Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

She will make 17 shots because:

$\frac{85 x 20}{100}$ = 17.

So, the answer is 17. Hope this helps!

A motor scooter travels 20 mi in the same time that a bicycle covers 8

melamori03 [73]

The scooter is 20 miles per hour and the bicycle is 8 miles per hour. Because twice the rate of the bicycle is sixteen miles then the scooter minus 16 is four as in the four miles per hour mentioned above, so its only one hour then we divide 20 and 8 both seperatly by one and those are your answers

Arrange the entries of matrix A in increasing order of their cofactors values

givi [52]

To find the cofactor of

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&5&3\\-7&4&-1\\-8&2&1\end{array}\right]$

We cross out the Row and columns of the respective entries and find the determinant of the remaining $2\times 2$ matrix with the alternating signs.

$Ac_{11}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4&-1\\2&1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{11}=4\times 1- -1\times 2$

$Ac_{11}=4+ 2$

$Ac_{11}=6$

$Ac_{12}=-\left|\begin{array}{ccc}-7&-1\\-8&1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{12}=-(-7\times 1- -1\times -8)$

$Ac_{12}=-(-7- 8)$

$Ac_{12}=15$

$Ac_{21}=-\left|\begin{array}{ccc}5&3\\2&1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{21}=-(5\times 1- 3\times 2)$

$Ac_{21}=-(5-6)$

$Ac_{21}=1$

$A_c{23}=-\left|\begin{array}{ccc}7&5\\-8&2\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{23}=-(7\times 2 -8\times 5)$

$Ac_{23}=-(14-40)$

$Ac_{23}=26$

$A_c{31}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}5&3\\4&-1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{31}=5\times -1 -4\times 3$

$Ac_{31}=-5-12$

$Ac_{31}=-17$

$A_c{33}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}7&5\\-7&4\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{33}=7\times 4- -7\times 5$

$Ac_{33}=28+35$

$Ac_{33}=63$

Therefore in increasing order, we have;

$Ac_{31}=-17,Ac_{21}=1,Ac_{11}=6,Ac_{23}=26,Ac_{12}=15, Ac_{33}=63$

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. Two marbles are chosen from

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The expression would give the probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

$P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. So in total there are 25 marbles.

Hence,

Probability of getting yellow ball = $P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}$

Probability of getting red ball = $P(R)=\dfrac{5}{25}$

Probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

$P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}\cdot \dfrac{5}{25}+\dfrac{5}{25}\cdot \dfrac{8}{25}=0.128$

According to the scatterplot below, which statement is correct? A graph titled Courses Completed versus Remaining Credits Needed

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a graph titled Courses Completed versus Remaining Credits Needed to Graduate has courses completed on the x-axis and Credits need to graduate on the y-axis.

Points plotted are (4, 110), (8, 76), (16, 63), (20, 53), (24, 33).

Since, x-axis represents the courses completed, therefore the input, or independent variable is courses completed.

Since, y-axis represents the Credits need to graduate, therefore the output, or dependent variable is Credits need to graduate.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
