It has no solution. The statement is false for any value x and y therefore the system of equations has no solution.

Blake and his brother are participating in their school’s food drive. Blake has collected 6 1/3 pounds of food and his brother h

They will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

<h3>Sum and difference of fractions</h3>

Given the following information as shown:

Amount Blake collected = 6 1/3 pounds
Amount his brother collected = 5 3/4 pounds

If their goal is to collect 14 1/2 pounds of food by the end of the month, the remaining food they need to collect will be expressed as:

y =14 1/2 - (6 1/3 + 5 3/4)

y = 14 1/2 - (19/3 + 23/4)

y = 29/2 - (76+69/12)

y = 29/2 - (145/12)

y = 174-145/12

y = 29/12

y = 2 5/12

Hence they will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

You buy Apple stock for $120 per share over a period of time the stock value increased at a weekly rate of 5% you sell the stock

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

8.31 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of one share of Apple stock, C=$120

Rate is the increment of the stock value, R= 5%/week=0.05 / week.

Assuming that after t week, the stock has been sold for $180.

Since the stock value increased at 5% every week, so, the interest is compounded weekly, so

$S=C\left(1+R\right)^t \\\\ \Rightarrow 180 = 120\left(1+0.05\right)^t \\\\ \Rightarrow 180 = 120\left(1.05 )^t \\\\$

$\Rightarrow \frac{180}{120}=1.05^t \\\\\Rightarrow 1.5=1.05^t$

$\Rightarrow \ln(1.5)=t \ln(1.05)$ [taking log both sides]

$\Rightarrow t=\frac {\ln(1.5)}{\ln(1.05)}=8.31$ weeks

Hence, after 8.31 weeks the stock has been sold for $180.

Suppose in the University of Manitoba, 40% of the students live in apartments. If 600 students are randomly selected, then the a

just olya [345]

Answer:

$P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)$

$=P(Z$

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact way to solve this problem is using the binomial distribution, assuming that our random variable of interest is "number of students living in apartments" represented by X and $X \sim Bin(n=600, p =0.4)$

And we want this probability:

$P(200 \leq X \leq 400) [tex]In order to find this probability we can use the foloowing excel code:"=BINOM.DIST(400,600,0.4,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(199,600,0.4,TRUE)"And we got:[tex] P(200 \leq X \leq 400) =0.999675[tex]But for this case the problem says that we need to approximate, so then we can use the normal approximation to the normal distribution. We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.
[tex]np=600*0.4=240\geq 10$
