Answer:

J = 370g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the weight of the Jar with J and the sugar with S

Initially, we have:

J + S = 850g

After 2/3 of sugar is removed we have:

J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g

Required

Determine the weight of the jar

J + S = 850g --- (1)

J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g --- (2)

Simplify (2)

J + S -\frac{2S}{3}= 530g

Take LCM

J + \frac{3S - 2S}{3}= 530g

J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g

Make S the subject in (1)

J + S = 850g

S = 850g - J

Substitute 850g - J for S in J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g

J + \frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g

Multiply through by 3

3 * J + 3*\frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g * 3

3J + 850g - J= 1590g

Collect Like Terms

3J  - J= 1590g-850g

2J= 740g

Make J the subject

J = \frac{1}{2} * 740g

J = 370g

<em>The jar weighs 370g</em>

What is the range of F(x)=72x-x^2
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Range of F(x) = (-∞ ,72).

Step-by-step explanation:

Range of the function F(x) means the set of values which are taken by the function along its domain.

F(x) = 72 - x^{2}

Since coefficient of x^{2} is negative on the right side ,

Maximum value of F(x) will come at x = 0.

Which is, F(0) = 72.

Now, as x increases , F(x) decreases , when x will reach infinity ,

F(x) will be reaching negative of infinity .

Thus, F(x) is ranging from -∞ to 72 .

Range of F(x) = (-∞ ,72).

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Considering that the value of 126.07 is valid for the population, it is a parameter.

<h3>What is the difference between a statistic and a parameter?</h3>

  • If the measure is defined only for the sample, it is a statistic.
  • If the measure can be defined for the population, it is a parameter.

In this problem, the mean blood pressure is calculated for all employees, which means that it is valid for the population, hence it is a parameter.
