a. 75
b. 0.75
c. 0.5
d. 0.25

Answers

Answer 1
To find relative frequency of no voters; 

p(A)=favourable outcomes/total outcomes 

p(A)=100/400 

= 1/4 or 0.25 

Therefore, the probability a person will respond with a no is 0.25.

Hope I helped :)
Answer 2

The proportion in the population who will respond "no" is 0.25

what is probability?

The ratio of good outcomes to all possible outcomes of an event is known as the probability. The number of positive results for an experiment with 'n' outcomes can be represented by the symbol x. The probability of an event can be calculated using the following formula.

Probability(Event) = Favorable Outcomes/Total Outcomes = x/n

Given:

Total people surveyed= 400

people say 'yes'= 300

people say 'no' = 100

Now, proportion in the population who will respond "no" is

= 100/400

=1/40

= 0.25

A)The bridge is about 1,791.58 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 381.16 ft.

B)The bridge is about 1,791.58 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 895.79 ft.

Answers

y= -0.000475x^2 + 0.851x

How high above is the river bridge (the top of the arch)?

You have to find the vertex of of the parabole: the y-coordinate is the highest point.

Remember that the x-coordinate of the vertex of a parabole is at - b / 2a.

That is  x = - 0.851 / [ 2(-0.000475) = 895.79

The corresponden y is y = -0.000475(895.79)^2 + 0.851(895.79) = 381.16 feet above the river.

How long is section of bridge above the arch?

The section of the brige is equal to the difference of the two roots

Roots: y= -0.000475x^2 + 0.851x = 0

=> x( - 0.000475x + 0.851) = 0

=> x = 0 and x = 0.851 / 0.000475 = 1791.58

Then the section is 1791.58 feet long.

Therefore, the answer is the option D)The bridge is about 381.16 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 1,791.58 ft

The only solution of the equation x2 + bx + 16 = 0 is x = 4. What is the value of b?

b = –16
b = –8
b = 8
b = 16

Answers

b equals negative 8. becasue 16 is too large

Answer:

Option B is correct.

value of b = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation: [tex]x^2+bx+16= 0[/tex]

As per the condition: The only solution for the given equation is, x = 4.

Substitute this value of x =4 in given equation, to solve for b;

[tex](4)^2+b(4)+16= 0[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]16+4b+16= 0[/tex]

or

Subtract 32 on both sides, we get;

32 + 4b -32 = 0-32

Simplify:

4b = -32

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

b = -8

Suppose that you work part-time as a sales representative at a car dealership. You earn a base salary of $125 per week plus a 18% commission on all sales that you make. Your best friend has exactly the same job at another car dealership but earning a base salary of 85$ per week plus a 21% commission on all sales. How much do you and your friend need to sell in order to earn the same amount in any given week?

Answers

Define the two friends as person A and person B.

Let x =  the sales in a week.

Person A:
$125 per week plus 18% commission on sales.
Earnings in a week on x sales is
125 + 0.18x

Person B:
$85 per week plus 21% commission on sales.
Earnings in a week on x sales is
85 + 0.21x

For the two earnings to be equal,
85 + 0.21x = 125 + 0.18x
0.03x = 40
x = 40/0.03 = $1333.33

Answer:  The required width of the rectangle is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a rectangle has perimeter 84 cm and length 35 cm.

We are to find the width of the rectangle.

Let w represents the width of the rectangle.

According to the given information,

length, l = 35 cm and perimeter, P = 84 cm.

Therefore, we get

[tex]P=2(l+b)\\\\\Rightarrow 84=2(35+w)\\\\\Rightarrow 42=35+w\\\\\Rightarrow w=42-35\\\\\Rightarrow w=7.[/tex]

Thus, the required width of the rectangle is 7 cm.

What is a quadratic equation?

For variable x : ax² + bx + c = 0, where a≠0 is a standard quadratic equation, which is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable. It has at least one solution since it is a second-order polynomial equation, which is guaranteed by the algebraic basic theorem.

To factor the expression x² - a completely, we need to write it as a product of two binomials.

This can be done using the difference of squares formula, which states that a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).

If we apply this formula to x² - a, we get:

x² - a = (x + sqrt(a))(x - sqrt(a))

This is a factorization of x² - a into two binomials, where the constant term a is represented by the square root of a.

For the expression x² - a to be completely factored, both factors must be irreducible (meaning they cannot be factored any further). This requires that a be a perfect square.

Out of the given options, 36, 49, and 81 are perfect squares.

If a 40-foot tree casts a 16-foot shadow, find the length of the shadow cast by a 24-foot tree

Answers

The shadow of the 24-foot tree will be 9.6 feet.

What is the ratio?

In mathematics, ratios are used to determine the relationship between two numbers it indicates how many times is one number to another number.

Given that:-

If a 40-foot tree casts a 16-foot shadow, find the length of the shadow cast by a 24-foot tree.

The shadow of the 24-foot tree will be calculated as follows:-

[tex]\dfrac{40}{16}=\dfrac{24}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{24\times 16}{40}[/tex]

x = 9.6

Therefore the shadow of the 24-foot tree will be 9.6 feet.

To know more about ratios follow

https://brainly.com/question/2328454

#SPJ1

Final answer:

To find the length of the shadow cast by a 24-foot tree, we use the proportion of a 40-foot tree's height to its 16-foot shadow. The resulting shadow length for the 24-foot tree calculated through cross-multiplication is 9.6 feet.

Explanation:

The length of the shadow cast by a 24-foot tree can be found using a simple proportion based on the shadow cast by a 40-foot tree. Since a 40-foot tree casts a 16-foot shadow, the ratio of the height of the tree to the length of its shadow is 40 to 16. This ratio should be the same for the 24-foot tree. To find the shadow length (x) of the 24-foot tree, we set up the proportion as follows:

40 feet (tree height) / 16 feet (shadow length) = 24 feet (tree height) / x feet (shadow length)

Solving for x gives us:

40 / 16 = 24 / x

40 * x = 24 * 16

x = (24 * 16) / 40

x = 384 / 40

x = 9.6 feet

Therefore, the shadow cast by a 24-foot tree would be 9.6 feet long.

Kim, Laura and Molly share £385
The ratio of the amount of money Kim gets to the amount of money Mollley gets is 2:5
Kim gets £105 less than Molly gets

What percentage of the £385 does Laura get ?

With working out

Answers

Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.

 x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.

Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.

70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.

140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).

Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:

duration = arriving time - depart time
duration1= x= arriving time - 8h
duration2= y= arriving time -8.5h= (arriving time - 8h) -0.5h= x-0.5h 

speed1 * duration1 = speed2 * duration2

Answers

(a) The total amount that is to be paid by the company is equal to the setup fee and the total fee collected for each month. The equation that can be used in order to determine the answer is,
      S = 275 + dx

where S is the total amount paid, d is the monthly fee and x is the number of months. Substituting the known values from the given,
    1091 = 275 + d(12)

or,   1091 = 12d + 275

(b) To determine the value of d, follow the steps given below,
    Substract 275 in each side of the equation,
    1091 - 275 = 12d + 275 - 275
