The mean gas mileage for a hybrid car is 57mpg. Suppose that the gasoline mileage is approx normally distributed with a standard

deviation of 3.5mpg. what proportion of hybrids gets over 61mpg?

If you have a graphing calculator (such as a TI-84), you can use the normalcdf feature by clicking on the blue "2nd" button, then the "vars" button and then choice 2. Since you are finding the proportion of hybrids that get over 61 mpg, the lower bound is 61, the upper bound is infinity (you can type in 99999), the mean is 57, and the standard deviation is 3.5. So... normalcdf(61,99999,57,3.5) = .1265. This means that 12.65% of the hybrids get over 61 mpg.

Answer:

$x = 1.25$

$y = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$4x - 5y = 5$

$0.08x + 0.10y = 0.10$

Required

Determine the solution

Make x the subject of formula in: $4x - 5y = 5$

$4x = 5 + 5y$

Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$

Substitute $x = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$ in $0.08x + 0.10y = 0.10$

$0.08(\frac{5 + 5y}{4}) + 0.10y = 0.10$

Solve the fraction

$0.02(5 + 5y) + 0.10y = 0.10$

Open the bracket

$0.1 + 0.1y + 0.10y = 0.10$

$0.1 + 0.2y = 0.10$

Subtract 0.1 from both sides

$0.1-0.1 + 0.2y = 0.10 - 0.1$

$0.2y = 0$

Divide both sides by 0.2

$y =0$

Substitute 0 for y in $x = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 + 5*0}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 + 0}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 }{4}$

$x = 1.25$

Is the point (2,3) a solution for the inequality y<2x+10

Gnom [1K]

Yes. That point is in the solution space.

_____
You can also figure out algebraically whether the point satisfies the inequality
y < 2x + 10
Substitute the numbers
3 < 2·2 + 10
3 < 14 . . . . . . . . . . . True. (2, 3) is a solution

¾ + 4y ÷ 3; y = 1 ½ <br> Plz help step by step

suter [353]

Answer: 3/2

Step by step:

3/4 + 4y/3

3/4 + 4y/3 = 4y/3 + 3/4

y= 1 1/2 = 3/2

You are taxed at a rate of 5% for all online purchases and 8.5% for all in-store purchases. If you pay a total of 40$ in taxes i

Zina [86]

$x+y=500$
$0.05x+0.085y=40
$
Multiply both sides of second equation by 20 to get $x+1.7y=800$
Subtract that from first equation to get $0.7y=300$
Divide both sides by 0.7 to get $y=428.571$ , so about $428.57 was spent in store. This leaves $500-428.57=$71.43$ that was spent online

How many solutions does the following have?<br> 1x-5y=15<br> -1+5y=-15

zhannawk [14.2K]

So than there are

1x -5y =15
-1x +5y = -15
--------------------assuming term by term we get
0 0 = 0

so from what result that this system has infinitely many solutions

hope helped
