1. Pilar and her sister Marisol live near the beach. Pilar has 80 seashells in her collection when Marisol started collecting se

ashells. Marisol started with zero seashells in her collection.
• Pilar adds 10 seashells to her collection each week for x weeks.
• Marisol adds 20 seashells to her collection each week for x weeks.
(a) Write an inequality to represent the situation when the number of seashells in Marisol's collection is greater than the number of seashells in Pilar's collection.
(b) Solve the inequality in part (a) for the x. Show your work and explain your answer.

Answer:

a. 20x > 10x + 80

b.  •20x > 10x + 80

• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x

• Simplify: 10x > 80

• Divide both sides by 10:   10x/10 > 80/10

• Simplify: x > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 80 = number of seashells Pilar has.

20x = number of seashells Marisol has.  

answer for a:  20x > 10x + 80

answer for b: 20x > 10x + 80

• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x

• Simplify: 10x > 80

• Divide both sides by 10:   10x/10 > 80/10

• Simplify: x > 8

15. Find the length of segment DE of the triangle ABC.
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Option C. 26\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles ADE and ABC are similar by AA similarity postulate

AB=2AD

Apply proportion

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{AD}{2AD}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\12x+4=16x-12\\ \\16x-12x=4+12\\ \\4x=16\\ \\x=4\ units

Find the length of segment DE

DE=8x-6=8(4)-6=26\ units

A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measurin
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measuring the weights of many of these cockroaches, a lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.

To find : What is the approximate standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches?

Solution :

We have given,

Mean \mu=50

The sample mean x=55

A lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.

i.e. P(X>55)=14%=0.14

The total probability needs to sum up to 1,

P(X\leq 55)=1-P(X>55)

P(X\leq 55)=1-0.14

P(X\leq 55)=0.86

The z-score value of 0.86 using z-score table is z=1.08.

Applying z-score formula,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where, \sigma is standard deviation

Substitute the values,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

1.08=\frac{55-50}{\sigma}

1.08=\frac{5}{\sigma}

\sigma=\frac{5}{1.08}

\sigma=4.62

The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.
