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

A farmer has 20 acres to plant in wheat and barley. He has to plant at least 15 acres. Wheat costs $200 per acre to plant and ba
maria [59]

Answer:

  • 16 acres of barley only (no acres of wheat)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows cost of planting puts an upper limit on planted area. The lower limit is provided by the requirement to plant at least 15 acres. The vertices of the feasible solution region are ...

  (wheat acres, barley acres) = {(0, 15), (0, 16), (3, 12)}

The profit associated with these scenarios will be ...

  for (0, 16): 16·350 = 5600

  for (3, 12): 3·450 +12·350 = 1350 +4200 = 5550

To maximize profit, the farmer should plant 16 acres of barley.

A direct variation function contains the points (2, 14) and (4, 28). Which equation represents the function?
vitfil [10]
A direct variation has a constant slope, i.e. (y/x)= constant.

Both of the given two points give a slope of (y/x)=14/2=28/4=7, so the equation of the function is
y/x=7, or simply
y=7x

What is the quotient of 3.12 x 108 and 2.6 x 105 expressed in scientific notation?​
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1.2 * 10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

3.12 * 10^8

=========

2.6 * 10^5

Start by doing 3.12 / 1.6 = 1.2 and that is the correct number of sig digs.

Now get the power on the 10. When dividing, the powers subtract.

10^(8 - 5)

10^ 3

The answer is 1.2 * 10^3
