Simplify 3(x-1)+2(x+4)

KengaRu [80]

A) Because the 80 is by itself that would be the start up fee.

B) We are told x is the number of months. Since the X is being multiplied by 30, we know that would be the total monthly cost. This is being added to the 80, which does not have an exponent, so we know this is a single cost, which would be the start up fee.

C) Copying the same format as the given equation above, change the numbers:

f(x) = 20 + 35x

D) I used the same format as the first equation, which meant replacing the start up cost from the original one ( 80) with the start up of the new one (20). Then I changed the monthly cost from the original one (30) with the monthly cost of the new one (35).

E) Replace x in each equation with 8 and calculate the cost of each:

80 + 30(8) = 80 + 240 = $320

20 + 35(8) = 20 + 280 = $300

The second club (club B) is the cheaper option for her.

Suppose that the weights of passengers on a flight to Greenland on Frigid Aire Lines are normal with mean 175 pounds and standar

Answer:

The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 175, \sigma = 22$
