Answer:
4.27%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that college students average 8.6 hours of sleep per night with a standard deviation of 35 minutes. We are asked to find the probability of college students that sleep for more than 9.6 hours.
We will use z-score formula to solve our given problem.
z = z-score,
x = Random sample score,
= Mean,
= Standard deviation.
Before substituting our given values in z-score formula, we need to convert 35 minutes to hours.
Now, we need to find 
.
Using formula 
, we will get:
Using normal distribution table, we will get:
Therefore, 4.27% of college students sleep for more than 9.6 hours.
Answer:
18 Skittles
6 M&Ms
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation:
Variable x = number of skittles
Variable y = number of M&Ms
1.50x + 2y = 39
x + y = 24
In the second equation, isolate a variable:
x = 24 - y
Substitute the value of x for 24 - y in the first equation:
1.50(24 - y) + 2y = 39
Use distributive property
36 - 1.5y + 2y = 39
Combine like terms
36 + 0.5y = 39
Isolate variable y:
0.5y = 3
y = 6
Substitute the value of y for 6 in the second equation:
x + 6 = 24
Isolate variable x:
x = 18
Plug these values into any equation of your choice to see if these values are correct (I'll do both equations just to prove it):
1.50(18) + 2(6) = 39
27 + 12 = 39
39 = 39
Correct
x + y = 24
18 + 6 = 24
24 = 24
Correct
Solution:
As we have to write an expression , which evaluates to true if the value of the integer variable x is divisible (with no remainder) by the integer variable y, y≠0.
so, when x is divided by y we should get remainder as 0.
Using Euclid division lemma
x= y* q + m, i.e when an integer x is divided by y gives quotient q and remainder m.
Here , m=0
So, x = q * y
So, the expression which describes the above relationship is ,
, where q is Quotient.
<h3>Answer: As a fraction, HC is 21/4 units long</h3><h3>In decimal form, HC is 5.25 units long.</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
Let x = HC and y = BH
AH = 12-x since AH = 12-HC and x = HC
---------------
See the attached drawing below. The altitude BH forms three similar triangles which makes the proportion below possible
HC/BH = BH/AH
x/y = y/(12-x) ... substitution
x(12-x) = y^2 ... cross multiply
y^2 = -x^2+12x
note how I isolated y^2 instead of y. We will use this equation later.
---------------
Focus on triangle AHB. Use the pythagorean theorem
(BH)^2 + (AH)^2 = (AB)^2
(y)^2 + (12-x)^2 = (9)^2
y^2 + 144-24x+x^2 = 81
-x^2+12x + 144-24x+x^2 = 81 ... replace y^2 with -x^2+12x
-x^2+12x + 144-24x+x^2-81 = 0
-12x + 63 = 0
-12x = -63
x = -63/(-12)
x = 5.25 <<-- answer in decimal form
x = 5 + 0.25
x = 5 + 1/4
x = 20/4 + 1/4
x = 21/4 <<-- answer as a fraction
