Answer:

The difference between 19 and 8 is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The difference between a number and 8 is 11

Find the number.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be $=x$

The difference between the unknown number can be written as:

$x-8$

We are given that the difference =11

So we can write the equation to find $x$ as :

$x-8=11$

Using additive property to solve for $x$

Adding 8 to both sides to isolate $x$ on one side.

$x-8+8=11+8$

∴ $x=19$

∴ The unknown number = 19

Can someone help please

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

11/8 or, 1 and 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to make both the denominators the same. In this case, we can multiply 3/4 by 2, to make 4, the denominator, into 8. What we do to the denominator, we must do to the numerator! So, we multiply 3 by 2, and get 6!

Now we have, 5/8 + 6/8, which equals 11/8! Which can also be simplified to 1 and 3/8 (because the numerator is larger than the denominator)

Hope this helps! :)

Jeans are on sale for 20% off the regular price. Which function would give you the total cost for purchasing a pair of jeans tha

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

0.8X = Final cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that jeans are on sale for 20% off the regular price, to determine which function would give you the total cost for purchasing a pair of jeans that costs X dollars, the following calculation must be performed:

1X = Initial cost of the jeans

20% = 0.2

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

0.8X = Final cost

The operation manager at a tire manufacturing company believes that the mean mileage of a tire is 30,393 miles, with a standard

Pie

Answer:

52.84% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by less than 339 miles in a sample of 37 tires if the manager is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem:

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 30393, \sigma = 2876, n = 37, s = \frac{2876}{\sqrt{37}} = 472.81$

What is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by less than 339 miles in a sample of 37 tires if the manager is correct

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 30393 + 339 = 30732 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 30393 - 339 = 30054. So

X = 30732

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{30732 - 30393}{472.81}$

$Z = 0.72$

$Z = 0.72$ has a pvalue of 0.7642.

X = 30054

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{30054 - 30393}{472.81}$

$Z = -0.72$

$Z = -0.72$ has a pvalue of 0.2358

0.7642 - 0.2358 = 0.5284

52.84% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by less than 339 miles in a sample of 37 tires if the manager is correct
