11.25 lbs, if I calculated this correctly.

75lbs of food = 15% tiger's food weight
? lbs tiger= 100% tiger's body weight

So you want to take the amount of food (75lbs), divide it by the amount of the tiger's food weight (15%) and then multiply it by it's total body weight (100%)
So 75 / 15 = 5
and 5 x 100 = 500
so the tiger = 500lbs

Which equation is the result of adding these two equations -2x+4y=17

Katyanochek1 [597]

The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are;

-2x+4y=17 Eqn 1

3x-10y= -3 Eqn 2

Adding Eqn 1 and Eqn 2;

$(-2x+4y)+(3x-10y)=17+(-3)\\-2x+4y+3x-10y=17-3\\3x-2x-10y+4y=14\\x-6y=14$

The right answer is Option C.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

86%

Step-by-step explanation:

430 × 100 = 430 = 86%

500 1 5

you are going to cancel. 100 divided by 100 leaves 1. 500 divided by 100 is 5.

430×1= 430. 5×1=5. divide 430 by 5 and you"ll get 86.

The following data gives the speeds (in mph), as measured by radar, of 10 cars traveling north on I-15. 76 72 80 68 76 74 71 78

____ [38]

Answer:

71.123 mph ≤ μ ≤ 77.277 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that the speed of all cars traveling on this highway have a normal distribution and we can only know the mean and the standard deviation of the sample, the confidence interval for the mean is calculated as:

$m-t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ≤ μ ≤ $m+t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where m is the mean of the sample, s is the standard deviation of the sample, n is the size of the sample, μ is the mean speed of all cars, and $t_{a/2,n-1}$ is the number for t-student distribution where a/2 is the amount of area in one tail and n-1 are the degrees of freedom.

the mean and the standard deviation of the sample are equal to 74.2 and 5.3083 respectively, the size of the sample is 10, the distribution t- student has 9 degrees of freedom and the value of a is 10%.

So, if we replace m by 74.2, s by 5.3083, n by 10 and $t_{0.05,9}$ by 1.8331, we get that the 90% confidence interval for the mean speed is:
