Given: 11-pound mixture of peanuts, almonds, and raisins
Cost:
peanuts - 1.5 per pound
almonds - 3 per pound
raisins - 1.5 per pound
mixture:
twice as many peanuts as almond; total cost of mixture is 21.
a + p + r = 11 lbs
a + 2a + r = 11 lbs
3a + r = 11
r = 11 - 3a
1.5(2a) + 3a + 1.5r = 21
3a + 3a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5(11-3a) = 21
6a + 16.5 - 4.5a = 21
6a - 4.5a = 21 - 16.5
1.5a = 4.5
1.5a/1.5 = 4.5/1.5
a = 3
almonds = 3 lbs
peanuts = 2a = 2(3) = 6lbs
raisins = 11 - 3a = 11 - 3(3) = 11 - 9 = 2 lbs
<span>My answer is: C. 6 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs almonds, 2 lbs raisins </span>
Answer:
(-13,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 0.1091
b) 0.9994
c) 0.5886
Step-by-step explanation:
X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours
x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20
X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)
P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)
=
=0.1091
Similarly we can find out
P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994
P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886
Answer:
(x/3) - 5
