Answer: A bag can weigh 13.77 ounces and not need to be repacked.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 12.08 ounces

Standard deviation = 1.03 ounces

Bags in the upper 5% are too heavy and must be repackaged.

Using the standard normal table.

z = 1.645

So, X=\mu+z\sigma\\\\X=12.08+1.645\times 1.03\\\\X=13.77\ ounces

Hence, A bag can weigh 13.77 ounces and not need to be repacked.

denis23 [38]
You're going to set up a proportion. % over 100 = is over of. You're looking for the percent so that's your x. X over 100=7 over 25. Cross multiply to get 25x=700. Divide both sides by 25 and your answer is 28%

After 5 years, a $2,450 investment is worth $3,123.75.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use a modified version of the simple interest formula which is shown below:

r=\frac{I}{Pt}

<em>I = interest amount</em>

<em>P = principal amount</em>

<em>t = time (years)</em>

<em />

The first step is to find the interest gained from the investment.

3,123.75-2,450=673.75

Next, plug in the values into the equation:

r=\frac{673.75}{(2,450)(5)}     Multiply the bottom values

r=\frac{673.75}{12,550}         Divide the values

r=.055

The last step is to convert 0.055 into a percent:

0.055(100)=5.5

The interest rate is 5.5%

3x^2 + 4x = -8<br> solve using quadratic formula
Firdavs [7]

Use the quadratic equation to solve this (image of the quadratic equation is below)

Remember that quadratic functions are set up like so:

ax^{2} +bx +c = 0

To make the equation 3x² + 4x = -8 into a quadratic function you must bring -8 to the left side of the equation so it equals zero. To do this add 8 to both sides

3x² + 4x + 8= -8 + 8

3x² + 4x + 8 = 0

That means that in this equation...

a = 3

b = 4

c = 8

^^^Plug these numbers into the quadratic equation and solve  (Keep in mind that +/- is ± )

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{(4)^{2}-4(3)(8)}}{2(3)}

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{16-96}}{6}

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{-80}}{6}

^^^There is no real solution to this equation. You must have an imaginary solution

\frac{-4+/-i\sqrt{80}}{6}

Simplify

\frac{-2+/-2i \sqrt{5}}{3}

Hope this helped!
