Solve this problem on paper using all four steps. A girl scout troop sold cookies. If the girls sold 5 more boxes the second wee

k than they did the first, and if they doubled the sales of the second week for the third week to sell a total of 431 boxes of cookies, how many did they sell each week?

The first week they sold 104 Boxes.
T<span>hey sold 109 Boxes the Second Week.</span>
Then lastly they sold 218 boxes the third week.
Hope this helps and perhaps brainliest?

This is a problem where you should make an equation.
Let's say x is the first week. It would mean
First Week : x
Second Week : x + 5
Third Week : 2(x+5)
You need to add these up to make your equation. Your equation will look something like this :
x+x+5+2(x+5) = 431
Now you simplify.
2x+5+2x+10 = 431
4x+15 = 431
4x = 416
x = 104
That means they sold 104 Boxes in the First Week.
104+5=109
So they sold 109 Boxes the Second Week.
109 x 2 = 218
And they sold 218 Boxes the Third Week.

I hope I was useful!

The hourly median power (in decibels) of received radio signals transmitted between two cities
trasher [3.6K]

Using the lognormal and the binomial distributions, it is found that:

  • The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.
  • There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.
  • There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

In a <em>lognormal </em>distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of \mu = 3.5.
  • The standard deviation is of \sigma = \sqrt{1.22}

Question 1:

The 90th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, hence <u>X when Z = 1.28.</u>

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

1.28 = \frac{\ln{X} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

\ln{X} - 3.5 = 1.28\sqrt{1.22}

\ln{X} = 1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5

e^{\ln{X}} = e^{1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5}

X = 136

The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.

Question 2:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 150</u>, hence:

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

Z = \frac{\ln{150} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

Z = 1.37

Z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147.

There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.

Question 3:

10 signals, hence, the binomial distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, we have that p = 0.9147, n = 10, and we want to find P(X = 6), then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.9147)^{6}.(0.0853)^{4} = 0.0065

There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

Solve this pls<br> -5x - 10 = 10
Vanyuwa [196]

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x = 10 + 10

-5x = 20

X = 20/-5

X = -4

check :

-5 x -4 =20

20 =20

The volume inside of a sphere is V=4πr33 where r is the radius of the sphere. Your group has been asked to rearrange the formula
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of inside of the sphere is given as

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

where r is the radius of the sphere

To Find:

r =?

Solution:

We have

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}   ......Given

3\times V=4\pi r^{3} \\\\\therefore r^{3}=\frac{3V}{4\pi } \\\\\therefore r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }} \textrm{which is the expression for r}

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r
