<span>Given the
table that shows the hair lengths y (in inches) of your friend and her cousin in different months x.
Month Friends Hair(in) Cousins Hair(in)
3 4 7
8 6.5 9.
To solve for the
cousins hair, recall that the equation of a line is given by
y = mx + c
From the table,
7 = 3m + c . . . (1)
9 = 8m + c . . . (2)
(1) - (2) ⇒ -2 = -5m

Substituting for m into equation (1) gives:

Therefore, the equation representing the growth of the cousin's hair is given by y = 1.2x + 5.8

Let us say that the procedure of completely filling up the
pool with water is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of the equipment in
doing the job would be:
<span>Rate of handheld hose = 1 job / 8 minutes ---> 1</span>
<span>Rate of lawn sprinkler = r --->
2</span>
<span>Rate of the two combines = 1 job/ 5 minutes ---> 3</span>
So we are to find the equation to use, in this case, we
simply have to add equations 1 and 2 to get 3:
1 / 8 + r = 1 / 5
Multiplying both sides by 5:
<span>(5 / 8) + 5 r = 1 --->

Answer:
Expected pay winning $50= $0.585
Expected pay winning $25= $2.36
Expected pay for anything else= $-4.35
Expected returns=3.59
Expected value for one play= $(-1.41)
Do not play this game because you will lose $1.41
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability P(3 hearts) = (13/52)×(12/51)×(11/50) = 0.013
Probability P(3black)= (26/52)×(24/51)×(23/50) = 0.118
Probability P(drawing anything else)= 1 - 0.013 - 0.118= 0.869
Expected pay($50)= 0.013$(50-5)= $ 0.585
Expected pay($25)= 0.118(25-5)$ = $2.36
Expected pay for anything else= 0.869(0-5)$ =$(-4.347)
Expected value of one play=$ (0.585 + 2.353 -4.347) = -$1.41
c) Do not play the game.
Answer:
My best answer is that the probability is 35/100 that the student chosen at random owns neither a laptop nor a mobile phone.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you go back and read the introductory passage, you will notice it says, "In a group of 100 students... 35 own either a laptop or a mobile phone, but not both." And I think the other numbers, I.E. 25 and 40, were just meant to throw us off. Therefore, I think 35/100 is the probability.
