Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.

Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar. Let x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce. Identify each point as either a solution to the system or not a solution to the system of inequalities. (1, 12) (2, 10) (4, 5) (6, 10) (12, 8) (18, 6) .

Answer:

Solutions: (2,10), (4,5)

Not solutions: (1,12), (6,10), (12,8), (18,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of packages of pasta and y be the number of jars of pasta sauce. If pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package, then x packages of pasta cost $x and weigh x pounds. If pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar, then y jars cost $3y and weigh 1.5y pounds.

1. Tyler has $36, then

x+3y\le 36.

2. Tyler can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack, then

x+1.5y\le 20.

You get the following system of inequalities:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+3y\le 36\\ x+1.5y\le 20\end{array}\right.

Now substitute the coordinates of each point:

<u>(1,12):</u>

\left\{\begin{array}{l}1+3\cdot 12=37> 36\\ 1+1.5\cdot 12=19\le 20\end{array}\right.

False, because first inequality doesn't hold.

<u>(2,10):</u>

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2+3\cdot 10=32\le 36\\ 2+1.5\cdot 10=17\le 20\end{array}\right.

True, both inequalities hold.

<u>(4,5):</u>

\left\{\begin{array}{l}4+3\cdot 5=19\le 36\\ 4+1.5\cdot 5=11.5\le 20\end{array}\right.

True, both inequalities hold.

<u>(6,10):</u>

\left\{\begin{array}{l}6+3\cdot 10=36\le 36\\ 6+1.5\cdot 10=21> 20\end{array}\right.

False, because secondt inequality doesn't hold.

<u>(12,8):</u>

\left\{\begin{array}{l}12+3\cdot 8=36\le 36\\ 12+1.5\cdot 8=24> 20\end{array}\right.

False, because second inequality doesn't hold.

<u>(18,6):</u>

\left\{\begin{array}{l}18+3\cdot 6=36\le 36\\ 18+1.5\cdot 6=27> 20\end{array}\right.

False, because second inequality doesn't hold.

A set of data with a mean of 53, and a standard deviation of 6.2 is normally distributed. Find the value of a data point that is
Evgesh-ka [11]

The value of a data point that is -2 standard deviations from the mean

so, 40.6 to 65.4.

<h3>What is the empirical rule?</h3>

According to the empirical rule, also known as the 68-95-99.7 rule, the percentage of values that lie within an interval with 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lies within one, two, or three standard deviations of the mean of the distribution.

P(\mu - \sigma < X < \mu + \sigma)  \approx 68\%\\P(\mu - 2\sigma < X < \mu + 2\sigma)  \approx 95\%\\P(\mu - 3\sigma < X < \mu + 3\sigma)  \approx 99.7\%

From the empirical rule, we know that for 95% we are in 2 standard deviations of the mean. so:

= 53- 6.2- 6.2

= 40.6

The value of a data point that is -2 standard deviations from the mean

53 + 6.2 + 6.2

= 65.4
