A grocery store will only accept yellow onions that are at least 2.75 in. In diameter. A grower has a crop of onions with diamet

ers that are normally distributed, with a mean diameter of 2.5 in. And a standard deviation of 0.25 in. What percent of the onions will be accepted by the grocery store?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate z-score firstly

z-score = (x-mean)/SD = (2.75-2.5)/0.25 = 0.25/0.25 = 1

P( x greater than or equal to 2.75) = P(z greater than or equal to 1)

= 1 - p(z <1)

P(z<1) from table = 0.84134

1-p(z<1) = 0.15866 or 15.866%

Nathan earns $1500 a week. Calculate his new weekly wage if he receives a pay rise of 20%
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$1800

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approanch

An easy way to calculate one's salary after they recive a raise is to, convert the percent that one's salary is increased into a decimal; divide the percent by 100. Then multiply the increase as a decimal by the original salary, to attain the amount the salary is raised by. Finally add the amount the salary is raised by to the original salary to find the new salary. A quicker way to do this is to convert the percent by the salary is increased into a decimal. Then add 1 to that number. Finally one will multiply that number by the original slary and get the new salary.

2. Solving

Original salary; 1500

Raise; 20%

<u>a. convert the raise as a percent into a decimal, then add 1</u>

20% = 0.2

0.2 + 1 = 1.2

<u>b. multiply the number by the original salary</u>

1.2 * 1500

1800

At a bake sale, as student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "b" be the price of 1 brownie and "c" the price of 1 cookie.

At a bake sale, a student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. Symbolicaly,

3 b + 5 c = 11.00   [1]

His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies. Symbolicaly,

1 b + 2 c = 3.95

b = 3.95 - 2c   [2]

If we replace [2] in [1], we get

3 (3.95 - 2c) + 5 c = 11.00

11.85 - 6c + 5c = 11.00

c = 0.85

If we replace c = 0.85 in [2], we get

b = 3.95 - 2 (0.85) = 2.25

From a piece of tin in the shape of a square 6 inches on a side, the largest possible circle is cut out. What is the ratio of th
wel

Answer:

\sf \dfrac{1}{4} \pi \quad or \quad \dfrac{7}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>width</u> of a square is its <u>side length</u>.

The <u>width</u> of a circle is its <u>diameter</u>.

Therefore, the largest possible circle that can be cut out from a square is a circle whose <u>diameter</u> is <u>equal in length</u> to the <u>side length</u> of the square.

<u>Formulas</u>

\sf \textsf{Area of a square}=s^2 \quad \textsf{(where s is the side length)}

\sf \textsf{Area of a circle}=\pi r^2 \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius)}

\sf \textsf{Radius of a circle}=\dfrac{1}{2}d \quad \textsf{(where d is the diameter)}

If the diameter is equal to the side length of the square, then:
\implies \sf r=\dfrac{1}{2}s

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Area\:of\:circle & = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s}{2}\right)^2\\& = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s^2}{4}\right)\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi s^2 \end{aligned}

So the ratio of the area of the circle to the original square is:

\begin{aligned}\textsf{area of circle} & :\textsf{area of square}\\\sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi s^2 & : \sf s^2\\\sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi & : 1\end{aligned}

Given:

  • side length (s) = 6 in
  • radius (r) = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 in

\implies \sf \textsf{Area of square}=6^2=36\:in^2

\implies \sf \textsf{Area of circle}=\pi \cdot 3^2=28\:in^2\:\:(nearest\:whole\:number)

Ratio of circle to square:

\implies \dfrac{28}{36}=\dfrac{7}{9}
