Assume E represents the cost of an egg and T represents the cost of one piece of toast.

We can construct two equations :
2E + T = $3.00 - - - - - (a)
E + T = $1.80 - - - - - (b)

Subtract equation b from a:
E = $1.20 (The price of one egg)

To find out the price of one piece of toast, replace the price of one egg in equation b:
T = $1.80 - $1.20 = $0.60 (The price of one piece of toast)

Hope that helps you

Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 81.2 and a standard deviation of 3.6. What is the probability of a rand

Misha Larkins [42]

<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of a randomly selected student scoring in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 81.2

And a standard deviation of 3.6.

We have to find What is the probability of a randomly selected student scoring between 77.6 and 88.4?

For that we are going to subtract probability of getting more than 88.4 from probability of getting more than 77.6

Now probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 - area of z – score of 88.4

$\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\mathrm{score}=\frac{88.4-\mathrm{mean}}{\text {standard deviation}}=\frac{88.4-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{7.2}{3.6}=2$

So, probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 – area of z- score(2)

= 1 – 0.9772 [using z table values]

= 0.0228.

Now probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 - area of z – score of 77.6

$\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\text { score }=\frac{77.6-\text { mean }}{\text { standard deviation }}=\frac{77.6-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{-3.6}{3.6}=-1$

So, probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 – area of z- score(-1)

= 1 – 0.1587 [Using z table values]

= 0.8413

Now, probability of getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 = 0.8413 – 0.0228 = 0.8185

Hence, the probability of a randomly selected student getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.

Coach Evans recorded the height, in inches of each player on his team. The results are shown.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Team heights (inches):

61, 57, 63, 62, 60, 64, 60, 62, 63

To find: IQRs (interquartile ranges) of the heights for the team

Solution:

A quartile divides the number of terms in the data into four more or less equal parts that is quarters.

For a set of data, a number for which 25% of the data is less than that number is known as the first quartile $(Q_1)$

For a set of data, a number for which 75% of the data is less than that number is known as the third quartile $(Q_3)$

Terms in arranged in ascending order:

$57,60,60,61,62,62,63,63,64$

Number of terms = 9

As number of terms is odd, exclude the middle term that is 62.

$Q_1$ is median of terms $57,60,60,61$

Number of terms (n) = 4

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} }{2} =\frac{2^{nd}+3^{rd}}{2} =\frac{60+60}{2}=\frac{120}{2}=60$

So, $Q_1=60$

So, 25% of the heights of a team is less than 60 inches

$Q_3$ is the median of terms $62,63,63,64$

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} }{2} =\frac{2^{nd}+3^{rd}}{2} =\frac{63+63}{2}=\frac{126}{2}=63$

So, $Q_3=63$

So, 75% of the heights of a team is less than 63 inches

Interquartile range = $Q_3-Q_1=63-60=3$

The interquartile range is a measure of variability on dividing a data set into quartiles.

The interquartile range is the range of the middle 50% of the terms in the data.

So, 3 is the range of the middle 50% of the heights of the students.

7 times as much as sum of 1/3 and 4/5

Salsk061 [2.6K]

So the formula is
7*(1/3+1/5) = x

First find the common denominator of the fractions. In this case the common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15 so we must convert them to 15ths. To do that we divide 15 by the denominator and take that answer and multiply the numerator by it.

So for 1/3 we take 15/3(denominator) = 5 and multiply the numerator (1) by it

5 * 1 = 5 so 1/3 converts to 5/15

Do the same for 1/5 we take 15/5 = 3 and multiply the numerator (4) by it

3*4 = 12 so 4/5 converts to 12/15

Now we add 5/15 and 12/15 = 17/15 so we have our formula now to

7*17/15

We make seven a fraction 7/1 and multiply across 7*17 = 119 and 15 * 1 = 15

We have 119/15 which when we divide and get 7 14/15 as your answer

The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by x = 3.24 t - 4.20 t2 + 1.07 t3, where x is in meters and t in secon

Pavel [41]

Answer and explanation:

Given : The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by $x=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$ where x is in meters and t in seconds.

To find : The position of the object at the following values of t :

a) At t= 1 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(1)=3.24(1)-4.20(1)^2+1.07(1)^3$

$x(1)=3.24-4.20+1.07$

$x(1)=0.11$

b) At t= 2 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(2)=3.24(2)-4.20(2)^2+1.07(2)^3$

$x(2)=6.48-16.8+8.56$

$x(2)=-1.76$

c) At t= 3 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(3)=3.24(3)-4.20(3)^2+1.07(3)^3$

$x(3)=9.72-37.8+28.89$

$x(3)=0.81$

d) At t= 4 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(4)=3.24(4)-4.20(4)^2+1.07(4)^3$

$x(4)=12.96-67.2+68.48$

$x(4)=14.24$

(e) What is the object's displacement between t = 0 and t = 4 s?

At t=0, x(0)=0

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The displacement is given by,

$\triangle x=x(4)-x(0)$

$\triangle x=14.24-0$

$\triangle x=14.24$

(f) What is its average velocity from t = 2 s to t = 4 s?

At t=2, x(2)=-1.76

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The average velocity is given by,

$\triangle x=x(4)-x(2)$

$\triangle x=14.24-(-1.76)$

$\triangle x=14.24+1.76$

$\triangle x=16$
