Answer: 2.5 pounds of beef  and 3.25 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is incomplete because is lacking how much more pork she bought. <em>She bought 0.75 pounds more pork than beef and spends $15.25</em>, is the complete form.

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Beef: $3.50 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pork: $2.00 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pounds of beef = x </em>
  • <em>Pounds of pork = x + 0.75 </em>
  • <em>Total cost : $15.25</em>

So, the equation is:

3.50x + 2 (x+0.75) = 15.25

3.50x +2x + 1.5 =15.25

5.50 x = 15.25 -1.5

5.50x = 13.75

x = 13.75/5.50  

x = 2.5 pounds of beef

Replacing the value of x in the Pork's equation:

Pounds of pork = x +0.75 = 0.75 +2.5 = 3.25 pounds of pork

Find the center and the radius of the circle with the equation .
Simora [160]

We have been given an equation of circle x^2+2x+y^2-2y-14=0. We are asked to find the center and radius of the circle.

First of all, we will write equation of circle is standard form (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where center of circle is at point (h,k) and radius is r.

Let us complete the square for both x and y.

x^2+2x+y^2-2y-14+14=0+14

x^2+2x+y^2-2y=14

Adding half the square of coefficient of x and y term, we will get:

(\frac{2}{2})^2=1^2=1

(\frac{-2}{2})^2=(-1)^2=1

x^2+2x+1+y^2-2y+1=14+1+1

(x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=16

(x-(-1))^2+(y-1)^2=4^2

Therefore, the center of the circle is (-1,1) and radius is 4 units.

The probability distribution for the random variable x follows. x f(x) 20 0.20 25 0.15 30 0.30 35 0.35 (a) Is this probability d
Damm [24]

Answer:

(a) The probability distribution is valid.

(b) The probability that x = 30 is 0.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of the random variable <em>X</em> is:

<em>    x</em>:  20   |  25  |  30   |   35

f (<em>x</em>): 0.20 | 0.15 | 0.30 | 0.35

(a)

The properties of a probability distribution are:

  1. 0 ≤ P (X) ≤ 1
  2. ∑ P (X) = 1

All the probability value are more than 0 and less than 1.

Compute the sum of all the probabilities as follows:

\sum P(X)=0.20+0.15+0.30+0.35=1

The sum of all probabilities is 1.

Thus, the probability distribution is valid.

(b)

Consider the probability distribution table.

The probability of <em>X</em> = 30 is,

P (X = 30) = 0.30.

Thus, the probability that x = 30 is 0.30.
