The school librarian recorded the types of books students checked out on a typical day. Suppose there are 605 students enrolled

at the school. Predict the number that perfered humor books. Compare this to the number of students at the school who perfer nonfiction.
Graph shows:
humor- 13 out of 25
nonfiction- 8 out of 25
mystery- 15 out of 25
romance- 6 out of 25
adventure- 13 out of 25

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The entry in the graph are :

humor- 13 out of 25

nonfiction- 8 out of 25

mystery- 15 out of 25

romance- 6 out of 25

adventure- 13 out of 25

i.e. the probability of choosing humor books= 13/25

and the probability of choosing non-fiction= 8/25

Now there are a total of 605 students enrolled at the school.

Hence, the number of students preferring <u>humor books </u>is:

$\dfrac{13}{25}\times 605\\\\=314.6$

<em>which is approximately equal to 315 students</em>

and the number of students preferring <u>non-fiction</u> is:

$\dfrac{8}{25}\times 605\\\\=193.6$

<em>which is approximately equal to 194 students</em>

Which statement follows from the given theorem? Theorem: The diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles

777dan777 [17]

Answer with explanation:

Theorem : The diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles.

Properties of parallelogram

1. Opposite sides are equal and parallel.

2. Diagonal bisect each other.

3. Opposite Angles are equal.

If you will look at the first three options

A: Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect opposite angles.→→False(Alternate angles are equal)

B: Consecutive sides of a parallelogram are congruent.→→→False(Opposite sides are congruent)

C: Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are congruent.→→→False(Opposite angles are congruent)

D: Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.→→→→True

For,any parallelogram, having vertices , A, B and C and D

Opposite sides are parallel, so

1.∠A + ∠B=180°

2.∠C + ∠B=180°

3.∠C+ ∠D=180°

4. ∠A + ∠D=180°

Option D

The aquarium at Sea Critters Depot contains 140 fish. Eighty of these fish are green swordtails (44 female and 36 male) and 60 a

maxonik [38]

Given that:

Total number of fish = 140

Fish are green swordtails female = 44

Fish are green swordtails male = 36

Fish are orange swordtails female = 36

Fish are orange swordtails male = 24

Solution:

A. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is a green swordtail.

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{80}{140}$

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{4}{7}$

Therefore, the probability that the selected fish is a green swordtail is $\dfrac{4}{7}.$

B. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is male.

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{36+24}{140}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{60}{140}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{3}{7}$

Therefore, the probability that the selected fish is a male, is $\dfrac{3}{7}.$

C. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is a male green swordtail.

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{36}{140}$

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{9}{35}$

Therefore, probability that the selected fish is a male green swordtail is $\dfrac{9}{35}.$

D.

We have to find the probability that the selected fish is either a male or a green swordtail.

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male or green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{44+36+24}{140}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{96}{140}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{24}{35}$

Therefore, the probability the selected fish is either a male or a green swordtail is $\dfrac{24}{35}.$

Lena [83]

Answer:

270 tickets were sold
not needed: books per player, tickets per book

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tickets sold, the total revenue needs to be divided by the revenue per ticket:

(total revenue)/(revenue/ticket) = total tickets

$810/$3 = 270 . . . total tickets

__

None of the other numbers in the problem are needed: books per player (1), tickets per book (10).
