Answer:

Joe picked 112 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ian picked 5 times as many strawberries as Michelle, and Joe picked 7 times as many as Michelle.  Together, Ian and Joe picked a total 192 strawberries.

If we want to find out how many strawberries Joe picked, we need to work with the proportions we are given.


Let's denote Michelle's strawberries as x

Ian picked five times that many: 5x

Joe picked 7 times that many: 7x

Ian and Joe together picked 192 strawberries

192 = 5x + 7x              combine like terms

192 = 12x                     divide both sides by 12 to isolate x

x = 16

If Joe's strawberries are represented by 7x and x is 16 strawberries, then

7 (16) = Joe's strawberries

Joe picked 112 strawberries

Which shows the equation below.....
sladkih [1.3K]
Option A is your answer. 

Subtract 3 from both sides to get zero on the right side of the equal sign. 

8 - 3 = 5. 

So that becomes your constant term in the equation.

I really need help ASAP! thx<br><br> Let f(z)=z-8 and g(z)=4z-9<br> Find (f+g)(2)
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

  (f +g)(2) = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Functions are added by adding their values.

<h3>Application</h3>

  (f +g)(2) = f(2) +g(2)

  = (2 -8) +(4(2) -9) . . . . . evaluate f and g with z=2

  = -6 +(-1)

  (f +g)(2) = -7

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

(a) The mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes is 0.0495.

(b) The mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 420 minutes is 0.9909.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = amount of time mildly obese people do daily activity and <em>Y</em> = amount of time lean people do daily activity.

The random variable X\sim N(375, 67^{2}) and Y\sim N(523, 107^{2}).

The sample size of mildly obese and lean people selected is, <em>n</em> = 6.

(a)

Compute the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes as follows:

P(\bar X->420)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}>\frac{420-375}{67/\sqrt{6}} )\\=P(Z>1.65)\\=1-P(Z

*Use the <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes is 0.0495.

(b)

Compute the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 420 minutes as follows:

P(\bar Y->420)=P(\frac{\bar Y-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}>\frac{420-523}{107/\sqrt{6}} )\\=P(Z>-2.36)\\=P(Z

*Use the <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 420 minutes is 0.9909.
