The number of pages in the books in a library follow a normal distribution. The mean number of pages in a book is 150 with a sta

ndard deviation of 30. if the library has 500 books, how many of the books have less than 180 pages.

As the mean is E[X] =150 and \sigma = 30, using the normal distribution to get the answer is just using Z. So, what we need is P(X<180). 

Z=  \frac{x-E[X]}{\sigma } = \frac{180-150}{30} =  \frac{30}{30} = 1

P(x<180) = P(z< 1) = \phi(1) = 0.8413. 

Then, just multiplying the amount of books you have, which is 500, with the probability would give how many books are less than 180 pages, being:
0.8413 * 500 = 420.65

Evaluate : limx→ tan2-sin2x x3
GrogVix [38]

Given:

\lim _{x\to0}\frac{\tan 2x-\sin 2x}{x^3}

Solve:

\lim _{x\to0}\frac{\tan 2x-\sin 2x}{x^3}

Use l'hopital's rule:

\begin{gathered} =\lim _{x\to0}\frac{\frac{d}{dx}(-\sin 2x+\tan 2x)}{\frac{d}{dx}(x^3)} \\ =\lim _{x\to0}\frac{-2\cos (2x)+2\tan ^2(2x)+2}{3x^2} \end{gathered}

Simplify:

\begin{gathered} =\lim _{x\to0}\frac{-2\cos (2x)+2\tan ^2(2x)+2}{3x^2} \\ =\lim _{x\to0}\frac{2(-\cos (2x)+\tan ^2(2x)+1)}{3x^2} \end{gathered}

Apply the constant multiple rule:

\begin{gathered} \lim _{x\to0}cf(x)=c\lim _{x\to0}f(x) \\ \text{With c=}\frac{2}{3} \\ f(x)=\frac{-\cos (2x)+\tan ^2(2x)+1}{x^2} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} =\frac{2\lim _{x\to0}\frac{-\cos (2x)+\tan ^2(2x)+1}{x^2}}{3} \\ =\frac{2\lim _{x\rightarrow0}\frac{(4\tan ^2(2x)+4)\tan (2x)+2\sin (2x)}{2x}}{3} \end{gathered}

Similary :

\begin{gathered} =\frac{2\lim _{x\to0}(2\cos (2x)+12\tan ^4(2x)+16\tan ^2(2x)+4)}{3} \\ =\frac{2(6)}{3} \\ =4 \end{gathered}

You bake 42 chocolate cupcakes and 28 red velvet cupcakes.You package them in boxes that have the same ratio of chocolate to red
blondinia [14]

Answer: 16 red velvet cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you can apply the following proccedure:

- Let's call the number of red velvet cupcakes in a box that has 24 chocolate cupcakes: x

- Based on the information given in the problem, you can set up the following proportion and Solve for x<em>:</em>

\frac{42}{28}=\frac{24}{x}\\\\1.5x=24\\x=16

There are 16 red velvet cupcakes in a box that has 24 chocolate cupcakes.

Zahra wants the equation below to have an infinite number of solutions when the missing number is placed in the box.
zhannawk [14.2K]

The answer is -3.

To find this, we simply have to solve the equation and leave only the blank and the parenthesis that it is with on the right side. Then we can divide by the parenthesis. The work for this is done for you below.

____(x - 3) + 2x = -(x - 5) + 4 ----> Distribute the -1 to the parenthesis.

____(x + 3) + 2x = -x + 5 + 4 ----> Simplify

____(x + 3) + 2x = -x + 9 ----> Subtract 2x from both sides

____(x + 3) = -3x + 9 ------> Divide both sides by x + 3

____ = -3.

(1) let "r" denote number of rabbits, "c"  number of chickens

Set up the equations:

r + c = 1000\\4r + 2c = 3150\\\\-2r -2c = -2000\\4r + 2c = 3150\\\\2r = 1150\implies r = 575\implies c = 425

Answer: There are 575 rabbits and 425 chickens

(2) m - number of Mike's stamps, a - number of Andrew's stamps.

Set up equations:

m = 4a\\m-8 = 2(a+8)\\\\4a-8=2a + 16\\2a = 24\implies a = 12\implies m = 48\\

Answer:  Mike has 48 stamps. Andrew has 12 stamps.
