Multiply the weight by the amount they took out:

4 2/5 x 5/8

Rewrite as 22/5 x 5/8

(22 x 5) / (5 x 8)

Simplify:

110/40

Rewrite as a proper fraction:

2 3/4 ounces.

A square pyramid has a base length of 4 inches. The height of each triangular face is 12 inches. What is the surface area of the
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The surface area of the given pyramid is 112 inches^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Base length of the pyramid = 4 inches

Area of the base = length^{2}

                            = 4^{2}

                            = 16

Area of its base = 16 inches^{2}

Area of one of its triangular surface = \frac{1}{2} x base x height

                                 = \frac{1}{2} x 4 x 12

                                 = 2 x 12

                                 = 24 inches^{2}

Area of all its four triangular surfaces = 4 x 24

                                                       = 96 inches^{2}

surface area of the pyramid = sum of areas of all its surfaces

                                               = 16 + 96

                                       = 112 inches^{2}

The surface area of the given pyramid is 112 inches^{2}.

The director of a state agency believes that the average starting salary for clerical employees in the state is less than $30,00
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The test statistics is   z = -1  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n  =  100

  The null hypothesis  is  H_o : \mu = \$30000

   The alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu  < \$ 30000

   The sample mean is  \= x  = \$29,750

    The standard deviation is  \sigma  = \$2,500

    The level of significance is  \alpha =0.05

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

        z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }

=>      z = \frac{29750 - 30000 }{ \frac{ 2500}{ \sqrt{100} } }

=>      z = -1

At a manufacturing plant where switches are made, it is a known fact that 2% of all switches are defective. If two switches are
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The probability that exactly one switch is good is

P(x) =0.0392

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a switch is defective is:

P(D) = \frac{2}{100} =0.02

The probability that a switch is not defective is

P(D') = 1-P(D)=0.98

Therefore, if two switches are selected, the probability that exactly 1 is good is:

P(1=1)=P (D) P (D ') + P (D') P (D)

P(x)=(0.02)(0.98) + (0.98)(0.02)

P(x) =0.0392

Can someone please explain how to solve 3x+3=x-1<br> will give brainiest :)
ollegr [7]
3x+3 = x-1
2x+3 = -1 (subtracted x from both sides)
2x = -4 (subtracted 3 from both sides)
x = -2 (divided 2 from both sides).
