Answer:

Option D is correct.

There are 34 nickels in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

A piggy bank contains pennies, nickels and dimes.

Let the number of pennies be p

Let the number of nickels be n

Let the number of dimes be d

Also, note that 1 penny = $0.01

1 nickel = $0.05

1 dime = $0.10

- The number of dimes is 15 more than the number of nickels.

d = 15 + n

- There are 140 coins altogether totaling $7.17.

p + n + d = 140

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

Bringing the 3 equations together

d = 15 + n (eqn 1)

p + n + d = 140 (eqn 2)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17 (eqn 3)

Substitute (eqn 1) into (eqn 2)

p + n + d = 140

p + n + (15 + n) = 140

p + 2n + 15 = 140

p = 140 - 15 - 2n = 125 - 2n

p = 125 - 2n (eqn 4)

Substitute (eqn 1) and (eqn 4) into (eqn 3)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

0.01(125 - 2n) + 0.05n + 0.1(15 + n) = 71.7

1.25 - 0.02n + 0.05n + 1.5 + 0.1n = 7.17

0.1n + 0.05n - 0.02n + 1.5 + 1.25 = 7.17

0.13n + 2.75 = 7.17

0.13n = 7.17 - 2.75 = 4.42

0.13n = 4.42

n = (4.42/0.13) = 34

d = 15 + n = 15 + 34 = 49

p = 125 -2n = 125 - (2×34) = 125 - 68 = 57

Hence, there are 57 pennies, 34 nickels and 49 dimes in the piggy bank.

Hope this Helps!!!

Use the fact that the variance of a Poisson distribution is σ2=μ. The mean number of bankruptcies filed per hour by businesses i
lianna [129]

Answer:

Variance = 5

Standard deviation = 2.236

0.2650257

Step-by-step explanation:

For a Poisson distribution is σ² = μ.

Given that:

Mean , μ of bankruptcies files per hour = 5

μ = 5

For a Poisson distribution :

P(x = x) = (μ^x * e^-μ) / x!

The Variance and standard deviation :

Variance : σ² = μ = 5

Standard deviation = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(5) = 2.236

B.) Find the probability that at most three businesses will file bankruptcy in any given hour.

P( x ≤ 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

P(x = 0) = (5^0 * e^-5) / 0! = 0.0067379

P(x = 1) = (5^1 * e^-5) / 1! = 0.0336897

P(x = 2) = (5^2 * e^-5) / 2! = 0.0842243

P(x = 3) = (5^3 * e^-5) / 3! = 0.1403738

0.0067379 + 0.0336897 + 0.0842243 + 0.1403738

= 0.2650257

World wind energy generating1 capacity, W , was 371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}

b) Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year 2018

Step-by-step explanation:

The world wind energy generating capacity can be modeled by the following function

W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which W(t) is the wind energy generating capacity in t years after 2014, W(0) is the capacity in 2014 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of approximately 16.8%.

This means that

W(0) = 371, r = 0.168

(a) Give a formula for W , in gigawatts, as a function of time, t , in years since the end of 2014 . W= gigawatts

W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}

W(t) = 371(1+0.168)^{t}

W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}

(b) When is wind capacity predicted to pass 600 gigawatts? Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year?

This is t years after the end of 2014, in which t found when W(t) = 600. So

W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}

600 = 371(1.168)^{t}

(1.168)^{t} = \frac{600}{371}

(1.168)^{t} = 1.61725

We have that:

\log{a^{t}} = t\log{a}

So we apply log to both sides of the equality

\log{(1.168)^{t}} = \log{1.61725}

t\log{1.168} = 0.2088

0.0674t = 0.2088

t = \frac{0.2088}{0.0674}

t = 3.1

It will happen 3.1 years after the end of 2014, so during the year of 2018.

dsp73

Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph from which the information is to be read is attached below.

We want to find the value of −3⋅f(−8)+7⋅g(2).

From the graph:

  • f(-8)=-2
  • g(2)=-4

Therefore:

−3⋅f(−8)+7⋅g(2)=−3(-2)+7(-4)

=6-28

=-22

−3⋅f(−8)+7⋅g(2)=-22
