$\boxed{x=3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Standard Form of the equation of line is given by:

$Ax+Bx=C \\ \\ For \ A, \ B, \ C\ Real \ Constant \\ and \ A>0$

So:

$6x+y=18 \\ \\ is \ written \ in \ standard \ form$

The x-intercept can be found setting $y=0$ :

$6x+(0)=18 \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ 6x=18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=3}$

The amounts a soft drink machine is designed to dispense for each drink are normally distributed, with a mean of 12.1 fluid ounc

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$\mu = 12.1\\\sigma = 0.3$

a) Find the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces

We are supposed to find P(x<11.9)

x= 11.9

We will use z score formula :

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

$z=\frac{11.9-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=-0.67$

Refer the z table

So, P(z<-0.67) = 0.2514

Hence the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces is 0.2514

b)Find the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces

x= 11.6

We will use z score formula :

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

$z=\frac{11.6-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=-1.67$

x= 11.9

We will use z score formula :

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

$z=\frac{11.9-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=-0.67$

We are supposed to find P(11.6<x<11.9)

So, P(11.6<x<11.9)= P(x<11.9)-P(x<11.6)

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= P(z<-0.67)-P(z<-1.67)

Refer the z table

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= P(z<-0.67)-P(z<-1.67)

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= 0.2514-0.0475

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= 0.2039

So, the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces is 0.2039.

c)Find the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces

We are supposed to find P(x>12.6)

x= 12.6

We will use z score formula :

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

$z=\frac{12.6-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=1.67$

Refer the z table

P(x>12.6)=1-P(x<12.6)

P(z>1.67)=1-P(z<1.67)

P(z>1.67)=1-0.9525

P(z>1.67)=0.0475

Hence the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces is 0.0475

d) Is the drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces an unusual event?

Since p value is less than alpha (0.05)

Answer = No, because the probability that a drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces is less than 0.05, this event is not unusual.

Help me on this question! Jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn.His father can carry 1 5/7 times as much as jake.

ioda

$\text{ Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$

Solution:

From given question,

Number of pounds Jake carry = $6\frac{1}{4} \text{ pounds }$

Number of pounds his father carry is $1\frac{5}{7}$ times as much as jake

To find: Number of pounds Jake father can carry

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

$\rightarrow 6\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 6+1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}\\\\\rightarrow 1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1+5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}$

Then according to question,

$\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \text{ times the pounds jake carry }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{25}{4}\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7}\\\\\text{In terms of mixed fractions, }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7} = 10\frac{5}{7}$
