Solution:

We are given that

Shaneese is buying peanuts and cashews.

he has $12 to spend.

peanuts cost $3 per pound and cashews cost $4 per pound.

she buys x pounds of peanuts and y pounds of cashews.

The equation that represents the amount of each is 3x + 4y = 12.

Now we have been asked to find the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept , we need to set x=0

when x=0, equation becomes

3*0 + 4y = 12.

0 + 4y = 12.

4y = 12.

Divide both the sides by 4 we get

y = 3

Hence the y-intercept is 3.

Mason will use a 1/3 gallon pitcher to fill an empty 3/4 gallon water jug. How much water will he need in order to completely fi
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

It's 1/2  I found this out by subtracting 3/4 - 1/3= 5/12 and if you put that into a decimal it would be .41. So that 1/4= .25 and 1/2= .50. You could figure out that it’s closed to 1/2.

The average summer temperature in Anchorage is 69°F. If the daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

81.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The average summer temperature in Anchorage is 69°F.

The daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7°F .

To Find:What percentage of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F?

Solution:

Mean = \mu = 69

Standard deviation = \sigma = 7

Formula : z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Now At x = 55

z=\frac{55-69}{7}

z=-2

At x = 76

z=\frac{76-69}{7}

z=1

Now to find P(55<z<76)

P(2<z<-1)=P(z<2)-P(z>-1)

Using z table :

P(2<z<-1)=P(z<2)-P(z>-1)=0.9772-0.1587=0.8185

Now percentage of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F = 0.8185 \times 100 = 81.85\%

Hence If the daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7°F, 81.85% of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F.
