Answer:

unknown number is 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let unknown number be 'x'

given that quotient of 12 times x and 13 is 6

i.e. 12 x/13 =6

multiply 13 both sides

12x = 6 * 13

divide 12 on both sides

x= (6*13)/12

x=13/2

Is anyone good at elimination method? I will give 10 points to the person that answer the question. :)

Licemer1 [7]

To eliminate x, the coefficients of x's in both equations should be opposite numbers. Since the coefficient of x in the second equation is 3, the coefficient in the first equation should be -3. So she should multiply the first equation by -3.

Shana bought 6.2 pounds of pecans and paid $56.00. About how much per pound did the pecans cost?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: $10.00
Explanation: round 6.2 down to 6, and round $56.00 up to $60.00 and then see which answer choice fits. 10 multiplied by 6 is 60 which would mean about 1 pound of pecans costs $10.00

A half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of

Ainat [17]

Answer:

99.5% of all samples of 21 of today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20's was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of today's women in their 20's are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.07 inches.

Also, a samples of 21 of today's women in their 20's have been taken.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean heights

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean height of women = 64.7 inches

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 2.07 inches

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the sample of 21 of today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 inches is given by = P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 65.86 inches)

P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 65.86 inches) = P( $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\geq$ $\frac{65.86-64.7}{\frac{2.07}{\sqrt{21} } }$ ) = P(Z $\geq$ -2.57) = P(Z $\leq$ 2.57)
