Lets take Gregs weight as “x”. This means that Justins weight is x-15, and x/2 = (x-15)-75.

If we take that last equation, lets combine like terms:

x/2 = x - 15 - 75
x/2 = x - 90
Now multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction
x = 2x - 180
Subtract 2x from both sides
x - 2x = -180
-x = -180
x = 180 — this is Gregs weight

Justins weight is x-15, so 180-15, which is 165 pounds. Hope this helped.

5400 J of energy is supplied to 3 kg of aluminum, by how much
solmaris [256]

Answer:

20°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity if heat energy supplied is expressed as;

Q = mcΔt

m is the mass = 3kg

Δt is the temperature rise

Q = 5400J

c = 900 J/kg °C

Substitute

5400 = 3(90)Δt

5400 = 270Δt

Δt = 5400/270

Δt = 20°C

Hence the temperature rise is 20°C

Which of the following describes the graph of y = StartRoot negative 4 x minus 36 EndRoot compared to the parent square root fun
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

stretched by a factor of 2, reflected over the y-axis, and translated 9 units left

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is y=\sqrt{-4x-36}

We can rewrite this function by factoring -4 in the radicand to get:

y=\sqrt{-4(x+9)}

We further simplify the square root of 4 to get:

y=2\sqrt{-(x+9)

The parent function is y=\sqrt{x}

When we compare to the parent function, there is a stretch by a factor of 2, reflection over the y-axis, and translation 9 units left

The last option is correct

In choice situations of this type, subjects often exhibit the "center stage effect," which is a tendency to choose the item in t
victus00 [196]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The probability that he or she would choose the pair of socks in the center position is   p =\frac{1}{5}

The correct answer choice is

X has a binomial distribution with parameters n=100 and p=1/5  

b

The mean is  \mu = 20

The standard deviation is \sigma=4

c

The probability, P =0.0002

d

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.

Using the R the probability Pe = 0.0003

The probabilities P \approx Pe

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the person selects his or her desired pair of socks at random , then the probability that the person would choose the pair of socks in the center position from all the five identical pair is mathematically evaluated as

                  p =\frac{1}{5}

                    =0.2

The mean of this distribution is mathematical represented as

           \mu = np

substituting the value

         \mu = 100 * 0.2

             \mu = 20

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

         \sigma = \sqrt{np (1-p)}

substituting the value

           = \sqrt{100 * 0,2 (1-0.2)}

           \sigma=4

Applying normal approximation the probability that 34 or more subjects would choose the item in the center if each subject were selecting his or her preferred pair of socks at random would be mathematically represented as

               P=P(X \ge 34 )

By standardizing the normal approximation we have that

              P(X \ge 34) \approx P(Z \ge z)

Now z is mathematically evaluated as

               z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma }

Substituting values

             z = \frac{34-20}{4}

               =3.5

So  using the z table the P(Z \ge 3.5) is  0.0002

The probability P and Pe that 34 or more subject would choose the center pair is very small  So

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 s
asambeis [7]

The question is incomplete:

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 sweaters, $5 books. They want to buy 200 items and send them to schools in earthquake-hit areas. They must order as many books as school bags and sweaters combined. How many of each item should they order?

Answer:

They must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y+z=200 (1)

20x+25y+5z=2800 (2)

z=x+y (3), where:

x=amount of bags

y=amount of sweaters

z=amount of books

Now, you can replace (3) in (1) and (2):

x+y+x+y=200

2x+2y=200 (4)

20x+25y+5(x+y)=2800

20x+25y+5x+5y=2800

25x+30y=2800 (5)

Then, you will have 2 equations:

2x+2y=200 (4)

25x+30y=2800 (5)

You can isolate x in (4):

2x=200-2y

x=100-y (6)

After this, you can replace (6) in (5):

25(100-y)+30y=2800

2500-25y+30y=2800

5y=2800-2500

y=300/5

y=60

Next, you can replace the value of y in (6) to find the value of x:

x=100-60

x=40

Finally, you can replace the value of x and y in (3) to find the value of z:

z=40+60

z=100

According to this, the answer is that they must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.
