Answer:

Mr. Kelly bought $x=3.5$ pounds of chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets name x the number of pounds of chocolates Mr. Kelly bought and write the equation to express the total cost of the trail mix:

(1.5pounds of peanuts)*$4.50 + (x pounds of chocolates)*$4.50 = $22.50

2. To find the number of pounds of chocolates Mr. Kelly bought you need to solve the equation for x:

$(1.5*4.50)+4.50x=22.50$

$6.75+4.50x=22.50$

$4.50x=22.50-6.75$

$4.50x=15.75$

$x=\frac{15.75}{4.50}$

$x=3.5$ pounds of chocolates

The heights (measured in inches) of men aged 20 to 29 follow approximately the normal distribution with a standard deviation of

juin [17]

Answer:

I 90%(μ)= [69.648;71.951]

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval formula is:

I (1-alpha) (μ)= mean+- [(Z(alpha/2))* σ/sqr(n)]

alpha= is the proposition of the distribution tails that are outside the confidence interval. In this case, 10% because 100-90%

Z(5%)= is the critical value of the standardized normal distribution. In this case is 1.645

σ= standard deviation. In this case 2.8 inches

mean= 70.8 inches

n= number of observations

Then, the confidence interval (90%):

I 90%(μ)= 70.8+- [1.645*(2.8/sqr(16))

I 90%(μ)= 70.8+- [1.1515)

I 90%(μ)= [70.8-1.1515;70.8+1.1515]

I 90%(μ)= [69.6485;71.9515]

I 90%(μ)= [69.648;71.951]

What is the value of t in this equation? (j^-12)^-5=j^t

stealth61 [152]

OK, so to simplify the left hand side, we need to multiply -12 and -5 to get our final exponent for j, therefore we get j^60 = j^t,so t=60 is your answer

Parallelogram MNPQ was dilated to create parallelogram M'N'P'Q'. On a coordinate plane, 2 parallelograms are shown. Parallelogra

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statements are true about the parallelograms? Check all that apply.

The length of side MN is 2 units.

The length of side M'N' is 5 units.

The image is smaller than the pre-image.

Sides MQ and M'Q' both have the same slope, 1.

The scale factor is 2/5

a) The length of side MN is determined using the formula:

$|MN|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(-2-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{2^2}=2\\ \\ |MN|=2$

The first option is correct

b) The length of side M'N' is determined using the formula:

$|M'N'|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(10-5)^2+(-5-(-5))^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=2\\ \\ |M'N'|=5$

The second option is correct

c) From the coordinates of parallelogram MNPQ and M'N'P'Q', we can see that parallelogram MNPQ is dilated by a factor of 5/2 to produce parallelogram M'N'P'Q' , hence parallelogram M'N'P'Q' is bigger that parallelogram MNPQ. This means that The image is bigger than the pre-image.

The third option is wrong

d) The slopes are given as:

$Slope\ of\ MQ=\frac{Change\ in\ y}{Change\ in\ x}=\frac{1-2}{-3-(-2)} =1\\ \\Slope\ of\ M'Q'=\frac{Change\ in\ y}{Change\ in\ x}=\frac{3-5}{-7-(-5)} =1\\$

Option four is correct

e) From the coordinates of parallelogram MNPQ and M'N'P'Q', we can see that parallelogram MNPQ is dilated by a factor of 5/2 to produce parallelogram M'N'P'Q', hence the scale factor is 5/2

Option 5 is wrong
