Y BOUGHT FOUR TIMES AS MANY BAGS OF PRETZELS AS BAGS OF CHIPS, AND THREE FEWER BAGS OF NACHOS THAN BAGS OF PRETZELS. IF x REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF BAGS OF CHIPS THEY BROUGHT, EXPRESS, IN TERMS OF x, HOW MANY BAGS OF SNACKS THEY BROUGHT IN ALL

Answer:X(2X-23)/(X-12)


Step-by-step explanation:

C = Chips = X

P = Pretzels

N = Nachos


First: X  (number of bags of Chips)

Second: 4P=X  (number of bags of pretzels)

Third: P=(P-3)N (number of bags of Nachos)

we need to simplify them and add them.

they bought:

X + 4P + (P-3)N in total


from the Nachos we can see: N= P/(P-3)

and from the Pretzels: 4P=X       X=4P     Therefore P=X/4

Also: N=(X/4)/((X/4)-3)

Replace:

X+ X + (X/4)/ ((X/4)-3)

2X+ 4/X/((X/4)-3) = 2X+(X/4)/((x-12)/4)

2X+X/4*4/(X-12)

2X+X/(X-12)

(2X*(X-12)+X)/(X-12)

(2X^2-24X+X)/(X-12)

X*(2X-23)/(X-12)

Since the area under the normal curve within two standard deviations of the mean is 0.95, the area under the normal curve that c
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

X \sim N (\mu ,\sigma)

And for this case we know this condition:

P(\mu-2\sigma

By the complement rule we know that:

P(X< \mu -2\sigma \cup X>\mu +2\sigma) = 1-0.95=0.05

But since the distribution is symmetrical we know that:

P(X\mu +2\sigma) = 0.025

So then the statement for this case is FALSE.

b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

For this case if we define the random variable of interest X and we know that this random variable follows a normal distribution:

X \sim N (\mu ,\sigma)

And for this case we know this condition:

P(\mu-2\sigma

By the complement rule we know that:

P(X< \mu -2\sigma \cup X>\mu +2\sigma) = 1-0.95=0.05

But since the distribution is symmetrical we know that:

P(X\mu +2\sigma) = 0.025

So then the statement for this case is FALSE.

b. False
