Answer:

251

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Mean length of fish = μ= 73 cm

SD σ =8 c m

Number of fish having a length greater than 57 cm out of 480.

Find the value of z at x = 57

$z= \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{57-73}{8}\\=\frac{-16}{8} = -2$

Area between z = − 2 and z = ∞

= Area between z = − 1 and z = 0 +

Area between z = 0 and z = ∞

=0.02275+0.5= 0.52275

Therefore number of fish having teeth greater than 57 cm

= 0.52275*480 = 5.2275*48 = 250.92 ≅251

a chef is going to use a mixture of two brands of Italian dressing. The first brand contains 5% vinegar and the second Brian con

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

273 mL of 5%
117 mL of 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...

0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)

0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify

q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

390-q = 273

The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.

If f(1) = 10 and f(n) = f(n = 1) – 4 then find the value of f(5).

svetoff [14.1K]

Given:

$f(1)=10$ and $f(n)=f(n-1)-4$ .

To find:

The value of f(5).

Solution:

We have,

$f(n)=f(n-1)-4$

For $n=2$ ,

$f(2)=f(2-1)-4$

$f(2)=f(1)-4$

$f(2)=10-4$

$f(2)=6$

For $n=3$ ,

$f(3)=f(3-1)-4$

$f(3)=f(2)-4$

$f(3)=6-4$

$f(3)=2$

For $n=4$ ,

$f(4)=f(4-1)-4$

$f(4)=f(3)-4$

$f(4)=2-4$

$f(4)=-2$

For $n=5$ ,

$f(5)=f(5-1)-4$

$f(5)=f(4)-4$

$f(5)=-2-4$

$f(5)=-6$

Therefore, the value of $f(5)$ is $-6$ .
