Answer:

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of boxes of cookies sold

y ----> the number of boxes of candies sold

we know that

The word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

so

The inequality that represent this problem is

5.25x+8.75y\geq 200

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line   5.25x+8.75y=200

using a graphing tool

The solution is the shaded area -----> see the attached figure

Find out the minimum boxes of cookies needed to sell to reach the goal

assuming only cookies are sold

For y=0

5.25x+8.75(0)\geq 200

5.25x\geq 200

solve for x

x\geq 38.1

Round up

therefore

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

68-95-99.7 rule

68% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean (\mu-\sigma,\mu+\sigma)

95% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean  (\mu-1\sigma,\mu+1\sigma)

99.7% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean  (\mu-3\sigma,\mu+3\sigma)

The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 55 and a standard deviation of 4.

\mu = 55\\\sigma = 4

68% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean (\mu-\sigma,\mu+\sigma) = (55-4,55+4)= (51,59)

95% of all values lie within the 2 standard deviation from mean  (\mu-1\sigma,\mu+1\sigma)= (55-2(4),55+2(4))= (47,63)

99.7% of all values lie within the 3 standard deviation from mean  (\mu-3\sigma,\mu+3\sigma)= (55-3(4),55+3(4))= (43,67)

Refer the attached figure

P(43<x<55)=2.5%+13.5%+34%=50%

Hence The approximate percentage of light bulb replacement requests numbering between 43 and 55 is 50%

Which function is best represented by this graph?
Reil [10]

Answer:

y=\frac{2}{7}x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is a way to describe a function using its slope and y-intercept and is written as y=mx+b.

m=slope

b=y-intercept

Looking at the graph we can see it goes through x=0 at y=-2 making -2 the y-intercept.

Then we must solve for slope, slope is rise/run. From the point (0,-2) the function travels to (7,0).

This gives us a rise (change in x) of 2 and a run (change in y) of 7 and 2/7 as our slope.

What is the solution of this system of linear equations? 3y = 3 y equals StartFraction 3 over 2 EndFraction x plus 6.X + 6 y – S
Scrat [10]

Answer:

(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is

y =  \frac{3}{2}x + 6

and

\frac{1}{2}y -  \frac{1}{4}x = 3

We substitute the first equation into the second equation to get:

\frac{1}{2} ( \frac{3}{2}x + 6) -  \frac{1}{4}x = 3

We expand to get:

\frac{3}{4} x + 3 -  \frac{1}{4}x = 3

We group similar terms to get:

\frac{3}{4}x -  \frac{1}{4}x = 3 - 3

\frac{1}{2}x = 0

x = 0

Put x=0 in to the first equation to get:

y = 6

Therefore the solution is (0,6)

NeX [460]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I understand you hardships your going through. I believe you feel like you've lost your best friend, and I have gone through a similar experience when I was in 7th grade.

What I did was I wrote a journal everyday to let my teachers see my English improving day by day (he was my English teacher), because I wanted him to be proud of my progress once he came back.

This made me motivated to see how much time was left for my to see him coming back! I hope this helps.
