Let X = the 29% alloy and Y = the 60% alloy.

They want a total of 80kg, so you have X +Y = 80

Rewrite that to get X = 80-Y


You also want 0.20X + 0.60Y = 0.52(80)

Replace X with 80-y:

0.20(80-y) + 0.60y = 0.52(80)

Simplify:

16 - 0.20y + 0.60y = 41.6

Combine like terms:

16 +0.40y = 41.6

Subtract 16 from each side:

0.40y = 25.6

Divide both sides by 0.40

y = 25.6 / 0.40

y = 64


Now you have Y replace y with 80 in X = 80-Y

X = 80 - 64

X = 16

They need 64 Kg of the 60% alloy and 16 Kg of the 20% alloy.

Chapter 6, Section 1-D, Exercise 009 Is a Normal Distribution Appropriate? In each case below, is the sample size large enough s
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

Chapter 6, Section 1-D, Exercise 009 Is a Normal Distribution Appropriate? In each case below, is the sample size large enough so that the sample proportions follow a normal distribution?

a) n=600 p=0.2

b) n=20, p=0.4

if np=10 and npq=10 then  the data follows normal distribution

a) np= 120,

q= 1-0.2= 0.8

npq= 600 ×0.2×0.4 = 48

Normal distribution is appropriate and sample size is large enough

b) np= 8

q= 1-0.4= 0.6

npq= 20 × 0.4×0.6= 4.8

sample size is not large enough so normal distribution is not appropriate.

PLS HELP ,,,

The function, g(x), has a constant rate of change and will increase at a faster rate than the function f(x) for all the values of x.  

Given:

g(x) = 5/2 x -3 ..... (1)

f(x) = - 3.5 at x = 0

So, putting the value of x=0 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

g(x) at x = 0

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (0) - 3

=> g(x) = -3

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to -3.5.

Similarly, put x = 1 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (1) - 3

=> g(x) = (5-6)/2

=> g(x) = -1/2

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to -1.

Similarly, put x = 2 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (2) - 3

=> g(x) = (5-3)

=> g(x) = 2

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to 1.5.

Similarly, put x = 3 in equation (1) for comparison. We get,

=> g(x) = 5/2 x (3) - 3

=> g(x) = (15/2 - 3)

=> g(x) = 7.5 - 3

=> g(x) = 4.5

In this value of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x) having a value equal to 4.

Therefore, for all values of x function g(x) is faster than function f(x).

function f(x).
