(5/8) x (2/3) = 5/12

(5/12) / 5 people= 1/12 pound each.

we know that

Marianne has \frac{5}{8} pound of peas

If she cooks \frac{2}{3} pound of peas of the total

then

Marianne cooks \frac{5}{8} *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{10}{24} =\frac{5}{12} \ pounds

to calculate the quantity of peas served to each person

Divide \frac{5}{12} \ pounds by 5

\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{5}  =\frac{5}{12*5} =\frac{1}{12} \ pounds

therefore

the answer is

\frac{1}{12} \ pounds

A survey of 120 twelfth-graders finds that 36% were carrying more than $15 on the day of the survey. Use the margin of error to
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

An interval that will likely include the proportion of students in the population of twelfth-graders who carry more than $15 is 960

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, Condition 1: n(.05)≤N

• The sample size (10) is less than 5% of the population (millions of musicians), so

the condition is met.

• Condition 2: np(1-p)≥10

• =

2

10

= .2

• 1 − = 10 .2 1 − .2 = 1.6 . This is less than 10 so this condition is not

met.

It would not be practical to construct the confidence interval.

1. The radioisotope Iodine-123 is used in thyroid therapy. The half-life of this isotope is 13.27 hours.
Mandarinka [93]
1. Answer: D. <span>A = 100 (1/2)^t/13.27

</span>Exponent equation formula would be an= a0( 1+r)^t
In this question, the radio isotopes will become half of its weight after the half-life. So, the ratio would be -0.5 (r= -0.5)
The halftime is 13.27 hours, so the time will be divided by that number. The result would look like this:
an= a0( 1+r)^t
an= a0( 1-0.5)^t/13.27
an= a0( 1/2)^t/13.27

2. Answer: x= 74°

<span>The ladder and the building will make a right triangle with the ladder as the hypotenuse. 
The foot of the ladder is 2 feet from the building, so the adjacent side is 2ft.
It reaches a point 7 feet high on the building, so the opposite side is 7ft</span>
You can find the angle by using the tan equation

tan x= opposite / adjacent
tan x= 7/2= 3.5
x= 74°
