Each of 435 bags contains at least one of the following three items: raisins, almonds, and peanuts. The number of bags that cont

ain only raisins is 10 times the number of bags that contain only peanuts. The number of bags that contain only almonds is 20 times the number of bags that contain only raisins and peanuts. The number of bags that contain only peanuts is one-fifth the number of bags that contain only almonds. 210 bags contain almonds. How many bags contain only one kind of item?

Answer:

320 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Let's first assign some literals, to simplify the problem. The goal is to set everything up, in order to only use one symbol.

p: number of bags with only peanuts.

a: number of bags with only almonds.

r: number of bags with only raisins.

x: number of bags with only raisins and peanuts.

Now, the problem establish 3 useful equations. We can find equations equivalences for the next sentences.

<em>"The number of bags that contain only raisins is 10 times the number of bags that contain only peanuts"  </em>is equivalent to r = 10p.

<em>"The number of bags that contain only almonds is 20 times the number of bags that contain only raisins and peanuts" </em>is equivalent to a= 20x.

<em>"The number of bags that contain only peanuts is one-fifth the number of bags that contain only almonds" </em>is equivalent to p = \frac{1}{5} a.

<h3>Now, let's set every variable in function of x</h3>

We already know that a = 20x.  And because of that, we also know that

p = \frac{1}{5}a = \frac{1}{5}(20x) = 4x

and to conclude this stage of the problem, we also know that r = 10p =10(4x) = 40x

<h3>¡Let's draw it!</h3>

As there are only 3 items, it is possible to use a Venn diagram. As we can see in the diagram, the entire quantity of bags is going to be

210 + 4x + x + 40x = 210 + 45x

But, we also know that there are 435 bags, then we only have to solve the equation:

210 + 45x = 435

45x = 435 - 210

45x = 225

x = 225/45

x = 5

<h3>Conclude </h3>

Substituting x = 5 we get

a = 20 x = 20(5) = 100

p = 4 x = 4(5) = 20

r = 40 x = 40(5) = 200

Finally ans = 100 + 20 + 200 = 320

Rockwell hardness of pins of a certain type is known to have a mean value of 50 and a standard deviation of 1.3. (Round your ans
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.0039 is the probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 12 pins is at least 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 50

Standard Deviation, σ = 1.3

Sample size, n = 12

We are given that the distribution of hardness of pins is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

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

Standard error due to sampling =

=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{1.3}{\sqrt{12}} = 0.3753

P(sample mean hardness for a random sample of 12 pins is at least 51)

P( x \geq 51) = P( z \geq \displaystyle\frac{51 - 50}{0.3753}) = P(z \geq 2.6645)

= 1 - P(z < 2.6645)

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

P(x \geq 51) = 1 - 0.9961= 0.0039

0.0039 is the probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 12 pins is at least 51.

A farmer who has fixed amounts of land and capital finds that total product is 24 for the first worker hired, 32 when two worker
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A. 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal product is the increase in output (units produced) resulting from employing one more worker. Therefore, the marginal product of the second worker (M2) is given by the difference between the total product with two workers and the total product with one worker.

M_2 =32-24\\M_2 =8

The answer is A. 8.
