Answer:The number of the 2- pound bags is 56 and the number of the 5- pound bags is 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of the 2- pound bags and the 5- pound bags be n since they used the same number.

5n + 2n = 196

7n=196

n= 196/7

n= 28

Therefore the number of the 2- pound bags is 2× 28= 56

and the number if the 5- pound bags is 5×28= 140

1 + 5sin^2x= 7sin^2x solve trig equation. Can you show me how to solve this trig equation?
pantera1 [17]

Answer: x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}

Step by step:

1 + 5\sin^2x= 7\sin^2x\\\sin^2 x\rightarrow z\\1 + 5z = 7z\\2z = 1\\z = \frac{1}{2}\implies \sin^2 x = \frac{1}{2}\\|\sin x| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\sin x = \pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\implies x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}

A biologist uses a box-shaped fish trap that measures 1/4meter by 2/3meter by 3/5meter. What is the volume of the trap in the cu
Travka [436]

To find the volume of a box-shaped fish trap, we have to multiply the three dimensions of it: 

(1/4 m)* (2/3 m)* (3/5 m)

= (1*2*3)/ (4*3*5) m^(3)

= 6/ 60 m^(3)

= 1/10 m^(3)

= 0.1 m^(3)

The volume of the box-shaped fish trap is 0.1 m^(3).

Hope this is helpful~

When the outliers are removed, how does the mean change? dot plot with 1 on 50, 1 on 76, 1 on 78, 2 on 79, 1 on 80, 1 on 81, 2 o
sveticcg [70]
We can plot this data on MS Excel and determine the distribution of these data reflected on the graph. Among these numbers, 50 is the outlier since it is very far from the other numbers ranging from 76 to 83. We can perform interquartile range to determine or verify the outliers in the data set. In this respect, we can see that there is not much distribution seen. The average of all data sets is equal to 96.25. When the outlier (50) is removed, we expect the mean to become higher since a low number was ommitted including high numbers only. Outliers are obtained from special causations such as human errors.
