X - pounds of the M&M`s;
y - pounds of the peanuts
x + y = 30
3 x + 2 y = 74
----------------------
y = 30 - x
3 x + 2 ( 30 - x ) = 74
3 x + 60 - 2 x = 74
x = 74 - 60
x = 14
Answer:
They bought 14 pounds of M&M`s.

Noya needs to determine the number of books that will fit into a box. If the box has a length of 18 inches and each book is Star
natima [27]

Answer:

A. 18÷2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 18÷2/9

B. 18×2/9

C. 2/9÷18

D. 9/2÷18

Let

Total length of box = 18 inches

Thickness of each book = 2/9 inches

Number of books that will fit into the box = x

Number of books that will fit into the box = Total length of box ÷ Thickness of each book

x = 18 ÷ 2/9

= 18 × 9/2

= 162/2

= 81 books

The correct answer is A. 18÷2/9

The port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) 0.7287

b) 0.9663

c) 0.237

d) 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ =  4.5 million tons of cargo per week

Standard Deviation, σ = 0 .82 million tons

We are given that the distribution of number of tons of cargo handled per week is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

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

a) P( port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week)

P(x < 5)

P( x < 5) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5 - 4.5}{0.82}) = P(z < 0.609)

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

P(x < 5) =0.7287= 72.87\%

b) P( port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week)

P(x \geq 3) = P(z \geq \displaystyle\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}) = P(z \geq −1.82926)\\\\P( z \geq −1.82926) = 1 - P(z < -1.829)

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

1 - 0.0337 = 0.9663 = 96.63\%\\P( x \geq 3) = 96.63\%

c)P( port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week)

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = P(\displaystyle\frac{3 - 4.5}{0.82} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{4-4.5}{0.82}) = P(-1.829 \leq z \leq -0.609)\\\\= P(z \leq -0.609) - P(z < -1.829)\\= 0.271-0.034 = 0.237= 23.7\%

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = 23.7\%

d) P(X=x) = 0.85

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.85.

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.15  

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

P( z \leq -1.036) = 0.15

\displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82} = -1.036\\x = 3.65

Thus, 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.
