All you have to do is find the relationships between the top and bottom and then find how they all r in common
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Find the mean,median,range of 6 6,8,5,4,6,4,3,8,4
SVEN [57.7K]
The numbers in order are
3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 8
The median is the number in the middle, which is 5.
The range is the largest number minus the smallest number, 8 - 3 = 5
The mean is the sum of all the numbers divided by how many number are the in the list, 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 8 = 46, 46/9 = 5.11
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
26 is 65% of 40
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The numbers of the possible public swimming pools are 5
From past results, we have 0.007 probability of finding bacteria in a public swimming area.
In the public swimming pool, the probability of not finding bacteria = 1 - 0.007
= 0.993
Thus;
Probability of combined = Probability that at least one public
sample with bacteria swimming area have bacteria
Probability of combined sample with bacteria = 1 - P(none out of 5 has
bacteria)
Probability of combined sample with bacteria = 1 - (0.993)⁵
= 1 - 0.9655
= 0.0345
Thus, the probability that the combined sample from five public swimming areas will show the presence of bacteria is 0.0345
From above, the probability that the combined sample shows the presence of bacteria is 0.0345 which is lesser than 0.05.
Thus, we can conclude that; Yes, the probability is low enough that there is a need for further testing.
