Bob has some 10 lb weights and some 3 lb weights. Together, all his weights add up to 50 lbs. If x represents the number of 3 lb

weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights, which equation can be used to find the number of each type of weight Bob has?

Total weight = 50 lb
x = number of 3-lb weights
y = number of 10-lb weights

weight of 3-lb weights = 3x
weight of 10-lb weights = 10y
total weight = 3x + 10y

equation
3x + 10y = 50

We flip a fair coin five times. For every heads you pay me $1 and for every tails I pay you $1. Let X denote the my net winning
TEA [102]

Answer:

The probability mass of X is 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

If we set the winning requirement of your heads and my tails then the occurring possibility of both is 1/2 or 0.5.

Hence let us make a graph and use the figures to calculate the all the probabilities of you getting a heads.

Where X represents the number of dollars won during the flip of the coin, probability of heads represent the chances of occurrence of the value and of winning the dollars.

The probability of winning start to drop as the winning amount increases.

       

     X                          0     1               2     3       4      5

Probability of Heads  0 0.50 0.25 0.13    0.06 0.03

The point guard of a basketball team has to make a decision about whether or not to shoot a three-point attempt or pass the ball
melamori03 [73]

the expected value for the 3 point shot = (3 * 0.30) + (0 * 0.70) = 0.90

the expected value for the 2 point shot = (2 * 0.48) + (0 * 0.52) = 0.96

the expected value for the 2 point shot is higher than the 3 point shot so he should pass the ball

A study analyzed the average yearly salt intake in the United States from 2012 thru 2017. The data is summarized in the table: Y
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of years since 2012

f(x) ---> is the total amount of salt ingested in grams

we have

f(x)=52.3x+3.548

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

The slope is equal to

m=52.3\ grams/ year

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

b=3,548\ grams

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context, the y-intercept is the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012

The exact value of the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012 is 3,554 grams (see the data in the table)

Compare the exact value with the y-intercept

3,554\ g\neq 3,548\ g

therefore

3,548 grams Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

A boy climbs to the top of a tree and sees his friend 100 feet from the base of the tree. If the tree is 25 feet tall, what is t
QveST [7]
It would be helpful to draw the figure for this system. We would see that a right triangle is made where the base is equal to 100 ft and the height is equal to 25 ft. Using trigonometric functions we can easily calculate for the angle as follows:

tan (theta) = 25 / 100
theta = 14.04 degrees

The area (A of a circle with a radius of ris given by the formula A = 772 and its diameter (d) is given by d = 27. Arrange the e
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

A = πr² ← r is the radius and r = \frac{1}{2} d ← d is the diameter

Hence

π (\frac{1}{2} d)² = A, that is

\frac{d^2\pi }{4} = A ( multiply both sides by 4 )

d²π = 4A ( divide both sides by π )

d² = \frac{4A}{\pi } ( take the square root of both sides )

d = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi } }
