Answer:

The total weight of the three fishes is 8lb and 13oz

Step-by-step explanation:

2lb 4oz + 1lb 11oz + 4lb + 14 = 7lb 29oz

Remember, there are 16 ounces (oz) in a pound (lb).

So 29oz - 16 oz would be 13oz and the answer would be 8lb and 13 oz.

Hope this helps, can you please mark me brainliest because I just need 4 more brainliest to become expert:)

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$58,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Commission on Sales upto and including $40,000 = 5%

Commission on Sales above $40,000 = 10%

Total commission = $3,860

Now,

For sales of $40,000

maximum commission = 5% of $40,000

= $2,000

Since the commission received is greater than $2,000

Therefore,

The value of s is greater than $40,000

Thus

Amount qualifying for 10% commission = s - $40,000

therefore,

Total commission = $2,000 + 10% of (s - $40,000)

$3,860 = $2,000 + 0.10 × (s - $40,000)

$1,860 = 0.10 × (s - $40,000)

s - $40,000 = $18,600

s = $18,600 + $40,000

s = $58,600

An up-and-coming artist has 85 followers on Twitter and this number doubles every week. In what week will the artist first reach

Alik [6]

Answer:

5.8 , which approximately is 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

the first method is the short one since u just have to double the 85 then divide to 1000.

1000 ÷ ( 85 × 2)

1000 ÷ 170 = 5.882,,,,,. round off to whole number to get 6.

the second method is the addition method.

we start by 85 then keep doubling 85 for every week........inshort.......we add 170 to each weeks number to get the number of followers for the following week.

85 ⇒ 170 ⇒ 340 ⇒ 510 ⇒ 680 ⇒ 850 ⇒ 1020.

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th week.

u notice that we add (85×2), 170, to get the following week's number of followers..

in 5 weeks..... the number of followers is yet to get to 1000.

when u divide, u get 5.8.....,and it is not logic to say 5.8823....weeks

since she reaches 1000 followers in the 6th week.......though there is an addition,,,, it is the most appropriate answer.

Suppose that a system of linear equations has 3×5 augmented matrix whose 5th column is a pivot column. Is the system consistent?

Anon25 [30]

No, the system is inconsistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the last column is a pivot column, then that row gives an equation that looks something like 0x+0y+0z=1 , meaning , 0=1. Clearly, this is false.

So, the system of linear equations is inconsistent.

The average American man consumes 9.8 grams of sodium each day. Suppose that the sodium consumption of American men is normally

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of X is N (9.8, 0.8²).

(b) The probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the amount of sodium consumed.

The random variable X has an average value of, μ = 9.8 grams.

The standard deviation of X is, σ = 0.8 grams.

(a)

It is provided that the sodium consumption of American men is normally distributed.

The random variable X follows a normal distribution with parameters μ = 9.8 grams and σ = 0.8 grams.

Thus, the distribution of X is N (9.8, 0.8²).

(b)

If X ~ N (µ, σ²), then $Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ , is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is, Z ~ N (0, 1).

To compute the probability of Normal distribution it is better to first convert the raw score (X) to z-scores.

Compute the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day as follows:

$P(8.8$

$=P(-1.25$

Thus, the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

(c)

The probability representing the middle 30% of American men consuming sodium between two weights is:

$P(x_{1}$

Compute the value of z as follows:

$P(-z$

The value of z for P (Z < z) = 0.65 is 0.39.

Compute the value of x₁ and x₂ as follows:

$-z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\-0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8-(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=9.488\\x_{1}\approx9.5$ $z=\frac{x_{2}-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8+(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=10.112\\x_{1}\approx10.1$

Thus, the middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.
