Answer:

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a) 151lb.

b) 6.25 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 151, \sigma = 25, n = 16

So

a) The expected value of the sample mean of the weights is 151 lb.

(b) What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean weight?

This is s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{25}{\sqrt{16}} = 6.25

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

the height is 2.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the height of the triangular section is shown below:

As we know that

Volume = One-half × base × height

35 = One-half × 4 × height × 7

So, the height is 2.5 cm
