James believes the honor roll students at his school have an unfair advantage in being assigned to the math class they request. He asked 500 students at his school the following questions: "Are you on the honor roll?" and "Did you get the math class you requested?" The results are shown in the table below:

Honor roll Not on honor roll Total
Received math class requested 315 64 379
Did not get math class requested 41 80 121
Total 356 144 500

Help James determine if all students at his school have an equal opportunity to get the math class they requested. Show your work and explain your process for determining the fairness of the class assignment process.

Answers

Answer 1
If the system is fair, one would expect that the same proportion of students received their requested math class, independent of whether they are on the honor roll or not. We have that from the 356 students on the honor roll, 315 received their requested class. This percentage is around 88.5%, hence 88,5% of honor students get the class they requested. Of the 144 students not on the honor roll, 64 get their requested class. The ratio is 64/144=44.4%. We see that the percentage is a lot smaller, almost half of the percentage for the honor students. Hence, we have that there is actually injustice since if you are an honor student you have almost double the chance to get your preferred class.

The sum of two numbers is 44. One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Answers

let one of the number be x

one number = x
the other number = 3x

Given that the sum of these two number is 44.
x + 3x = 44
4x = 44
x = 44 ÷ 4 
x = 11

x = 11
3x = 11 x 3 = 33

The two numbers are 11 and 33
Set up 2 variables:
x = larger number
y = smaller number

Set up equations:
[tex]x + y = 44[/tex]
[tex]3y = x[/tex]

Solve by substituting. I will use the x already given to us (in second equation) to substitute in 1st equation (x = 3y):
[tex]3y + y = 44[/tex]
[tex]4y = 44[/tex]
[tex]y = 11[/tex]

Plug it back into 2nd equation to solve for x:
[tex]3y = x[/tex]
[tex]3(11) = x = 33[/tex]

So, our two values are: x = 33 and y = 11.

We can check, x + y = 33 + 11 does equal 44 and 33 times is 3 times larger than 11. So, the initial criteria work out and we are right.

how many time does 2 go into 19

Answers

Hello There @Diamondinthesky123 (Cute Username)

When you state the question, "How many times does 2 go into 19", I assume your talking about Long Division. (Not so long in this case)

In this case, we would divide 19 by 2, resulting in 9 with a remainder of 1. 
Thats It! :)

I hope I helped, Have a great Day!

Thank you,
Darian D. 
Final answer:

In basic division, 2 goes into 19 a total of 9 times with 1 leftover. This demonstrates division and the concept of remainders in mathematics.

Explanation:

The student is asking about basic division in mathematics, specifically how many times 2 goes into 19. To find this, we divide 19 by 2.

Doing the division, we get:

19 divided by 2 equals 9 with a remainder of 1.

Therefore, 2 goes into 19 9 times with 1 left over.

It's worth noting that there's also a mathematics technique called estimation that might be considered here. If we estimate to the nearest whole number, 2 would go into 19 approximately 9 times since 2 times 9 is 18, which is very close to 19.

$8000 invested at an APR of 6% for 10 years.
If interest is compounded annually, what is the amount of money after 10 years?

Answers

The formula in finding the maturity value is the following:

A = P (1 + r) ^t

Where A = Maturity value

            P = principal amount

             r = Annual percentage rate

             t = time in years

Substituting the given amount to the formula:

A = $8,000 (1 + 6%) ^10

    = $8,000 (1.7908)

    = $14,326.40

Therefore, the amount of $8,000 after 10 years compounded annually at 6% is $14,326.40

2x+5y=-6 , wht is the x intercept, what is the y intercept

Answers

Final answer:

The x-intercept is (-3,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-6/5).

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y=0 and solve for x. In the equation 2x+5y=-6, we substitute 0 for y and solve for x:

2x + 5(0) = -6

2x = -6

x = -3

So, the x-intercept is the point (-3,0).

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x=0 and solve for y. In the equation 2x+5y=-6, we substitute 0 for x and solve for y:

2(0) + 5y = -6

5y = -6

y = -6/5

So, the y-intercept is the point (0,-6/5).

Answers

Answer:

Third option 30° 28' 10"

Brainlist?

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠ROT, formed by adjacent angles m∠ROS (20° 15' 40") and m∠SOT (10° 12' 30"), measures 30° 28' 10" according to the Angle Addition Postulate.

Attached diagram.

To find the measure of angle ROT (m∠ROT), you can use the Angle Addition Postulate.

The Angle Addition Postulate states that the measure of an angle formed by two adjacent angles is equal to the sum of the measures of those two angles.

Here m∠ROS and m∠SOT as adjacent angles forming m∠ROT.

m∠ROS = 20 degrees 15 minutes 40 seconds

m∠SOT = 10 degrees 12 minutes 30 seconds

To find m∠ROT, add the measures of m∠ROS and m∠SOT:

m∠ROT = m∠ROS + m∠SOT

First, add the degrees, then the minutes, and finally the seconds separately:

Degrees: 20 degrees + 10 degrees = 30 degrees

Minutes: 15 minutes + 12 minutes = 27 minutes

Seconds: 40 seconds + 30 seconds = 70 seconds

Now, simplify the seconds by converting any excess seconds into minutes:

70 seconds = 1 minute and 10 seconds

Now, add the minutes to the total:

27 minutes + 1 minute = 28 minutes

So, m∠ROT is:

30 degrees 28 minutes 10 seconds

Therefore, the measure of the angle m∠ROT = 30 degrees 28 minutes 10 seconds.

what term has to be added to x^2-3x to be a trinomial 3/2 9/4 6 9

Answers

Your question is probably what should be added to the given expression to make it a perfect square.

The given expression is:

[tex] x^{2} -3x[/tex]

The formula of [tex] (a-b)^{2} [/tex] is [tex] a^{2} -2ab+ b^{2} [/tex]

Re-writing the given expression:

[tex] x^{2} - 2(x)( \frac{3}{2}) [/tex]

So, we have the square of first term and twice the product of first and second term. What is missing is the square of second term.

So, the complete expression for perfect square will be:

[tex] x^{2} -2(x)( \frac{3}{2})+ ( \frac{3}{2} )^{2} \\ \\ x^{2} -2(x)( \frac{3}{2})+ \frac{9}{4} [/tex]

Therefore, 9/4 should be added to the given expression to make it a perfect square. 

Answer:  The correct option is (B) [tex]\dfrac{9}{4}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the term that has to be added to [tex]x^2-3x[/tex] to be a perfect trinomial.

Let, c denote the term to be added.

Then,

[tex]x^2-3x+c\\\\=x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{3}{2}+c\\\\\\=x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{9}{4}+c-\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\\\=\left(x-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)+c-\dfrac{9}{4}.[/tex]

Therefore, the given expression will be a perfect trinomial if

[tex]c-\dfrac{9}{4}=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{9}{4}.[/tex]

Thus, the required term to be added is [tex]\dfrac{9}{4}.[/tex]

(i) the area of the parallelogram bounded by u and v (5)

(ii) the equation of the plane parallel to v and w pass through the tip of u

Answers

Answers: 

(i) 3
(ii) [tex]-2x + 4y + 2z = 2[/tex]
 
Explanation: 


(i) The area of the parallelogram bounded by vectors u and v is given by:

[tex]\text{Area} = \left \| u \times v \right \|[/tex]

Note that if [tex]u = (u_1, u_2, u_3) = (1, 0, 2), v = (v_1, v_2, v_3) = (0, -1, 2) [/tex],

[tex]u \times v \\ = \left(u_2v_3-u_3v_2, u_3v_1-u_1v_3, u_1v_2-u_2v_1\right) \\ = \left((0)(2)-(2)(-1), (2)(0)-(1)(2), (1)(-1)-(0)(0)\right) \\ \boxed{u \times v = \left(2, -2, -1 \right)}[/tex]

Thus, the area of the parallelogram formed by vectors u and v is calculated as

[tex]\text{Area} = \left \| u \times v \right \| \\ = \left \| \left(2, -2, -1 \right) \right \| \\ = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-2)^2 + (1)^2} \\ \boxed{\text{Area} = 3}[/tex]

Hence, the area of the parallelogram is 3.

(ii) To obtain the equation of the plane, we must get its normal vector and a point in the plane.

As calculated in (i), the normal vector to the plane is [tex]v \times w[/tex] because the plane is parallel to vectors v and w. Note that if [tex]v = (v_1, v_2, v_3) = (0, -1, 2), w = (w_1, w_2, w_3) = (2, 1, 0)[/tex],

[tex]v \times w \\ = \left(v_2w_3-v_3w_2, v_3w_1-v_1w_3, v_1w_2-v_2w_1\right) \\ = \left((-2)(0)-(2)(1), (2)(2)-(0)(0), (0)(1)-(-1)(2)\right) \\ \boxed{v \times w = \left(-2, 4, 2 \right)}[/tex]

Thus, a normal vector to the plane is [tex]\left(-2, 4, 2 \right)[/tex].

To get a point in the plane, note that vector u can be represented by any pairs of points. So, we can take (0, 0, 0) to be the starting point of vector u. Since [tex]u = (1, 0, 2)[/tex], the tip of vector u is [tex](0 + 1, 0, 0 + 2) = (1, 0, 2)[/tex]. Because the plane passes thru the tip of vector u, a point in the plane has coordinates [tex] (1, 0, 2)[/tex]. 

So for any point [tex](x, y, z)[/tex] in the plane, the equation is given by

[tex]n \cdot (x - 1, y - 0, z - 2) = 0[/tex]

Where n is the normal vector to the plane.

Since [tex]n = \left(-2, 4, 2 \right)[/tex], the equation becomes 

[tex]\left(-2, 4, 2 \right) \cdot (x - 1, y - 0, z - 2) = 0 \\ \left(-2, 4, 2 \right) \cdot (x - 1, y, z - 2) = 0 \\ -2(x - 1) + 4y + 2(z - 2) = 0 \\ -2x + 2 + 4y + 2z - 4 = 0 \\ -2x + 4y + 2z - 2 = 0 \\ \boxed{-2x + 4y + 2z = 2 }[/tex]


solve the proportion
[tex] \frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{6} [/tex]

Answers

To solve a problem like this, you can use a method called cross-multiplying. This is when you multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the other and then multiply the two remaining numbers.

[tex] \frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{6} [/tex]   Multiply 3 by 6 and multiply 4 by x.
4x = 18   Divide by 4.
x = [tex] \frac{18}{4} [/tex]   Simplify!
x = [tex] \frac{9}{2} [/tex]

You can check this by comparing the fractions with [tex] \frac{9}{2} [/tex] in the place of x.

[tex] \frac{3}{4} = \frac{ \frac{9}{2} }{6} [/tex] Divide [tex] \frac{9}{2} [/tex] by 6 ( [tex] \frac{9}{2} [/tex] times [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex]).
[tex] \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12} [/tex]   Simplify!
[tex] \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

The fractions are equal, so x = [tex] \frac{9}{2} [/tex] .
