Answer:

Mark must score at least 11 points to have an average of 10 points per game.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of a set of data is its sum, divided by the number of data points in the set. If p is the number of points Mark scores in his next game, and he wants his average at least 10, then the relation is ...

(12 +14 +10 +8 +5 +p)/6 ≥ 10

49 +p ≥ 60 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 6 and simplify

p ≥ 11 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 49

Mark must score at least 11 points in the next game to average at least 10 points per game.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Sometimes, it is convenient to work with the average directly. Relative to the average Mark wants (10), his scores so far are +2, +4, 0, -2, -5, for a total of -1. In order to bring the average to the value Mark wants, he must bring this total to 0 or higher. That is, he must score at least 10+1 = 11 points in his next game.

Anita plans to give her husband 3 shirts for his birthday. She narrows the search to 3 shirts from a selection of 17 shirts at D

Lunna [17]

Using the combination formula, it is found that she can select the shirts in 775,200 ways.

The order in which the shirt are chosen is not important, hence, the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.

Combination formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this problem:

3 shirts from a set of 17.

Then, 3 shirts from a set of 20.

They are independent, hence, to find the total, we multiply both combinations.

$T = C_{17,3} \times C_{20,3} = \frac{17!}{3!14!} \times \frac{20!}{3!17!} = 680 \times 1140 = 775200$

She can select the shirts in 775,200 ways.

Which statement is correct about relations and functions?

vitfil [10]

1. all functions are relations.

2.
-7 + 3(-12) ÷ (-3)
-7 - 36 ÷ -3
-7 - (-12)
-7 + 12
5

3.
f(n) = n² - n f(-4)
f(-4) = -4² - (-4)
f(-4) = 16 - (-4)
f(-4) = 16 + 4
f(-4) = 20

the equation y=0.5x represents the distance henry hikes, in miles, over time, in hours. the graph represents the rate that clark

zheka24 [161]

I think there's supposed to be a picture here. Anyway, you can find out by finding the slope of the line on the graph and comparing it to .5 which is Henry's slope. If the graphed slope is larger than .5 then Clark hikes faster, if it is less than .5, Henry hikes faster.

Hope this helps :)
