jack bought 4 rulers and 5 compasses for $18.92 altogether. If Jacks brother bought 2 rulers and 4 compasses for $14.98, what wa
love history [14]

Answer:

Price of each compass = $3.68

Price of each ruler = $0.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R denote rulers and C denotes compasses

Jack bought 4 rulers and 5 compasses for $18.92

which algebraically translates to

4R + 5C = 18.92   eq. 1

Jack's brother bought 2 rulers and 4 compasses for $14.98

which algebraically translates to

2R + 4C = 14.98   eq. 2

Now we have two equations and two unknowns R and C

Choose any of the above equation and make any of the unknown the subject of the equation.

Choosing eq. 1

4R + 5C = 18.92

4R = 18.92 - 5C

R = (18.92 - 5C)/4    eq. 3

Now put this value of R into eq. 2

2R + 4C = 14.98

2((18.92 - 5C)/4) +4C = 14.98

9.46 - 2.5C + 4C = 14.98

1.5C = 5.52

C = 5.52/1.5

C = 3.68

So the price of each compass is $3.68

We can verify whether our answer is right or not. First we have to find the cost of R

Put this value of C into eq. 3

R = (18.92 - 5C)/4

R = (18.92 - 5*3.68)/4

R = (18.92 - 18.4)/4

R = 0.52/4

R = 0.13

So the price of each ruler is $0.13

Now let us verify:

from eq. 1

4R + 5C = 18.92

4(0.13) + 5(3.68) = 18.92

0.52 + 18.4 = 18.92

18.92 = 18.92  (hence proved)

from eq. 2

2R + 4C = 14.98

2(0.13) + 4(3.68) = 14.98

0.26 + 14.72 = 14.98

14.98 = 14.98  (hence proved)

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a) P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z

b) P(X>48)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{48-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{48-46.8}{1.75})=P(z>0.686)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule, the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z>0.686)=1- P(Z

c) P(46.8-1.5*1.75

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.5

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

P(-1.5

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".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the velocities of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(46.8,1.75)  

Where \mu=46.8 and \sigma=1.75

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z

Part b

P(X>48)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{48-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{48-46.8}{1.75})=P(z>0.686)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule, the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z>0.686)=1- P(Z

Part c

P(46.8-1.5*1.75

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.5

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

P(-1.5

If EBC = 31a - 2 and EBH = 4a + 45 find HBC
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have that

The line BH bisects angle EBC,

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

then

m∠EBC=m∠EBH+m∠HBC

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

so

m∠EBC=2(m∠EBH)

substitute the given values and solve for a

31a-2=2(4a+45)\\31a-2=8a+90\\31a-8a=92\\23a=92\\a=4

<em>Find the measure of angle EBH</em>

m∠EBH=(4(4)+45)=61°

Remember that

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

therefore

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°
