Answer:

Push- ups on last day = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

According to given conditions:

Let push-ups on:

1st day = x

2nd day = x + 5

3rd day = x + 10

4th day = x + 15

5th day = x + 20

6th day = x + 25

7th day = x + 30

Now total push ups = adding all

x + x + 5 + x + 10 + x + 15 + x + 20 + x+ 25 + 30 + x = 175

By adding same terms:

7x + 105 = 175

Subtracting 105 from both sides

7x + 105 - 105 = 175 - 105

7x = 70

Dividing both sides by 7 we get:

x = 70/7

x = 10

Now calculating push-ups on days:

1st day = x = 10

2nd day = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

3rd day = x + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20

4th day = x + 15 = 10 + 15 = 25

5th day = x + 20 = 10 + 20 = 30

6th day = x + 25 = 10 + 25 = 35

7th day = x + 30 = 10 + 30 = 40

So number of push-ups on 7th (last) day is 40.

I hope it will help you!

Find the indicated probability. The weekly salaries of teachers in one state are normally distributed with a mean of $490 and a
Alecsey [184]

Given Information:

Mean weekly salary = μ = $490

Standard deviation of weekly salary = σ = $45

Required Information:

P(X > $525) = ?

Answer:

P(X > $525) = 21.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out the probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $525 a week.

P(X > 525) = 1 - P(X < 525)\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{525 - 490}{45} )\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{35}{45} )\\\\P(X > 525) = 1 - P(Z < 0.78)\\\\

The z-score corresponding to 0.78 from the z-table is 0.7823

P(X > 525) = 1 - 0.7823\\\\P(X > 525) = 0.2177\\\\P(X > 525) = 21.77 \%

Therefore, there is 21.77% probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $525 a week.

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 0.7, 2.2, 1.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 0.78 then go for 0.08 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.

Strike441 [17]
The whole number of minutes that Gianna complete each week as a function of x and y:
45x+30y
Since the above number is greater than 450 minutes, we get the inequality:
45x+30y\geq450
Also, "she can complete at most 10 workouts this week" so we deduce the inequality:
\\x+y\leq10
Therefore, the system of inequalities is the following:
45x+30y\geq450
\\x+y\leq10
The above system has many solutions, for example :
