Answer: $53.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: \mu=0.75 pounds

\sigma= 0.2 pounds

n= 50

Two tailed critical z-value for 90% confidence level = 1.645

Let x be the total amount of food that a cafeteria should have on hand to be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food .

z-score = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}

Then, \dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}=1.645

x-0.75=1.645\times0.2\\\\\Riightarrow\ x-0.75=0.329\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 0.329+0.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 1.079

Foe 50 students, total amount of food = 1.079 x 50 = $53.95

hence, the cafeteria should have food of amount $53.95 so that it is be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food.

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -5/2 x + 1 and passing through (10, 3) will be y = 2/5 x + 1.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

The equation of the perpendicular line will be given as

y = mx + c

The given equation is y = -5/2 x + 1.

The slope of the line is -5/2.

Then the product of the slope of the perpendicular lines is a negative one.

-5/2 × m = - 1

m = 2/5

Then the equation will be

y = 2/5 x + c

Then the equation is passing through (10, 3). Then we have

3 = 2/5 × 10 + c

3 = 2 + c

c = 1

Then the equation is y = 2/5 x + 1.

More about the linear system link is given below.

What is the value of x in the figure Pls help​
Murljashka [212]

Answer: x=18

im assuming that this is a right angle

so if it is then that means the total of the angle should be 90 degrees. so 2x+3x should be equal to 90. Just combine like terms to get that 5x=90 and then isolate the variable (divide by 5 on both sides) so x ends up equaling 18.

so x=18

Given ∆QRS≅∆TUV, QS=4v+3, and TV=7v-9, find the length of QS and TV.?
Anon25 [30]
If we are supposed to assume that QS=TV

4v+3=7v-9
minus 4v both sides
3=3v-9
add 9
12=3v
divide 3
4=v
v=4

sub back

4v+3=QS=TV
4(4)+3=QS=TV
16+3=QS
19=QS=TV

then answer is C

Need answer to this math problem
Elis [28]

The slope of this line is the difference of the y values divided by the difference of the x values. Solving this give 4/-3. Then, you already know the b in y = mx+b, which is 2, because you already have the value (0, 2). So, the answer is y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 2
