Mason compared the number of free throws made to the number of free throws missed. The probability would actually be 2/5 becahse 18+12 is 30, giving you your denominator, then you made 12. So, simplifying 12/30 gives you your probability of 2/5.

Hope this helps you!

On a coordinate plane, square P Q R S is shown. Point P is at (4, 2), point Q is at (8, 5), point R is at (5, 9), and point S is
sergey [27]

Answer:

(D)The midpoint of both diagonals is (4 and one-half, 5 and one-half), the slope of RP is 7, and the slope of SQ is Negative one-sevenths.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Point P is at (4, 2),
  • Point Q is at (8, 5),
  • Point R is at (5, 9), and
  • Point S is at (1, 6)

Midpoint of SQ =\frac{1}{2}(1+8,5+6)=(4.5,5.5)

Midpoint of PR =\frac{1}{2}(4+5,2+9)=(4.5,5.5)

Now, we have established that the midpoints (point of bisection) are at the same point.

Two lines are perpendicular if the slope of one is the negative reciprocal of the other.

In option D

  • Slope of RP =7
  • Slope of SQ  =-\dfrac17

Therefore, lines RP and SQ are perpendicular.

Option D is the correct option.

For a recent season in college football, the total number of rushing yards for that season is recorded for each running back. Th
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the number of rushing yards for the running backs that season is 350.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The mean number of rushing yards for the running backs that season is 790 yards. One running back had 1,637 rushing yards for the season, which is 2.42 standard deviations above the mean number of rushing yards.

Here it is given that mean is 790 and 1637 is 2.42 standard deviations above the mean.

Use the formula: z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Here z is 2.42 and μ is 790, substitute the respective values as shown.

2.42=\frac{1637-790}{\sigma}

\sigma=\frac{847}{2.42}

\sigma=350

Hence, the standard deviation of the number of rushing yards for the running backs that season is 350.

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6​ ft, 6 in.​ tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is
marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

s(t)=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and if we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is 10 feet above the surface of the moon, we sub in a 10 for s(t) and solve for t:

10=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and

0=-2.7t^2+50t-3.5 and factor that however you are currently factoring quadratics in class to get

t = .07 sec and t = 18.45 sec

There are 2 times that the ball passes 10 feet above the surface of the moon, once going up (.07 sec) and then again coming down (18.45 sec).

For part B, we are looking for the time that the ball lands on the surface of the moon. Set the height equal to 0 because the height of something ON the ground is 0:

0=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and factor that to get

t = -.129 sec and t = 18.65 sec

Since time can NEVER be negative, we know that it takes 18.65 seconds after launch for the ball to land on the surface of the moon.

If a 10-pound turkey costs $20.42.how much does a 21-pound turkey cost
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$42.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

cost/pounds=cost/pounds

We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.

$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds

We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.

$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds

20.42/10=x/21

We want to find x, by getting x by itself.

x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.

21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21

21* 20.42/10=x

21*2.042=x

42.882=x

Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.

42.88=x

x= $42.88

A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88
