Betty's bite-size candies are packaged in bags. The number of candies per bag is normally distributed, with a mean of 50 candies

and a standard deviation of 3. At a quality control checkpoint, a sample of bags is checked, and 4 bags contain fewer than 47 candies. How many bags were probably taken as samples?

47 = 50 - 3   or:
47 = Mean - 1 Standard deviation
For normal distribution it means that 4 bags represent 16 % of all samples.
4 bags  ------ 16%
x bags  ------ 100 %
---------------------------
4 * 100 = x * 16
16 x = 400
x = 400 : 16
x = 25
Answer: 25 bags were probably taken as samples.

The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:

R1 = P(1.05)^t,

This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:

$P×1.05^t.

If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:

R2 = $P(1 + 20).

The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;

R1 = R2.

P×1.05^t = P(1+20)

P will cancel out

1.05^t = 21

Log both sides

Log1.05^t = Log21

tLog1.05 = Log21

t = Log21/Log1.05

t = 64 years

The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.

Without using technology, describe the end behavior of f(x) = −3x4 + 7x2 − 12x + 13.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

11 over 13

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you deal with multiplication;

x = -12 + 14 - 12x + 13

second, deal with addition;

x = -2 - 12x + 13

third, take -12 to the other side then the negative changes to positive;

12x + x = -2 + 13

fourth, add them then simplify;

13x = 11

ans is 11 over 13

You used p minutes one month on your cell phone. The next month you used 75 fewer minutes. Simplify the expression.
Anestetic [448]
Hi there!

Let's assume that one month is represented by the variable 'm', the amount of minutes you started with is 's', and minutes you spent is 'p'.

So, one month can be represented as 'm=s-p'.

The next month is a bit more tricky. This will incorporate 75 less minutes into the equation. 'm=s-75' can be used to represent this, as we assume that you didn't use any minutes in the first month, and that p=75 in this case.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one, as well as to move up in rank! :)
