Answer:

(3x - 8) pounds of gravel was used to cover the bottom of sinks, where x is the weight of bag of gravel.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

In order to answer this question we need to make the following assumption

Let x pound be the weight of one bag of gravel.

Total number of bags of gravel bought by Kevin = 3

Weight of 3 bags of gravel = 3x pounds

Amount of gravel left after pouring = 8 pounds

Amount of gravel used to cover the bottom of sink =

Formula:

\text{Amount of gravel used to cover the bottom of sink} = \\\text{Amount of gravel bought} - \text{Amount of gravel left}\\= 3x -8

Thus, (3x - 8) pounds of gravel was used to cover the bottom of sinks.

While conducting experiments, a marine biologist selects water depths from a uniformly distributed collection that vary between
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m is 0.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> denote the water depths.

As the variable water depths is continuous variable, the random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution with parameters <em>a</em> = 2.00 m and <em>b</em> = 7.00 m.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{b-a};\ a

Compute the probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m as follows:

P(2.25

                               =\frac{1}{5.00}\int\limits^{5.00}_{2.25} {1} \, dx\\\\=0.20\times [x]^{5.00}_{2.25} \\\\=0.20\times (5.00-2.25)\\\\=0.55

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m is 0.55.

Help quick please. Order the numbers from least to greatest.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

-2\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Mod of any number represents the absolute value of the number.

Therefore, |-2\frac{1}{4}|=2\frac{1}{4} = 2.25

-2\frac{1}{4}=-2.25

|1\frac{1}{4}|=1.25

\frac{3}{4}=0.75

|-1\frac{3}{4}|=1\frac{3}{4}=1.75

-1\frac{1}{4}=-1.25

Now we can arrange these numbers in ascending order.

-2.25 < -1.25 < 0.75 < 1.25 < 1.75 < 2.25

Therefore, -2\frac{1}{4}
