Ok so lets say D= Dog And C=Cat
D+C = 54

D = 8C

Now, substitute 8C for D in the first equation to get: 

8C + C = 54 

Solving for the cat gives us C = 6 

D = 8 x 6 = 48

Dog Weighs 48 Pounds

(3 x 10^6) x (3 x 10^ 5)

OleMash [197]

Answer:

$9*10^{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(3*10^{6})*(3*10^{5})$

we know that

$(a*10^{b})*(a*10^{c})=(a*a)*10^{(b+c)}$ -----> the bases are multiplied and the exponents are added up

in this problem

$(3*10^{6})*(3*10^{5})=(3*3)*10^{(6+5)}$

$=9*10^{11}$

Marco has a jug with 37 1/2 ounces of juice. He wants to use some small cups to pass out samples of the juice. Each cup can hold

Neko [114]

37 1/2 divided by 2 1/2=15

Marco can fill 15 cups with juice samples.

Check:
2 1/2x15=37 1/2

If outliers are discarded, then the retirement savings by residents of Econistan is normally distributed with a mean of $100,000

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

$P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

$P(z>0.85)=1-P(z$

The firgure attached illustrate the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the retirement savings of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(100000,20000)$

Where $\mu=100000$ and $\sigma=20000$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>117000)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

$P(z>0.85)=1-P(z$
