = 1.75 cm.

Hence, the dimensions were decreased by 1.75 cm.
