500 children ages 5-11 were asked the following question:

"Do you read books for fun every day?"

Results are shown in the two-way table below.

             Boy    Girl     Total

Yes         48      75       123

No          182     195     377

Total      230    270     500

What are proportions?

A proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

a. Proportion of children that are boys.

There are 500 children and 230 are boys.

230/500 = 0.46

b. Proportion of boys who read books for fun every day.

There are 230 boys and 48 read books for fun every day.

48/230 = 0.21

c. Proportion of girls who read books for fun every day.

There are 270 girls and 75 read books for fun every day.

75/270 = 0.28

d. Does the likelihood of reading books for fun depend on the gender of a child?

Based on the results from b and c, it would seem more likely for a girl to read books for fun than for a boy.

e. For a child selected at random, what is the probability that the child reads books for fun?

There are 500 children and 123 read books for fun.

P = 123/500 = 0.25

f. For a child selected at random, what is the probability that the child is a girl and reads books for fun?

There are 500 children and 75 are girls who read books for fun.

P = 75/500 = 0.15

g. For a child selected at random, what is the probability that the child is a girl or reads books for fun?

There are 500 children. The favorable cases are the girls (270) plus the children who read books for fun (123) minus the girls who read books for fun (75).

P = (270 + 123 - 75)/500 = 0.64

h. For a child selected at random, what is the probability that the child reads books for fun given that the child is a girl.

There are 270 girls and 75 of them read books for fun.

P = 75/270 = 0.28

a. The proportion of children who are boys is 0.46.b. The proportion of boys who read books for fun every day is 0.21.c. The proportion of girls who read books for fun every day is 0.28.d.

I need to find y

Answers

180 = x + y + 90

x = 180 - 115
x = 65

180 = 65 + 90 + y
180 - 65 - 90 = y
25 = y

Answer:

y° = 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the diagram of a triangle, where it shows an exterior angle with a measure of ∠115°, and that an angle bisector bisects the triangle into two right triangles.  

According to the Exterior Angle Theorem, the measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of two non-adjacent interior angles.  In other words, the given exterior angle, m∠115° is equal to m∠y° + m∠90°.

Solve for y:

Hence, we could simply solve for the value of y algebraically:

m∠y° + m∠90° = m∠115°

y° + 90° = 115°

Subtract 90° from both sides:

y° + 90° - 90° = 115° - 90°

y° = 25°

Double-check:

Verify whether we have the correct value for y by solving for x:

Since the exterior angle, ∠115°, and ∠x° are supplements, then it means that:

m∠115° + m∠x° = 180°

115° + x° = 180°

Subtract 115° from both sides:

115°- 115° + x° = 180° - 115°

x = 65°

According to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Hence:

m∠x° + m∠y° + m∠90° = 180°

65° + 25° + 90° = 180°

180° = 180° (True statement).

Therefore, the correct answer is: y = 25°. This measure represents either one of the ∠y.

does 17/10 and 12/5 form a proportion?

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

17/10 is not proportional to 12/5. Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.  17/10 as a ratio is 17:10 and 12/5 as a ratio would be 12:5. A proportional relationship for 12/5 would be 24/10.

Hope this helps :)

No, 17/10 and 12/5 do not form a proportion.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value.

We have two fractions,

17/10 and 12/5.

That means,

17/10 = 1.7

And 12/5 = 2.4

And 1.7 is not equals to 2.4.

So, the fraction does not show the proportional relationship.

Therefore,  the fraction does not show the proportional relationship.

The relationship will be a solid line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the number of $4 lunches you buy with a $100 school lunch card and the money remaining on the card.

The relationship will be a solid line as it is a linear and common slope. Each time you buy lunch, the amount in the card will decrease by $4.

Let the number of lunches you buy be = x

Let the amount remaining in the card be = y

So, equation forms:

When you buy 1 lunch, or x = 1

When x = 2

When x = 3

We can see that the decrease is gradual and same.

Using linear system of equations, the cost tie is £7.43.

Linear equations -

In everyday life, we can utilize linear equations to compare prices, make predictions, create budgets, and more. When all of the variables have a highest power of one, an equation is considered to be linear. Each variable is reliant on the others. A one-degree equation is another name for this kind of equation. Continue reading to learn how to solve a linear equation in one or two variables using its standard form, formula, graph, and rules.

Given,

Haala buys 13 identical shirts and 22 identical ties for £363.01 the cost of the shirt is £15.35,

According to question,

let cost of shirt = x

cost of tie = y

Now putting it in the equation,

13x + 22y = 363.01

given x = 15.35

⇒ y = 363.01 - 13(15.35) / 22

y = 363.01 - 199.55 / 22

y = 7.43

A six sided die is tossed. Determine the odds against rolling a 3.

The odds are :

Answers

Answer:

1/6 because 3 is one of the sides of the 6

The odds against rolling a 3 are 5:1 and the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6

What is Probability?

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

There are five numbers (1, 2, 4, 5, 6) that are not 3, so the number of ways to roll a number that is not 3 is 5.

The total number of possible outcomes is 6, since there are six sides on the die.

Therefore, the odds against rolling a 3 are:

5:1

This can also be expressed as a probability by dividing the number of unfavorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes:

P(not rolling a 3) = 5/6

Alternatively, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6, so we can also say:

P(rolling a 3) = 1/6

And the probability of not rolling a 3 is:

P(not rolling a 3) = 1 - P(rolling a 3)

= 1 - 1/6

= 5/6

Hence, the odds against rolling a 3 are 5:1 and the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6
