Answer:

The number of boxes = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the weight of the delivery person =160 lb

The weight of each box of books=40 lb

maximum capacity of the elevator=710 lb

Let the max number of boxes of books be x. Now the total weight of the boxes and the delivery person should not exceed the maximum capacity of the elevator.

40*x+160

40*x

x

x

Therefore the maximum value of x is 13(since it is an integer).

When a graphed line is vertical, it indicates that the relation is ?​
GuDViN [60]

Answer:When a vertical line is placed across the plot of this relation, it intersects the graph more than once for some values of x. If a graph shows two or more intersections with a vertical line, then an input (x-coordinate) can have more than one output (y-coordinate), and y is not a function of x.

You take a quiz with 6 multiple choice questions. After you studied your estimated that you would have about an 80 % chance of g
Arada [10]

Answer:

1.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the probability of m  independent events you multiply the individual probability of each event. In this case we have m independent events, each one with the same probability, therefore:

p^{m}

0.8^{20} = 1.15\%

This is a particlar scenario of binomial distribution problem. So the binomial distribution questions are about the number of success of m independent events, where every individual event has the same p probability. In the question we have 20 events and each event has a probability of 80%. The binomial distribution formula is:

\binom{n}{k} * p^{k} * (1-p)^{n-k}

n is the number of events

k is the number of success

p is the probability of each individual event

\binom{n}{k} is the binomial coefficient

the binomial coefficient allows to find the subsets of k elements in a set of n elements.  In this case there is only one subset possible since the only way to get 20 of 20 correct questions is to getting right all questions (for getting 19 of 20 questions there are many ways, for example getting the first question wrong and all the other questions right, or getting second questions wrong and all the other questions right, etc).

\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

therefore, for this questions we have:

\frac{20!}{20!(20-20)!} * 0.8^{20} * (1-0.8)^{0} = 1.15\%

stiv31 [10]
Must be 16 and 21 because we can see

30 and 70 has 10 as factor
24 and 44 has 2 as factor
12 and 30 has 2 as factor and all those factors are greater than one

Bill wants to rent a car.Rental Company A charges $35 per day plus $0.10 per mile driven.Rental Company B charges $25 per day pl
zlopas [31]

Answer:

m = 200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Rental Co. A:  A(m) = $35 + ($0.10/mile)(m), where m is the number of miles driven

Rental Co. B:  B(m) = $25 + ($0.15/mile)(m)

Set these two dollar amounts equal to each other and solve for m:

$25 + ($0.15/mile)m = $35 + ($0.10/mile)(m).  Combine like terms, obtaining:

($0.05/mile)m = $10; then m = ($10) / ($0.05/mile), or 200 miles.

The price charged by the two companies would be the same when the car has been driven 200 miles.

3y + x = 12<br> What is the value of x when y = 3?
Andre45 [30]

Step-by-step explanation:

3y + x = 12

When y = 3, we have 3(3) + x = 12.

=> 9 + x = 12, x = 3.
