yeet


first brand quantity is x

2nd brand quantity is y


x+y=30

0.3x+0.55y=0.35(30) or 0.3x+0.55y=10.5

solve for x and y

multiply first equation  by -0.3

-0.3x-0.3y=-9

add to 2nd equation


0.3x-0.3y=-9

<u>0.3x+0.55y=10.5 +</u>

0x+0.25y=1.5


0.25y=1.5

divide both sides by 0.25

y=6

sub back

x+y=30

x+6=30

x=24


you need 24 gallons of the first brand and 6 gallons of the 2nd brand

Answer: First Brand = 24 gallons, Second Brand = 6 gallons

<u>Explanation:</u>

                          Quantity         %           Qty (%)

First Brand              x              0.30          0.30x

Second Brand  <u>   30 - x   </u>     <u>  0.55  </u>        <u>0.55(30 - x) </u>= 16.5 - 0.55x

              Total       30        *    0.35     =     0.30x + 16.5 - 0.55x

                                            30(0.35)  =    16.5 - 0.25x

                                                10.5      =    16.5 - 0.25x

                                                -6.0      =            - 0.25x

                                                  24      =                      x

Second Brand: 30 - x   = 30 - 24   = 6

A coin, having probability p of landing heads, is continually flipped until at least one head and one tail have been flipped. (a
Natali [406]

Answer:

(a)

The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

                                   p^4 (1-p)  + (1-p)^4 p

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1}  = 1/p

Therefore, suppose that  p = 0.5, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5  = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Case 1

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

p^4 (1-p)

Case 2

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(1-p)^4p

Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

                                    p^4 (1-p)  + (1-p)^4 p

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1}  = 1/p

Therefore, suppose that  p = 0.5, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5  = 2.

A manufacturer of golf equipment wishes to estimate the number of left-handed golfers. A previous study indicates that the propo
never [62]

Answer:

A sample of 997 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.

This means that \pi = 0.08

98% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.02, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99, so Z = 2.327.  

How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{n}}

0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02})^2

n = 996.3

Rounding up:

A sample of 997 is needed.

If m &lt; A = 4x + 12 and x = 15, is &lt; A acute, obtuse, or right? Justify your answer.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A = 4x + 12 = 4(15) + 12 = 72°.

Acute is for angles that are less than 90°.

Obtuse is for angles that are between 90° and 180°, not inclusive.

Right is for angles that are 90°

Hence the answer is acute.

what is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point ( -1,,-4) has a slop of a -3​
Vesnalui [34]
The answer has to resemble y=Mx+b so to find your y intercept plug in your coordinates into that equation so put your slope in for m and your x intercept in for x and the y intercept in for y so -4= -3(-1)+b now get b alone -1=b so your equation would be y=-3x-1
