Prob of selected students times prob of selecting boys times prob of selecting 3 boys
total students = 15b + 30g = 45 students

1. 10s/45t = 0.22
2. 15b/45t = 0.33
3. 3b/15b = 0.2

0.22×0.33×0.2=0.0148

Kryger [21]
The given data is
time (h):    2   4   6   8
gallons:  43 36 29 22

A graph of the data shows a linear relationship.
Therefore in slope-intercept form, let
(y - 29)/(x - 6) = m
where m = the slope of the straight line.

Calculate the slope.
m = (43 - 22)/(2 - 8) = -7/2

Answer:  y-29 = - \frac{7}{2} (x-6)

Is it possible to place 158 books on three shelves so that the first shelf has 8 less books than the second and 5 more books tha
Lisa [10]
Let
x-----------------> books in <span>the first shelf
</span>y-----------------> books in the second shelf
z-----------------> books in the third shelf
we know that
x+y+z=158-------------> equation (1)
x=y-8---------> y=x+8 ------->  equation (2)
x=z+5--------> z=x-5  --------> equation (3)
<span>
 substitute (2) and (3) in (1)
</span>x+(x+8)+(x-5)=158--------> 3x=155----------> x=51.7


<span>the number of books in the first shelf (x=51.7) is not a whole number
therefore

the answer is
Is not possible to place the amount of 158 books in the amounts indicated in the problem</span>

A cylindrical rainwater tank is 1.5 m tall with a diameter of 1.4 m. What is the maximum volume of rainwater it can hold??
Ket [755]

To work out the volume of a prism, you multiply the area of cross-section by the height (or length).

So for a cylinder, you work out the area of the circle and then multiply it by the height.

Area of circle (or cross-section) = π × radius²

                                                = π × 0.7²

                                                = 0.49π   m²

Now to get the volume of the cylinder, you times this area of the cross-section by the height of the cylinder:

Volume = 0.49π × 1.5

            = 2.3 m³  (accurate to 2 decimal places)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

The maximum volume of rainwater the cylinder can hold is:

<u> </u><u>2.3 </u><u>m³</u>
