In a round-robin chess tournament every player plays one game with every other player. Five participants withdrew after playing two games each. None of these players played a game against each other. A total of 220 games were played in the tournament. Including those who withdrew, how many players participated

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  26 players to start; 21 players after 5 withdrew

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the withdrawing players did not play against each other, so the total number of games they played was 5×2 = 10. Then the number of games played by the remaining players was 220 -10 = 210. When n players play each other, they play a total of n(n -1)/2 games. Here, that total is 210, so we have ...

  n(n -1)/2 = 210

  n^2 -n = 420 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 2

  (n -1/2)^2 = 420.25 . . . . add 0.25 to complete the square

  n = 1/2 +√420.25 = 0.5 +20.5 = 21 . . . . . square root and add 1/2

The number of participating players after 5 withdrew was 21. There were 26 players to start.

to justify your answer.

Answers

The percentage of your savings that I use is 60%

This shows that the amount of money the organization will raise in total is $25,000.

1) Given

Total amount saved = $4500

Amount used = $2,700

Percentage of money used = Amount used/Total amount saved × 100%

[tex]Percentage \ of \ money \ used = \frac{2700}{4500} \times 100\\Percentage \ of \ money = \frac{27}{45} \times 100\\Percentage \ of \ money \ used = \frac{2700}{45} \\Percentage \ of \ money \ used = 60 \%[/tex]

Hence the percentage of your savings that I use is 60%

2) Let the amount of money the organization will raise in total be x

Since the 45% of the money they raise represents $11,250, hence:

[tex]45\% \ of \ x = \$11,250\\0.45x = 11,250\\x = \frac{11250}{0.45}\\ x = 25,000[/tex]

This shows that the amount of money the organization will raise in total is $25,000

10-5x=3(x-4)-2(x+7)-------

Answers

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

10-5x=3(x-4)-2(x+7)

Distribute

10-5x=3x-12-2x14

Combine like terms

10-5x = x-26

add 5x to each side

10-5x+5x = x+5x-26

10 = 6x-26

Add 26 to each side

10+26 = 6x-26+26

36 = 6x

Divide by 6

36/6 = 6x/6

6 =x

Answer:

[tex]10-5x=3\left(x-4\right)-2\left(x+7\right)[/tex]

[tex]10-5x=x-26[/tex]

Subtract 10 from both sides:-

[tex]-5x=x-36[/tex]

Now, subtract x from both sides:-

[tex]-5x-x=x-36-x[/tex]

[tex]-6x=-36[/tex]

Divide both sides by -6:-

describe the translation. y = (x-5)squared +5 - y = (x-))squared +0

Answers

In functions; translations are used to move lines, points or shapes across the graph (i.e. up, down, right or left).

The translation from [tex]y = (x - 5)^2 +5[/tex] to [tex]y = (x - 0)^2 +0[/tex] is to shift [tex]y = (x - 5)^2 +5[/tex] to the left by 5 units and then downward by 5 units

The given parameters are:

[tex]y = (x - 5)^2 +5[/tex]

[tex]y = (x - 0)^2 +0[/tex]

Assume the first point is: [tex]y = (x - 5)^2 +5[/tex]

While the second is: [tex]y = (x - 0)^2 +0[/tex]

The first point is first shifted left by 5 units

The rule to this translation is: [tex](x,y) \to (x + 5,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y' = (x - 5 + 5)^2 + 5[/tex]

[tex]y' = (x - 0)^2 + 5[/tex]

Next, the resulting function is shifted down by 5 units.

The rule to this translation is: [tex](x,y) \to (x,y- 5)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y" = y' - 5[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y" = (x - 0)^2 + 5 - 5[/tex]

[tex]y" = (x - 0)^2 + 0[/tex]

Hence, the translation from [tex]y = (x - 5)^2 +5[/tex] to [tex]y = (x - 0)^2 +0[/tex] is to shift [tex]y = (x - 5)^2 +5[/tex] to the left by 5 units and then downward by 5 units

Based on what we have learned, how can we ensure that we choose a sample of students that is representative of all 8:00 AM classes that take place on a given morning

Answers

Sampling technique is a way of selecting a sample from a given population. The best way to get a sample of students that represents all 8:00 AM classes is by using a stratified sampling technique.

From the complete question, we can summarize the given data as follows:

[tex]Buildings = 3[/tex] ----3 buildings in the college

[tex]Lecture\ Halls =2[/tex]  ---- 2 lecture halls in each building

[tex]Capacity = 100[/tex] --- 100 students in each lecture hall

Because the students' lecture halls are not in the same building, the best way to get a sample is as follows:

Divide the students into groups (In this case, the students will be grouped by the buildings of their lecture halls)

The number of students in each building is:

[tex]Students = Capacity \times Lecture\ Halls[/tex]

[tex]Students = 100 \times 2[/tex]

[tex]Students = 200[/tex]

There are 200 students in each building

Then select at random an equal proportion of student from each building (say 30 students in each building)

The above method is referred to as a stratified sampling technique because the population of the students are divided into groups, before being randomly selected.

Let two events A and B be independent. Knowing P(A)=0.8 and P(A+B)=0.93. Calculate the probability P(B).

Answers

Answer:

Hello,

P(B)=0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

If P(A+B) means P(A∪B)=0.93 then you may read below.

Let's say x=P(B)

A and B being independent, P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)=0.8*x

Since P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(x)-P(A∩B) ,

0.93=0.8+x-0.8*x

0.2*x=0.13

x=0.65

in chemistry class, 9 Liters of a 40% silver iodine solution must be mixed with a 10% solution to get a 6% solution. How many liters of the 10% solution are needed?

Answers

9 L of 40% silver iodine solution contains 0.40 (9 L) = 3.6 L of silver iodine.

x L of a 10% solution contains 0.10 (x L) = 0.1x L of silver iodine.

Mixing these two solutions results in another solution of volume (x + 9) L and containing (0.1x + 3.6) L of silver iodine, which gives it a concentration of 6%.

But this is impossible! Let a < b. You cannot mix two solutions at concentrations of a and b and magically end up with a mixture whose concentration is smaller than a or larger than b, it has to fall somewhere in the middle.

We can still try solving for x to demonstrate this:

(0.1x + 3.6)/(x + 9) = 0.06

0.1x + 3.6 = 0.06 (x + 9)

0.1x + 3.6 = 0.06x + 0.54

0.04x = -3.06

x = -76.5

Nonsense.

Perhaps you meant the target concentration to be 16%? In that case, there is a valid solution:

(0.1x + 3.6)/(x + 9) = 0.16

0.1x + 3.6 = 0.16 (x + 9)

0.1x + 3.6 = 0.16x + 1.44

0.06x = 2.16

x = 36

Find the largest positive integer that will divide 542, 436, 398 leaving reminders 7, 11, 15 respectively

Answers

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question for finding the numbers that will divide 398, 436 and 542 leaving remainder 7, 11 and 15 respectively we have to first subtract the remainder of the following. By this step we find the highest common factor of the numbers.

And then the required number is the HCF of the following numbers that are formed when the remainder are subtracted from them.

Clearly, the required number is the HCF of the numbers 398−7=391,436−11=425, and, 542−15=527

We will find the HCF of 391, 425 and 527 by prime factorization method.

391=17×23425=52×17527=17×31

Hence, HCF of 391, 4250 and 527 is 17 because the greatest common factor from all the numbers is 17 only.

So we can say that the largest number that will divide 398, 436 and 542 leaving remainders 7, 11 and 15 respectively is 17.

Note: - whenever we face such a type of question the key concept for solving this question is whenever in the question it is asking about the largest number it divides. You should always think about the highest common factor i.e. HCF. we have to subtract remainder because you have to find a factor that means it should be perfectly divisible so to make divisible we subtract remainder. because remainder is the extra number so on subtracting remainder it becomes divisible.
