Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are talking about the unknown cost of a shirt AND a sweater, we are dealing with 2 unknowns.  However, we can only have one unknown in a single equation or we cannot solve it.  The cost of the sweater is based on the cost of the shirt, so the shirt will be our "main" unknown.

Cost of the shirt:  x

Since the sweater is $5 more than (this is addition) twice (that is 2 times) the cost of the shirt, the expression for the sweater is 2x + 5

The cost of both is (equals) 65.

x + 2x + 5 = 65 and

3x + 5 = 65 and

3x = 60 so

x = 20

The shirt cost $20 so the sweater had to cost 65 - 20 = 45

(d) estimate p(x &lt; 1.5), i.e., the proportion of all thickness values less than 1.5. [hint: if you knew the values of μ and σ
Elan Coil [88]
<span>This question's solution is based on two context. First off, the probability of any events or occurrence cannot be greater than 1. If the question demands finding the probability that the proportion of all thickness (X) is less than 1.5 given the available data (mu and rho) then that would practically be impossible. It would only be feasible to ask, "if it were less than 1" My point is, suppose X is 1.3 which is actually less than 1.5, then we have a contradiction because our probability of occurrence or non-occurrence cannot be greater than 1.On the other hand suppose X is 0.2, then it will be pretty easy to input the formula to get valuable results.</span>

By what percent change if the numerator is decreased by 10% and the denominator is decreased by 70%
hjlf

Answer:

It increases x3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the fraction to begin with was 100/100. Ignore the fact that it isn't fully reduced and it is an improper fraction.

10% of 100 is 10, so the numerator is now 90 (decrease=get smaller; 100-10=90).

70% of 100 is 70, so the denominator is now 30 (decrease=get smaller; 100-70=30).

Our fraction is now 90/30 which, when fully reduced, equals 3.00. Since 100/100 equals 1.00, it has increased by 2.00 (3x bigger).
