<h3>Answers:</h3>

x+y = \boxed{ \ 8 \ }

\boxed{ \ 0.10 \ }x+\boxed{ \ 0.30 \ }y = \boxed{ \ 2\ }

\boxed{ \ 2 } cups of the 10% sugar solution

\boxed{ \ 6 } cups of the 30% sugar solution

============================================================

Work Shown:

x = number of cups of the 10% solution

y = number of cups of the 30% solution

The two mixes add together to get 8 cups since this is the total amount we want. Therefore, the first equation is simply x+y = 8

Solve for y to get y = 8-x. We'll use this equation later.

-----------------------

The second equation is a bit more tricky.

0.10x = amount of pure sugar from just the 10% batch

0.30y = amount of pure sugar from just the 30% batch

0.10x+0.30y = total amount of pure sugar from both batches

25% of 8 = 0.25*8 = 2 = total amount of pure sugar required

0.10x+0.30y = 2 is the second equation

-----------------------

Apply substitution to solve for x and y

0.10x+0.30y = 2 ..... start with the second equation

0.10x+0.30(8-x) = 2 ....... plug in y = 8-x

0.10x+2.4-0.30x = 2 ..... distribute

-0.20x + 2.4 = 2

-0.20x = 2-2.4 ....... subtract 2.4 from both sides

-0.20x = -0.4

x = -0.4/(-0.20) ..... divide both sides by -0.20

x = 2

Now that we know the value of x, we can find y.

y = 8-x

y = 8-2 ... plug in x = 2

y = 6

So we need 2 cups of the 10% solution and 6 cups of the 30% solution.

-----------------------

As a check,

x+y = 2+6 = 8 works out

0.10*x+0.30*y = 0.10*2+0.30*6 = 0.2+1.8 = 2 works out as well

What is the probability that in a randomly selected game, the first goal is scored in less than 4 minutes?
kogti [31]

Based on the characteristics of the distribution, the probability that the first goal is scored in less than 4 minutes is 0.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

For us to be able to calculate the probability that the first goal is scored in less than 4 minutes, the distribution needs to satisfy the requirements of the Central Limit Theorem(CLT).

Based on the fact that the distribution here is extremely right skewed, then it does not satisfy the requirements of CLT so the probability is 0.

First part of question:

The distribution of the time it takes for the first goal to be scored in a hockey game is known to be extremely right skewed with population mean 12 minutes and population standard deviation 8 minutes.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to -x+3y=6 and passes through the point (3,5)?
Elena-2011 [213]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

We have the following line:

-x + 3y = 6\\3y = x + 6\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + \frac {6} {3}\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + 2

Thus, the slope is:m_ {1} = \frac {1} {3}

Then m_ {2} = \frac {1} {3}

So, the line is of the form:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + b

We substitute the point(x, y) :( 3,5)and find b:

5 = \frac {1} {3} (3) + b\\5 = b

Thus, the equation is:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5

Answer:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5
