Answer:

179 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of guests = 240

35 ordered chicken ------ (#1)

12.5 of the remaining ordered gluten-free meals

Required

Number of guests yet to make order.

First, the number of guests after 35 made orders needs to be calculated...

Number of guests = 240 - 35

Number of guests = 205

Hence, there are 205 guests left

From the question, 12.5% of the remaining (205) also made gluten free meals order.

Number of guests = 12.5% * 205

Number of guests = 0.125 * 205

Number of guests = 25.625

Number of guests = 26 ------ (#2)

Hence, 26 guests made an order of gluten free meals.

Number of guests yet to make any order = Total guests - (#1) - (#2)

Number of guests = 240 - 35 - 26

Number of guests = 179

Hence, 179 guests are yet to make any order.

The number w and 0.8 are additive inverses.
umka2103 [35]

Since, the number w and 0.8 are additive inverses.

A number 'a' is said to have an additive inverse '-a' if "a+ (-a)= 0".

Since, 'w' and '0.8' are additive inverses of each other such that w + 0.8 = 0

Therefore, the value of 'w' should be '-0.8' so that -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.

So, the value of 'w' is =0.8

Now, Refer to the attached image which represents the position of 0.8 , w ( that is -0.8) and the sum of 0.8 and w.

Sum of 0.8 and w = 0.8 + w

= 0.8 +(-0.8)

= 0.

Given directed line segment QS , find the coordinates of R
Degger [83]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, what are the coordinates of point Q and R. But I would show how to solve this.

The location of a point O(x, y) which divides line segment AB in the ratio a:b with point A at (x_1,y_1) and B(x_2,y_2) is given by the formula:

x=\frac{a}{a+b}(x_2-x_1)+x_1\\ \\y=\frac{a}{a+b}(y_2-y_1)+y_1

If point Q is at (x_1,y_1) and S at (x_2,y_2)  and R(x, y) divides QS in the ratio QR to RS is 3:5, The coordinates of R is:

x=\frac{3}{3+5}(x_2-x_1)+x_1=\frac{3}{8}(x_2-x_1)+x_1\\ \\y=\frac{3}{3+5}(y_2-y_1)+y_1=\frac{3}{8}(y_2-y_1)+y_1

Let us assume Q(−9,4) and S(7,−4)

x=\frac{3}{8}(7-(-9))+(-9)=\frac{3}{8}(16)-9=-3\\\\y=\frac{3}{8}(-4-4)+4=\frac{3}{8}(-8)+4=1

. A manager has just received the expense checks for six of her employees. She randomly distributes the checks to the six employ
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

13,8%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are six employees and six cheks, so there are 36 (6x6) possible combinations so if we need to measure the probability that five of them receive the exact check  is only one for each one of them over the 36 possibilities, so 1/36 for one plus 1/36 the second and so on.  5/36 = 13,8%.

The local pizza shop sells several special items.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Tax for Italian Salad=$0.20

Tax for Lasagna= $0.43

Tax for  Spaghetti =$0.21

Tax for Fettuccini Alfredo   =$0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiple the price of each item by the tax percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

Italian Salad =$3.99  

  • Tax for Italian Salad= 3.99 x (5/100) = 3.99 x 0.05 =$0.20

Lasagna =$8.50  

  • Tax for Lasagna= 8.50 x (5/100) = 8.50 x 0.05 =$0.43

Spaghetti =$4.29  

  • Tax for Spaghetti = 4.29x (5/100) = 4.29 x 0.05 =$0.21

Fettuccini Alfredo =$7.17

  • Tax for Fettuccini Alfredo = 7.17 x (5/100) = 7.17 x 0.05 =$0.36

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

The average annual amount American households spend for daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amou
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) The standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed.

(a) It is stated that 5% of American households spend less than $1000 for daily transportation.

Let X = <u><em>the amount spent on daily transportation</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                          Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation = $6,312

           \sigma = standard deviation

Now, 5% of American households spend less than $1000 on daily transportation means that;

                      P(X < $1,000) = 0.05

                      P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma} ) = 0.05

                      P(Z < \frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma} ) = 0.05

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of below 5% is given as -1.645, this means;

                           \frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma}=-1.645                

                            \sigma=\frac{-\$5312}{-1.645}  = 3229.18

So, the standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is given by = P($4000 < X < $6000)

      P($4000 < X < $6000) = P(X < $6000) - P(X \leq $4000)

 P(X < $6000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{\$6000-\$6312}{\$3229.18} ) = P(Z < -0.09) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.09)

                                                            = 1 - 0.5359 = 0.4641

 P(X \leq $4000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{\$4000-\$6312}{\$3229.18} ) = P(Z \leq -0.72) = 1 - P(Z < 0.72)

                                                            = 1 - 0.7642 = 0.2358  

Therefore, P($4000 < X < $6000) = 0.4641 - 0.2358 = 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is given by;

                    P(X > x) = 0.03   {where x is the required range}

                    P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18} ) = 0.03

                    P(Z > \frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18} ) = 0.03

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of top 3% is given as 1.88, this means;

                           \frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18}=1.88                

                         {x-\$6312}=1.88\times 3229.18  

                          x = $6312 + 6070.86 = $12382.86

So, the range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.
