Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes

2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Step 3:  Solve for x; isolate the variable 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality) Step 4: Interpret mathematical answer in context of original word problem. The cost of a single taco is $3.75 Step 5: Verify that answer makes sense for problem. 2 Tacos would cost $7.501 Salad would cost $2.50Food bill subtotal would be $10.00Sales tax is 8% of $10 or 80 centsTip is $3 Confirm 7.5 + 2.5 + .8 + 3 = $13.80

A counselor records the number of disagreements (per session) among couples during group counseling sessions. If the number of d
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

P(X>4)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{4-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{4-4.4}{0.4})=P(z>-1)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(z>-1)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the disagreements of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(4.4,0.4)  

Where \mu=4.4 and \sigma=0.4

We are interested on this probability

P(X>4)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>4)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{4-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{4-4.4}{0.4})=P(z>-1)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(z>-1)=1-P(z

X = ? y = ? 16 45 degrees
mezya [45]

Let's put more details in the figure to better understand the problem:

Let's first recall the three main trigonometric functions:

\text{ Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}\text{ Tangent }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Adjacent Side}}

For x, we will be using the Cosine Function:

\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ x}}{\text{ 1}6}(16)Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ =  x}(16)(\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = x}\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = x}

Therefore, x = 8√2.

For y, we will be using the Sine Function.

\text{  Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}\text{ Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ y}}{\text{ 1}6}\text{ (16)Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ =  y}\text{ (16)(}\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = y}\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = y}

Therefore, y = 8√2.
