4500+750=5250.

7.25*5250/100=380.625

525+380.63=905.63

Et y represent the number of students in the group who are not members. You can write an expression for y in terms of x from the information given. What do you know? The total number of students = 19 x + y = 19 which gives you y = 19 - x OR you also know the total cost is 209 and you can use that and the cost of the two types of tickets to obtain an expression for y in terms of x.

A bus travels at a speed of 40 miles per hour and reaches Hogville in 40 minutes. If a cab takes 35 minutes to reach the same sp

OLga [1]

Answer:

45.7miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

40mins = 2/3 hour

the bus travelled (2/3 x 40) miles = 80/3 miles

the cab took 35 mins (which is 7/12 hour) so it's speed is (80/3)/(7/12) miles/hour = 45.714 miles/hour (5 s.f.)

4- A manufacturing process produces items whose weights are normally distributed. It is known that 22.57% of all the items produ

galben [10]

Answer:

$\\ \mu = 118\;grams\;and\;\sigma=30\;grams$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use z-scores and a standard normal table to find the values that corresponds to the probabilities given, and then to solve a system of equations to find $\\ \mu\;and\;\sigma$ .

<h3>First Case: items from 100 grams to the mean</h3>

For finding probabilities that corresponds to z-scores, we are going to use here a <u>Standard Normal Table </u><u><em>for cumulative probabilities from the mean </em></u><em>(Standard normal table. Cumulative from the mean (0 to Z), 2020, in Wikipedia) </em>that is, the "probability that a statistic is between 0 (the mean) and Z".

A value of a z-score for the probability P(100<x<mean) = 22.57% = 0.2257 corresponds to a value of z-score = 0.6, that is, the value is 0.6 standard deviations from the mean. Since this value is <em>below the mean</em> ("the items produced weigh between 100 grams up to the mean"), then the z-score is negative.

Then

$\\ z = -0.6\;and\;z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$\\ -0.6 = \frac{100-\mu}{\sigma}$ (1)

<h3>Second Case: items from the mean up to 190 grams</h3>

We can apply the same procedure as before. A value of a z-score for the probability P(mean<x<190) = 49.18% = 0.4918 corresponds to a value of z-score = 2.4, which is positive since it is after the mean.

Then

$\\ z =2.4\;and\; z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$\\ 2.4 = \frac{190-\mu}{\sigma}$ (2)

<h3>Solving a system of equations for values of the mean and standard deviation</h3>

Having equations (1) and (2), we can form a system of two equations and two unknowns values:

$\\ -0.6 = \frac{100-\mu}{\sigma}$ (1)

$\\ 2.4 = \frac{190-\mu}{\sigma}$ (2)

Rearranging these two equations:

$\\ -0.6*\sigma = 100-\mu$ (1)

$\\ 2.4*\sigma = 190-\mu$ (2)

To solve this system of equations, we can multiply (1) by -1, and them sum the two resulting equation:

$\\ 0.6*\sigma = -100+\mu$ (1)

$\\ 2.4*\sigma = 190-\mu$ (2)

Summing both equations, we obtain the following equation:

$\\ 3.0*\sigma = 90$

Then

$\\ \sigma = \frac{90}{3.0} = 30$

To find the value of the mean, we need to substitute the value obtained for the standard deviation in equation (2):

$\\ 2.4*30 = 190-\mu$ (2)

$\\ 2.4*30 - 190 = -\mu$

$\\ -2.4*30 + 190 = \mu$

$\\ \mu = 118$

Which of the following is the standard form of 36 / 24

RSB [31]

Answer:

15 x 10^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

36÷24=1.5

In this case I'm considering 15 as the base of my standard form.

To make 15 a 1.5, you'll have to move from right to left one unit and on the number line moving from the right to left gives you a negative number of units moved
