Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 128

Mean, μ = 18

Standard deviation, σ = 5.4

Number of people who lost atleast 15 pounds :

The Zscore = (x - μ) / (σ)

Zscore = (15 - 18) / 5.4

Zscore = - 3 / 5.4

Zscore = - 0.5555

P(Z < - 0.555) = 0.28945

Number of people who lost atleast 15 pounds :

0.28945 * 128 = 37.0496

= 37 people

Oil is pumped into a tank at a rate of Q(t)=45-t gallons per minute where time is t is measured in minutes how many gallons are
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Pumping rate is modeled by the equation :

Q(t)=45-t gallons per minute ; where t is in minutes

Number of gallons in tank after 30 minutes ;

Q(t)=45-t

Q(30) = 45 - 30

Q(30) = 15

Hence, Number of gallons in tank after 30 minutes is 15 gallons

A store manager wants to determine how much to pay her employees. The number of hours the employees work is x, and the hourly wa
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

<em>The employees will work for 1 hour, will earn $5 per hour and will be paid $5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

The number of hours the employees work is x.

And the hourly wage that they are paid is y. The store manager is willing to pay the employees a wage given by the equation

10y-30x=20

The business owner states that the employees should be paid a wage given by the equation

6y+30x=60

Adding both equations we have:

16y = 80

Dividing by 16:

y = 80/16 = 5

Substituting into the first equation:

10*5-30x=20

Operating and simplifying:

50-30x=20

50 - 20 = 30x

30x = 30

x = 30/30 = 1

Thus, the employees will work for 1 hour, will earn $5 per hour and will be paid $5

What is the solution to the system of equations?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's your given:

y = 4x - 10

y = 2

Because they both equal y, that means they equal each other:

2 = 4x - 10

Add 10 on both sides:

12 = 4x

Then, divide 4 on both sides:

3 = x

This represents the x coordinate.

Normally you would put this value into one of the equations to figure out y, but they already gave us that in the beginning:

y = 2

This represents the y coordinate.

Put the two values together to get: (3,2)
