To calculate the costs of a quart of strawberries and a quart of raspberries, use the two given condition to set-up an equation. Since two variables are unknown, it needs two equation to calculate the solution. Let x be the cost of a quart of strawberries and y as the cost of a quart of raspberries. So, 1st equation is 3x + 2y = 22, and 2nd equation is 5x + 4y = 39. Substitute one equation into the other by expressing one variable into another variable. Then, the answer is x = $3.5 and y = $5.75.

A direct variation function contains the points (2,14) and (4,38) which equation represents the function
Dmitry [639]
You are given two points on a line, and told that the function is "direct variation."  You can save a lot of time by recognizing that the y-intercept here is zero (0).  Thus, the line passes through the origin.

A line through (2,14) and (4,38) is NOT direct variation, because the line connecting those two points does NOT pass through the origin, and thus has a vertical intercept.

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 <em>X</em> is <em>N</em> (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.

(c) The middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the amount of sodium consumed.

The random variable <em>X</em> has an average value of, <em>μ</em> = 9.8 grams.

The standard deviation of <em>X</em> is, <em>σ</em> = 0.8 grams.

(a)

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

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

Thus, the distribution of <em>X</em> is <em>N</em> (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 (<em>X</em>) to <em>z</em>-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 <em>z</em> as follows:

P(-z

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

Compute the value of <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ 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.

A battery factory typically produces 12,000 batteries per day and uses 50 boxes for packing the batteries. If the number of boxe
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

25 more boxes is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

12000 batteries require 50 boxes. Let's find the unit rate.

That is, how many batteries are in each box??

That's 12,000/50!

12,000/50 = 240 batteries per box

Now, to find how many boxes we would need for 18,000 batteries, we will have to divide the total (18000) by 240(number of batteries per box). That is:

18,000/240 = 75 boxes

We would need 75 boxes to pack 18,000 batteries.

We want "how many MORE boxes needed", so we will the excess:

75 - 50 = 25 more boxes is needed

There are 345 students at a college who have taken a course in calculus, 212 who have taken a course in discrete mathematics, an
ollegr [7]

Answer:

369 students have taken a course in either calculus or discrete mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to build the Venn's diagram of these values.

I am going to say that:

A is the number of students who have taken a course in calculus.

B is the number of students who have taken a course in discrete mathematics.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the number of students who have taken a course in calculus but not in discrete mathematics and A \cap B is the number of students who have taken a course in both calculus and discrete mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

188 who have taken courses in both calculus and discrete mathematics.

This means that A \cap B = 188

212 who have taken a course in discrete mathematics

This means that B = 212

345 students at a college who have taken a course in calculus

This means that A = 345

How many students have taken a course in either calculus or discrete mathematics

(A \cup B) = A + B - (A \cap B) = 345 + 212 - 188 = 369

369 students have taken a course in either calculus or discrete mathematics
