x = 5
7x+8=43
First, we want to separate the variable, so we subtract 8 from both sides:
7x=35
Then we divide both sides by 7 to get x all by itself:
x=5
This is because 35/7=5
Entry to a certain University is determined by a national test. The scores on this test are known to be normally distributed with a mean of 725 and a standard deviation of 115. Harriet wants to be admitted to this university and she knows that she must score better than at least 75% of the students who took the test. Harriet takes the test and scores 874.5. 1. (2pts) What percentile did Harriet score in? 2. (2pt) Will Harriet be admitted? Wh
Answer:
She scored in the 90th percentile.
90th percentile is better than 90% of the students who took the test, so yes, she will be admitted.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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.
The scores on this test are known to be normally distributed with a mean of 725 and a standard deviation of 115.
This means that [tex]\mu = 725, \sigma = 115[/tex]
She must score better than at least 75% of the students who took the test.
So her z-score should have a pvalue of at least 0.75.
Harriet takes the test and scores 874.5. 1. (2pts) What percentile did Harriet score in?
We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 874.5.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{874.5 - 725}{115}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9032
She scored in the 90th percentile.
Will Harriet be admitted?
90th percentile is better than 90% of the students who took the test, so yes, she will be admitted.

Jack and his two friends each ordered a small pizza, Jack ate 7/8 of his pizza, Luis ate 3/4 of his pizza, Tyrone ate 1/2 of his pizza. How much pizza was left. Answer to the simplest form.
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
What we wanna do first is make all denominators the same. Multiply 3/4 by 2/2 and 1/2 by 4/4. This will get you 6/8 and 4/8. Now we have all the fractions:
6/8. 4/8, 7/8
We know Jack ate 7/8 of his pizza, so there's 1/8 pizza left for him.
Luis ate 3/4, which became 6/8, so there's 2/8 of pizza left.
Tyrone ate 1/2 of his pizza, which is 4/8, so there is 4/8 left.
Add: 1/8 + 2/8 + 4/8 = 7/8
This means that there is 1/8 slice left because 7/8 of the whole pizza was eaten.

3. The students of Sunshine High School are raising money to
support the sports teams. A local organization donated boxes of
popcorn and candy for the students to sell. The freshmen are selling
boxes of popcorn for $1.50 each, and the sophomores are selling
boxes of candy for $3 each. The students' target is to raise at least
$650. The sophomores expect to sell at most 95 boxes of candy. Let
x represent the number of boxes of popcorn sold and y represent
the number of boxes of candy sold. Which system of inequalities
models the given situation?
A. 1.5x +3y > 650
y < 95
B. 1.5x +3y > 650
y < 95
C.
1.5x +3y < 650
y > 95
D.
1.5x +3y > 650
y < 95
Answer:
1.5x + 3y ≥ 650y ≤ 95Step-by-step explanation:
Boxes of popcorn = x, each cost = $1.50
⇒ total = 1.5xBoxes of candy = y, each cost = $3
⇒ total = 3yTotal money raised, sum of the above two:
1.5x + 3yTarget is to raise at least $650:
1.5x + 3y ≥ 650The sophomores expect to sell at most 95 boxes of candy:
y ≤ 95The system of inequalities:

Use 3 as a value for π.
Answer: [tex]384cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume is base* height
the base a the circle
area of a circle: [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
the radius is 1/2 of the diameter, so it's 4
[tex]3*(4^2)=\\3*16= 48[/tex]
To find the volume I multiplied it by 8 (height)
[tex]48*8=384[/tex]

A train travels 4.4 miles in
4 minutes. At this rate, how many miles will it
travel in 58 minutes?
Answer:
63.8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If the train travels 4.4 miles in 4 minutes, then you have to divide 4.4/4 to find the miles the train travels per minute.
4.4/4 = 1.1
So, since the train travels 1.1 miles per minute, and we want to know how fast it travels in 58 minutes, we have to multiply 1.1 by 58. Since 1.1 is a decimal number, we have to multiply both sides by 10 to get 11x580.
11x580 = 5800+ 580 = 6380
Since we multiplied both numbers by 10, we have to divide 6380 by 100.
6380/100 = 63.8
So, the train travels 63.8 miles in 58 minutes.

A sound wave travels at 330m/s and has a wavelength of 2 m. calculate its frequency and period.
Answer:
frequency= 165Hz
period= [tex]\frac{1}{165}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To calculate the frequency using the formula:
f = v/λ
where,
f=frequency (what the question asked)
v=speed of wave (given in the question=330m/s)
λ=wavelength (given in the question=2m)
SO,
[tex]f=\frac{330}{2}[/tex]
= 165Hz
2. To calculate the period use the formula:
since [tex]f=\frac{1}{T}[/tex]
therefore, [tex]T=\frac{1}{f}[/tex]
where,
f= frequency (what we solved above=165Hz)
T= period (what the question asked)
SO,
[tex]T=\frac{1}{165}[/tex]

Prove that Lydia is incorrect
Firat, calculate the slope (m)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
Where:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,19)[/tex]
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (4,15)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m = \frac{15 - 19}{4 - 5}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-4}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]m=4[/tex]
The equation is then calculated using:
[tex]y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)[/tex]
Where:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,19)[/tex] and [tex]m=4[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]y - 19 = 4(x-5)[/tex]
[tex]y - 19 = 4x-20[/tex]
Make y the subject
[tex]y = 4x-20+19[/tex]
[tex]y = 4x-1[/tex]
The above shows the equation. Hence, the Lydia is correct

Write 45.21% as a decimal
Answer:
.4521
Step-by-step explanation:
when converting a percentage to a decimal you have to move the decimal point over two times to the left. do if you have 100% you moved the decimal point over two and get 1.00
Answer:
0.4521
Step-by-step explanation:
Instead, you can simply multiply a number by 45.21 as a decimal to get the answer.
45.21 percent means 45.21 per hundred. Therefore, to get 45.21 as a decimal, all you have to do is divide 45.21 by 100 like so:
45.21 ÷ 100 = 0.4521
Shortcut: When you divide anything by 100, just move the decimal point two places to the left.
Normally, to calculate 45.21 percent, you would multiply a number by 45.21 percent and then you would take the product of that and divide it by 100 to get the answer.
(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)
A veterinarian wants to know if pit bulls or golden retrievers have a higher incidence of tooth decay at the age of three. The vet surveys 120 three-year-old pit bulls and finds 30 of them have tooth decay. The vet then surveys 160 three-year-old golden retrievers and finds 32 of them have tooth decay. Number the population of pit bulls and golden retrievers by 1 and 2, respectively. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the population proportion of pit bulls and golden retrievers that have tooth decay. Which of the following is correct?
A) [-0.0492, 0.1492]
B) [-0.0332, 0.1332]
C) [0.0199. 0.0801]
D) [0.0428, 0.0572]
Answer: B) [-0.0332,0.1332]
Step-by-step explanation: Confidence Interval is an interval where we can be a percentage sure the true mean is.
The confidence interval for a difference in population proportion is calculated following these steps:
First, let's find population proportion for each population:
[tex]p_{1}=\frac{30}{120}=0.25[/tex]
[tex]p_{2}=\frac{32}{160}=0.2[/tex]
Second, calculate standard deviation for each proportion:
[tex]\sigma_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{0.25(0.75)}{120} } = 0.0395[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{0.2(0.8)}{160} } = 0.0316[/tex]
Now, we calculate standard error for difference:
[tex]SE=\sqrt{\sigma_{1}^{2}+\sigma_{2}^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]SE=\sqrt{0.0395^{2}+0.0316^{2}}[/tex]
SE = 0.0505
The z-score for a 90% CI is 1.645.
Then, confidence interval is
[tex]p_{1}-p_{2}[/tex] ± z-score.SE
[tex]0.25-0.2[/tex] ± [tex]1.645(0.0505)[/tex]
0.05 ± 0.0831
The limits of this interval are:
inferior: 0.05 - 0.0831 = [tex]-0.0332[/tex]
superior: 0.05 + 0.0831 = 0.1332
The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the population proportion of pit pulls and golden retrievers is [tex][-0.0332,0.1332][/tex].
