Hi, the answer is ;

Answer:

12 dimes and 27 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

.05N + .1d = 2.55

N= 3d - 9

0.05 (3d-9) + 0.1d = 2.55

0.15d - 0.45 + 0.1d = 2.55

0.25d = 2.55 + 0.45

0.25d = 3

D = 12

N = 3 (12) - 9

N = 36 - 9

N = 27

Rita makes and sells necklaces. The materials to make each necklace cost $2.75. Last week she made 8 necklaces and wants to make
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75. She should subtract 2.75 from x.

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75.

She should write the equation as 8 (x - 2.75) = 78; as she spends $2.75 to make a necklace.

By using the correct equation: 8 (x - 2.75) = 78

=> 8x - 22 = 78

=> 8x = 78 + 22

=> 8x = 100

=> x = 100/8

=> x = 12.5

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Hope this helps you.

Which of the following events are equal? (a) A = {1,3}; (b) B = {x | x is a number on a die }; (c) C = {x | x2 −4x +3=0 }; (d) D
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which events are equal, we explicitly define the elements in each set builder.

For event A

A={1.3}

for event B

B={x|x is a number on a die}

The possible numbers on a die are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Hence event B is computed as

B={1,2,3,4,5,6}

for event C

C=[x|x^{2}-4x+3]\\solving  x^{2}-4x+3\\x^{2}-4x+3=0\\x^{2}-3x-x+3=0\\x(x-3)-1(x-3)=0\\x=3 or x=1

Hence the set c is C={1,3}

and for the set D {x| x is the number of heads when six coins re tossed }

In the tossing a six coins it is possible not to have any head and it is possible to have head ranging from 1 to 6

Hence the set D can be expressed as

D={0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

In conclusion, when all the set are compared only set A and set C are equal

If the heights of 300 students are normally distributed with mean 68.0 inches and standard deviation 3.0 inches, how many studen
Lunna [17]
Given:
μ = 68 in, population mean
σ = 3 in, population standard deviation

Calculate z-scores for the following random variable and determine their probabilities from standard tables.

x = 72 in:
z = (x-μ)/σ = (72-68)/3 = 1.333
P(x) = 0.9088

x = 64 in:
z = (64 -38)/3 = -1.333
P(x) = 0.0912

x = 65 in
z = (65 - 68)/3 = -1
P(x) = 0.1587

x = 71:
z = (71-68)/3 = 1
P(x) = 0.8413

Part (a)
For x > 72 in, obtain
300 - 300*0.9088 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (b)
For x ≤ 64 in, obtain
300*0.0912 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (c)
For 65 ≤ x ≤ 71, obtain
300*(0.8413 - 0.1587) = 204.78

Answer: 204

Part (d)
For x = 68 in, obtain
z = 0
P(x) = 0.5
The number of students is
300*0.5 = 150

Answer: 150
