(You forgot to add the question, but I guess you want to know the mass of the turkey for 14 people :p )
By hypothesis, 1 lb = 450g. Adam wants that each of the 14 person, get 3/4 lb. Let x be the mass of 3/4 lb in grams, using the rule of three:

1 lb --> 450g
3/4 lb --> x

x = 3/4 * 450 = 337.5
So 3/4 lb = 337.5 g

Adam wants to cook for 14 people and wants to allow 3/4 lb of turkey for each person, so 337.5 for each.
So to know the total mass of the turkey, you multiply the mass for one person by the total number of people:
337.5 * 14 = 4725
So the mass of the turkey for 14 people is 4725g, or 10.5 lb (3/4 * 14)

Hope this Helps! :)

3/4 = .75

.75 x 14 = 10.5 = 10 1/2

convert to grams = 10.5 * 450 = 4,725 grams

so he needs to cook a 10 1/2 lbs or 4,725 grams turkey for 14 people to allow 3/4 lbs each person.

In 2012, a competition sponsored 301 sporting events. This was 256 more events than there were in an 1896 competition. How many

Vika [28.1K]

There were 54 sporting events in the year 1896 hosted by the competition

What is the function to determine the number of events in 1896?

The fact that events which are 301 sporting events in 2012 are 256 more than that of the events in 1896, means that the number of events in 1896 is 256 less than that of 2012

number of events in 1896=number of events in 2012-256

number of events in 2012=310

number of events in 1896=310-256

number of events in 1896=54 events

The incubation time for hummingbird eggs is approximately normal and has a mean of 16 days and standard deviation of 2 days. Let

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

0.5328 = 53.28% probability that the length of hatching times is between 15 and 18 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 16 days and standard deviation of 2 days.

This means that $\mu = 16, \sigma = 2$
