Answer:

The number of donuts bought is 4 while the number of cookies bought is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Joshua bought donuts and cookies. The cost of each donuts is $1.75 and the cost of each cookies is $1. He bought a total number 12 donuts and cookies altogether. But the number of donuts bought and the number of cookies bought is not given.

Let the number of donuts bought = a

Let the number of cookies bought = b

The total cost of the donuts and cookies bought = $15

The total number of donuts and cookies bought = 12

Therefore,

1.75a + 1b = 15....................................(i)

a + b = 12.............................................(ii)

b = 12 - a

Inserting the value of b in equation (i)

1.75a + 12 - a = 15

1.75a - a = 15 - 12

0.75a = 3

a = 3/0.75

a = 4

Inserting a in equation(ii)

4 + b = 12

b = 12 - 4

b = 8

The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 104 inches, and a standard
dsp73

Answer:

91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 104, \sigma = 14, n = 49, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49}} = 2

What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 106.8. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{106.8 - 104}{2}

Z = 1.4

Z = 1.4 has a pvalue of 0.9192

0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

Answer:

f(x) = -2x + 7, when x > 1

f(x) = 4x + 1 when x ≤ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The right side graph passe through points (1,5) and (2,3).  

Hence, the equation of the line  

\frac{y - 5}{5 - 3} = \frac{x - 1}{1 - 2}

⇒ (y - 5) = 2(1 - x)

⇒ y - 5 = 2 - 2x

⇒ y = -2x +7.......... (1)

Now, the left side graph passes through points (1,5) and (0,1)

Therefore, the equation of the graph will be  

\frac{y - 5}{5 - 1} = \frac{x - 1}{1 - 0}

⇒ y - 5 = 4(x - 1)

⇒ y = 4x + 1 ........ (2)

Hence, the equation (1) gives the function in the right side of the given graph which does not include the point (1,5) and extends to the right from this point.

Therefore, f(x) = -2x + 7, when x > 1 (Answer)

Again, equation (2) gives the function in the left side of the given graph which includes the point (1,5) and extends to the left from this point.

Therefore, f(x) = 4x + 1 when x ≤ 1 (Answer)
