2. Alana needs to sell 52 boxes of cookies:

She sold 7 boxes to her aunt

She sold 2 boxes to her mother

She sold 15 boxes to her neighbor

you add 7+2+15 = 24 boxes of cookies that she sold

We need to find out how many more boxes of cookies she needs to sell-

We take the 24 boxes she sold and subtract from 52 boxes that she needs to sell.

24 - 52 = 30

The answer is 30, she needs to sell 30 more boxes.

3. Sam, Jimmy and Andre shared a number of pennies in the ratio 8:5:3

Sam (8), Jimmy (5) and Andre (3)

How many more pennies did Jimmy receive than Andre?

you subtract 3 - 5 = 2

The answer is 2 more pennies.

4. Jamila spent $33.00 and Akiko spent $ 42.00

Jamila had 4 times as much money left as Akiko. How much money did each of them have in the beginning?

Since Akiko spent the highest amount- you will have to go with the higher amount to find the answer

4 x $42.00 = $168.00

They both in the beginning had $168.00

I hope this helps.

A line passes through the point (10,5) and has a slope of 3/2. Write and equation in slope intercept form

ehidna [41]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 10}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\quad 
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{3}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-5=\cfrac{3}{2}(x-10)\implies y-5=\cfrac{3}{2}x-15
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{3}{2}x-15+5\implies y=\cfrac{3}{2}x-10$

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When we draw out our triangle, we should see that we have a right triangle and we need to solve for a leg:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

12² + b² = 13²

144 + b² = 169

b² = 25

b = 5

A simple random sample of size nequals10 is obtained from a population with muequals68 and sigmaequals15. (a) What must be true

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of the sample mean ( $\bar x$ ) is N (68, 4.74²).

(b) The value of $P(\bar X$ is 0.7642.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of size n = 10 is selected from a population.

Let the population be made up of the random variable X.

The mean and standard deviation of X are:

$\mu=68\\\sigma=15$

(a)

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and we take appropriately huge random samples (n ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.

Since the sample selected is not large, i.e. n = 10 < 30, for the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed, the population from which the sample is selected must be normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sample mean is given by,

$\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=68$
