Peter is at a lumber yard. He gets 2 free boxes of nails for every 10 boards he buys. Write an expression for the number of boxe

s of nails Peter will get if he buys n boards. If each box has 100 nails, explain how to write an expression to find how many nails Peter will have if he purchases 90 boards.

A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

    N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em>   N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

     N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
     N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800

The exact answer is:

The algebraic expression n/10, where n is the number of boards, represents the number of times he gets 2 free boxes of nails. So 2(n/10), or n/5, is the number of boxes, and 100(n/5), or 20n, is the number of nails. Substituting 90 in for n,

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The probability that Albert's sample of 64 will have a mean between 13.5 and 16.5 minutes is 0.9973.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Let X the random variable that represent interest on this case, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu=15,\sigma=4)  

And let \bar X represent the sample mean, the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

On this case  \bar X \sim N(15,\frac{4}{\sqrt{64}})

Solution to the problem

We are interested on this probability

P(13.5  

If we apply the Z score formula to our probability we got this:

P(13.5

=P(\frac{13.5-15}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{64}}}

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-3

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-3

The probability that Albert's sample of 64 will have a mean between 13.5 and 16.5 minutes is 0.9973.

A marketing firm wants to estimate how much root beer the average teenager drinks per year. A previous study found a standard de
Verdich [7]

Answer:

At least 832 teenargers must be interviewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many teenagers must the firm interview in order to have a margin of error of at most 0.1 liter when constructing a 99% confidence interval

At least n teenargers must be interviewed.

n is found when M = 0.1.

We have that \sigma = 1.12

So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.1 = 2.575*\frac{1.12}{\sqrt{n}}

0.1\sqrt{n} = 2.575*1.12

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*1.12}{0.1}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*1.12}{0.1})^{2}

n = 831.7

Rounding up

At least 832 teenargers must be interviewed.

sarah has a solid wooden cube with a length of 4/5 centimeter. from eaxh of its 8 corners, she cuts out a smaller cube with a le
faltersainse [42]
First, calculate for the volume of the cube before each edges are cut.
                                    V = e³
where e is the length of each sides. Substituting the known value,
                                   V = (4/5 cm)³ = 0.512 cm³

Then, calculate for the volume of each of the small cubes cut out from the corners.
                                   V = (1/5 cm)³ = 0.008 cm³
Since there are 8 of these small cube, we multiply the volume by 8.
                                       8V = 8(0.008 cm³) = 0.064 cm³

Then, subtracting the volumes will give us an answer of <em>0.448 cm³</em>

An ostrich can run 6 mph faster than a giraffe. An ostrich can run 7 miles in the same time that a giraffe can run 6 miles. Find
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

NOTE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:

Let t = time, s = ostrich, and g = giraffe.

Here's what we know:

s = g + 5 (an ostrich is 5 mph faster than a giraffe)

st = 7 (in a certain amount of time, an ostrich runs 7 miles)

gt = 6 (in the same time, a giraffe runs 6 miles)

 

We have a value for s, so plug it into the first equation:

(g + 5)t = 7

gt = 6

 

Isolate g so that we can plug that variable value into the equation:

g = 6/t

so that gives us:

(6/t + 5)t = 7

Distribute:

6 + 5t = 7

Subtract 6:

5t = 1

Divide by 5:

t = 1/5 of an hour (or 12 minutes)

 

Now that we have a value for time, we can plug them into our equations:

1/5 g = 6

multiply by 5:

g = 30 mph

 

s = 30 + 5

s = 35 mph

 

Check by imputing into the second equation:

st = 7

35 * 1/5 = 7

7 = 7
