Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Side lenght of square = (x + 3)

Side length of equilateral triangle = (3x - 1)

It is Given that:

Perimeter of square = Perimeter of equilateral triangle

4 times side length of square = 3 times side length of equilateral triangle.

\therefore \: 4(x + 3) = 3(3x - 1) \\  \\  \therefore \: 4x + 12 = 9x - 3  \\ \\ \therefore \:12 + 3 = 9x - 4x \\  \\ \therefore \:15 = 5x \\  \\ \therefore \:x =  \frac{15}{5}  \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \:x = 3}}

At a factory that produces pistons for cars, Machine 1 produced 174 satisfactory pistons and 116 unsatisfactory pistons today. M
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

0.7 is the probability that the piston chosen from Machine 1 is satisfactory and the piston chosen from Machine 2 is unsatisfactory

Step-by-step explanation:

The two events are independent of each other.

Hence the probability of choosing satisfactory piston from Machine 1 and unsatisfactory piston from Machine 2 is equal  probability of choosing satisfactory piston from Machine 1 + probability of choosing unsatisfactory piston from Machine 2

Substituting the given values we get

Probability of choosing satisfactory piston from Machine 1 and unsatisfactory piston from Machine 2 =\frac{174}{174 +116} + \frac{20}{180 +20}

=\frac{174}{174 +116} + \frac{20}{180 +20}

== \frac{174}{290} + \frac{20}{200}\\= 0.6 + 0.1\\= 0.7

For 300 trading​ days, the daily closing price of a stock​ (in $) is well modeled by a Normal model with mean ​$196.99 and stand
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 2.5% b) 84% c) 95% d) D. The more unusual day is if the stock closed below $185 because it has the largest absolute z-score.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a) b) and c) we will use the empirical rule, so, we can observe the image shown below

a) 211.23 is exactly two standard deviation above the mean, so, the probability that on a randomly selected day in this period the stock price closed above 211.23 is 2.35% + 0.15% = 2.5%  

b) 204.11 represents exactly one standard deviation above the mean, so, the probability of being below 204.11 is 50% + 34% = 84%

c) The probability of getting a value between 182.75 and 211.23 is 95%, this because 182.75 is exactly two standard deviations below the mean and 211.23 is exactly two standard deviations above the mean.

d) The z-score related to 208 is z_{1} = (208-196.99)/7.12 = 1.5 and the z-score related to 185 is  z_{2} = (185-196.99)/7.12 = -1.7, therefore, the more unusual day is if the stock closed below $185 because it has the largest absolute z-score.

rosijanka [135]
First of all, I like the name "westside" for a bakery. :)

OK, so, you can make a proportion for this problem.

440 lbs.= 1000 cakes.
? unknown =  1 cake.
 440 divided by 1000 = 0.44 pounds

5x - 7y =58

y =-x +2


Using the substitution method, replace y in the first equation with the second equation:

5x - 7(-x+2) = 58

Simplify by using the distribution property:

5x - (-7x) - 14 = 58

Simplify by combining like terms:

12x -14 = 58

Add 14 from each side of the equation:

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12:

X = 72/12

x = 6


Now you have x, replace x in the second equation and solve for y:

y = -x +2

y = -6 +2

y = -4


X = 6, y = -4
