A privately owned lake contains two types of game fish, bass and trout. The owner provides two types of food, A and B, for these

fish. Bass require 2 units of food A and 4 units of food B, and trout require 5 units of food A and 2 units of food B. If the owner has 1200 units of each food, find the maximum number of fish that the lake can support.

Answer: the maximum number of fish that the lake can support = 375 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and t represent the bass and trout fish respectively.

Given that;

i. Bass require 2 units of food A and 4 units of food B

ii. trout require 5 units of food A and 2 units of food B

iii. the owner has 1200 units of each food

For food A

2b + 5t = 1200 ....eqn1

For food B

4b + 2t = 1200 ....eqn2

Solving the simultaneous equation

Multiplying eqn1 by 2. We have;

4b + 10t = 2400 .....eqn3

Subtract eqn2 from eqn3

4b-4b +10t-2t = 2400-1200

8t = 1200

t = 1200/8

t = 150

Substituting t= 150 into eqn1

2b + 5(150) = 1200

2b = 1200 - 750 = 450

b = 450/2 = 225

Therefore, the total number of fish is given as

t + b = 150 + 225 = 375

225 bass and 150 trout

What is the area of the figure?
rewona [7]

Answer:

57 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the boxes into two parts.

One box measuring 11.5 ft long and 3 ft wide. (Box A)

The second box measuring 7.5 ft long and 3 ft wide. (Box B)

Area (figure) = Area of box A + Area of box B

Area of box A

3 × 11.5 = 34.5 ft²

Area of box B

3 × 7.5 = 22.5 ft²

Area of figure = 34.5 + 22.5

Area of figure = 57 ft²

In an article about the cost of health care, Money magazine reported that a visit to a hospital emergency room for something as
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Assume a normal distribution :

Mean (m) = 328

Standard deviation (sd) = 92

To obtain Zscore :

Zscore = (x - m) / sd

What is the probability that the cost will be more than $500?

x = $500

Zscore = (500 - 328) / 92 = 172 / 92 = 1.869 = 1.87

1 - p(Z < 1.87) = 1 - 0.9693 = 0.0307

b. What is the probability that the cost will be less than $250?

x = $250

Zscore = (250 - 328) / 92 = - 78 / 92 = - 0.8478 = - 0.85

p(Z < - 0.85) = 0.1977

c. What is the probability that the cost will be between $300 and $400?

x = 300

Zscore = (300 - 328) / 92 = - 28/ 92 = -0.30

p(Z < - 0.3) = 0.3821

x = 400

Zscore = (400 - 328) / 92 = 72/ 92 = 0.783

p(Z < 0.783) = 0.7823

0.7823 - 0.3821 = 0.4002

d. If the cost to a patient is in the lower 8% of charges for this medical service, what was the cost of this patient’s emergency room visit?

Probability is lower 8%

P (Z < Zscore) = 0.08

Zscore of 0.08 corresponds to - 1.41 on the z table

Zscore = (x - m) / sd

-1.41 = (x - 328) / 92

-129.72 = x - 328

-129.72 + 328 = x

x = 198.28
