Answer:

Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A :

Mean = 272 nails

Standard deviation = 5.4 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 272 + z × 5.4

⇒ z = -2.222

Hence, Company A has a chance of 1.32% of producing exactly or fewer than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Company B :

Mean = 249 nails

Standard deviation = 3.8 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 249 + z × 4.8

⇒ z = 2.895

Hence, Company B has a chance of 0.19% of producing exactly or more than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Therefore, Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The higher you go in the good chain the lower the population.

Explanation:

In the food web, there are only a few sharks since in the food chain they are higher. Just 10% energy is retained in the tissues once the energy is moved from one trophic level to another, and the leftover power is emitted as metabolic energy.

If an animal is high up the energy ladder, the individual has less resources; thus, a few of the highest predators are present in an ecosystem.

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team
almond37 [142]

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20
