5b+8p=431.67
3b+10p=344.75
multiple the first equation by 3:        15b+24p=1295.01
multiple the second equation by 5:  15b+50p=1723.75
subtract to eliminate b: 26p=428.74
p=16.49
plug p=16.49 into the first equation: 5b+8(16.49)=431.67
b=59.95

please double check my calcualtion

Suppose that 12% of test scores for the unit 1 test were above 85 and 8% were below 70. Assuming a normal
Doss [256]

Answer:

Mean = 78.2

Standard deviation = 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically z-score;

= (x-mean)/SD

From the question;

12% of test scores were above 85

Thus;

P( x > 85) = 12%

P(x > 85) = 0.12

Now let’s get the z-score that has a probability of 0.12

This can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table and it is = 1.175

Thus;

1.175 = (85 - mean)/SD

let’s call the mean a and the SD b

1.175 = (85-a)/b

1.175b = 85 - a

a = 85 - 1.175b ••••••••(i)

Secondly 8% of scores were below 70

Let’s find the z-score corresponding to this proportion;

We use the standard normal distribution table as usual;

P( x < 70) = 0.08

z-score = -1.405

Thus;

-1.405 =( 70-a)/b

-1.405b = 70-a

a = 70 + 1.405b ••••••(ii)

Equate the two a

70 + 1.405b = 85 - 1.175b

85 -70 = 1.405b + 1.175b

15 = 2.58b

b = 15/2.58

b = 5.81

a = 70 + 1.405b

a = 70 + 1.405(5.81)

a = 78.16

So mean = 78.2 and Standard deviation is 5.8

A concession stand at a baseball game sells hot dogs and boxes of popcorn. Justin buys a total of 9 snacks. The number of popcor
Jet001 [13]

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.

<h3>Equation</h3>

Equation is an expression which is used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of hot dogs and y represent the boxes of popcorn.

Justin buys a total of 9 snacks. Hence:

  • x + y = 9   (1)

He buys popcorn 3 less than twice as many hot dogs. Hence:

  • y = 2x - 3
  • 2x - y = 3    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 4, y = 5

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

B) 628.32 cm cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the formula to find the volume of a cylinder is π*r^2*h

where r is the radius and h is the height.

the equation would look like this

π*5^2*8

π*25*8

π*200

628.32 cm
