A grocer wants to make a 10-pound mixture of cash tans peanuts that he can sell for $3.29 per pound. If cashews cost $5.60 per p

Label each nut with a variable, c = cashews, p = peanuts.....
for a 10-pound mix, you will need c + p = 10
the price for 10-pounds would become 3.29 x 10 = 32.90 

You will need an unknown amount of cashews at 5.60/lb and an unknown amount of peanuts at 2.30/lbs to get your full 10 pounds valued at 32.90
5.60c + 2.30p = 32.90 

Now you 2 have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns
c + p = 105.6c + 2.3p = 32.9utilize substitution to solve:p = 10-c
5.6 c + 2.3 (10-c) = 32.9
solve for c then substitute back into c + p = 10 to solve for P

Hope this helps!

Many, many snails have a one-mile race, and the time it takes for them to finish is approximately normally distributed with mean
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a) The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b) The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c) The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d) 0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e) To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f) The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.

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 = 50, \sigma = 6

a. The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

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

Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b. The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

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

Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue 0.9525

The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c. The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 67 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

X = 67

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

Z = \frac{67 - 50}{6}

Z = 2.83

Z = 2.83 has a pvalue 0.9977

X = 60

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

Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue 0.9525

0.9977 - 0.9525 = 0.0452

The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d. The probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish (to four decimal places)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 76.

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

Z = \frac{76 - 50}{6}

Z = 4.33

Z = 4.33 has a pvalue of 1

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e. To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most hours.

At most the 10th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So it is X when Z = -1.28.

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

-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}

X - 50 = -1.28*6

X = 42.32

To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f. The most typical 80% of snails take between and hours to finish.

From the 50 - 80/2 = 10th percentile to the 50 + 80/2 = 90th percentile.

10th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28.

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

-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}

X - 50 = -1.28*6

X = 42.32

90th percentile.

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So X when Z = 1.28

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

1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}

X - 50 = 1.28*6

X = 57.68

The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

104.73cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA OF SEMI CIRCLE

9cm-4cm = 5cm

5cm is the radius of the semi-circle

(πr²)/2 =

25π/2 = 12.5π

AREA OF SQUARE

16cm*9cm = 144cm²

AREA OF THE FIGURE SHOWN

144cm² - 12.5cmπ²

144cm² - 39.27cm² = 104.73cm²
