One hiking club charges $16 to become a member and $3 to participate on each hike. Another club charges no membership fee, but c

harges $5 to participate on each hike. How many hikes must you go on to make the first club more economical?

Answer:

x < 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x= # of hikes

3x +16 =5x

-3x. -3x

16=2x

16/2= 8

2x/2= x

8=x

x=8

check:

3(8) +16 =5(8)

24 +16 =40

40=40 ✓

there for at 8 hikes with either deal it would be the same but if you went up a number of hikes for the first option it would only be $43.00 spent in total. but with the second option it would be $45.00.

Tilda makes a scale model of the Titanic. . The actual Titanic was 175 feet tall, Tilda's model is 35 inches tall. What is the s

Greeley [361]

Answer: 1:60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The actual titanic is 175 ft tall

Tilda's model is 35 inches tall

first, convert inches into ft

$35\ in.\equiv \dfrac{35}{12}\ ft$

scale used is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{35}{12}}{175}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{35}{12\times 175}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{12\times 5}=\dfrac{1}{60}$

Thus, the scale is 1:60

How do I solve 2m + n = 2 and 3m - 2n = 3 using substitution?

Leona [35]

$\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}$

Solve 2m + n = 2 and 3m - 2n = 3 using substitution.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

We can use the substitution method to solve linear equations of this form. Let's solve for m & n.

$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 2 m + n = 2 } \\ { 3 m - 2 n = 3 } \end{array} \right.$

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

$2m+n=2, \: 3m-2n=3$

Choose one of the equations and solve it for m by isolating m on the left-hand side of the equal sign.

$2m+n=2$

Subtract n from both sides of the equation.

$2m=-n+2$

Divide both sides by 2.

$m=\frac{1}{2}\left(-n+2\right) \\$

Multiply 1/2 times -n+2.

$m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1 \\$

Substitute $-\frac{n}{2}+1\\$ for m in the other equation, 3m-2n=3.

$3\left(-\frac{1}{2}n+1\right)-2n=3 \\$

Multiply 3 times $-\frac{n}{2}+1\\$ .

$-\frac{3}{2}n+3-2n=3 \\$

Add $-\frac{3n}{2}\\$ to -2n.

$-\frac{7}{2}n+3=3 \\$

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$-\frac{7}{2}n=0 \\$

Divide both sides of the equation by $-\frac{7}{2}\\$ , which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$\large \underline{\underline{ \bf \: n=0 }}$

Substitute 0 for n in $m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1\\$ . Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for m directly.

$\large \underline{ \underline{\bf \: m=1 }}$

The system is now solved.

$\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: m=1, \: n=0 }}$

Suppose that the walking step lengths of adult males are normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation o

Mumz [18]

Answer:

0% probability that the mean of the sample taken is less than 2.2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation of 0.2 feet.

This means that $\mu = 2.5, \sigma = 0.2$

Sample of 41

This means that $n = 41, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{41}}$

Find the probability that the mean of the sample taken is less than 2.2 feet.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 2.2 So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{2.2 - 2.5}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{41}}}$

$Z = -9.6$

$Z = -9.6$ has a p-value of 0.

0% probability that the mean of the sample taken is less than 2.2 feet.
