Assume that Chris began with m dollars in his pocket.

Half of that, or m/2, went to purchase a pair of headphones.

Half of that, or (1/2)(m/2), or m/4, went to purchasing CDs.  By now Chris has spent (1/2 + 1/4) of his money:  (3/4)m.  He had (1/4)m left, and that (m/4) = $12.75.

Solve this for m:
         $12.75
m = ------------ = $5 (answer).    
            (1/4)

rosijanka [135]

First solve the original number of pictures. The original number of picture is 108 + 32 – 13 which is equal to 127 pictures. Then solve the size of each picture,

12021.1 kb / 13 pic = 924.7 kb / pic

So the original storage is 127 pic ( 924.7 kb / pic) = 117,436.9 kb

The XO Group Inc. conducted a survey of 13,000 brides and grooms married in the United States and found that the average cost of
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a) 0.0392

b) 0.4688

c) At least $39,070 to be among the 5% most expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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 = 29858, \sigma = 5600

a. What is the probability that a wedding costs less than $20,000 (to 4 decimals)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 20000. So

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

Z = \frac{20000 - 29858}{5600}

Z = -1.76

Z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392.

So this probability is 0.0392.

b. What is the probability that a wedding costs between $20,000 and $30,000 (to 4 decimals)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 30000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20000.

X = 30000

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

Z = \frac{30000 - 29858}{5600}

Z = 0.02

Z = 0.02 has a pvalue of 0.5080.

X = 20000

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

Z = \frac{20000 - 29858}{5600}

Z = -1.76

Z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392.

So this probability is 0.5080 - 0.0392 = 0.4688

c. For a wedding to be among the 5% most expensive, how much would it have to cost (to the nearest whole number)?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So this is X when Z = 1.645.

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 29858}{5600}

X - 29858 = 5600*1.645

X = 39070

The wedding would have to cost at least $39,070 to be among the 5% most expensive.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: He cannot see a ship that is 4.5 miles away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

d=3\sqrt{h}

Here, h is the eye level above the water

d is the distance away.

If h = 12 feet

We will get :

d=3\sqrt{12}\\\\d=3\times 2\sqrt{3}\\\\d=6\sqrt{3}\\\\d=10.39

Hence, it is 10.39 feet away when eye level is 12 feet above the water.

Therefore , he cannot see a ship that is 4.5 miles away.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The solutions for 3 questions are explained one after the other below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1).Let x be the number of paperback books that she buys,  y be the number of hardback books that she buys.

for the first condition, i.e, she has decided to spend at most $150.00 on books,the required inequality will be :

8x+12y\leq 150

for the second condition , i.e, she wants to purchase at least 12 books,

the required inequality will be:

x+y\geq 12

2). the graph is in the attachment..

3). x,y are the two required solutions. where,

x =number of paperback books she buys.

y=number of hardback books she buys.
