Jack read 1/6 of a book on Monday and another 1/3 of it on Tuesday. He took another 4 days to finish reading the book. He read t

he same number of pages on each of the 4 days.
What fraction of the book did he read on each of the 4 days?

If he read 40 pages on each of these 4 days, find the number of pages in the book.

On each of the four days, jack read 1/8 of the book. 1/8 is 12.5 percent. if 12.5% is 40%, the a proportion can be set up to see the total number of pages which is 320

1/3= 2/6...+1/6= 3/6 or 1/2 of the book. Now there is 1/2 left to read 40 pgs each day...160 pgs...160 is half the book. So 160*2= 320 total pages.

Use technology or a z-score table to answer the question.

Alik [6]

Answer:

The second choice: Approximately $65.2\%$ of the pretzel bags here will contain between 225 and 245 pretzels.

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation uses a z-score table where each $z$ entry has two decimal places.

Let $\mu$ represent the mean of a normal distribution of variable $X$ . Let $\sigma$ be the standard deviation of the distribution. The z-score for the observation $x$ would be:

$\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ .

In this question,

$\mu = 240$ .
$\sigma = 9.3$ .

Calculate the z-score for $x_1 = 225$ and $x_2 = 245$ . Keep in mind that each entry in the z-score table here has two decimal places. Hence, round the results below so that each contains at least two decimal places.

$\begin{aligned} z_1 &= \frac{x_1 - \mu}{\sigma} \\ &= \frac{225 - 240}{9.3} \approx -1.61\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} z_2 &= \frac{x_2 - \mu}{\sigma} \\ &= \frac{245 - 240}{9.3} \approx 0.54\end{aligned}$ .

The question is asking for the probability $P(225 \le X \le 245)$ (where $X$ is between two values.) In this case, that's the same as $P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54)$ .

Keep in mind that the probabilities on many z-table correspond to probability of $P(Z \le z)$ (where $Z$ is no greater than one value.) Therefore, apply the identity $P(z_1 \le Z \le z_2) = P(Z \le z_2) - P(Z \le z_1)$ to rewrite $P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54)$ as the difference between two probabilities:

$P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54) = P(Z \le 0.54) - P(Z \le -1.61)$ .

Look up the z-table for $P(Z \le 0.54)$ and $P(Z \le -1.61)$ :

$P(Z \le 0.54)\approx 0.70540$ .
$P(Z \le -1.61) \approx 0.05370$ .

$\begin{aligned}& P(225 \le X \le 245) \\ &= P\left(\frac{225 - 240}{9.3} \le Z \le \frac{245 - 240}{9.3}\right)\\&\approx P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54) \\ &= P(Z \le 0.54) - P(Z \le -1.61)\\ &\approx 0.70540 - 0.05370 \\& \approx 0.65.2 \\ &= 65.2\% \end{aligned}$ .

Rebah and her twin brother are planning a birthday party at Pizza Pete's. There is a S64.75 charge to reserve a party room plus

Digiron [165]

Answer:

22 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: I first subtracted $64.75 from $175.00 so that I knew how much would be leftover after the charge of the room, because you can't count that cost. When I did this, I got $110.25. So then I knew how much was paid other then for the room.

Step 2: I then divided $110.25 by $4.95, so I would get the amount of people who went to the party, since each person costs $4.95. When I divided, I got 22.

So that would be my answer. I hope that helps. :)
