The mean amount spent by a family of four on food per month is $500 with a standard deviation of $75. Assuming that the food cos

ts are normally distributed, what is the probability that a family spends less than $410 per month?

Answer:

The probability that a family spends less than $410 per month

P( X < 410) = 0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

<em>Given mean of the population = 500 </em>

<em>Given standard deviation of the Population = 75</em>

Let 'X' be the variable in normal distribution

      Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}

<em>Given X = $410</em>

<em></em>Z = \frac{410-500}{75} = - 1.2<em></em>

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The probability that a family spends less than $410 per month

P( X < 410) = P( Z < - 1.2 )

                  =  0.5 - A( -1.2)

                 = 0.5 - A(1.2)

                = 0.5 - 0.3849  ( ∵from normal table)

                = 0.1151

<u>Final answer:-</u>

The probability that a family spends less than $410 per month

P( X < 410) = 0.1151

On a city map 3/4 inch corresponds to 7 1/2 miles bonnie drives from her house to a movie theater and then from a movie theater
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Option D: 12\frac{1}{2} is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

3/4 inches on map are equal to 7\frac{1}{2} miles

We will find the unit rate in term of inches.

\frac{3}{4}\ inches = 7\frac{1}{2}\\\\Unit\ rate = \frac{15}{2}*\frac{4}{3}\ miles\\\\Unit\ rate = 10\ miles\ per\ inch

Total distance covered by Bonnie according to map;

Total distance = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4} = \frac{2+3}{4}

Total distance = \frac{5}{4}\ miles

Actual distance = \frac{5}{4}*10 = \frac{25}{2}\ miles \\

Actual distance = 12\frac{1}{2}\ miles

Hence,

Option D: 12\frac{1}{2} is the correct answer.

1. If Sheryl works 6.5 hours in a day, she makes approximately 85 currency.

2A. If Sherly had not worked for a single hour, she would get no money.

If she worked for 1 hour, here wage would approximately be equal to 13 currency.

If Sheryl works 9 hours she will make approximately 117 currency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To calculate how much Sheryl makes if she works 6.5 hours a day, we check the graph to see what the y value of the graph is when x =6.5.

When x =6.5, the line falls on y = 85.

So if Sheryl works 6.5 hours in a day, she makes approximately 85 currency.

Step 2:

The two points on the graph are at (0, 0) and (1, 13).

This means that if Sherly had not worked for a single hour, she would get no money.

If she worked for 1 hour, here wage would approximately be equal to 13 currency.

These two statements explain the two points on the graph.

Step 3:

To calculate how much Sheryl makes if she works 9 hours, we must create an equation that represents how much money she makes.

If she earns approximately 13 currency an hour, her wage is y = 13x, where x is the number of hours worked and y is the wage.

When x =9, y = 9(13) = 117.

So if Sheryl works 9 hours she will make approximately 117 currency.

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the objects acceleration. When a force of 35 N acts on
Genrish500 [490]
<h3>Answer:  3 m/s^2</h3>

=======================================================

According to Newton's Second Law, we know that

F = m*a

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and 'a' is the acceleration.

We see that this is a direct variation equation for F and a, such that m is the constant of variation. It's similar to how y = kx is also a direct variation equation.

Plug in F = 35 and a = 5 to find m

F = ma

35 = m*5

35/5 = m

7 = m

m = 7

The object has a mass of 7 kg

Our equation F = ma updates to F = 7a

Now plug in the force F = 21 to find 'a'

F = 7a

21 = 7a

21/7 = a

3 = a

a = 3

The acceleration will be 3 m/s^2

Notice how a smaller force applied means that the acceleration has also gone down as well.
