Let x be the amount that Jeff spent for the food and medication of his dog. With this representation, the cost of food and medication for each cat is 2x/3 - 5. The equation that best represent the given situation is


                            x + 6(2x/3 - 5) = 195

The value of x from the equation is 45. Jeff spent $45

prisoha [69]

Answer:

4.75% probability that the line pressure will exceed 1000 kPa during any measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 950, \sigma = 30

What is the probability that the line pressure will exceed 1000 kPa during any measurement

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1000. So

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

Z = \frac{1000 - 950}{30}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue of 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

4.75% probability that the line pressure will exceed 1000 kPa during any measurement
