3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of weeks, we have to equate the amount already saved and planned to save by both each week.

So we can write the expression as,

Let w be the number of weeks.

25 + 5w =16 + 8w

Grouping the terms as,

25 - 16 = 8w - 5w

9 = 3w

Dividing both sides by 3, we will get,

3w/3 = 9/3

 w = 3

So number of weeks = 3

A box's volume is equal to 600 cubic
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = x

width = x - 7

height = x - 10

volume = 600 in^3

Volume = L * w * h

600 = x * (x - 7)*(x - 10)

600 = x * (x^2 - 17x + 70)

600 = x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x

x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x - 600 = 0

There is a genius somewhere that could solve this using algebra. The rest of us have 2 choices. We can graph it (see below) or we could use a program that solves it for us. I'll do both for you.

a = 1

b  = - 17

c = 70

d = - 600

There is only 1 real solution: x = 15

L = 15

w = 8

h = 5

That has to be one of the ugliest graphs made. It does into the hundreds of thousands and it still looks like a straight line. Trust me. It's not.

In a given year, the population of Metro City is 7420, and the population is decreasing by 152 people per year. The population o
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x</em> denote the years.

The information provided is:

  • The population of Metro City is 7420.
  • The population is decreasing by 152 people per year.
  • The population of Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City.

From the provided data derive the equation for the population of Smallville <em>x</em> years after as follows:

Y = [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

The population of Smallville is 2282 after <em>x</em> years.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

2282= [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

\frac{7420-152x}{2}=2282+1200\\\\7420-152x=3482\times 2\\\\152x=7420-6964\\\\152x=456\\\\x=3

Thus, the time it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282 is 3 years.

The correct option is D.

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and tes
Pavel [41]

Answer:

0.818

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shipment has a ton of aspirin tablets, we can assume that we pick 13 of them <em>with</em> <em>reposition, </em>because the probability shoudn't change dramatically from the probability of picking without reposition if we do so.

We call D the amount of defective tablets. If we assume that we pick the tablets with reposition, then we obtain that D is a random variable of Binomial distribution with parameters 13 and 0.6 (the probability of picking a defective tablet).

We want D to be at most one. To calculate the probability of that event we add up the probability of D being equal to 0 and the probability of D being equal to one. Since D is binomial, we have

  • P(D = 0) = (1-0.06)^{13} = 0.447
  • P(D = 1) = {13 \choose 1} * 0.06^1 * (1-0.06)^{12} = 13*0.06*0.94^{12} = 0.371

We conclude that

P(D \leq 1) = P(D = 0) + P(D = 1) = 0.447+0.371 = 0.818

Hence, the shipment will be accepted with probability 0.818

<em>I hope this helps you!</em>
