Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Ali and mo share a sum of money in the ratio ali : mo = 9 : 7 .
Ali receives 600 more than mo .

And we need to find out how much each receives .Let us take that

Mo received x .
Ali will get x + 600.

According to the Question :-

$\implies \dfrac{9}{7}=\dfrac{x+600}{x}\\\\\implies 9x = 7x + 4200 \\\\\implies 2x = 4200 \\\\\implies x = 2100$

Therefore :-

Ali = x+600 = 2700
Mo = x = 2100

The population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with a mean of 30.05 inches and a standard dev

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

(a) Probability that a sheet selected at random from the population is between 30.25 and 30.65 inches long = 0.15716

(b) Probability that a standard normal random variable will be between .3 and 3.2 = 0.3814

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with;

Mean, $\mu$ = 30.05 inches and Standard deviation, $\sigma$ = 0.2 inches

Let X = A sheet selected at random from the population

Here, the standard normal formula is ;

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

(a) The Probability that a sheet selected at random from the population is between 30.25 and 30.65 inches long = P(30.25 < X < 30.65)

P(30.25 < X < 30.65) = P(X < 30.65) - P(X <= 30.25)

P(X < 30.65) = P( $\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{30.65 - 30.05}{0.2}$ ) = P(Z < 3) = 1 - P(Z >= 3) = 1 - 0.001425

= 0.9985

P(X <= 30.25) = P( $\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ <= $\frac{30.25 - 30.05}{0.2}$ ) = P(Z <= 1) = 0.84134

Therefore, P(30.25 < X < 30.65) = 0.9985 - 0.84134 = 0.15716 .

(b) Let Y = Standard Normal Variable is given by N(0,1)

Which means mean of Y = 0 and standard deviation of Y = 1

So, Probability that a standard normal random variable will be between 0.3 and 3.2 = P(0.3 < Y < 3.2) = P(Y < 3.2) - P(Y <= 0.3)

P(Y < 3.2) = P( $\frac{Y - \mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{3.2 - 0}{1}$ ) = P(Z < 3.2) = 1 - P(Z >= 3.2) = 1 - 0.000688

= 0.99931

P(Y <= 0.3) = P( $\frac{Y - \mu}{\sigma}$ <= $\frac{0.3 - 0}{1}$ ) = P(Z <= 0.3) = 0.61791

Therefore, P(0.3 < Y < 3.2) = 0.99931 - 0.61791 = 0.3814 .

Carmen lives in Maine and pays 5% in sales tax. She just bought $70 in

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Carmen pays 5% tax on everything she buys, and has made a purchase of $ 70.

But they also tell us that there is $ 25 of that purchase that will not be charged with taxes.

Therefore, what will be charged with taxes will be:

70-25 = 45

Now we must know how much is 5% of 45 and that we can find out by multiplying 45 by 0,05:

45.0,05 = 2,25

Now that we know that the tax was 2.25, we just have to add it to the total purchase to find out how much Carmen paid:

2.25 + 70 = 72.25

Therefore, the total value of the purchase is 72.25.

dangina [55]

5 hours + 4 hours = 9 hours
30 minutes + 45 minutes =75 minutes
60 minutes in an hour, so 75 minutes =1 hour and 15 minutes, or 1.25 hours
9 hours + 1.25 hours =10.25 hours or 10 hours and 15 minutes.

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (2,3) and (-3,8).

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$m = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points (2,3) and (-3,8)

Required

Determine the gradient

Gradient (m) is calculated by dividing the change in y values by the change in x values.

i.e.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where:

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-3,8)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ becomes

$m = \frac{8 - 3}{-3 -2}$

$m = \frac{5}{-5}$

$m = -1$

Hence, the gradient is -1
