Divide the 2 ounces into the .80 which would be 0.40 per ounce for the 2 ounces chocolate and divide the 3 ounces into the .90 which would be 0.30 per ounce for the 3 ounces of chocolate

3x-4 or = to 7<br><br><br> plz help

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

3 + 4 = 7 which is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you have an equation with a plain variable (that is, no exponent included), there is only one number that will work when substituted for x.

To solve it, you have to "undo" what is done to the variable. You also go in the reverse order of operations, so you do the addition/subtract first, then multiplication/division.

You also have to do the same to both sides, kind of like keeping a balance scale in balance.

In this case, we subtract 4 from both sides first:

3x + 4 -4 = 7 - 4

The + 4 - 4 cancel each other out, so you get:

3x = 3

3x means "3 times x" so you divide by 3 to undo it. I will use the / to indicate division:

3x / 3 = 3 /3

so 1x = 1.

Since 1x is "1 times x" it is the same as x by itself, so:

x=1

AND, if we substitute 1 back into the original equation (the asterisk stands for multiply):

3 * 1 + 4 = 7

3 * 1 is 3, so:

3 + 4 = 7 which is true.

1 is the only number that works.

Hope this helped.

The amount of time required for an oil and filter change on an automobile is normally distributed with a mean of 45 minutes and

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

1a

$P(39 < X < 48 ) = 0.8767$

1b

95% of all sample means will fall between $40.1 < \mu < 49.9$

1c

$\= x = 41. 795$

2

$n = 25$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is $n = 45$

The population standard deviation is $\sigma = 10$

The sample size is n = 16

Generally the standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as

$\sigma_{x} = \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = \frac{ 10 }{\sqrt{16 } }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = 2.5$

Generally the probability that the sample mean will be between 39 and 48 minutes is

$P(39 < X < 48 ) = P( \frac{ 39 - 45}{ 2.5} < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{ 48 - 45}{ 2.5} )$

=> $P(39 < X < 48 ) = P(-2.4 < Z< 1.2 )$

=> $P(39 < X < 48 ) = P( Z< 1.2 ) - P(Z < -2.4)$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to 1.2 and -2.4 is

=> $P( Z< 1.2 ) = 0.88493$

and

$P( Z< - 2.4 ) = 0.0081975$

So

$P(39 < X < 48 ) = 0.88493 -0.0081975$

=> $P(39 < X < 48 ) = 0.8767$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * 2.5$

=> $E =4.9$

Generally the 95% of all sample means will fall between

$\mu -E < and \mu +E$

=> $45 -4.9\ and \ 45 + 4.9$

Generally the value which 90% of sample means is greater than is mathematically represented

$P( \= X > \= x ) = 0.90$

=> $P( \= X > \= x ) = P( \frac{\= X - \mu }{ \sigma_x} > \frac{\= x -45 }{ 2.5} ) = 0.90$

=> $P( \= X > \= x ) = P( Z > z ) = 0.90$

Generally from the z-table the critical value of 0.90 is

$z = -1.282$

$\frac{\= x -45 }{ 2.5} = -1.282$

=> $\= x = 41. 795$

Considering question 2

Generally we are told that the standard deviation of the mean to be one fifth of the population standard deviation, this is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{1}{5} \sigma$

Generally the standard deviation of the sample mean is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }$

=> $\frac{1}{5} \sigma = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }$

=> $n = 5^2$

=> $n = 25$

Find the annual infiltration rate for the nearest 10th of a percent of a gallon of milk that increases the value from $1.51 to $

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

7.429 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price change = $1.51 to $2.03

Period of time = 7 years

Therefore, the annual inflation rate :

Difference in price / number of years

($2.03 - $1.51) / 7

$0.52 / 7

= 0.0742857 per year

= 0.0742857 * 100 (about 7.429 cents per year)
