Set up a system of equations:

s = 2d - 5
s + d = 43

Where 's' represents the number of points Stilt scored and 'd' represents the number of points Dunk scored.

Plug in 2d - 5 for 's' in the 2nd equation:

s + d = 43

2d - 5 + d = 43

Combine like terms:

3d - 5 = 43

Add 5 to both sides:

3d = 48

Divide 3 to both sides:

d = 16

Plug this back into any of the two equations to find 's':

s + d = 43

s + 16 = 43

Subtract 16 to both sides:

s = 27

So Dunk scored 16 points and Stilt scored 27 points.

(iii) Find the smallest whole number h such that<br>4704/h<br>is a cube number.<br>​
yan [13]

Answer:

h=588

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fraction \dfrac{4,704}{h}

Consider its numerator and factor it:

4,704=2^5\cdot 3\cdot 7^2

You cann not take the cube root from 3, 7^2, 2^5, you can only take the cube root from 2^3, then the smallest whole number h such that \dfrac{4,704}{h} is a cube number is

h=2^2\cdot 3\cdot 7^2=4\cdot 3\cdot 49=588

When h=588,

\dfrac{4,704}{588}=8=2^3

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed (or, given by a random variable
topjm [15]

Answer:

(A) 0.15625

(B) 0.1875

(C) Can't be computed

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 32 and 64 minutes.

Let X = Amount of time taken by student to complete a statistics quiz

So,   X ~ U(32 , 64)

The PDF of uniform distribution is given by;

    f(X) = \frac{1}{b-a} ,  a < X < b      where a = 32 and b = 64

The CDF of Uniform distribution is P(X <= x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}

(A) Probability that student requires more than 59 minutes to complete the quiz = P(X > 59)

   P(X > 59) = 1 - P(X <= 59) = 1 - \frac{x-a}{b-a} = 1 - \frac{59-32}{64-32} = 1-\frac{27}{32} = 0.15625

(B) Probability that student completes the quiz in a time between 37 and 43 minutes = P(37 <= X <= 43)  = P(X <= 43) - P(X < 37)

    P(X <= 43) = \frac{43-32}{64-32} = \frac{11}{32} = 0.34375

    P(X < 37) = \frac{37-32}{64-32} = \frac{5}{32} = 0.15625

    P(37 <= X <= 43) = 0.34375 - 0.15625 = 0.1875

(C) Probability that student complete the quiz in exactly 44.74 minutes

     = P(X = 44.74)

The above probability can't be computed because this is a continuous distribution and it can't give point wise probability.

Simplify 5 square root of 11 end root minus 12 square root of 11 end root minus 2 square root of 11. negative 33 square root of
Alla [95]
As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract.  The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing.  Just like adding fractions or combining like terms.  Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside.  In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11: (5-12-2) \sqrt{11}.  The numbers subtract to give you -9.  Therefore, the simplification is -9 \sqrt{11}

The distance between New York and Philadelphia by railroad is 90 miles; the distance between them by river and ocean is 240 mile
VladimirAG [237]
Start with 90/240, then reduce the fraction
you can reduce by dividing each by 10 to get 9/24
reduce more from there, seeing that each number can be divided by 3
9/3  = 3
24/3 = 8
answer 3/8

Nikita ran a 5-kilometer race in 39 minutes (0.65 of an hour) without training beforehand. In the first part of the race, her av
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
First part of the race

speed1, s1 = 8.75 km/h
distance1 = 5 km - x
time 1 = 0.65 h - t

Second part of the race

speed2, s2 = 6 km/h
distance2 = x
time2 = t

s2 = x/t = 6 ⇒ t = x / 6

s1 = [5 - x] / [0.65 - t] = 8.75

5 - x = 8.75 [0.65 - t]

5 -x = 8.75(0.65) - 8.75t

5 - x = 5.6875 - 8.75 (x/6)

5 - x = 5.6875 - 1.4583x

1.4583 x - x = 5.6875 - 5

0.4583 x = 0.6875

x = 0.6875 / 0.4583 = 1.5
