Imagine the United States only had two postage stamps, a 3 cent stamp and a 7 cent stamp. If you can put any number of stamps on

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

not possible: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11
possible: all others

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, all multiples of 3 and 7 can be paid.

1 cent can be added by adding a 7-cent stamp and taking away two 3-cent stamps. 2 cents can be added by adding three 3-cent stamps and taking away one 7-cent stamp. Hence any value more than 7 +2(3) = 13 cents can always be accommodated.

Amounts that are impossible:

1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11 cents

All other positive integer amounts are possible.

Answer:

36900

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a linear function with equation P(t)=900+600*t. P(60)=900+600*60=36900

Intravenous fluid bags are filled by an automated filling machine. Assume that the fill volumes of the bags are independent, nor

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a) 0.0167

b) 0

c) 5.948

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 6.16 ounces

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.08 ounces

We are given that the distribution of fill volumes of bags is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) Standard deviation of 23 bags

$\displaystyle\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{23}} = \frac{0.08}{\sqrt{23}} = 0.0167$

b) P( fill volume of 23 bags is below 5.95 ounces)

P(x < 5.95)

$P( x < 5.96) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5.95 - 6.16}{0.0167}) = P(z < -12.57)$

$= 1 - P(z < 12.57)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 5.95) = 1 - 1 = 0$

c) P( fill volume of 23 bags is below 6 ounces) = 0.001

P(x < 6) = 0.001

$P( x < 6) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{6 - \mu}{0.0167})$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P( z \leq -3.09) = 0.001$

$\displaystyle\frac{6 - \mu}{0.0167} = -3.09\\\\\mu = 6 + (0.0167\times -3.09) = 5.948$

If the mean will be 5.948 then the probability that the average of 23 bags is below 6.1 ounces is 0.001.

Answer:

32 remainder 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide 162 by 5, we simply do the following:

5 goes into 16 => 3

Multiply 5 by 3 => 3 × 5 = 15

Subtract 15 from 16 => 16 – 15 = 1

Put the 1 before 2 => 12

5 goes into 12 => 2

Multiply 5 by 2 => 5 × 2 = 10

Subtract 10 from 12 => 12 – 10 => 2

In summary,

162 divided by 5 => 32 remainder 2
