Question 18 Item 18 The distribution of the number of moths captured per night by a certain moth trap is approximately normal wi

th mean 103. If 28 percent of the captures fall below 76 per night, which of the following equations can be used to find σ, the standard deviation of the distribution?

Answer:

Standard deviation 46.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A 28% of the distribution is equivalent to a z score of -0.5828, you can use a z table to find that.

Z score is calculated as follows:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

x is the number being evaluated

μ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

And it is used to calculate how many standard deviations you are from the mean of the sample.

Replacing with the known information you can calculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\frac{x-\mu}{z} =\frac{76-103}{-0.5828}= 46.3

If 2 pounds of bananas cost $1.89, what is the cost per pound? Show your work
OLEGan [10]
You can set up an expression where p = the pounds of bananas.
With that information, 2p =$1.89
To figure out the cost per pound, you want the cost of 1 p. Therefore, you divide both sides by 2. 
p = $1.89/2
p = $0.945
(since it is money you normally round to two decimal places so you would say $0.95 or 95 cents)

I dont know the answer to this question I dont know what I can put for the x and the y
harina [27]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the values of x and y by working the problem using any of the methods of solving simultaneous equations that you have been taught.

Here, you observe that the y-coefficients are the same in each equation. That means you can cancel the y-terms by subtracting one equation from the other.

  (7x +6y) -(4x +6y) = (-4) -(8)

  3x = -12 . . . . simplify

  x = -4 . . . . . . divide by 3

Now, you can substitute this into either equation to find y.

 4(-4) +6y = 8

  6y = 24 . . . . . . . . add 16

  y = 4 . . . . . . . . divide by 6

The solution to this system of equation is ...

  • x = -4
  • y = 4
