Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the unit price of Brand A: 54 ounces = 3.375 pounds; 4.89/3.375 is approximately $1.45 per pound. Calculate the unit price of Brand B: 2 3/4 = 2.75; 3.91/2.75 is approximately $1.42 per pound. Calculate the unit price of Brand C: 910 grams is approximately 2 pounds; 3.10/2 is approximately $1.50 per pound. Comparing the unit prices, Brand B has the cheaper unit price.

Convert all to lb and find cost per 1lb

A.
54oz, convert to lb
54/16=3.375lb
find per lb
4.89/3.375=$1.4488888 per lb

B.
2 and 3/4=2.75, 3.91/2.75=$1.42181 per lb

C. 910/453.59=2.00621lb
3.10/2.00621=$1.545 per lb

compare
A: $1.4488888 per lb

B: $1.42181 per lb

C: $1.545 per lb

B is cheapest, followed by A then C

B is best buy

Mikayla is training for a half-marathon. At the beginning of her training, she is able to run 2 miles without stopping. Her goal

ivanzaharov [21]

Alright, lets get started.

At the beginning of her training, she is able to run 2 miles without stopping means 2 will be in the addition when we will write the equation for her running miles.

Her goal is to increase her distance by three quarters of a mile each week.

Means in first week, she will add the distance = $\frac{3}{4}$ miles

Suppose she runs x weeks, so shee will add distance = $\frac{3}{4}x$

So, suppose she runs total number of miles = d, then

$d = 2 + \frac{3}{4}x$

Where d is total numer of miles she runs

x is number of weeks : Answer

Hope it will help :)

suter [353]

Answer:

$5\sqrt{10}\ units$

5 StartRoot 10 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The legs of a 45°-45°-90° triangle are congruent

Let

x ----> the length of one leg of the triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the hypotenuse

a and b are the legs

we have

$c=10\sqrt{5}\ units$

$a=b=x\ units$

substitute

$(10\sqrt{5})^2=x^2+x^2$

$500=2x^2\\x^2=250\\x=\sqrt{250}\ units$

Simplify

$x=5\sqrt{10}\ units$

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
