A local bakery sells 18 bagels for $12.99. How many bagels can be purchased for $20? Round down to the nearest whole bagel.

1 answer:

3 0

You can buy 5 more bagels because if you divide 18 by $12.99 you get 1.385, which would be the price of each bagel. Then you will have about $7.01 left. Now divide $7.01 by 1.385 and it will give you 5.06 bagels. Therefore 18 bagels plus 5 bagels is 23 bagels and so you can buy 23 bagels in total.

Let's start first by writing down the given:
σ = 100
sample mean = 450
sample size = 25

These information, plus the fact that we know that the population is approximately normally distributed, would tell us that we can use the normal distribution curve in analyzing the problem.

A confidence interval of the mean is just a range statistically estimated to contain the population mean. For a 90% confidence interval, we would look at the Z-table and see where 90% of the data falls. We'll notice that it will fall within 1.645 standard deviations of the mean.

Next, we look for the standard error of the mean. This will have a formula
$error= \frac{standard deviation of population}{ \sqrt{N} }$

The standard error would just therefore be equal to
$\frac{100}{ \sqrt{25} }= \frac{100}{5} =20$

Lastly, we just get the product of the standard error and 1.645 and add it to 450 for the maximum value and subtract it to 450 for the minimum value.
$450-20(1.645)=417.1$
$450+20(1.645)=482.9$

ANSWER: 417.1<μ<482.9

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

3m = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

9 + 12m = 6 + 15(m - 1)

9 + 12m = 6 + 15m - 15

3m = 18

A rock is thrown in the air from the edge of a seaside cliff. Its height in feet is represented by f(x) = –16(x^2 – 8x – 9), whe

algol13

Since x is the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, x is the value that we are looking for. When the rock hits the water, it's height is 0, therefore, f(x) = 0. So, we can set the expression on the right equal to 0, and solve for 0. Let's do just that:
$0 = -16(x^2-8x-9)$

We can divide by -16, nothing will happen because 0 divided by anything is 0:
$0 = x^2-8x-9$

To factor any trinomial in standard form (given below), we must find two numbers that add to "b" and multiply to "c":
$0 = ax^2 + bx + c$

So, for this specific question, let's find two numbers that add to -8 and multiply to 9. These are clearly 9 and -1. We can write it in this way now:
$0 = (x-9)(x+1)$

Both answers would be valid, but there can't be negative time, so your answer is "It takes 9 seconds for the rock to reach the water."

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

t: number of hours

F (t): total charge

We write the function that models the problem:
