Answer: There are 3.5 ounces of chocolate drips that Carlita need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pounds of turkey = $2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

Since the cherries are $\dfrac{1}{4}$ equal to the turkey.

So, it becomes,

Number of pounds of cherries is given by

$\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{5}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{8}\\\\=0.625$

Since the chocolate drips are 0.35 equal to the cherries.

So, the number of pounds of chocolate drips is given by

$0.625\times 0.35\\\\=0.21875\ lb$

Since 1 pound = 16 ounces.

So, Number of ounces of chocolate drips would be

$0.21875\times 16\\\\=3.5\ ounces$

Hence, there are 3.5 ounces of chocolate drips that Carlita need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit is the difference between revenue (17.12c +5.40(.5c)) and cost(14.56c+1.20(0.5c)). That difference is expressed by the function shown above.

What expression represents the quotient?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{5x^2+8x+7}{4x}$

Divide each term on the numerator by 4x

= $\frac{5x^2}{4x}$ + $\frac{8x}{4x}$ + $\frac{7}{4x}$

= $\frac{5x}{4}$ + 2 + $\frac{7}{4x}$

The weight of an adult swan is normally distributed with a mean of 26 pounds and a standard deviation of 7.2 pounds. A farmer ra

Snezhnost [94]

Let $X$ denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by $X_1,\ldots,X_{36}$ , each independently and identically distributed with distribution $X_i\sim\mathcal N(26,7.2)$ .

You want to find

$\mathbb P(X_1+\cdots+X_{36}>1000)=\mathbb P\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}X_i>1000\right)$

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(36\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}\frac{X_i}{36}>1000\right)=\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)$

Recall that if $X\sim\mathcal N(\mu,\sigma)$ , then the sampling distribution $\overline X=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{X_i}n\sim\mathcal N\left(\mu,\dfrac\sigma{\sqrt n}\right)$ with $n$ being the size of the sample.

Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

$Z=\dfrac{\overline X-\mu_{\overline X}}{\sigma_{\overline X}}=\sqrt n\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\sigma}$

so that in this case,

$Z=6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}$

and the probability is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)=\mathbb P\left(6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}>6\dfrac{\frac{1000}{36}-26}{7.2}\right)$
$=\mathbb P(Z>1.481)\approx0.0693$
