76/4=19 lb is weighht of 1 bushel of rye
19*8.5=161.5 lb

8.5 bushels of rye weigh 161.5 lb

I believe that would be 161.5 lbs. This is because using division(76 divided by 4) we find that each bushel weighs 19 lbs. So then we would multiply (19 x 8= 152) and finally add the half a bushel(152+9.5=161.5).
Hope it helps!

17 Answer: 205

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\{1\dfrac{2}{3}+1\dfrac{5}{6}+2+...+8\dfrac{1}{3}\}\implies a_1=1\dfrac{2}{3},\ d=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\qquad solve\ for\ n\\\\8\dfrac{1}{3}=1\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}(n-1)\\\\\\\dfrac{25}{3}=\dfrac{5}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}n-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\\dfrac{50}{6}=\dfrac{10}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}n-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\\dfrac{41}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}n\\\\\\\dfrac{41}{6}\cdot 6=n\\\\41=n$

$\text{Now use the sum formula:}\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a_n}{2}\cdot n\\\\\\S_{41}=\dfrac{1\dfrac{2}{3}+8\dfrac{1}{3}}{2}\cdot 41\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10}{2}\cdot 41\\\\\\.\quad =5\cdot 41\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{205}$

18 Answer: 1968

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$a_1=-6,\ d=2,\ n=48, \quad \text{solve for }a_{48}\\\\a_{n}=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_{48}=-6+2(48-1)\\\\.\quad =-6+2(47)\\\\.\quad =-6+94\\\\.\quad =88$

$\text{Now use the sum formula:}\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a_n}{2}\cdot n\\\\\\S_{48}=\dfrac{-6+88}{2}\cdot 48\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{82}{2}\cdot 48\\\\\\.\quad =41\cdot 48\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{1968}$

19 Answer: -116

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\{3, -2, -7, ...\}\\a_1=3,\ d=-5,\ n=8, \quad \text{solve for }a_{8}\\\\a_{n}=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_{8}=3-5(8-1)\\\\.\quad =3-5(7)\\\\.\quad =3-35\\\\.\quad =-32\\\\\text{Now use the sum formula:}\\\\S_8=\dfrac{a_1+a_8}{2}\cdot 8\\\\\\S_{8}=\dfrac{3-32}{2}\cdot 8\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{-29}{2}\cdot 8\\\\\\.\quad =-29\cdot 4\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{-116}$

The number of tops on the 6th day based on the exponential model is 64, and the number of tops on the 6th day based on the linear model is 17.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent $\rm y = a^x$

where a is a constant and a>1

First day class collected = 2 tops

Third day class collected = 8 tops

The exponential function can be modelled:

$\rm D(N) = 2^N$

D(1) = 2 (first day)

D(3) = 8 (third day)

D(6) = 64 (sixth day)

The linear function can be modeled:

D(N) = 3N -1

D(1) = 2 (first day)

D(3) = 8 (third day)

D(6) = 17 (sixth day)

Thus, the number of tops on 6th day based on exponential model is 64, and the number of tops on the 6th day based on the linear model is 17.

Enter the slope of the line through the points (4 , 15) and (4 , 12)

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = 15-12 / 4-4 = 3/0 is undefined since we can not divide by 0

slope is undefined so the line is vertical

According to a study done by Nick Wilson of Otago University Wellington, the probability a randomly selected individual will not

Lorico [155]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

From the question statement we get know that it is Binomial distribution because there are only two possible outcomes so we need to use Binomial Probability Distribution for this question.

Formula for the Binomial Probability Distribution:

P(X)= p^x q^(n-x)

Where,

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x! (i.e. combination)
x= total number of successes
p=probability of success (p=1-q)
q=probability of failure (q=1-p)
n=number of trials
P(X)= probability of total number of successes

Answer and explanation for each part of the question are as follow:

a.What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals exactly 4 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?

Solution:

Given that

n=10

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733

x=4 (number of successes i.e. individuals not covering their mouths)

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=10!/(10-4)!4!=210

P(X)=C_x^n p^x q^(n-x)=210×〖(0.267)〗^4×〖0.733〗^(10-4)

P(X)=210×0.00508×0.155

P(X)=0.165465

b. What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?

Solution:

Given that

n=10

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733

x=3 (number of successes i.e. individuals not covering their mouths)

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=10!/(10-3)!3!=120

P(X)=C_x^n p^x q^(n-x)=120×(0.267)^3×〖0.733〗^(10-3)

P(X)=120×0.01903×0.1136

P(X)=0.25962

c. Would you be surprised if, after observing 18 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? why?

Solution:

Given that

n=18

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733

x=9 (x is the number of successes “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing”, if less than half cover their mouth then more than half will not cover), so let x=9

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=18!/(18-9)!9!=48620

P(X)=48620×(0.267)^9×〖0.733〗^(18-9)

P(X)=48620×0.00000689×0.0610

P(X)=0.020

Yes, I am surprised that probability of less than 9 individuals covering their mouth when sneezing is 0.020. Which is extremely is small.

sasho [114]

Answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one package of tulip bulbs.

Let y represent the cost of one bag of daffodil bulbs.

Ava bought 6 packages of tulip bulbs and 12 bags of daffodil bulbs for a total of $198. This means that

6x + 12y = 198- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Grace spent $254 buying 14 packages of tulip bulbs and 12 bags of daffodil bulbs. This means that

14x + 12y = 254- - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

- 8x = - 56

x = - 56/-8

x = 7

Substituting x = 7 into equation 1, it becomes

6 × 7 + 12y = 198

42 + 12y = 198

12y = 198 - 42

12y = 156

y = 156/12

y = 13
