Let s = shirts
let t = ties
2s + t = 42
s + 2t = 39
s = 15
t = 12
one shirt equals $15

A manufacturer of industrial solvent guarantees its customers that each drum of solvent they ship out contains at least 100 lbs

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the solvent present

Then given that the manufacturer of industrial solvent guarantees its customers that each drum of solvent they ship out contains at least 100 lbs of solvent.

X is N(101.3, 3.68)

a) $P(X>100) = P(Z>\frac{100-101.3}{3.68} =P(Z>-0.35)\\=0.6368$

Probability = 0.6368

b) $P(X>100)= 0.97$ means Z score = 1.88

X=100+1.88(s) =101.3

s=1.3/1.88=0.6914

Answer:

415.63 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Growth can be represented by the equation $A=A_0e^{rt}$ . We can find the rate at which it grows by using t=25 minutes and $\frac{A_{0}}{A} =2$ or double the amount at that time. The first step we always take is to divide $A_0$ by A.

$[tex]\frac{A_{0}}{A}=e^{rt}\\2=e^{r(25)}$

$2=e^{(25)r}$

To solve for r, we will take the natural log of both sides and use log rules to isolate r.

$ln 2=ln e^{(25)r}\\ln 2=25r (ln e)\\\frac{ln2}{25} =r$

We know $lne=1$ so we were able to cancel it out and divide both sides by 25.

We solve with a calculator $\frac{ln2}{25} =r\\0.0277=r$

We change 0.0277 into a percent by multiplying by 100 to get 2.77% as the rate.

The equation is $A=A_0e^{0.0277t}$ .

We repeat the step above substituting A=5,000,000, $A_0$ =50, and r=0.02777. Then solve for t.

$5000000=50e^{0.0277t}\\\frac{5000000}{50} =e^{0.0277t}\\100000=e^{0.0277t}\\ln100000=lne^{0.0277t}\\ln100000=0.02777t(lne)\\\frac{ln100000}{0.0277} =t$

t=415.63 minutes
