Julio wants to break his school’s scoring record of 864 points during his 24-game basketball season. During the first 8 games of the season, he scored a total of 256 points. Which inequality can be used to find x, the number of points Julio must average per game during the rest of the season to break the record?

julio has a 24 game basketball season.

he has played 8, it means there are 16 more games to go

therefore=

he has scored 256 nts, wic means there are still 608 points to go .

864-256=608

x is the points he more score per every game.

16x=608

to break the records ,he must score an extra point 1

so 16x≥608

x≥38

Answer:

The diameter of an extra large pizza from Gambino's Pizzeria is $44\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a circle (circular pizza ) is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$A=484\pi\ cm^{2}$

substitute in the formula and solve for the radius r

$484\pi=\pi r^{2}$

Simplify

$484=r^{2}$

$r=22\ cm$

Find the diameter

Remember that the diameter is two times the radius

$D=2(22)=44\ cm$

PLEASE HELP NEED TO PASS!!!!!!!!The graph shows the relationship between the number of ounces of cereal in a box and the price o

Sergio039 [100]

For this case, the first thing we must do is observe the relationship between the variables:

Independent variable: Weight of the box (ounces)

Dependent variable: Price of the box ($)

Observing the behavior between both variables, we see that there is no specific relationship between the increase or decrease in the weight of the box and the increase or decrease in the price.

Therefore, there is no correlation between the variables.

Answer:

the correlation between the weight and price of a box of cereal is:

none

Visa Card USA studied how frequently young consumers, ages 18 to 24, use plastic (debit and credit) cards in making purchases (A

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Given the consumer is 18 to 24 years old, there is 37% probability that he uses a plastic card.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, we have:

What is the probability of the consumer using a plastic card, given that the consumer is 18 to 24 years old.

The problem states that the probability that a consumer uses a plastic card when making a purchase is .37, so $P(B) = 0.37$

P(A/B) is the probability that the consumer being 18 to 24 years old, given that he uses a plastic card. The problem states that this probability is .19. So $P(A/B) = 0.19$

P(A) is the probability that the consumer is 18 to 24 years old. There is a .81 probability that the consumer is more than 24 years old. So there is a .19 probability that he is 18 to 24 years old. So $P(A) = 0.19$

The probability is

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.37*0.19}{0.19} = 0.37$

Given the consumer is 18 to 24 years old, there is 37% probability that he uses a plastic card.

Devon exercised the same amount of time each day for 5 days last week. e His exercise included walking and swimming. e Each day

prohojiy [21]

I think that Devon swam at least 35 minutes each day for 5 days because if he exercised 225 minutes and each day he walked for 10 minutes then if you divide 225 by 5 you get 45 so every day he exercised 45 minutes and since he walked for 10 minutes you subtract 10 from 45 which gives you 35 so he swam for 35 minutes.

An Epson inkjet printer ad advertises that the black ink cartridge will provide enough ink for an average of 245 pages. Assume t

Neko [114]

Answer:

35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 245 \sigma = 15, n = 33, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{33}} = 2.61$

What the probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 246. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{246 - 245}{2.61}$

$Z = 0.38$

$Z = 0.38$ has a pvalue of 0.6480.

1 - 0.6480 = 0.3520

35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more
