Answer:

The cost for each pound of chocolate chips is $2.75 and the cost for each pound of walnuts is $3.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+7y=51

3x+5y=27

----------------

9x+7y=51

-3(3x+5y)=-3(27)

-------------------------

9x+7y=51

-9x-15y=-81

-------------------

-8y=-30

8y=30

y=30/8

simplify,

y=15/4

9x+7(15/4)=51

9x+105/4=51

9x=51-105/4

9x=(204-105)/4

9x=99/4

x=(99/4)/9

x=(99/4)(1/9)=99/36

simplify

x=2.75

So the cost for each pound of chocolate chips is $2.75 and the cost for each pound of walnuts is $3.75.

Given: F(x) = 5x - 6 and G(x) = x - 4
fomenos

Answer:

Correct choice is \dfrac{x+26}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If F(x)=5x-6, then you can find the inverse F^{-1}(x):

y=5x-6,\\ \\5x=y+6,\\ \\x=\dfrac{y+6}{5},\\ \\F^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+6}{5}.

2. If G(x)=x-4, then

y=x-4,\\ \\x=y+4,\\ \\G^{-1}(x)=x+4.

3. Hence,

G^{-1}(F^{-1}(x))=G^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+6}{5}\right)=\dfrac{x+6}{5}+4=\dfrac{x+26}{5}.

The area of a regular octagon is 35 cm 2 what is the area of a regular octagon with sides three times as large
Maurinko [17]
The area of a polygon = n*side^2 / (4 * tan(180/n))
where "n" is the number of sides

Let's calculate area for side = 2
area = 8*2^2 / (4 * tan(180/8))
area = 32 / (4 * tan(22.5))
area = 32 / 4*0.41421
<span> <span> <span> area = 19.3138746047 </span> </span> </span>

Now, let's calculate area for side = 6
area = 8*6^2 / (4 * tan(180/8))
area = 288 / <span> <span> <span> 1.65684 </span> </span> </span>
area = <span> <span> <span> 173.824871442 </span> </span> </span>

<span> <span> 173.824871442 </span> / </span><span><span>19.3138746047 = </span> 9

So, the area would be 9 times larger.

ALSO, looking at the formula
</span>n*side^2 / (4 * tan(180/n))
we can see that the side length appears just once in the formula and we are to square it in the calculation.  So, if we increase the side length is increased by 3, then the area increases by 3^2 or 9.

A normal distribution has a standard deviation equal to 39. What is the mean of this normal distribution if the probability of s
Naily [24]

Answer:

The mean is \mu = 131

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:

\sigma = 39

What is the mean of this normal distribution if the probability of scoring above x = 209 is 0.0228?

This means that when X = 209, Z has a pvalue of 1-0.0228 = 0.9772. So when X = 209, Z = 2.

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

2 = \frac{209 - \mu}{39}

209 - \mu = 2*39

\mu = 209 - 78

\mu = 131

The mean is \mu = 131

For a certain experiment, the available experimental units are 12 people—six females (f) and six males (m). Use (1f, 2f, 3f, 4f,
Kryger [21]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer would be the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The units are supposed to be blocked by gender. However, the first two units in the final option are blocked with two females in one group, and two males in the next. This is inconsistent with the blocking method used for the rest of the units.
