The FDA recommends that women who are pregnant avoid eating more than three 6.00 oz servings of bluefish per month because of th

e relatively high mercury levels in that type of fish. If bluefish contains 0.309 ppm of mercury (that is, 0.309 oz of mercury per 1×106 oz of fish), how many ounces of mercury would a pregnant woman consume in a month if she ate the maximum recommended amount of bluefish?

Answer:

5,562 x 10^{-6}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Firts, we need to find the maximum recommended amount of bluefish per month. Since the FDA recommends <em>3 servings of 6.00 oz each</em>, the maximum amount would be:

the maximum amount of bluefish per month = 3 * 6.00 oz = 18.00 oz

  • Since bluefish contains <em>0.309 ppm of mercury per 1x10^{6} oz of fis</em>h, then:

0.309 oz mercury --------> 1x10^{6} oz of fish

How many  (y)      --------> 18.00 oz of fish

y = \frac{18.00 oz of fish * 0.309 oz of mercury}{1 x 10^{6} oz of fish }  = 0.000005562 = 5.562 x 10^{-6} oz mercury

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

X = \text{cost of wedding}\sim \text{Normal}\ (\mu = 28732, \sigma= 1500)\\\\

For point a:

Probability\ = 0.00000359\\\\ \text{(Using Excel function:} =NORMDIST(22000,28732,1500,1)).

For point b:

Probability \ = 0.014678\\\\\text{(Using Excel function:} =1-NORMDIST(32000,28732,1500,1))\\\\

For point c:

Probability\ = 0.794614436 \\\\

\text{(Using Excel function:} \\=NORMDIST (30000,28732,1500,1)-NORMDIST(25000,28732,1500,1))\\\\

For point d:

Q_1 = 27720.26537 \\\\\text{(Using Excel function:} =NORMINV(0.25,28732,1500)) \\\\Q_3 = 29743.73463 \\\\\text{(Using Excel function:} =NORMINV(0.75,28732,1500)).

For point e:

IQR = Q_3 - Q_1 = 29743.73463 - 27720.26537 = 2023.469251.

For point f:

NEED HELP ASAP
balu736 [363]

Answer:

∠4 and ∠3

∠4 and ∠5

∠3 and ∠6

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of angles is said to be supplementary when the 2 angles add up to give 180°.

Two right angles add up to give 180°. Also, if we have two angles on a straight line, their sum = 180°, according to the linear pair property.

Thus, since m< 3 is given as 90°, m<4 = 90°.

m<4 + m<3 = 180°.

Therefore, <4 and <3 are supplementary.

<4 and <5, <3 and <6 are both linear pairs, therefore they are also supplementary.

The function f(x) is an increasing function about which little else is known about other than f(2)=7 and f'(2)=5. Find (f^-1)'(7
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Since f(x) is (strictly) increasing, we know that it is one-to-one and has an inverse f^(-1)(x). Then we can apply the inverse function theorem. Suppose f(a) = b and a = f^(-1)(b). By definition of inverse function, we have

f^(-1)(f(x)) = x

Differentiating with the chain rule gives

(f^(-1))'(f(x)) f'(x) = 1

so that

(f^(-1))'(f(x)) = 1/f'(x)

Let x = a; then

(f^(-1))'(f(a)) = 1/f'(a)

(f^(-1))'(b) = 1/f'(a)

In particular, we take a = 2 and b = 7; then

(f^(-1))'(7) = 1/f'(2) = 1/5

Robert needs to cut four shelves from a board that is 2.5 meters long. The second shelf is 18 cm longer than twice the length of
g100num [7]
STEP 1:
convert meters to centimeters
100 cm= 1 meter

= 100 cm/m * 2.5 m
= 250 cm


STEP 2:
x= length of first shelf
2x+18= length of second shelf
x-12= length of third shelf
x+4= length of fourth shelf

since the whole board has to be used, add lengths of all shelves and set it equal to the whole length of the board (250 cm).

x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250 cm
combine like terms
5x + 10= 250
subtract both sides by 10
5x= 240
divide both sides by 5
x= 48


STEP 3:
find length of second shelf
= 2x + 18
= 2(48) + 18
= 114 cm


CHECK:
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250
48 + (2(48)+18) + (48-12) + (48+4)= 250
48 + (96+18) + 36 + 52= 250
48 + 114 + 36 + 52= 250
250= 250


ANSWER: Shelf two is 114 cm.

Hope this helps! :)

If √7-y=6, then y= <br> -29<br> -5<br> 1<br> 29<br> I don't know
sleet_krkn [62]

Hello!

√7 - y = 6 <=>

<=> -y = 6 - √7 <=>

<=> y = -6 + √7 => √7 - (-6 + √7) = 6

Good luck! :)
