It’s B, because you do 3-15 and that equals 12 and then you do 3 divided by 12 and that’s 4.

well looking at the equation

x = 4 equals 15

x = -6 equals -15

x = -4 equals -9

so imma say that the answer would be A. x = 4 and x = -6

The chemistry class was making 300 gallons of 30% isopropyl alcohol. They mixed 12% with 42%. How much of each did they use?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The chemistry class mixed 120 gallons of 12% isopropyl alcohol and 180 gallons of 42% isopropyl alcohol.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount of isopropyl alcohol made by the chemistry class = 300 of 30%

Amount of 12% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = x

Amount of 42% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = 300 - x

2. How much of each did they use?

Let's write our equation to solve for x, this way:

30% = 0.3, 12% = 0.12, 42% = 0.42

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12x + 126 - 0.42x = 90

-0.3x = 90 - 126

-0.3x = -36

x = -36/-0.3

x = 120 ⇒ 300 - x = 180

Let's prove x = 120 is correct

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12 * 120 + 0.42 (300 - 120) = 0.3 * 300

14.4 + 75.6 = 90

90 = 90

We proved x = 120 is correct

On Sunday 440 people visited a museum that charges $9 for each child and $12.50 for each adult. If the museum earned $5,220 on t

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

A) 360 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

c=quantity of child

a=quantity of adult

9c+12.5a=5220

a+c=440 then c=440-a

substitute for c

9(440-a)+12.5a=5220

3960-9a+12.5a=5220

reduce

3.5a=1260

a=360

9.4 The heights of a random sample of 50 college stu- dents showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a stan- dard deviation of 6.9

gladu [14]

Answer: a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean height = 174.5 cm

Standard deviation = 6.9 cm

n = 50

we need to find the 98% confidence interval.

So, z = 2.326

(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students.

$x\pm z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(174.5\pm 2.326\times \dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}})\\\\=(174.5+2.26,174.5-2.26)\\\\=(176.76,172.24)$

(b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?

Error would be

$\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=0.976$

Hence, a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

Explain how you would convert a measurement given in ounces into pints

Greeley [361]

8 ounces = 1cup
2 cups = 1 pint
So, 16 ounces = 2 cups = 1pint
16 ounces = 1 pint

If you have 8 ounces, you would have half a pint.
If you have 20 ounces:
20 ounces/16 ounces= 5/4
So, you'd have 1 1/4 or 1.25 pints

The Eco Pulse survey from the marketing communications firm Shelton Group asked individuals to indicate things they do that make

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) There is a probability of 42% that the person will feel guilty for only one of those things.

b)There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, for those people that will feel guilty about wasting food.

-Set B, for those people that will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

The most important information is that there is a .12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons. It means that $P(A \cap B) = .12.$

The problem also states that there is a .39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food. It means that P(A) = 0.39. The probability of a person feeling guilty for only wasting food is PO(A) = .39-.12 = .27.

Also, there is a .27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. So, the probability of a person feeling guilty for only leaving the lights on is PO(B) = 0.27-0.12 = 0.15.

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room?

This is the probability that the person feels guilt for only one of those things, so:

P = PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.27 + 0.15 = 0.42 = 42%

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

The sum of all the probabilities is always 1. In this problem, we have the following probabilies

- The person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons: P

- The person will feel guilty for only one of those things: PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.42

- The person will feel guilty for both reasons: PB = 0.12

`P + 0.42 + 0.12 = 1

P = 1-0.54

P = 0.46

There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
