Answer:

78 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Yolanda makes a pounds of Type A coffee and b pounds of Type B coffee. Since the total number of pounds is 130, we can write the equation:

a + b = 130

We know the cost of Type A coffee is $5.20/lb and the cost of Type B coffee is $4.05/lb, so since the total cost is $586.30, we can write:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

We can now solve the system of equations:

a + b = 130

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

Manipulate the first equation by subtracting b from both sides:

a + b = 130

a = 130 - b

Substitute 130 - b for a in the second equation:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

5.20 * (130 - b) + 4.05b = 586.30

676 - 5.20b + 4.05b = 586.30

Move the terms with b to one side:

1.15b = 89.70

b = 78

Thus, Yolanda used 78 pounds of Type B coffee.

Scores on a certain intelligence test for children between ages 13 and 15 years are approximately normally distributed with μ=10
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: 0.8238

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Scores on a certain intelligence test for children between ages 13 and 15 years are approximately normally distributed with \mu=106 and \sigma=15.

Let x denotes the scores on a certain intelligence test for children between ages 13 and 15 years.

Then, the proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 92 will be :-

P(x>92)=1-P(x\leq92)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{92-106}{15})\\\\=1-P(z\leq })\\\\=1-P(z\leq-0.93)=1-(1-P(z\leq0.93))\ \ [\because\ P(Z\leq -z)=1-P(Z\leq z)]\\\\=P(z\leq0.93)=0.8238\ \ [\text{By using z-value table.}]

Hence, the proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 92 = 0.8238

Full steps and all reasons, thanks!​

You can focus on the two sub-triangles ABC and ACD

We know that they are both right triangles, because we're given that AC and BD are perpendicular.

The sides AB and AD are the hypothenuses of these triangles, so we know their length through the pythagorean theorem:

AD^2 = AC^2+CD^2

AB^2 = AC^2+BC^2

But since we're given BC=CD, the expressions for AD and AB are actually the same expression. This proves that AD=AB, and thus that the triangle is isosceles.
