1/2n - 4 = 5
1/2n = 5 + 4
1/2n = 9
n = 9 * 2
n = 18 <==

Answer:

$0.04 per cubic foot
c(w) = 0.04w +80
3400 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(a, b) We are given two pairs of values:

(w, c) = (1900, 156) and (2600, 184)

so we can write the equation of the relationship using the 2-point form of the equation of a line.

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

c = (184 -156)/(2600 -1900)(w -1900) +156 . . . . . substitute given points

c = 28/700(w -1900) +156

c(w) = 0.04w +80

The charge per cubic foot is $0.04.

(c) For a bill of $216, the amount of water used is ...

216 = 0.04w +80

136 = 0.04w

3400 = w

Use of 3400 cubic feet of water would lead to a bill of $216.

Amanda earned a score of 940 on a national achievement test that was normally distributed. The mean test score was 850 with a st

Sindrei [870]

First, to find out the number of students who scored below Amanda, we must find the z-score value of Amanda's score using the formula below.

$Z = \frac{(\chi - \mu)}{\sigma}$

where Z is the z-score, Χ is the expected average value, μ is the mean of Χ, and δ is the standard deviation. Thus, we have

$Z = \frac{(940 - 850)}{\sqrt{100}}$
$Z = 0.90$

Thus, using the z-table, we have P(Z<0.90) = 0.8159. Since we have wanted to find the number of students who scored below Amanda, then from the whole, we have (1 - 0.8159) = 0.1841. That means, out of 1000 students, 0.1841 of them scored below Amanda. Thus, we have (0.184)(1000) = 184.
