Answer:

Hey there!

The x-intercept is (6,0) meaning that if no children attend, 6 adults will attend.

The y-intercept is (0,14) meaning that if no adults attend, 14 children will attend.

Let me know if this helps :)

suppose X and Y are independent random variables, both with normal distributions. If X has a mean of 45 with a standard deviatio

djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

$\mu_X = 45, \sigma_X = 4, \mu_Y = 35, \sigma_Y = 3$

What is the probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

This means that the subtraction of X by Y has to be positive.

When we subtract two normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of their means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of their variances. So

$\mu = \mu_X - \mu_Y = 45 - 35 = 0$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5$

We want to find P(X > 0), that is, 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{0 - 10}{5}$

$Z = -2$

$Z = -2$ has a pvalue of 0.0228

1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

I need an answer ASAP!!! Tyyyy

Part A

x = amount of money she starts with

(4/9)x = cost of the dress

(5/9)x = amount of money leftover after buying the dress

note that 4/9 and 5/9 add to 1 to represent 100% of her money

(3/4)*(5/9)x = (15/36)x = (5/12)x = amount spent on shoes

We see that she spent 5/12 of her original amount of money on shoes.

-----------------------

We can look at a more concrete example if the previous section does not make sense.

Let's multiply the denominators 9 and 4 to get 9*4 = 36. Doing this trick will mean that the later steps won't involve decimal values.

Let's say she starts off with $36

Multiply that with 4/9 to get (4/9)*36 = 16. So in this hypothetical situation, the dress costs $16 and she's left with 36-16 = 20 dollars.

Multiply that 20 by 3/4 to get (3/4)*20 = 15

In this situation, the shoes cost $15

We'll then divide the cost of the shoes (15) over the original amount of money she started with (36)

15/36 = (3*5)/(3*12) = 5/12

-----------------------

<h3>Answer: 5/12</h3>

=======================================================

Part B

From the first section in part A, we found that:

(4/9)x = amount of money spent on the dress
(5/12)x = amount of money spent on shoes

Add those two expressions

(4/9)x + (5/12)x = (16/36)x + (15/36)x = (31/36)x

This indicates that buying the dress and shoes will cost (31/36)x dollars, where x is the original amount of money Jing has to start with.

The amount left over is (5/36)x because 5/36 adds with 31/36 to get 1.

Take 1/3 of this to get:

(1/3)*(5/36)x = (5/108)x

Then set this equal to 18 and solve for x

(5/108)x = 18

5x = 18*108

5x = 1944

x = 1944/5

x = 388.80

--------------------

Let's check the answer

If she starts with 388.80 dollars, then the dress costs (4/9)*388.80 = 172.80

She's left with 388.80 - 172.80 = 216 dollars after buying the dress.

She then spends the remaining 3/4 of that on shoes. So (3/4)*216 = 162 dollars is spent on the shoes.

Jing now has 216 - 162 = 54 dollars left over.

1/3 of which is spent on the shoe bag, meaning it costs (1/3)*54 = 18 dollars

This confirms our answer.

At a hardware store a bag holds up to 1 pound of nails. Each penny nail (x) weighs 0.05 pounds and each wood nail (y) weighs 0.1

posledela

For this answer, you multiply the weight of each penny nail by x and the weight of each wood nail by y. If the bag holds one pound of nails, you would use the inequality ≤.

.05x + 0.1y ≤ 1
