Answer:

J = 370g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the weight of the Jar with J and the sugar with S

Initially, we have:

J + S = 850g

After 2/3 of sugar is removed we have:

J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g

Required

Determine the weight of the jar

J + S = 850g --- (1)

J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g --- (2)

Simplify (2)

J + S -\frac{2S}{3}= 530g

Take LCM

J + \frac{3S - 2S}{3}= 530g

J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g

Make S the subject in (1)

J + S = 850g

S = 850g - J

Substitute 850g - J for S in J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g

J + \frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g

Multiply through by 3

3 * J + 3*\frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g * 3

3J + 850g - J= 1590g

Collect Like Terms

3J  - J= 1590g-850g

2J= 740g

Make J the subject

J = \frac{1}{2} * 740g

J = 370g

<em>The jar weighs 370g</em>

. For each of these intervals, list all its elements or explain why it is empty. a) [a, a] b) [a, a) c) (a, a] d) (a, a) e) (a,
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Elements are of the form

 (i) [a,a]=\{[x,y] : a\leq x\leq a, a\leq y\leq a; a\in \mathbb R\}

(ii) [a,b)=\{[x,y) :a\leq x

(iii)(a,a]=\{(x,y] :a

(iv)(a,a)=\{(x,y): a

(v) (a,b) where a>b=\{(x,y) : a>x>b,a>y>b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

(vi) [a,b] where a>b=\{[x,y] : a\geq x\geq b,a\geq y\geq b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given intervals are,

(i) [a,a] (ii) [a,a) (iii) (a,a] (iv) (a,a) (v) (a,b) where a>b (vi)  [a,b] where a>b.

To show all its elements,

(i) [a,a]

Imply the set including aa from left as well as right side.

Its elements are of the form.

\{[a,a] : a\in \mathbb R\}=\{[0,0],[1, 1],[-1,-1],[2,2],[-2,-2],[3,3],[-3,-3],........\}

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a,a].

(ii) [a,a)

This means given interval containing a by left and exclude a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

[ 1, 1),[-1,-1),[2,2),[-2,-2),[3,3),[-3,-3),........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers withis the set, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a.a).

(iii) (a,a]

It means the interval not taking a by left and include a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1],(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is (a,a].

(iv) (a,a)

Means given set excluding a by left as well as right.

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1),(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty, so is (a,a).

(v) (a,b) where a>b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which not take x and y by any side of the interval.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

(a,b)=\{(5,0),(5,1),(5,2).....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.

(vi) [a,b] where a\leq b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which include both x and y.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

[a,b]=\{[5,0],[5,1],[5,2].....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.

weqwewe [10]
If you add all the numbers to gather you get 20 you said the first two fruit tart chew and a jelly treat what you do after you add all the numbers together is you look at what you trying to find out you you are trying to find out the fruit tart chew and jelly treat so you have 4 jelly treats and 14 fruit tar chew you add them together and you get 18 next you divide 18 by 2 and you get 0.9 
so your answer is 0.9 
hope it helps and hope get an a i wish you the best of luck

The time for a professor to grade a student's homework in statistics is normally distributed with a mean of 12.6 minutes and a s
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

37.23% probability that randomly selected homework will require between 8 and 12 minutes to grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12.6, \sigma = 2.5

What is the probability that randomly selected homework will require between 8 and 12 minutes to grade?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 12 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8. So

X = 12

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{12 - 12.6}{2.5}

Z = -0.24

Z = -0.24 has a pvalue of 0.4052

X = 8

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{8 - 12.6}{2.5}

Z = -1.84

Z = -1.84 has a pvalue of 0.0329

0.4052 - 0.0329 = 0.3723

37.23% probability that randomly selected homework will require between 8 and 12 minutes to grade
