X = the number of humans and y = the number of horses.

x+y=74
2x+4y=196

Because the number of humans and horses together is 74, and the total number of legs (2 per every human, x, and 4 per every horse, y) is 196.  Then, just use elimination to solve.

-2(x+y=74)\\2x+4y=196\\\\-2x-2y=-148\\2x+4y=196\\\\2y=48\\y=24

So, now that you have y, you can plug it into the first equation to find x:

x+y=74\\x+24=74\\x=50

So, x = 50 and y = 24, so there are 50 humans and 24 horses.
The correct answer is B.

Suppose compact fluorescent light bulbs last, on average, 11,500 hours. The distribution is normal and the standard deviation is
juin [17]

Answer:

2.275%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

from the question, x = 12,300 hours , mean = 11,500 hours while Standard deviation(SD) = 400 hours

Plugging the values we have;

z-score = (12,300-11,500)/400 = 800/400 = 2

Now, we want to calculate P(z ≤ 2)

This is so because we are calculating within a particular value

To calculate this, we use the z-score table.

Mathematically;

P(z ≤ 2) = 1 - P(z > 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275

To percentage = 2.275%

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

AB = 8/ cos 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the hypotenuse AB

Since we have a right triangle

cos theta = adj/ hyp

cos 60 =  8/ AB

AB cos 60 = 8

AB = 8/ cos 60
