Answer:

$3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the amount invested at 7% is $X and the amount invested at 10% is $Y (assuming that the college student invested all his/her income on the two schemes). Therefore:

X + Y = 8200 (The sum of investments is basically the total income).

0.07X + 0.1Y = 664 (The sum of the interest received from the invested amounts is actually the total return).

Now solving these 2 simultaneous equations:

x + y = 8200 (Equation 1)

7x + 10y = 66400 (Equation 2)

From (Equation 1):

x = 8200 - y (Equation 3)

Put (Equation 3) in (Equation 2):

7(8200 - y) + 10y = 66400.

57400 - 7y + 10y = 66400.

3y = 9000

y = 3000.

$Y is the amount invested at 10%, therefore the final answer is $3000!!!

The weights of baskets of strawberries are normally distributed with a mean of 3.8 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.1 ounces
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

this one is mainly elimination. 3.8 and 4.9 cant be because they're too close to the mean. and 7.1 is too far. you can also use z-score. the z score of .975 is 1.96 we can plug that into out formula so

1.96=(x-3.8)/1.1

multiply both sides by 1.1 and then add 3.8

you can also use scientific calculator.

second vars, 3, the area is your percent so .975, the u is mean so 3.8, the o is standard deviation so 1.1
