A=24+b
c=4a
c=4(24+b)
a+b+c=180
24+b+b+4(24+b)=180
24+b+b+96+4b=180
120+6b=180
6b=60
b=10
a=24+10
a=34
c=4(34)
c=136
34+10+136=180
So book a has 34 pages, book b has 10 pages, and book c has 136 pages.

<em>a=b+24</em>
<em>c=4a</em>
<em>b=a-24</em>
a+b+c=180
<u>sub in a,b and c into a+b+c=180</u>
b+24+4a+a-24=180
b+5a=180
sub a=b+24
b+5(b+24)=180
b+5b+120=180
6b=180-120
6b=60
b=10
Book B has 10 pages

goldfiish [28.3K]
Okay, so let's find the actual failure rate first. 6/1000 times 100 (to give over a 100%) equals to 0.6. The actual failure rate is 0.6%. The theoretical probability is 0.2% 0.6-0.2=0.4. The difference is 0.4%. 
Hope that helped!

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample proportion have the following distribution:

\hat p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.04 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

We assume that a prior estimation for p would be \hat p =0.5 since we don't have any other info provided. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421

Consider the logarithms base 5. For each logarithmic expression below, either calculate the value of the expression or explain w
Tom [10]

Answer:

log₅(3125) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

log₅(3125)

Now,

using the property of log function that

logₐ(b) = \frac{\log(b)}{\log(a)}

thus,

Therefore, applying the above property, we get

⇒ \frac{\log(3125)}{\log(5)}   (here log = log base 10)

now,

3125 = 5⁵

thus,

⇒  \frac{\log(5^5)}{\log(5)}

Now,

we know from the properties of log function that

log(aᵇ) = b × log(a)

therefore applying the above property we get

⇒ \frac{5\log(5)}{\log(5)}

or

⇒ 5

Hence,

log₅(3125) = 5
