Answer: She has 68 25-cents stamps and 28 2-cents stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 25 cents stamps and y be the number of 2 cents stamps.

Then According to the question , we have

$x+y=88.............(1)\\\\25x+2y=1556...................(2)$

From (1), we have

$y=88-x ...........(3)$

Put value of y in (2), we get

$25x+2(88-x)=1556\\\\\Rightarrow\ 25x+176-2x=1556\\\\\Rightarrow\ 23x=1556-176\\\\\Rightarrow\ 23x= 1380\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1380}{23}=60$

From (3), we have

$y=88-60=28$

Hence, she has 60 25 cent stamps and 28 2 cents stamps.

Jim's work evaluating 2 (three-fifths) cubed is shown below. 2 (three-fifths) cubed = 2 (StartFraction 3 cubed Over 5 EndFractio

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5^3})$ and not $2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's work evaluating $2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}$ is shown:

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5})=2(\frac{3X3X3}{5})=2(\frac{27}{5})=\frac{54}{5}$

If you look at the Second step, the exponent is taken over only the numerator. It should have been taken over both the numerator and denominator as shown below.

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5^3})$

The correct workings therefore is:

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5^3})=2(\frac{3X3X3}{5X5X5})=2(\frac{27}{125})=\frac{54}{125}$

Three highways connect city A with city B. Two highways connect city B with city C.

QveST [7]

(a) The probability that there is no open route from A to B is (0.2)^3 = 0.008.
Therefore the probability that at least one route is open from A to B is given by: 1 - 0.008 = 0.992.
The probability that there is no open route from B to C is (0.2)^2 = 0.04.
Therefore the probability that at least one route is open from B to C is given by:
1 - 0.04 = 0.96.
The probability that at least one route is open from A to C is:
$0.992\times0.96=0.9523$

(b)
α The probability that at least one route is open from A to B would become 0.9984. The probability in (a) will become: $0.9984\times0.96=0.95846$

β The probability that at least one route is open from B to C would become 0.992. The probability in (a) will become:
$0.992\times0.992=0.9841$

Gamma: The probability that a highway between A and C will not be blocked in rush hour is 0.8. We need to find the probability that there is at least one route open from A to C using either a route A to B to C, or the route A to C direct. This is found by using the formula:
$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$
$0.9523+0.8-(0.9523\times0.8)=0.99$
Therefore building a highway direct from A to C gives the highest probability that there is at least one route open from A to C.

Let f(x)=−3x. The graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 u

deff fn [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

$g(x)=-12x+48$

Ques 2)

$g(x)=|3x|+4$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:

f(x) → a f(x)

Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:

f(x) → f(x+k)

where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left

and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.

Here the graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.

This means that the function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=4f(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=4(-3(x-4))\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12x+48$

Ques 2)

We know that the transformation of the type:

f(x) → f(x)+k

is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.

If k>0 then the shift is k units up.

and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.

Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.

This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=|3x|+4$

A quality-control inspector is testing a batch of printed circuit boards to see wheater they are capable of performing in a high

avanturin [10]

Answer:

see explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the null hypothesis is that the PCB survives against the alternate that the PCB 'does not survive'. The test says that the PCB will survice if it is classified as 'good'; or, it will not survive if it is classifies as 'bad'.

a. The Type II error is the error committed when a PCB which cannot actually survive is classified as 'good'.

b. Therefore P(Type II error) = P(The PCB is classified as 'good' | PCB does not survives) = 0.03.
