Answer:

$2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of one apple be x

and the price of one orange y

Hence ;

One apple and 3 oranges would cost:

x + 3×y = $5.10----------------------------(1)

One apple and 5 oranges would cost;

x + 5×y = $7.50--------------------------(2)

Subtracting eqn (1) from (2), we have :

x-x + 5y -3y = 7.5- 5.1

2y = 2.4

y = $1.2

From eqn(1)

x + 3y = $5.10

x= $5.10-3($1.2) = $5.10-$3.6 = $1.5

Hence x=$1.5 and y= $1.2

We are required to find the cost of one apple and one orange, hence :

x+y = $1.5+$1.2= $2.7

A normally distributed set of numbers has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 7.97. What percentage of values lies between
lana [24]

Answer:

63% of the values lies between 70 and 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a normally distributed set of numbers has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 7.97.

<em>Let X = Set of numbers</em>

The z-score probability distribution for is given by;

                Z = \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean value = 75

            \sigma = standard deviation = 7.97

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, percentage of values that lies between 70 and 85 is given by = P(70 < X < 85) = P(X < 85) - P(X \leq 70)

   P(X < 85) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{  85-75}{7.97} ) = P(Z < 1.25) = 0.89435  {using z table}

   P(X \leq 70) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{  70-75}{7.97} ) = P(Z \leq -0.63) = 1 - P(Z < 0.63)

                                                 = 1 - 0.73565 = 0.26435

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.25 and x = 0.63 in the z table which has an area of 0.89435 and 0.73565 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P(70 < X < 85) = 0.89435 - 0.26435 = 0.63 or 63%

<em>Hence, 63% of the values lies between 70 and 85.</em>

Choose the definition for the function. please help me
fredd [130]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is usually sufficient to look at one section of the graph to answer a question like this. Often the best choice is the section that has a solid dot at the end of the curve. Here, that is the right section.

The left end of the right section is at x=-2, so that part of the function is defined for x ≥ -2. The line to the right has a positive slope, so the coefficient of x will be positive.

Only one answer choice has a positive x-coefficient for x ≥ -2.

I just need an explanation on why I was wrong and why the correct answer is correct
Alja [10]

Answer:

B 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the divisor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, -c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

2| -2 1 5 0 4 1

↓ -4 -6 -2 -4 0

_________________

-2 -3 -1 -2 0 1→ -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹

You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [-2x⁵ + x⁴ + 5x³ + 4x + 1]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is, tells you whether the next step is to <em>subtract</em> or <em>add</em>, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that -2 in your quotient can be a -2x⁴, and the -3 [x³] follows right behind it, then 1 [-x²], -2[x], and finally, [1\x - 2] (remainder is 1, so set it over your denominator, which is the divisor), giving you the other factor of -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
