A solar heating system costs $25,000 to install with a yearly operating cost of $300. An electric heating system costs $6,500 to

install but incurs a yearly operating cost of $4,000. How many years will pass before the total cost of the solar heating system is less than the total cost of the electric heating system? Round your answer to the nearest year, if needed. Type in your numerical answer only; do not type any words or letters with your answer.

Scores of an IQ test have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 12. Use the empirical rule t
MissTica

Answer:

A) 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.

B) 5% of people have an IQ score less than 76 or greater than 124.

C) 16% of people have an IQ score greater than 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule tells us that, in a normal or 'bell-shaped' distribution, 68% of the data is one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data is two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% of the data is three standard deviations from the mean.

A) 64 and 136 are 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.

B) 76 and 124 are 2 standard devations away from the mean, but the answer is asking what percentage is not between them. 100% - 95% gives us 5%.

C) 112 is one standard deviation away from the mean. If we want to find the percentage greater, then we can do 100% - 50% (as 112 is to the left of the mean), then we can take half of 68 to get 34%, and after subtracting 50% and 34% from the 100%, we get 16%.

Pam needs 3 1/2 cups of sugar to make 50 cupcakes. A 5- pound bag of sugar coats $3.69. There are about 2 cups of sugar in a pou
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total amount of cupcakes = 50

Total amount of sugar = 3 1/2 cups = 3.5 cups

Cost of 5-pound bag = $3.69

2 cups = 1 pound

Total cost = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the amount of pounds needed

                  2 cups ------------------ 1 pound

                  3.5 cups ---------------  x

                  x = (3.5 x 1) / 2

                  x = 3.5 / 2

                  x = 1.75 pounds

2.- Calculate the price of 1.75 pounds

                  5 pounds -------------- $3.69

                  1.75 pounds ----------    x

                  x = (1.75 x 3.69)/5

                  x = 6.46/5

                 x = $1.29

3.- Conclusion

The cost of sugar to prepare 50 cupcakes is $1.29

What is the equation of the graph
AveGali [126]

Answer:

y = 2x^2 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph you see there is called a parabola. The general equation for the graph is as below

y = a*x^2 + b

To find the equation we need to find the constants a and b. The constant b is just how much we're lifting the parabola by. Notice it's lifted by 1 on the y axis.

To find a it's a little more tricky. Let's use the graph to find a value for a by plugging in values we know. We know that b is 1 from the previous step, and we know that when x=1, y=3. Let's use that!

3 = a * (1)^2 + 1\\2 = a

Awesome, we've found both values. And we can write the result.

y = 2x^2 + 1

I'll include a plotted graph with our equation just so you can verify it is indeed the same.
