Two solutions of different concentrations of acid are mixed creating 40 mL of a solution that is 32% acid. One-quarter of the so

Sever21 [200]

Taking the 3 solutions as 3 different terms, we can create an equation as follows:

Solution 1 : 10mL with 20% acid
Solution 2 : 30mL with x% acid
Solution 3 : 40mL with 32% acid

Since solution 1 + solution 2 = solution 3, let us substitute the given values we have:

10(0.2) + 30(x) = 40(0.32)
2 + 30x = 12.8

To solve for the unknown concentration x, we subtract 2 from both sides:
2 + 30x - 2 = 12.8 - 2
30x = 10.8

Dividing both sides by 30:
30x/30 = 10.8/30
x = 0.36

Therefore the unknown solution is 36% acid.

6. Charlie can spend up to $8 on lunch. He wants to buy a tuna sandwich, a bottle of

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The maximum number of pounds of potato salad that Charlie can buy is 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

a ----> the cost of one tuna sandwich

b ----> the cost of a bottle of apple juice

c ----> the cost per pound of potato salad

x ----> pounds of potato salad

we have

$a=\$4.25$

$b=\$2.25$

$c=\$4.00/lb$

we know that

He wants to buy a tuna sandwich, a bottle of apple juice, and x pounds of potato salad and can spend up to $8

The inequality that represent this situation is

$a+b+cx \leq 8$

substitute the given values

$4.25+2.25+4.00x \leq 8$

Solve for x

Combine like terms

$6.50+4.00x \leq 8$

Subtract 6.50 both sides

$4.00x \leq 8-6.50$

$4.00x \leq 1.50$

Divide by 4 both sides

$x \leq 1.50/4.00$

$x \leq 0.375\ lbs$

therefore

The maximum number of pounds of potato salad that Charlie can buy is 0.375

Orange M&M’s: The M&M’s web site says that 20% of milk chocolate M&M’s are orange. Let’s assume this is true and set

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s.

The proportion of orange milk chocolate M&M’s is, p = 0.20.

The number of candies in a small bag of milk chocolate M&M’s is, n = 55.

The event of an milk chocolate M&M being orange is independent of the other candies.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameter n = 55 and p = 0.20.

The expected value of a Binomial random variable is:

$E(X)=np$

Compute the expected number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a bag of 55 candies as follows:

$E(X)=np$

$=55\times 0.20\\=11$

It is provided that in a randomly selected bag of milk chocolate M&M's there were 14 orange ones, i.e. the proportion of orange milk chocolate M&M's in a random bag was 25.5%.

This proportion is not surprising.

This is because the average number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a bag of 55 candies is expected to be 11. So, if a bag has 14 orange milk chocolate M&M’s it is not unusual at all.

All unusual events have a very low probability, i.e. less than 0.05.

Compute the probability of P (X ≥ 14) as follows:

$P(X\geq 14)=\sum\limits^{55}_{x=14}{{55\choose x}0.20^{x}(1-0.20)^{55-x}}$

$=0.1968$

The probability of having 14 or more orange candies in a bag of milk chocolate M&M’s is 0.1968.

This probability is quite larger than 0.05.

Thus, the correct option is (A).
