Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of animals in a group= 5+3=8 animals

Number of rays=5

Since we only have 5 rays out of the total 8, to express the number of rays as a percentage of the total animals, we divide the number of rays by the total animals then multiply by 100 to express in percentage as needed in the question

Percentage of rays= $\frac {5}{8}\times 100=62.5$

Therefore, the percentage is 62.5%

Given g(x)=8x+3 find the following g(-1) and g(2a+1)

Degger [83]

Answer:

g(-1) = -5

g(2a+1) = 16a+11

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given value into the function and evaluate.

So for g(x) = 8x+3

You substitute g(-1)

So g(-1) = 8(-1)+3

That is how you get -5

Then g(2a+1)

So g(2a+1) = 8(2a+1)+3

Thats how you get 16a+11

Lemur [1.5K]

The scatter plot has been attached

Answer:

Options C, D & E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because from the scatter plot, only four athletes were faster in the second race than in the first one.

Option B is wrong because only 1 athlete had his second race time differing from the first race time by exactly 2 seconds.

Option C is true because exactly 9 of the times for the first race were at least 16 seconds

Option D is true because there are exactly 3 athletes who had the same time in both races

Option E is true because 8 of the times for the second race were less than 17 seconds
