Answers
Given 7 women and 10 men;
a) the top 3 are all men:
[tex]\begin{gathered} ways\text{ to choose 3 men out of 10 men is:} \\ 10C_3=\frac{10!}{(10-3)!3!} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{10!}{7!3!}=\frac{10\times9\times8\times7!}{7!\times3\times2\times1} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{10\times9\times8}{3\times2\times1}=120 \\ \text{ways to choose 3 men from 17 people(10men +7women) is:} \\ 17C_3=\frac{17!}{(17-3)!3!} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{17!}{14!\times3!}=\frac{17\times16\times15\times14!}{14!\times3\times2\times1} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{17\times16\times15}{3\times2\times1}=680 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the probability that the top 3 are all men is:
[tex]P_{all\text{ men}}=\frac{120}{680}=0.1765[/tex]b) the top 3 are all women:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ways to choose 3 women from 7 women is:} \\ 7C_3=35 \\ \text{ways to choose 3 women from 17 people is:} \\ 17C_3=680 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the probability that the top 3 are all women is:
[tex]P_{\text{all women}}=\frac{35}{680}=0.0515[/tex]c) 2 men and 1 woman;
[tex]\begin{gathered} ways\text{ to choose 2 men out of 10 men is:} \\ 10C_2=45 \\ \text{ways to choose 1 woman from 7 women is:} \\ 7C_1=7 \\ \text{Thus, ways to choose 2 men and 1 woman }=45\times7=315 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the probability that the top 3 finishers are 2 men and 1 woman is:

Hello! Need a little help on parts a,b, and c. The rubric is attached, Thank you!
Answers
In this situation, The number of lionfish every year grows by 69%. This means that to the number of lionfish in a year, we need to add the 69% to get the number of fish in the next year.
This is a geometric sequence because the next term of the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a number.
The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is:
[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]We know that a₁ = 9000 (the number of fish after 1 year)
And the growth rate is 69%, to get the number of lionfish in the next year, we need to multiply by the rate og growth (in decimal) and add to the number of fish. First, let's find the growth rate in decimal, we need to divide by 100:
[tex]\frac{69}{100}=0.69[/tex]Then, if a₁ is the number of lionfish in the year 1, to find the number in the next year:
[tex]a_2=a_1+a_1\cdot0.69[/tex]We can rewrite:
[tex]a_2=a_1(1+0.69)=a_1(1.69)[/tex]With this, we have found the number r = 1.69. And now we can write the equation asked in A:
The answer to A is:
[tex]f(n)=9000\cdot1.69^{n-1}[/tex]Now, to solve B, we need to find the number of lionfish in the bay after 6 years. Then, we can use the equation of item A and evaluate for n = 6:
[tex]f(6)=9000\cdot1.69^{6-1}=9000\cdot1.69^5\approx124072.6427[/tex]To the nearest whole, the number of lionfish after 6 years is 124,072.
For part C, we need to use the recursive form of a geometric sequence:
[tex]a_n=r(a_{n-1})[/tex]We know that the first term of the sequence is 9000. After the first year, the scientists remove 1400 lionfish. We can write this as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_1=9000 \\ a_n=r\cdot(a_{n-1}-1400) \end{gathered}[/tex]Because to the number of lionfish in the previous year, we need to subtract the 1400 fish removed by the scientists.
The answer to B is:

Meghan measures the heights and arm spans of the girls on her basketball team. She plots the data and makes a scatterplot comparing heights and arm spans, in inches. Meghan finds that the trend line that best fits her results has the equation y=x+2 . if a girl on her team is 64 inches tall, What should Meggan expect her span to be?
Answers
EXPLANATION
Let's see the facts:
The equation is given by the following expression y= x + 2
---> 64 inches tall
As we can see in the graph of arm span versus height, and with the given data the arm span should be:
arm span = y = 64 + 2 = 66 inches
So, the answer is 66 inches. [OPTION C]

Using data from the previous table, construct an exponential model for this situation.A ( t ) =What will be the value when t=8, rounded to 2 decimal places?
Answers
Answer
• Exponential model
[tex]A(t)=13.60(1+0.25)^{t}[/tex][tex]A(8)\approx81.06[/tex]Explanation
The exponential model equation can be given by:
[tex]A(t)=C(1+r)^t[/tex]where C is the initial value, r is the rate of growth and t is the time.
We can get the initial value by evaluating in the table when t = 0. In this case the value A(0) = 13.60. Then our equation is:
[tex]A(t)=13.60(1+r)^t[/tex]Now we have to get r by choosing any point and solving for r. For example, (3, 26.56). By replacing the values and solving we get:
[tex]26.56=13.60(1+r)^3[/tex][tex]\frac{26.56}{13.60}=(1+r)^3[/tex][tex](1+r)^3=\frac{26.56}{13.60}[/tex][tex]\sqrt[3]{(1+r)^3}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{26.56}{13.60}}[/tex][tex]1+r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{26.56}{13.60}}[/tex][tex]r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{26.56}{13.60}}-1\approx0.2500[/tex]Thus, our rate is 0.25, and we can add it to our equation:
[tex]A(t)=13.60(1+0.25)^t[/tex]Finally, we evaluate t = 8:

Answers
Let p be the number of pavilion seats and l be the number of lawn seats. Since there were sold 1400 tickets, we can write
[tex]p+l=1400[/tex]and since the total money was $32000, we can write
[tex]30p+20l=32000[/tex]Then,we have the following system of equations
[tex]\begin{gathered} p+l=1400 \\ 30p+20l=32000 \end{gathered}[/tex]Solving by elimination method.
By multiplying the first equation by -30, we have an equivalent system of equation
[tex]\begin{gathered} -30p-30l=-42000 \\ 30p+20l=32000 \end{gathered}[/tex]By adding these equations, we get
[tex]-10l=-10000[/tex]then, l is given by
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\frac{-10000}{-10} \\ l=1000 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we can substitute this result into the equation p+l=1400 and obtain
[tex]p+1000=1400[/tex]which gives
[tex]\begin{gathered} p=1400-1000 \\ p=400 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, How many tickets of each type were sold? 400 for pavilion seats and 1000 for lawn seats
How many pavilion seats were sold? 400 tickets

Three-inch pieces are repeatedly cut from a 42-inch string. The length of the string after x cuts is given by y = 42 – 3x. Find and interpret the x- and y-intercepts.
Answers
Answer:
y-intercept: 42
x-intercept: 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept can be found with the given equation:
y = 42 - 3x
Either Let x = 0 to find the y-intercept. OR,
rearrange the equation to y=mx+b to see the y-intercept, which is b in the equation.
y = 3(0) + 42
y = 42
The y-intercept is 42 and this means that the original, uncut length of the string (zero cuts) is 42.
To find the x-intercept, let y = 0.
y = 42 - 3x
0 = 42 - 3x
Add 3x to both sides.
3x = 42
Divide by 3.
x = 42/3
x = 14
An x-intercept of 14, means that at 14 cuts there will be no more string left. The length of the string is now 0.

To find the length of a side, a, of a square divide the perimeter, P by 4. Use the above verbal representation to express the function s, symbolically, graphically, and numerically.
Answers
Solution
- We are told to find the numerical, graphical, and symbolic expression for the side of a square, s, given its perimeter, P
Symbolic Representation:
- The symbolic representation simply means the formula we can use to represent the side of a square given its perimeter, P.
- The side of a square is simply the perimeter P divided by 4.
- Symbolically, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} s=\frac{P}{4} \\ \text{where,} \\ s=\text{side of the square} \\ P=\text{Perimeter of the square} \end{gathered}[/tex]Numerical Representation:
- We are given a set of numbers to create a table given some numbers for P.
- We are given a set of values for P: 4, 8, 10, 12.
- We can use the formula in the symbolic representation to find the corresponding values of s.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{When P = 4:} \\ s=\frac{4}{4}=1 \\ s=1 \\ \\ \text{When P=8:} \\ s=\frac{8}{4}=2 \\ s=2 \\ \\ \text{When P=10:} \\ s=\frac{10}{4}=2.5 \\ s=2.5 \\ \\ \text{When P=12:} \\ s=\frac{12}{4}=3 \\ s=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]- Now that we have the values of P and the corresponding values of s, we can proceed to create a table of values as the question asked of us.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\cdot4+4y+0=24 \\ 16+4y=24 \\ 4y=24-16 \\ y=\frac{8}{4} \\ y=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Solve for y: 5 left parenthesis 3 y plus 4 right parenthesis equals 6 open parentheses 2 y minus 2 over 3 close parentheses The solution is Y = _______
Answers
ANSWER:
-8
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We have the following equation:
[tex]5\cdot\mleft(3y+4\mright)=6\cdot\mleft(2y-\frac{2}{3}\mright)[/tex]Solving for y:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15y+20=12y-4 \\ 15y-12y=-4-20 \\ 3y=-24 \\ y=-\frac{24}{3} \\ y=-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]The solution of y is equal to -8
