) assembly comprises 769 team members. given that tmm operates two shifts a day, and assembly has 353 stations, what is the proportion of team members not assigned to one of the stations?

Answers

Among the 769 team members, 706 of them are assigned to operates in 2 shifts schedule. The proportion of team members not assigned to one of the stations is 63 / 769

Proportion means a share from total set being discussed.

Data from the given case:

- The assembly has 769 team members.

- The assembly has 353 stations

- At each station, there are 2 shifts operations.

Assuming that 1 person is assigned to 1 shift operation, then there will:

353 x 2 = 706 person assigned.

The remaining team members that not assigned is:

769 - 706 = 63 person.

Therefore, the share or the proportion of unassigned team members is:

A group of people were asked if they owned a dog. 191 responded "yes", and 485 responded "no".Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they own a dog. 191485 294191 191676

Answers

Given:

There are given that the number of people who said yes is 191 and who said no is 485.

Explanation:

According to the given question:

The total number of people is:

[tex]191+485=676[/tex]

That means the total outcome is 676.

Now,

The probability that the person is chosen own dog is:

[tex]P=\frac{The\text{ number of people who have their own dog}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}[/tex]

So,

[tex]P=\frac{191}{\text{6}76}[/tex]

write the slope intercept form:through: (4, -5), perp. to x= -4

Answers

The line should be perpendicular to x = -4

x= -4 is a vertical line crossing the x axis at x= -4

The slope is undefined in x =-4

For an equation in slope intercept form, the general form is ;

y= mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So for any y value, x is always -4

Thus the slope for line x = -4 is not defined

A line perpendicular to x = -4 will thus be a horizontal line with slope 0

For the equation of this line

0= y--5/x-4

0 = y+5 /x-4

0{x-4} = y +5

0 = y+5

A train ticket in a certain city is 3.00. People eho use the train also have the option of purchasing a frequent rider pass for 18.75 each month. With the pass, each ticket costs only 2.25. Determine the number of times in a month the train must be used so that the total monthly cost without the pass is the same as the total monthly cost with the pass.

Answers

The number of times for which the train must be used so that the monthly cost without the pass is same as with the pass is; 6.25 times.

How to solve Word Problems using algebraic expressions.

It follows from the task content that the regular train ticket costs, 3.00.

Therefore, the cost for travelling x times with the month is; 3x.

On this note, for the total monthly cost without the pass to be same as that with the pass; the equation which must hold is;

3x = 18.75

x = 18.75/3

x = 6.25 times.

Therefore, after taking the train 6.25 times, the cost without the pass is same as that with the pass.

Answers

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(C) I and III only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! It's me again! Let's help you with this question too!

Now, let's start understanding what information is given to us.

[tex]a < b < 0[/tex]

This means that, some integer a is lower than some integer b and b is lower than 0. So right out of the gate, both integer a and b are both negative numbers. Here, we can evaluate all 3 possibilities like so:

I. [tex]\frac{a}{b} > 0[/tex]

To start, let's see if this is true. The simplest way is to substitute values into integer a and b to where [tex]a < b < 0[/tex] holds true as well. For this example, we can say [tex]a=-2[/tex] and [tex]b=-1[/tex]. If we evaluate as such, it would be:

[tex]\frac{-2}{-1} > 0[/tex]

[tex]2 > 0[/tex]

From this example, 2 is higher than 0. Meaning this is true. Now, it'll be true for every value due to something called the fraction rule. Fraction rule is simply just stating that, if the numerator and denominator both have a negative sign, they cancel each other out and become a positive fraction. So, we can say I. is true.

II. [tex]-b > -a[/tex]

This is simple to prove, all it's saying is that negative integer b is always going to be higher than negative integer a. Using our same example from I. we can substitute as such and evaluate:

[tex]-(-1) > -(-2)[/tex]

[tex]1 > 2[/tex]

Here, we can see that 1 is not greater than 2 and no matter what numbers you substitute, that will always be the case because you're essentially putting the lowest number first and seeing if it's greater than the lower number. So II. is false.

III. [tex]0 < \frac{b}{a} < 1[/tex]

Now this one is a bit more difficult. However, there isn't much we need to do here. This is saying that 0 is lower than [tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex] but [tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex] is lower than 1.  Let's split this into 2 parts.

Part 1: [tex]0 < \frac{b}{a}[/tex]

This isn't the same as I. as the numerator and denominators have switched. Let's use the values we've set back in I. to see if this holds true:

[tex]0 < \frac{-1}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]0 < \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

From here, we find that it is true. And it also holds true that it is less than 1. We can use another set of values to see if this still holds. Let's try [tex]a=-7[/tex] and [tex]b=-3[/tex]:

[tex]0 < \frac{-3}{-7}[/tex]

[tex]0 < \frac{3}{7}[/tex]

As you can see here, using the fraction rule. So long as there is an integer a and b are different (they always will be because of [tex]a < b < 0[/tex]), regardless of what they will be, it will always give us a fraction answer. And a fraction answer will always be lower than 1. Therefore, III. is also true.

So, the answer to this question is C. I and III only

Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. Determined to discover if dragons could have actually existed, I set out on a quest for facts.2As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not and did not exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they were too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.3I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I read more about dragons. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found notes about dragons in old legal papers and in the travel logs of people like Marco Polo. Dragons were also mentioned in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.4With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.5I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.(( I need till tomorrow pls write an effective summary of the story.)) I will give brainliest if it's correct.
