Answer:

4.75 or round up to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

if each pie has 8 slices, then you must do 8+8+8... and so on until u reach 38. However you wont get exactly 38 because 8 doesn't add up evenly into 38. You can find the exact number by divding the amount of people, 38, by the number of slices per pie, 8. The answer will be 4.75 but you can not buy a fraction of a pie so you must round up to 5 whole pies. There will be extra left over in the end, but you cant round down because 4 pies would not be enough, so you must buy 5.

Farmers often sell fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets during the summer. Each tomato stand at the Bentonville farmers’ ma
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the random variable X= number of tomatoes that are demanded,  is normally distributed we can make the standard random variable Z such that:

Z=(X-μ)/σ = (83 - 125)/30 = -1.4

where μ= expected value of X= mean of X (since X is normally distributed)  , σ=standard deviation of X

then all tomatoes are sold if the demand surpasses 83 tomatos , therefore

P(X>83) = P(Z>-1.4) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)

from tables of standard normal distribution →P(Z≤-1.4)=0.081 , therefore

P(X>83) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)  = 1 - 0.081 = 0.919 (91.9%)

thus the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Which shapes contain at least one right angle?<br><br> Select each correct answer.
Andrej [43]
1: Trapezoid
2: rectangle!

STEP BY STEP EXPLINATION


A right angle is exactly 90 degrees, so if the pentagon has 108 degree angles, it’s not a right Angle!

The parallelogram has 107 degree angles and 73 degree angles, it’s not exactly 90.
The trapezoid has two right angles! The two sides make a right angle at the vertex! So, it has a right angle!
Same thing for the rectangle!
