Answer:

15 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to see how much money Rose would earn if she sold the 10 pendents, so we will multiply 4×10.

4×10=40

Now we know, she already has 40 dollars of the 160 dollars she needs.

To find out how much she needs left, we will subtract 40 from 160.

160-40=120

She needs a total of 120 more dollars from working.

To find out how many hours she needs to work, we will divide 120 by 8.

120÷8=15.

In conclusion, she needs to work for at least15 hours to receive enough money.Please help me by marking this brainliest, and giving a thanks!

What is the solution of -8 / 2 y - 8 equals 5 / y + 4 - 7 y + 8 / Y 2 - 16

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The value of y is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}$

It can be rewritten as

$\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}+\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-4^2}$

$\dfrac{-4}{(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}+\dfrac{7y+8}{(y+4)(y-4)}$

Multiply both sides by (y+4)(y-4).

$(y+4)(y-4)(\dfrac{-4}{(y-4)})=(y+4)(y-4)(\dfrac{5}{y+4})+(y+4)(y-4)(\dfrac{7y+8}{(y+4)(y-4)})$

$(y+4)(-4)=(y-4)(5)+7y+8$

$-4y-16=5y-20-(7y+8)$

$-4y-16=5y-20-7y-8$

$-4y-16=-2y-28$

$-4y+2y=-28+16$

$-2y=-12$

Divide both sides by -2.

$y=6$

Therefore, the value of y is 6.

A sample of 25 undergraduates reported the following dollar amounts of entertainment expenses last year:

marin [14]

Answer:

$Range = 85$

$\sigma = 28.71$

$Interval = [666.78, 781.62]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data for 25 undergraduates

Solving (a): Range and Standard deviation

The range is:

$Range = Highest - Least$

From the dataset:

$Highest = 772$

$Least = 687$

So:

$Range = Highest - Least$

$Range = 772-687$

$Range = 85$

The standard deviation is:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n}}$

First, calculate the mean

$\bar x = \frac{769 +691 +............+715}{25}$

$\bar x = \frac{18105}{25}$

$\bar x = 724.2$

So, the standard deviation is:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(769-724.2)^2 +(691-724.2)^2 +(699-724.2)^2 +(730-724.2)^2 +............+(715-724.2)^2}{25}}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{20604}{25}}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{824.16}$

$\sigma = 28.71$

Solving (b): The interval of the 95% of the observation.

Using the emperical rule, we have:

$Interval = [\bar x - 2*\sigma, \bar x+ 2*\sigma]$

$Interval = [724.2 - 2*28.71, 724.2 + 2*28.71]$

$Interval = [666.78, 781.62]$

Which is the biggest number 2.07 2.24 2.4 2 2.04

Temka [501]

Among all these no., see the first no. that lies before or left side of decimal point, here... 2 is common so next check the no. After decimal... 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2 is considered as 2.0 and then we have 2.0... Let's not take 2.0s and let's take 2.2 and 2.4 which is greater than 2.0. Next see the second no. That comes after decimal We have 2.24 and 2.4 which can be taken as 2.40... The no.s after decimal, 24 is greater than 40 so 2.4 is greater...
