Answer:

The correct option is D. 81.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of the data set is given to be 40

⇒ μ = 40

Standard deviation of the data set is given to be 5

⇒ σ = 5

Now we are supposed to find out what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

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

Now for P(35 < x < 50) :

Substitute x = 35 ⇒ z = -1

Substitute x = 50 ⇒ z = 2

So, P(-1 < z < 2) = P(z < 2) - P(z < -1)

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.9772 - 0.1587

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.8185

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 81.8%

Therefore, 81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

Hence, The correct option is D. 81.8%

Which of the pairs of events below is mutually exclusive?

Nady [450]

Answer:

Drawing an ace of spades and then drawing another ace of spades without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given four pair of events:

1. Drawing an ace of spades and then drawing another ace of spades without replacement from a standard deck of cards

2. Drawing a 2 and drawing a 4 with replacement from a standard deck of cards

3. Drawing a heart and then drawing a spade without replacement from a standard deck of cards

4. Drawing a jack and then drawing a 7 without replacement from a standard deck of cards

To find:

Which of the pairs is mutually exclusive?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the definition of mutually exclusive events.

Mutually exclusive events do not have any case in common.

In other words, two events are known as mutually exclusive when both the events can not occur at the same time.

Now, let us have a look at the given options one by one:

1. Drawing an ace of spades and then drawing another ace of spades without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

We know that there is only one ace of spades in a standard deck.

Therefore, the two events can not occur one after the other, so these are mutually exclusive events.

2. Drawing a 2 and drawing a 4 with replacement from a standard deck of cards.

The two events can occur one after the other, so these are not mutually exclusive.

3. Drawing a heart and then drawing a spade without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

Separate cards are drawn one after the other, so not mutually exclusive.

4. Drawing a jack and then drawing a 7 without replacement from a standard deck of cards.

Separate cards are drawn one after the other, so not mutually exclusive.

Here are three stories:

aev [14]

Answer:

a) 6x+3 = 27

b) x=4

c) We know that x is price of each ticket, so The price of each ticket is $4. They bought 6 tickets, so total cost of ticket = 24 and $3 for parking so, total money spent = $27.

a) 3x + 6 = 27

b) x= 7

c) We know that x is amount of juice poured, so 3 friends of Diego will get 7 ounces of Juice, while Diego will get 6 ounces of juice.

a) 27x + 3 = 6

b) x= 1/9

c) We know that x is time spend on each picture, so Jada spend 1/9 hour on each picture

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A family buys 6 tickets to a show. They also pay a $3 parking fee. They spend $27 to see the show.

a) Decide which equation represents each story. What does x represent in each equation?

Let x be price of one ticket.

The equation will be: 6x+3 = 27

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

6x+3=27

6x=27-3

6x=24

x=24/6

x=4

So, we get x = 4

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is price of each ticket, so The price of each ticket is $4. They bought 6 tickets, so total cost of ticket = 24 and $3 for parking so, total money spent = $27.

2. Diego has 27 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends and has 6 ounces left for himself.

a) Decide which equation represents each story. What does x represent in each equation?

Let x be amount of juice poured.

The equation will be: 3x+6 = 27

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

3x+6=27

3x=27-6

3x=21

x=21/3

x=7

So, we get x = 7

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is amount of juice poured, so 3 friends of Diego will get 7 ounces of Juice, while Diego will get 6 ounces of juice.

3. Diego has 27 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends and has 6 ounces left for himself.

a) Jada works for 6 hours preparing for the art fair. She spends 3 hours on a sculpture and then paints 27 picture frames.

Let x be time spend on each picture frame.

The equation will be: 27x+3=6

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

27x+3=6

27x=6-3

27x=3

x=3/27

x=1/9

So, we get x = 1/9

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is time spend on each picture, so Jada spend 1/9 hour on each picture

Two boats leave a port at the same time, one going north and the other traveling south. The northbound boat travels 18 mph fast

shutvik [7]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Two boats leave a port at the same time, one going north and the other traveling south.

<u>Southbound boat rate</u> = 40 mph

The northbound boat travels 18 mph faster than the southbound boat.

<u>Northbound boat rate</u> = 40 + 18 = 58 mph

Two boats rate = 40 + 58 = 98 mph (this means they are apart 98 km after one hour)

Total distance = 980 miles

Total rate = 98 mph

Time $=980:98=10$ hours
