Suppose you receive a postcard from a good friend with a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The postcard is 3.5

inches high and 5.5 inches wide. The fine print on the postcard states that the scale of the picture is 1:19,600. Based on the scale, what's the actual length of the Golden Gate Bridge?

Answer:

Actual length of the Bridge = 8983.33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 1 unit = 19,600.

Height of the postcard is 3.5 inches.

So, original height of the bridge = 3.5 × 19,600 = 68,600 inches

= 5716.67 feet

Width of the postcard is 5.5 inches.

So, original width of the bridge = 5.5 × 19,600 = 107,800 inches

= 8983.33 feet

Find the values of a through e that make these two relations inverses of each other. a = b = c = d = e = An image shows 2 tables
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a = -3.8

b = -2.6

c = 1.7

d = 4.4

e = 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the tables are shown.

In an inverse relationship, any point (x,y) in one table is transformed to (y,x) in the other one. For example, in Table A coordinate (1, 2) is present, then in Table B (the inverse), coordinate (2, 1) must be present.

A local company makes snack-size bags of potato chips. Each day, the company produces batches of 400 snack-size bags using a pro
ioda

Answer:

Probability that a sample of 40 bags has an average weight of at least 2.02 ounces is 0.103.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the company produces batches of 400 snack-size bags using a process designed to fill each bag with an average of 2 ounces of potato chips. Assume the amount placed in each of the 400 bags is normally distributed and has a standard deviation of 0.1 ounce.

Also, sample of 40 bags are selected.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample average weight</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by ;

                Z = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean weight of potato chips = 2 ounces

            \sigma = standard deviation = 0.1 ounces

            n = sample of bags = 40

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, the probability that a sample of 40 bags has an average weight of at least 2.02 ounces is given by = P(\bar X \geq 2.02 ounces)

   P(\bar X \geq 2.02) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \geq \frac{2.02-2}{\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z \geq 1.265) = 1 - P(Z < 1.265)

                                                      = 1 - 0.89707 = 0.103

<em>The above probability is calculated using z table by looking at value of x = 1.265 which will lie between x = 1.26 and x = 1.27 in the z table which have an area of 0.89707.</em>

<em />

Therefore, probability that a sample of 40 bags has an average weight of at least 2.02 ounces is 0.103.

Use exponential form to evaluate log8(2)
maks197457 [2]
<span>Logarithm form is another way to express a number in exponential (exp.) form. log 8 (2) is the same as 8 (x) = 2 or in words, eight with exp. x equals two. If we take that equation and cube both sides, or raise each side to the power of 3, [8 (x)] with exp. 3 = 2 with exp. 3. This simplifies to 8 (3x) = 8. By definition, 8 is the same as 8 with exp. 1. So the equation is now 8 (3x) = 8 (1). This means 3x = 1. We can simplify to x = 1/3.</span>

Each of three colored cups covers one of three objects. 1) The red cup is somewhere to the left of the white cup. 2) The coin is
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Shell is under Red color cup

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 cups and 3 objects which they cover under them.

Taking into consideration (4) and (2) as they both describe the position related to bean

(4) Gray cup  →Bean (right)     (2) coin ← bean (left)  

that means coin can either under Gray cup or left to gray cup.

Now

(1) Red ← White (left)  (3) Shell → Gray  (right)

This means if we consider coin to be left of gray cup then we can't place shell to the left of gray cup as required in (3)

so coin will be under gray cup

on forming the Color of cups and the coin below them

C1             C2         C3

Red       Gray      White

 __           __          __

Shell        coin        Bean

So Shell is under Red color cup

A Grocery store offers a cheese sampler that includes a pepper cheddar cheese that cost $15 per kilogram and Pennsylvania jack t
Len [333]

Answer:

1.5 kg of pepper cheddar cheese and 4.5 kg of Pennsylvania jack was used in the mixture.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Pepper Cheddar cheese  = $15 per kilogram

Pennsylvania jack = $11 per kilogram

The cheese sampler includes a  Pepper Cheddar cheese and a Pennsylvania jack that cost $15 per kilogram and $11 per kilogram respectively.

The mixture = 6 kg

Let

a = kg of the pepper cheddar cheese

b = kg of the Pennsylvania jack

a + b = 6............(i)

Rate

15a + 11b/6 = 12

15a + 11b = 72.............(ii)

Combine the equation

a + b = 6............(i)

15a + 11b = 72.............(ii)

a = 6 - b

15(6 - b) + 11b = 72

90 - 15b + 11b = 72

90 - 72 = 15b - 11b

18  = 4b

divide both sides by 4

b = 18/4

b = 4.5 kg

insert the value of b in equation (i)

a + b = 6............(i)

a = 6 - 4.5

a = 1.5 kg  

1.5 kg of pepper cheddar cheese and 4.5 kg of Pennsylvania jack was used in the mixture.
