Miranda buys 2 apples. 

<span>Derive two simultaneous equations a + o = 5 and 3a + 2o = 12 </span>
<span>make a = 5 - o substitute in 2nd equation and you find o = 3, </span>
when you put that back into the first equation you will see she 
<span>buys two apples. 

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Suppose that the lifetime of tv tubes are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.1 years. Suppose that exactly 20%
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

4.924 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets denote X the lifetime of a tv tube (In years). X has distribution N(\mu, 1.1) , with \mu unknown.

We know that P(X < 4) = 0.2. Using this data, we can find the value of \mu throught standarization.

Lets call Z = \frac{X - \mu}{1.1} the standarization of X. Z has distribution N(0,1), and its cummulative function, \phi is tabulated. The values of \phi can be found in the attached file.

P(X < 4) = P(\frac{X - \mu}{1.1} < \frac{4 - \mu}{1.1}) = P(Z < \frac{4 - \mu}{1.1}) = \phi(\frac{4 - \mu}{1.1}) = 0.2

The value q such that \phi (q) = 0.2 doesnt appear on the table. We can find it by using the symmetry of the normal density function. The opposite of q, -q must verify that \phi(-q) = 0.8 , hence -q must be equal to 0.84. Thus, q = -0.84

But this value of q should match with the number \frac{4 - \mu}{1.1} , so we have

\frac{4- \mu}{1.1} = -0.84

4 - \mu = 1.1 * (-0.84) = -0.924

\mu = 4 - (-0.924) = 4.924

Thus, the expected lifetime of TV tubes is 4.924 years.

I hope this works for you!

BDсStatementsReasons1. AB || CDAC || BD1. GivenIf two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then:2. ZABC ZBCDLACB LDBC2.1-13.
Anna11 [10]

The diagram shows statements to prove that both triangles are congruent.

Hence;

\begin{gathered} (2) \\ \angle ABC\cong\angle BCD \\ \angle ACB\cong\angle DBC \\ Alternate\text{ interior angles are congruent } \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} (3) \\ BC\cong BC \\ \operatorname{Re}flexive\text{ property} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} (4) \\ \Delta ACB\cong\Delta DBC \\ \text{Side}-\text{Angle}-\text{Side} \end{gathered}

Step 1 showed two sides that are congruent for both triangles

Step 2 showed two angles that are congruent

Step 3 showed two sides that are congruent

Therefore, the triangles are congruent by the side-angle-side theorem
