Answer:

a) 80 ibs

b) 40 ibs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the pound of the high quality bean at $6.50

(120-x) will be the pound of the cheaper bean at $2.50

6.5x + 2.5(120 - x) = 5.17(120)

6.5x + 300 - 2.5x = 620.4

Collect like terms

6.5x - 2.5x = 620.4 - 300

4x = 320.4

x = 320.4/4

x= 80.1

x = 80 ibs(to the nearest pounds)

For the cheaper bean we have 120 -x

= 120 - 80

= 40 ibs

Sarah would blend 80 ibs of quality bean and 40 ibs of cheaper bean

Which of the following situations describes a continuous distribution? A probability distribution showing the number of vaccines
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Continous distributions:

- A probability distribution showing the average number of days mothers spent in the hospital.

- A probability distribution showing the weights of newborns.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability distribution showing the number of vaccines given to babies during their first year of life will have a discrete distribution as only a natural number can represent the number of vaccines (0, 1, 2 vaccines and so on).

A probability distribution showing the average number of days mothers spent in the hospital can be described as continous because we are averaging days and this average can be fractional, so it is not discrete.

A probability distribution showing the weights of newborns is continous, as the weights are a continous variable (physical measurement), not discrete.

A probability distribution showing the amount of births in a hospital in a month is a discrete distribution, as the number of births can only be represented by natural numbers.

You find a certain stock that had returns of 8 percent, −3 percent, 12 percent, and 17 percent for four of the last five years.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 8.27 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Average = (Σx)/N

The average is the sum of variables divided by the number of variables.

x = each variable

N = number of variables = 5

Let the unknown percent be y

6 = (8 - 3 + 12 + 17 + y)/5

y = 30 - 34 = - 4

The standard deviation is the square root of variance. And variance is an average of the squared deviations from the mean.

Mathematically,

Standard deviation = σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

x = each variable

xbar = mean = 6 percent

N = number of variables

σ = √[{(8 - 6)² + (-3 - 6)² + (12 - 6)² + (17 - 6)² + (-4 - 6)²}]/(5)]

σ = √[[(2)² + (-9)² + (6)² + (11)² + (-10)²]/(5)]

σ = √[(4 + 81 + 36 + 121 + 100)/(5)] = √(342/5) = 8.27 percent.

What is the simplified form of this expression? (2x + 9) + (11x − 4)
timama [110]
The simplified form is 13x+5

You first add 2x and 11x, where you will get 13x, and from there, you subtract 4 from 9, where you will get 5, resulting in the answer of 13x+5.

Hope this helps :)
