Margo can purchase tile at a store for $0.89 per tile and rent a tile saw for $27. At another store she can borrow the tile saw

for free if she buys tiles there for $1.19 per tile. How many tiles must she buy for the cost to be the same at both stores?

She must buy 90 tiles for the cost to be the same at both stores

Step-by-step explanation:

Margo can purchase tile in one of two stores

  • $0.89 per tile and rent a tile saw for $27 in the first store
  • borrow the tile saw for free and $1.19 per tile in the second store

We need to find how many tiles she must buy for the cost to be the

same at both stores

Assume that she will buy n tiles

1st store:

∵ She buys n tiles

∵ The cost of each tile = $0.89

∵ She rents a tile saw for $27

∴ The cost of the first store = 27 + 0.89 n

2nd store:

∵ She buys n tiles

∵ The cost of each tile = $1.19

∵ She rents a tile saw for free

∴ The cost of the second store = 1.19 n

Equate the costs of the two stores

∵ 1.19 n = 27 + 0.89 n

- Subtract 0.89 n from both sides

∴ 0.3 n = 27

- Divide both sides by 0.3

∴ n = 90 tiles

She must buy 90 tiles for the cost to be the same at both stores

Use the empirical rule to solve the problem. The annual precipitation for one city is normally distributed with a mean of 288 in
nadezda [96]

Answer:

z=-1.99

z=1.99

And if we solve for a we got

a=288 -1.99*3.7=214.4

a=288 +1.99*3.7=295.4

And the limits for this case are: (214.4; 295.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the annual precipitation of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(288,3.7)  

Where \mu=288 and \sigma=3.7

The confidence level is 95.44 and the signficance is 1-0.9544=0.0456 and the value of \alpha/2 =0.0228. And the critical value for this case is z = \pm 1.99

Using this condition we can find the limits

z=-1.99

z=1.99

And if we solve for a we got

a=288 -1.99*3.7=214.4

a=288 +1.99*3.7=295.4

And the limits for this case are: (214.4; 295.4)

Find the length of the arc shown in brown. Leave your answer in terms of pi.
just olya [345]
The central angle that captures the brown arc is 120°. To find out what fraction of the total circumference the brown arc is, we can find the ratio of this 120° angle to the total central angle of a circle, which is 360°. So we have:

\frac{120}{360} = \frac{1}{3}

Now we know the brown arc is \frac{1}{3} of the total circumference. The circumference is π*diameter, so in this case it’s 24π.

Finally, we do:

\frac{1}{3}*24 \pi =8 \pi \text{ feet}

Please solve all with explanation
spayn [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4.coordinate points are:

(-2,3)=(x1 , y1)

(1,y)=(x2 , y2)

slope =y2-y1/x2-x1

2=y-3/1-(-2)

2=y-3/1+2

2=y-3/3

do cross multiplication

2*3=y-3

6+3=y

9=y

3 no.

3(1-x)=-2(x-1)

3-3x=-2x+2

3-2=-2x+3x

1=x

4+y/3=2

4+y=3*2

4+y=6

y=6-4

y=2
