Answer:

B. 3.19b + 4.59m = 137.24

3.49b + 4.39m = $140.04

Step-by-step explanation:

A B

Bread $3.19 $3.49

Milk $4.59 $4.39

Sue paid $137.24 in supermarket A

Sue paid $140.04 in supermarket B

Let

Price of bread A=$3.19

Price of bread B=$3.49

Price of milk A=$4.59

Price of milk B=$4.39

Quantity of Bread=b

Quantity of Milk=m

Pb=price of bread

Pm=price of milk

Qb=Quantity of bread

Qm=Quantity of milk

For each supermarket

Supermarket A Equation

PbQb + PmQm =$137.24

3.19b+ 4.59m = 137.24

Supermarket B Equation

PbQb + PmQm=$140.04

3.49b + 4.39m = $140.04

Combining both equations

3.19b + 4.59m = 137.24

3.49b + 4.39m = $140.04

what is the probability of seeing a sample mean for 21 observations less or equal to the sample mean that we observed

kramer

Answer:

$P(x \le 21) = 0.69146$

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing parameters are:

$n = 64$ --- population

$\mu = 20$ --- population mean

$\sigma = 16$ -- population standard deviation

Required

$P(x \le 21)$

First, calculate the sample standard deviation

$\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{16}{\sqrt {64}}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{16}{8}$

$\sigma_x = 2$

Next, calculate the sample mean $\bar_x$

$\bar x = \mu$

So:

$\bar x = 20$

So, we have:

$\sigma_x = 2$

$\bar x = 20$

$x = 21$

Calculate the z score

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

$x = \frac{21 - 20}{2}$

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$x = 0.50$

So, we have:

$P(x \le 21) = P(z \le 0.50)$

From the z table

$P(z \le 0.50) = 0.69146$

So:

$P(x \le 21) = 0.69146$

An office and apartment building is made up of modules. Each module is a rectangular prism. The building has 150 modules, and is

Elis [28]

Answer:

Part 1) 10 modules per floor

Part 2) Two different rectangular prism

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x ----> the number of modules

y ---> the number of stories

we have

$x=150\ modules\\y=15\ stories$

Divide the number of modules by the number of stories

so

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{150}{15}=10\ \frac{modules}{floor}$

Part 2) How many different rectangular prisms could be made from that number?

The number is 10

Look at the factors of 10

They are 1,2 ,4,5 and 10

Pick any two of these factors and determine if there is a third value from this list so that the product of the three factors is 10

There are 2 combinations that will work :

1 0×1×1

2 ×5×1

There are 252 pieces of candy in a 14-ounce jar. How many pieces of candy are there per ounce in the jar?

djyliett [7]

"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.

(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce

Pediatricians work an average of 48 h per week. The standard deviation is 12 hours. What percentage of pediatricians work more t

cricket20 [7]

Answer: 2.28 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : $\mu=\ 48$

Standard deviation : $\sigma= 12$

The formula to calculate the z-score :-

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x = 72

$z=\dfrac{72-48}{12}=2$

The p-value = $P(2$

$1-0.9772498=0.0227502\approx0.0228$

In percent, $0.0228\times100=2.28\%$

Hence, the percentage of pediatricians work more than 72 h per week = 2.28 %
