This question is not correct because one of its options was not written correctly.

Correct question:

Jackie bought a 3-pack of tubes of glue. She used 0.27 ounce of the glue from the 3-pack

and had 1.35 ounces left in total. Which describes a way to determine the number of ounces

sold in each tube of glue?

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

b) Divide 1.35 by 3 and then subtract 0.27 from the quotient.

c) Subtract 0.27 from 1.35 and the divide the difference by 3.

d) Solve for w in the equation 3 (x - 0.27) = 1.35.

Answer:

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that 0.27 ounces of glue was sold from a 3 pack glue and we have 1.35 ounces of glue left in total.

The first step would be represent the 3 pack of glue as 3x where x represents each pack of the glue.

Therefore, mathematically, we have the Algebraic equation:

3x - 0.27 = 1.35..... Equation 1

This is because when we solve for x, we would be able to find the number of ounces sold in each tube.

Solving for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x = 1.35 + 0.27

3x = 1.62 ...... Equation 2

3x = The three pack tube containing the glue.

Where x represents each of the tubes.

This means, the three pack tube contained 1.62 ounces of glue.

To find out he amount of glue sold from each pack, we go back to our equation 2

3x = 1.62

x = 1.62 ÷ 3

x = 0.54 ounces.

This means from each tubes, 0.54 ounces of glue was sold.

Therefore, Option a) "Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35" is correct.

Both pyramids in the figure have the same base area as the prism. The ratio of the combined volume of the pyramids to the volum

defon

At first, I thought this was going to be a dog of a bear of a problem,
but then I fixated it with my steely burning gaze and it fell apart for me.

The volume of a pyramid is (1/3) (base area) (height)

Each of these pyramids has the same base area and the
same height, so ...

Volume of the lower pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)
Volume of the upper pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)

Combined volume of both pyramids = (2/3) (base area) (height) .

Now, how do the pyramids relate to the rectangular prism ?

Their base area is (length x width) of the prism, and
their height is (1/2 the height) of the prism.

From here, we'll work with the dimensions of the prism ... L, W, and H .

Combined volume of the pyramids = (2/3) (L x W) (1/2 H)

= (1/3) (L x W x H) .

Volume of the prism = (L x W x H)

The pyramids occupy 1/3 the volume of the prism.

The ratio is 1/3 .

A person invests 9500 dollars in a bank. The bank pays 5.75% interest compounded quarterly. To the nearest tenth of a year, how

sweet [91]

Answer:

4.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Future value is the sum of amount invested and its compounded interest for a specific period of time and on a specific interest rate.

Investment = Present value = $9,500

Future value = $12,600

To find the numbers of years we will use following formula

Future value = Present value x ( 1 + r )^n

r = interest rate = 5.75%

n = number of periods = ?

Placing values in the formula

$12,600 = $9,500 x ( 1 + 5.75%/4 )^n

$12,600 / $9,500 = 1.014375^n

1.3263 = 1.014375^n

Log 1.3263 = n log 1.014375

n = Log 1.3263 / log 1.014375

n = 19.7856 Quarters

n = 4.9 years

Use the appropriate normal distribution to approximate the resulting binomial distributions. A convenience store owner claims th

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

0.9256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a convenience store owner claims that 55% of the people buying from her store, on a certain day of the week, buy coffee during their visit

Let X be the number of customers who buy from her store, on a certain day of the week, buy coffee during their visit

X is Binomial (35, 0.55)

since each customer is independent of the other and there are two outcomes.

By approximation to normal we find that both np and nq are >5.

So X can be approximated to normal with mean = np = 19.25

and std dev = $\sqrt{npq} \\=2.943$

Required probability = prob that fewer than 24 customers in the sample buy coffee during their visit on that certain day of the week

= $P(X$ (after effecting continuity correction)

= 0.9256

(Ross 5.15) If X is a normal random variable with parameters µ " 10 and σ 2 " 36, compute (a) PpX ą 5q (b) Pp4 ă X ă 16q (c) PpX

pochemuha

Answer:

(a) 0.7967

(b) 0.6826

(d) 0.9525

(e) 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X follows a Normal distribution with mean μ = 10 and variance σ² = 36.

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 5) as follows:

$P(X>5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{5-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>-0.833)\\=P(Z$

Thus, the value of P (X > 5) is 0.7967.

(b)

Compute the value of P (4 < X < 16) as follows:

$P(4$

Thus, the value of P (4 < X < 16) is 0.6826.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X < 8) as follows:

$P(X$

Thus, the value of P (X < 8) is 0.3707.

(d)

Compute the value of P (X < 20) as follows:

$P(X$

Thus, the value of P (X < 20) is 0.9525.

(e)

Compute the value of P (X > 16) as follows:

$P(X>16)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{16-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>1)\\=1-P(Z$

Thus, the value of P (X > 16) is 0.1587.
