Answer:

$26

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with $56.

Add $265, obtaining a + balance of $321.

Let x represent the unit price of the backpacks.  Then:

$321 - 3x = $243.

Combining like terms:

3x = $78

Then x, the price of the individual backpack, was $78/3, or $26.

56+265= 321
321-243= 78
78/3= 26
Each backpack cost $26

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

First solve for x

then substitute

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x+3}{3}= \frac{y+2}{2}

6(\frac{x+3}{3}=\frac{y+2}{2})

2x + 6 = 3y + 6

2x = 3y

x = \frac{3y}{2}

If \frac{x+3}{3}= \frac{y+2}{2} then \frac{x}{3} =

x = \frac{3y}{2} /3 = \frac{y}3}

Henry wants to center a towel rack on a wall that is 76.8 inches long. How much space will be between the end of the wall and th
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The space between the end of the wall and the towel rack will be <u>9.2 inches</u>.

<h3>What is space?</h3>

Space is the relative position of objects at a distance from one another.

In this instance, space refers to the empty area at each end of the towel rack.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The length of the towel rack = 58.4 inches

The length of the wall = 76.8 inches

The difference between the lengths of rack and wall = 18.4 inches (76.8 - 58.4)

Since Henry wants the towel rack to be centered, the space between the end of the wall and the towel rack will be <u>9.2 inches</u> (18.4/2).

Thus, the space between the end of the wall and the towel rack will be <u>9.2 inches</u>.

suppose X and Y are independent random variables, both with normal distributions. If X has a mean of 45 with a standard deviatio
djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

\mu_X = 45, \sigma_X = 4, \mu_Y = 35, \sigma_Y = 3

What is the probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

This means that the subtraction of X by Y has to be positive.

When we subtract two normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of their means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of their variances. So

\mu = \mu_X - \mu_Y = 45 - 35 = 0

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5

We want to find P(X > 0), that is, 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0 - 10}{5}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228

1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y
