Andrea brought $54.00 to the art supply store. She bought a brush, a sketchbook, and a paint set. The brush was one-sixths as mu

ch as the sketchbook, and the sketchbook cost three-fourths the cost of the paint set. Andrea had $1.50 left over after buying these items.

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, I'm assuming you want to know the price of all items purchased by Andrea.

Let's gather all the data.

Andrea has initially 54$. From that she got a Brush (B), a sketchbook (S) and a paint set (P). At the end, she has a left over of 1.5$, so she actually spends 52.5$, and our first equation would be:

B + S + P = 52.5  (1)

Now, the B cost 1/6 as the S, and S was 3/4 the paint set, so oru equations here would be:

B = 1/6S (2)

S = 3/4P (3)

Now, according to this we can write the (1) expression in function of (2) and (3).

Replacing (3) in (2):

B = 1/6 (3/4P)

B = 3/24P

B = 1/8P  (4)

And replacing (3) and(4) in (1) we have:

1/8P + 3/4P + P = 52.5

From here we can solve for P:

15/8P = 52.5

P = 52.5 * 8 / 15

<em>P = 28.16$</em>

Now we can replace this value to get the Sketchbook, and then, the brush:

S = 3/4 * 28.16

<em>S = 21.12$</em>

B = 1/6 * 21.12

<em>B = 3.52$</em>

These values would be the price of all items.

A vector with magnitude 9 points in a direction 190 degrees counterclockwise from the positive x axis. Write in component form
Over [174]

Answer:

\vec{v}= \text{ or } \approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Component form of a vector is given by \vec{v}=, where i represents change in x-value and j represents change in y-value. The magnitude of a vector is correlated the Pythagorean Theorem. For vector \vec{v}=, the magnitude is ||v||=\sqrt{i^2+j^2.

190 degrees counterclockwise from the positive x-axis is 10 degrees below the negative x-axis. We can then draw a right triangle 10 degrees below the horizontal with one leg being i, one leg being j, and the hypotenuse of the triangle being the magnitude of the vector, which is given as 9.

In any right triangle, the sine/sin of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse, or longest side, of the triangle.

Therefore, we have:

\sin 10^{\circ}=\frac{j}{9},\\j=9\sin 10^{\circ}

To find the other leg, i, we can also use basic trigonometry for a right triangle. In right triangles only, the cosine/cos of an angle is equal to its adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle. We get:

\cos 10^{\circ}=\frac{i}{9},\\i=9\cos 10^{\circ}

Verify that (9\sin 10^{\circ})^2+(9\cos 10^{\circ})^2=9^2\:\checkmark

Therefore, the component form of this vector is \vec{v}=\boxed{}\approx \boxed{}

The weight of an adult swan is normally distributed with a mean of 26 pounds and a standard deviation of 7.2 pounds. A farmer ra
Snezhnost [94]
Let X denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by X_1,\ldots,X_{36}, each independently and identically distributed with distribution X_i\sim\mathcal N(26,7.2).

You want to find

\mathbb P(X_1+\cdots+X_{36}>1000)=\mathbb P\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}X_i>1000\right)

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

\mathbb P\left(36\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}\frac{X_i}{36}>1000\right)=\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)

Recall that if X\sim\mathcal N(\mu,\sigma), then the sampling distribution \overline X=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{X_i}n\sim\mathcal N\left(\mu,\dfrac\sigma{\sqrt n}\right) with n being the size of the sample.

Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

Z=\dfrac{\overline X-\mu_{\overline X}}{\sigma_{\overline X}}=\sqrt n\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\sigma}

so that in this case,

Z=6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}

and the probability is equivalent to

\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)=\mathbb P\left(6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}>6\dfrac{\frac{1000}{36}-26}{7.2}\right)
=\mathbb P(Z>1.481)\approx0.0693

kherson [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First mix: 4 pints red and 3 pints white = 7 pints in 4:3 ratio.

Second mix: 5 pints red and 2 pints white = 7 pints in 5:2 ratio

Second music is redder than first mix.
