Let's use the variables N and Q for the number of nickels and the number of quarters.

We know there are 49 total coins, so we can write the following equation:

N + Q = 49

We can solve this equation for one variable which will help in the next step. Let's solve for N:

N = 49 - Q

Next, we know that nickels are worth $0.05 and quarters are worth $0.25. We can use these values along with the total value of $8.85 to create another equation.

0.05N + 0.25Q = 8.85

Now we can use substitution to solve our system out equations. We solved the first equation for N, so we can plug 49 - Q in for N.

0.05(49-Q) + 0.25Q = 8.85

Distribute and combine like terms.

2.45 - 0.05Q + 0.25Q = 8.85

2.45 + 0.2Q = 8.85

0.2Q = 6.4

Q = 32

Plug 32 in for Q in N + Q = 49 to find the number of nickels.

N + 32 = 49

N = 17

Dustin has 32 quarters and 17 nickels.

Among freshman at a certain university, scores on the Math SAT followed the normal curve, with an average of 550 and an SD of 10
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

a) 6.68th percentile

b) 617.5 points

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 550, \sigma = 100

a) A student who scored 400 on the Math SAT was at the ______ th percentile of the score distribution.

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

Z = \frac{400 - 550}{100}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

So this student is in the 6.68th percentile.

b) To be at the 75th percentile of the distribution, a student needed a score of about ______ points on the Math SAT.

He needs a score of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675.

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

0.675 = \frac{X - 550}{100}

X - 550 = 0.675*100

X = 617.5

The volume of a cone is 3πx3 cubic units and its height is x units. Which expression represents the radius of the cone’s base, i
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

<em>r=3x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Volume of a Cone</u>

The volume of a cone of radius r and height h is:

\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}\pi hr^2

We are given the volume of a cone is

V=3\pi x^3

Equating:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\pi hr^2=3\pi x^3

Multiplying by 3:

\pi hr^2=9\pi x^3

Simplifying by pi:

hr^2=9 x^3

Since h=x:

xr^2=9 x^3

Dividing by x:

r^2=9 x^2

Taking square roots:

r=\sqrt{9 x^2}=3x

Thus: r=3x
