A 14 foot is cut into two pieces so that one piece is 3 feet longer than twice the shorter piece

To answer the question above, let x be the shorter one of the pieces. With the variable, we can express the longer piece as 2x + 3. Based on the given, the sum of the lengths of these pieces should sum up to 14 ft. 

                                        2x + 3 + x = 14 ft, x = 3 2/3 ft

Substituting this value for the longer piece, we get 10 1/3 ft. Thus, the lengths of the pieces are 3 2/3 ft and 10 1/3 ft.

A company policy requires that for every 30 employees, there must be 3 supervisors. If there are 267 supervisors at the company,
Alexus [3.1K]

267 supervisors will have 2670 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of employees.

Given,

3 supervisors = 30 employees

1 supervisor = \frac{30}{3}

1 supervisor = 10 employees

As one supervisor has 10 employees, 267 supervisors will have;

x = 267*10

x= 2670 employees

267 supervisors will have 2670 employees.

I WILL GIVE U BRAINLYIEST!! and give U EXTRA POINTS PLZ PLZ PLZ
suter [353]

Answer:

A = P(1 + rt) \\by \: cross \: multiplication \:  \\  P =  \frac{A }{(1 + rt)}  \\ by \: distributing \: P \\ A = P + Prt \\ A  -  P = Prt \\ r =  \frac{A  -  P}{Pt}  \\ it \: follows \: that \: \\  t =  \frac{A  -  P}{Pr}

suppose that r = 50%=0.5,

t =10 years and P= 100, find A?

A=100(1+(0.5)(10))=600

suppose t =10 yrs, r=50%, A=600, find P?

P=600/((1+(0.5)(10))=100

suppose t =10 yrs, r=50%, A=600, P= 100 find r?

r= (600-100)/100(10)=500/1000=0.5=50%

suppose r=50%, A=600, P= 100 find t?

t= (600-100)/100(0.5)=500/50=10 yrs

4x+3y=12
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

B, C, F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}4x+3y=12\\ \\2x+3y=-6\end{array}\right.

Subtract the second equation from the first equation:

(4x+3y)-(2x+3y)=12-(-6)\\ \\4x+3y-2x-3y=12+6\\ \\2x=18\\ \\x=9

Option B "The x coordinate of the solution is 9" is ture

Substitute it into the first equation:

4\cdot 9+3y=12\\ \\36+3y=12\\ \\3y=12-36\\ \\3y=-24\\ \\y=-8

Option F "The y coordinate of the solution is -8" is true.

Point (9,-8) is in the IV quadrant, so option C is true.

Consider the probability that at most 85 out of 136 DVDs will work correctly. Assume the probability that a given DVD will work
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Since both np \geq 10 and n(1-p) \geq 10, the necessary conditions are satisfied.

0.9945 = 99.45% probability that at most 85 out of 136 DVDs will work correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the normal curve can be used as an approximation to the binomial probability by verifying the necessary conditions.

It is needed that:

np \geq 10 and n(1-p) \geq 10

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

Assume the probability that a given DVD will work correctly is 52%.

This means that p = 0.52

136 DVDs

This means that n = 136

Test the conditions:

np = 136*0.52 = 70.72 \geq 10

n(1-p) = 136*0.48 = 65.28 \geq 10

Since both np \geq 10 and n(1-p) \geq 10, the necessary conditions are satisfied.

Mean and standard deviation:

\mu = E(X) = np = 136*0.52 = 70.72

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{136*0.52*0.48} = 5.83

Consider the probability that at most 85 out of 136 DVDs will work correctly.

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \leq 85 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 85.5), which is the p-value of Z when X = 85.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{85.5 - 70.72}{5.83}

Z = 2.54

Z = 2.54 has a p-value of 0.9945.

0.9945 = 99.45% probability that at most 85 out of 136 DVDs will work correctly.
