Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let cost of apples = x

And cost of Oranges =y

Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Step 2

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Using substitution method to solve the equation

6 x + 3y= 24

24-6x=3y

y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x

Y= 8-2x

Substituting the value of y= 8-2x  into equation 2

5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23

5x+ 32 -8x= 23

32-23= 8x-5x

9=3x

x=9/3

x=3

Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y

6 x + 3y= 24

6(3) +3y= 24

18+3y=24

3y= 24-18

3y=6

y=6/3= 2

Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Computers from a certain manufacturer have a mean lifetime of 62 months, with a standard deviation of 12 months. The distributio
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Between 38 and 86 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

In this question:

Mean of 62, standard deviation of 12.

Between what two lifetimes does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantee that we will find at least approximately 75% of the computers?

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so:

62 - 2*12 = 38

62 + 2*12 = 86

Between 38 and 86 months.

I need help asap pls help me
Alchen [17]

Answer:

36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the length of the hypotenuse of the newly formed right triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem:

x=\sqrt{10^2+24^2}=\sqrt{100+576}=\sqrt{676}=26

Adding this to the 10 foot tall part of the tree that remains standing, you get an initial height of 26+10=36 feet. Hope this helps!
