Answer:

13 children and 9 adults if the total cost is $152.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x children and y adults

x + y = 22 (1)

5.5x + 9y = 125.5 (2)

y = 22 - x

5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 125.5

5.5x + 198 - 9x = 125.5

-3.5x = 125.5 - 198

-3.5x = -72.5

x = 20.7

y = 22 - x = 1.3

Which is not possible

If the total cost is $152.5

x + y = 22 (1)

5.5x + 9y = 152.5 (2)

y = 22 - x

5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 152.5

5.5x + 198 - 9x = 152.5

-3.5x = 152.5 - 198

-3.5x = -45.5

x = 13

y = 22 - 13 = 9

In Ms. Dole's class, students received grades of 87, 72, 99, 93, and 84 on yesterday's quiz. What was the mean of the quiz grade
Naddika [18.5K]
Hello!

The mean is the average of the numbers

To find the average you add them all up and divide the sum by the amount of numbers added

87 + 72 + 99 + 93 + 84 = 435

Divide the sum by the amount of numbers added

435 / 5 = 87

The answer is 87

Hope this helps!

The length of life of an instrument produced by a machine has a normal ditribution with a mean of 12 months and standard deviati
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a) P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z

b) P(7

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2.5

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

a) less than 7 months.

Let X the random variable that represent the length of life of an instrument of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(12,2)  

Where \mu=12 and \sigma=2

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z

b) between 7 and 12 months.

P(7

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2.5

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-2.5

Ruth left her home at 9 am and walked to the library. She got to the library at 10 30 am. Ruth walked at a speed of 4 mph. (a) W
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

she walked 6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Ruth walks at a speed of 4 mph and it took her 1.5 hours to walk from her home to the library (from 9 to 10.30).

We can solve this using a rule of three:

If she walks 4 miles in 1 hour, how many hours did she walk in 1.5 hours?

1 hour           4 miles

1.5 hours       x miles

Solving for x we get:

x=\frac{1.5(4)}{1} =6 miles

Thus, she walked a distance of 6 miles

On a website selling books, three paperback books and five hardcover books cost $80.10, and seven paperback books and four hardc
Lisa [10]
To answer this kind of question, you need to insert the first equation into second equation or vice versa. The equation from the question should be:

1. 3 paperback books +  5 hardcover book = $80.10
2. 7 paperback books + 4 hardcover book= $100.65

It would be easier to convert the 1st equation into
5 hardcover book = $80.10- 3 paperback books
hardcover book= $16.02- 0.6 paperback books

Then insert it to 2nd equation:
7 paperback books + 4 ($16.02- 0.6 paperback books)= $100.65
7 paperback books + $64.08- 2.4 paperback books= $100.65
4.6 paperback books = $100.65-  $64.08= $36.57
paperback book= $7.95

Insert paperback book price to the first equation to find the hardcover book price
3 paperback books +  5 hardcover book = $80.10
3 ($7.95)+  5 hardcover book = $80.10
5 hardcover book = $80.10 - $23.85= $56.25
hardcover book = $11.25

Then one paperback and one hardcoverbook= $7.95 + $11.25= $19.20

If point A is located at (-3,-1) and there are 10 points between A and B, what could be the possible coordinates for point B?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By drawing the point (-3,-1) in the coordinate plane we find the graph shown below. Since there are 10 points between points A and B, we need to start at point A and then we have to move 11 units either to the right, to the left, up, or down .

1. MOVING TO THE RIGHT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the right to come to point B:

(-3+11, -1) = (8, -1)

2. MOVING TO THE LEFT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the left to come to point B:

(-3-11, -1) = (-14, -1)

3. MOVING UPWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically upward to come to point B:

(-3, -1+11) = (-3, 10)

4. MOVING DOWNWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically downward to come to point B:

(-3, -1-11) = (-3, -12)

So this are the basic movements you can get to find point B. You also can move diagonally upwards or downwards  in whose case you would find other four points. The graph below shows a red point which is A, and the other points are in black color and represent B.
