Answer:

Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

total junk = 55 pounds

Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound

Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound

Total value= $ 77.60

Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.

Total cost

77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28

77.60 =  1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p

7.2 = 0.32 p

p = 22.5 pounds

So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

X^2-7x-34=10<br><br> Please help me answer this question thank you
elena-s [515]

Answer: x = 4,11

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 7x - 34 - 10 = 0

x^2 - 7x - 44 = 0

Factorise it

x^2 - 11x - 4x - 44 = 0

x ( x - 11 ) - 4 ( x - 11 ) = 0

(x-4)(x-11) = 0

x = 4,11

What is the slope of the graph?
VMariaS [17]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that an aquarium is being filled with water.

The given graph shows the height of the water over time as the aquarium is being filled.

We need to determine the slope of the graph.

<u>Slope</u>:

The slope of the given graph can be determined using the formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Since, the slope is same for all the points on the straight line, then let us consider the points (2,5) and (4,10)

Substituting these points in the above formula, we get;

m=\frac{10-5}{4-2}

Simplifying, we get;

m=\frac{5}{2}

m=2.5

Thus, the slope of the given graph is 2.5

Math scores on the SAT exam are normally distributed with a mean of 514 and a standard deviation of 118. If a recent test-taker
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is 0.38292.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Math scores on the SAT exam are normally distributed with a mean of 514 and a standard deviation of 118.

<u><em>Let X = Math scores on the SAT exam</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=514,\sigma^{2} =118^{2})

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                              Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~  N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean score = 514

           \sigma = standard deviation = 118

Now, the probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is given by = P(455 < X < 573)

       P(455 < X < 573) = P(X < 573) - P(X \leq 455)

       P(X < 573) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{573-514}{118} ) = P(Z < 0.50) = 0.69146

       P(X \leq 2.9) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{455-514}{118} ) = P(Z \leq -0.50) = 1 - P(Z < 0.50)

                                                         = 1 - 0.69146 = 0.30854

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.50 in the z table which has an area of 0.69146.</em>

Therefore, P(455 < X < 573) = 0.69146 - 0.30854 = <u>0.38292</u>

Hence, probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is 0.38292.
