Based on the given table, consider that the value in the column frequency specifies the number of times that a certain score (first column) is repeated in a given data.
In this case, the value of the frequency for a specific score determines the number of students with such a score in their tests.
As you can notice, for the value of the frequency equal to 3, the corresponding value of the score is 5. It means that 3 student get 5 scores in their tests.

Question #3 3) The digits of a 2-digit number differ by 5. If the digits are interchanged and the resulting number is added to the original number, we get 99. Find the original number.
Answers
ones number = x
Tens number = y
y>x
Number at the tens place y = (x+5)
original number = 10 (x+5)+x
Interchange digits:= 10x+(x+5)
original number + new number = 99
¨[10(x+5)+x]+ [10x+ (x+5)] =99
Solving for x:
(10x+50+x )+( 10x+x+5) = 99
Combine like terms
(11x+50) + (11x+5) = 99
11x+11x+50+5 =99
22x+55 =99
subtract 55 from both sides
22x +55-55= 99-55
22x = 44
Divide both sides by 22
22x/22= 44/22
x = 2
unit place: 2
tens place = x+5 = 2+5 = 7

For an outdoor concert by the city orchestra, concert organizers estimate that 11,000 people will attend if it is not raining.

Determine the expected number of people who will attend thisconcert
Answers
Step 1
Given;
For an outdoor concert by the city orchestra, concert organizers estimate that 11,000 people will attend if it's not raining.
If it is raining, concert organizers estimate 7000 people will attend.
On the day of the concert, meteorologists predict a 60% chance of rain.
Step 2
Given that the probability of having rain is 60%
[tex]Pr(rain)=\frac{60}{100}=0.6[/tex]So the probability of not having rain is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} Pr(rain)+Pr(no\text{ rain\rparen=1} \\ Pr(no\text{ rain\rparen=1-Pr\lparen rain\rparen} \\ Pr(no\text{ rain\rparen=1-0.6=0.4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 3
Now, the expected number of people who will attend the concert will be:
=(probability of not having rain x number of expected guests when it does not rain) + (probability of having rain x number of expected guests when rains)
[tex]\begin{gathered} Pr(expected\text{ number of peope\rparen=\lparen0.4}\times11000)+(0.6\times7000) \\ Pr(expected\text{ number of peope\rparen=4400+4200=8600} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer; So, the expected number of people who will attend the concert is 8600

The periodic payment can be computed using an online finance calculator, making the following inputs.
N (# of periods) = 4 years
I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%
PV (Present Value) = $239,500 ($260,500 - $5,500 - $8,500 - $7,000)
FV (Future Value) = $0

Answers
Jan goes 6 km east from her home, and Mel goes 8 km north from the same home. So we need to find the distance between both schools, and we do such using the Pithagorean theorem, since we are in the presence of a right angle triangle for which we know the two legs, and need to find the measure of the hypotenuse.
I am going to represent the problem with a diagram below, so you see the right angle triangle I am talking about.
So the two legs are represented by the distances each student travels, and the segment in red is the distance between the schools which appears as the HYPOTENUSE of the right angle triangle.
Therefore, we use the Pythagoras theorem for the hypotenuse:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt[]{leg1^2+\text{leg}2^2} \\ \text{hypotenuse}=\sqrt[]{6^2+8^2} \\ \text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt[]{36+64} \\ \text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt[]{100}=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the distance between the schools is 10 km

[tex]\frac{df(x)}{dx}=\tan(x)\cdot\frac{d}{dx}\text{ cot\lparen x\rparen + }\frac{d}{dx}\text{ tan\lparen x\rparen }\cdot\text{ cot\lparen x\rparen}[/tex]this is equivalent to:

[tex]\frac{df(x)}{dx}=\text{ -}\tan(x)\cdot\text{ csc}^2\text{\lparen x\rparen+ sec}^2(x)\cdot\text{ cot\lparen x\rparen}[/tex]now, this is equivalent to:

[tex]\frac{df(1)}{dx}=0[/tex]Notice that this slope matches the slope found on the graph of the function f(x), because horizontal lines have a slope 0:

P(x) =x and q(x) = x-1Given:minimum x and Maximum x: -9.4 and 9.4minimum y and maximum y: -6.2 and 6.2Using the rational function [y=P(x)/q(x)], draw a graph and answer the following: a) what are the zeroes?b) are there any asymptotes? c) what is the domain and range for this function?d) it it a continuous function?e) are there any values of y= f(x)/g(x) that are undefined? Explain
Answers
we have the following function
[tex]\frac{p(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{x}{x\text{ -1}}[/tex]where x is between -9.4 and 9.4 and y is between -6.2 and 6.2.
We will first draw the function
from the graph, we can see that the zeroes are all values of x for which the graph crosses the x -axis
In this case, we see that that the only zero is at x=0.
Now, we have that the asymptotes are lines to which the graph of the function get really close to. On one side, we can see that as x goes to infinity or minus infinity, the values of the function get really close to 1. So the graph has a horizontal asymptote at y=1. Also, we can see that as x gets really close to 1, the graph gets really close to the vertical line x=1. So the graph has a vertical asymptote at x=1.
Recall that the domain of a function is the set of values of x for which the function is defined. From our graph, we can see that graph is not defined when x=1. So the domain of the function is the set of real numbers except x=1. Now, recall that the range of the function is the set of y values of the graph. From the picture we can see that the graph has a y coordinate for every value of y except for y=1. So, this means that the range of the function is the set of real numbers except y=1.
From the graph, we can see that we cannot draw the graph having a continous drawing. That is, imagine we take a pencil and start on one point on the graph on the left side. We can draw the whole graph on the left side, but we cannot draw the graph on the right side without lifting the pencil up. As we have to "lift the pencil up" this means that the graph is not continous
Finally note that as we have a vertical asymptote at x=1 and horizontal asymptote at y=1 we have that when y is 1 or x is 1, the function y=f(x)/g(x) is undefined

Answers
The value of x in the angles is 19.
How to find angles in intersecting lines?When lines intersect, angle relationships are formed such as vertically opposite angles, adjacent angles etc.
Therefore, let's find the value of x in the intersecting lines.
Hence,
7x - 8 = 6x + 11 (vertically opposite angles)
Vertically opposite angles are congruent and they share the same vertex point.
Hence,
7x - 8 = 6x + 11
subtract 6x from both sides of the equation
7x - 8 = 6x + 11
7x - 6x - 8 = 6x - 6x + 11
x - 8 = 11
add 8 to both sides of the equation

A building is 5 feet tall. the base of the ladder is 8 feet from the building. how tall must a ladder be to reach the top of the building? explain your reasoning.show your work. round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Answers
The ladder must be 9.4 ft to reach the top of the building
Here, we want to get the length of the ladder that will reach the top of the building
Firstly, we need a diagrammatic representation
We have this as;
As we can see, we have a right triangle with the hypotenuse being the length of the ladder
We simply will make use of Pythagoras' theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus, we have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2=5^2+8^2 \\ x^2=\text{ 25 + 64} \\ x^2\text{ = 89} \\ x=\text{ }\sqrt[]{89} \\ x\text{ = 9.4 ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]
