Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  = a 30 day period

The first equation is 50 - 2x (because you start with $50 and subtract 2 for each 30 day period)

The second equation is 40-1.5x

Set them equal to each other:  50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5x

Solve for x:

50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5 x

    +2x         +2x

-----------------------

50 = 40 + 0.5 x

-40   -40

-------------------

10 = 0.5 x

20 = x

So there will be 20 30-day periods until the cards will be equal in value.

Check:  After 20 periods, 50 - 2(20) = $10 left

40 - 1.5(20) = also $10 left

Your manufacturing company sells metal nuts and bolts that come together in a package. The diameter of the bolts coming off the
Reil [10]

Answer:

The z score for bolt of diameter 18.12 mm is 1.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = diameter of bolts.

It is provided that the random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 18 mm and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 0.10 mm.

A <em>z</em>-score is a standardized score, a numerical, that defines how far a data value from the mean.

The distribution of <em>z</em>-scores is defined by the Standard Normal distribution.

Z\sim N(0, 1)

The formula to compute the <em>z</em>-score is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

The value of the diameter of a bolt is, <em>x</em> = 18.12 mm.

Compute the <em>z</em>-score for this value as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{18.12-18}{0.10}=\frac{0.12}{0.10}=1.20

Thus, the z score for bolt of diameter 18.12 mm is 1.20.

  All proportions have <u>this</u> <u>form</u>:

  \sf{\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}}, Where \sf{\dfrac{a}{b}} is equal to \sf{\dfrac{c}{d}}.

 If \sf{\dfrac{a}{b}\neq\dfrac{c}{d}}, it's <u>not</u> a proportion.

_________________________

  Here we have two pairs of numbers:

40,10 and 32,8.

Written As a <u>proportion</u>, they <em>look like</em> :

\sf{\dfrac{40}{10}=\dfrac{32}{8}}

Hope this made sense to you :)
