<span>Answer is: 414 pounds of red fescue and 138 pounds of chewings fescue is needed to produce 552 pounds of mixture.</span>

<span>Explanation:
x - how much of red fescue is needed for one pound of mixture
y - how much of chewings fescue is needed for one pound of mixture</span>x*12+ y*16 = 15<span>x + y = 1
so, x=1-y
putting it into first line:</span><span>(1-y)*12 + y*16 = 15
12 - 12*y + 16*y = 15
4*y = 3
y=3/4
so, x= 1-3/4; x=1/4</span>So to produce 552 pounds of mixture we need..<span>To produce 1 pound of mixture we need: 3/4 pound of red fescue and 1/4 pound of chewing fescue so to produce 552 pounds of miture we need:
552*3/4 - red fescue, which is 414 pounds needed
and
552/4 - chewings fescue, which is 138 pounds needed</span>

Answer:

e+ f = 8 (total solution)

8e + 56f = 20*8 (total saline)

---

e+ f = 8

e + 7f = 20

------------ Subtract

-6f = -12

f = 2

e = 6

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$2,677.72

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 3C

P

4P + 3L = 1,580.62

2L + 5C = 1,340.90

4P + 5L + 3C = ?

2L + 5C = 1,340.90

6C + 5C = 1,340.90

11C = 1,340.90

C = 121.90

121.90 * 3 = 365.70

L = 365.70

4P + 3L = 1,580.62

365.70 * 3 = 1,097.10

4P = 483.52

P = 120.88

C = 121.90

L = 365.70

P = 120.88

4P + 5L + 3C = ?

4(120.88) + 5(365.70) + 3(121.90) = 2,677.72

The amount of lateral expansion (mils) was determined for a sample of n = 7 pulsed-power gas metal arc welds used in LNG ship co
zvonat [6]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval for σ2 and for σ is (3.33 , 38.85) and (1.82 , 6.23) respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of lateral expansion (mils) was determined for a sample of n = 7 pulsed-power gas metal arc welds used in LNG ship containment tanks. The resulting sample standard deviation was s = 2.83 mils.

Assuming data follows normal distribution.

So, firstly the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population variance is given by;

        P.Q. = \frac{(n-1)s^{2} }{\sigma^{2} } ~ \chi^{2} __n_-_1

where, s = sample standard deviation = 2.83 mils

          \sigma^{2} = population variance

           \sigma = population standard deviation

           n = sample size = 7

<em>So, 95% confidence interval for population variance, </em>\sigma^{2} <em>is;</em>

P(1.237 < \chi^{2} __n_-_1 < 14.45) = 0.95 {As the table of at 6 degree of freedom

                                                     gives critical values of 1.237 & 14.45}

P(1.237 < \frac{(n-1)s^{2} }{\sigma^{2} } < 14.45) = 0.95

P( \frac{ 1.237}{(n-1)s^{2} } < \frac{1 }{\sigma^{2} } < \frac{ 14.45}{(n-1)s^{2} } ) = 0.95

P( \frac{ (n-1)s^{2}}{14.45 } < \sigma^{2} < \frac{ (n-1)s^{2}}{1.237 } ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for \sigma^{2} = ( \frac{ (n-1)s^{2}}{14.45 }  , \frac{ (n-1)s^{2}}{1.237 }  )

                                                  = ( \frac{ (7-1) \times 2.83^{2}}{14.45 } , \frac{ (7-1) \times 2.83^{2}}{1.237 } )

                                                  = (3.33 , 38.85)

95% C.I. for population standard deviation, \sigma  = ( \sqrt{3.33} , \sqrt{38.85} )

                                                                            = (1.82 , 6.23)

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the population variance (σ2) and population standard deviation (σ) are (3.33 , 38.85) and (1.82 , 6.23) respectively.

Solve 47 (math operation)
Alchen [17]

Answer:

  t ≈ -2.014 or 3.647

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the opposite of the expression on the right side of the equal sign to put the equation into standard form.

  4.9t² -8t -36 = 0

You can divide by 4.9 to make this a little easier to solve.

  t² -(8/4.9)t -36/4.9 = 0

Now, add and subtract the square of half the x-coefficient to "complete the square."

  t² -(8/4.9)t +(4/4.9)² -36/4.9 -(4/4.9)² = 0

  (t -4/4.9)² -192.4/4.9² = 0 . . . . simplify

Add the constant term, then take the square root.

  (t -4/4.9)² = 192.4/4.9²

  t -4/4.9 = ±(√192.4)/4.9

  t = (4 ± √192.4)/4.9

  t ≈ {-2.014, 3.647}
