Write and solve an equation of proportions.  4/5 gallon paint corresponds to 280 sq ft, and 3 gallons corresponds to an unknown area:

4/5 gall         280 sq ft
------------ = ---------------
  3 gal                x

Then (4/5)x = 840 sq ft, so that x = (5/4)(4/5)x = (5/4)(840 sq ft)
                                                                          =1050 sq ft

These folks can paint 1050 sq. ft. with 3 gallons of paint.

4- A manufacturing process produces items whose weights are normally distributed. It is known that 22.57% of all the items produ
galben [10]

Answer:

\\ \mu = 118\;grams\;and\;\sigma=30\;grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use z-scores and a standard normal table to find the values that corresponds to the probabilities given, and then to solve a system of equations to find \\ \mu\;and\;\sigma.

<h3>First Case: items from 100 grams to the mean</h3>

For finding probabilities that corresponds to z-scores, we are going to use here a <u>Standard Normal Table </u><u><em>for cumulative probabilities from the mean </em></u><em>(Standard normal table. Cumulative from the mean (0 to Z), 2020, in Wikipedia) </em>that is, the "probability that a statistic is between 0 (the mean) and Z".

A value of a z-score for the probability P(100<x<mean) = 22.57% = 0.2257 corresponds to a value of z-score = 0.6, that is, the value is 0.6 standard deviations from the mean. Since this value is <em>below the mean</em> ("the items produced weigh between 100 grams up to the mean"), then the z-score is negative.

Then

\\ z = -0.6\;and\;z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\\ -0.6 = \frac{100-\mu}{\sigma} (1)

<h3>Second Case: items from the mean up to 190 grams</h3>

We can apply the same procedure as before. A value of a z-score for the probability P(mean<x<190) = 49.18% = 0.4918 corresponds to a value of z-score = 2.4, which is positive since it is after the mean.

Then

\\ z =2.4\;and\; z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\\ 2.4 = \frac{190-\mu}{\sigma} (2)

<h3>Solving a system of equations for values of the mean and standard deviation</h3>

Having equations (1) and (2), we can form a system of two equations and two unknowns values:

\\ -0.6 = \frac{100-\mu}{\sigma} (1)

\\ 2.4 = \frac{190-\mu}{\sigma} (2)

Rearranging these two equations:

\\ -0.6*\sigma = 100-\mu (1)

\\ 2.4*\sigma = 190-\mu (2)

To solve this system of equations, we can multiply (1) by -1, and them sum the two resulting equation:

\\ 0.6*\sigma = -100+\mu (1)

\\ 2.4*\sigma = 190-\mu (2)

Summing both equations, we obtain the following equation:

\\ 3.0*\sigma = 90

Then

\\ \sigma = \frac{90}{3.0} = 30

To find the value of the mean, we need to substitute the value obtained for the standard deviation in equation (2):

\\ 2.4*30 = 190-\mu (2)

\\ 2.4*30 - 190 = -\mu

\\ -2.4*30 + 190 = \mu

\\ \mu = 118

Prove Forall x elementof Z, x^2 - 5x - 1 is odd.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let Z be a set of integers

We have to prove that x^2-5x-1 is odd for all value of x \inZ.

There are two cases

1.When x is an odd integer number

2.when x is even integer number

1.When x is an odd integer  number

When x is positive odd integer

Then x^2  is positive odd number (because square of odd positive number is always positive an odd number )

5x is also odd number

-5x -1 = -even number

Suppose x=3

Then -15-1=-16

Odd number - even number=Odd number

Hence ,x^2-5x-1 is an odd number .

When x is negative odd number

Then  x square is positive odd number  and 5x is negative odd term term

Therefore,odd number + odd number -1=Even  number -1=Odd number

Hence x^2-5x-1 is an odd number.

2.When  x is an even number

When x is positive even number

x square is positive even number  and 5x is positive even number

Even number -Even number -1 =Even number -odd number =Odd number

Suppose x=4

x^2-5x-1=16-20-1=-5=Odd number

When x is negative even number

Then x square is positive even number  and 5x is negative even number

x^2-5x-1=Even number +Even number -1=Even number -1=Odd number

Hence, for all elements of Zx^2-5x-1is odd.
