Answer:

Mean = \mu = 1140

Standard deviation = \sigma = 80

Find the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries.

A)The average is between 1128 and 1140.

We are supposed to fidn P(1128<x<1140)

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

At x = 1128

Z=\frac{1128-1140}{80}

Z=-0.15

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<1128)=0.4404

At x = 1140

Z=\frac{1140-1140}{80}

Z=0

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<1140)=0.5

So,P(1128<x<1140)=P(x<1140)-P(x<1128)=0.5-0.4404=0.0596

Hence the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries  is between 1128 and 1140 is 0.0596

B)The average is greater than 1152.

P(x>1152)

At x = 1128

Z=\frac{1152-1140}{80}

Z=0.15

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<1152)=0.5596

So,P(x>1152)=1-P(x<1152)=1-0.5596=0.4404

Hence the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries is greater than 1152 is 0.4404

C) The average is less than 940.

P(x<940)

At x = 940

Z=\frac{940-1140}{80}

Z=-2.5

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<940)=0.5596

Hence the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries is less than 940 is 0.5596

A taxi driver wrote a formula to represent the mileage and fee for his last customer. He wrote the equation 3.00 + 0.50 m = 9.50
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.

Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the equation given:

3.00 + 0.50 m = 9.50

Where m is the number of miles.

The equation states that the fixed fee charged (3.00) plus the product of the value of each mile traveled (0.50) and the number of miles traveled (m); is equal to 9.50.

So, the correct statements are:

  • The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
  • Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A piggy bank contains pennies, nickels, and dimes. The number of dimes is 15 more than the number of nickels, and there are 140
amm1812

Answer:

Option D is correct.

There are 34 nickels in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

A piggy bank contains pennies, nickels and dimes.

Let the number of pennies be p

Let the number of nickels be n

Let the number of dimes be d

Also, note that 1 penny = $0.01

1 nickel = $0.05

1 dime = $0.10

- The number of dimes is 15 more than the number of nickels.

d = 15 + n

- There are 140 coins altogether totaling $7.17.

p + n + d = 140

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

Bringing the 3 equations together

d = 15 + n (eqn 1)

p + n + d = 140 (eqn 2)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17 (eqn 3)

Substitute (eqn 1) into (eqn 2)

p + n + d = 140

p + n + (15 + n) = 140

p + 2n + 15 = 140

p = 140 - 15 - 2n = 125 - 2n

p = 125 - 2n (eqn 4)

Substitute (eqn 1) and (eqn 4) into (eqn 3)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

0.01(125 - 2n) + 0.05n + 0.1(15 + n) = 71.7

1.25 - 0.02n + 0.05n + 1.5 + 0.1n = 7.17

0.1n + 0.05n - 0.02n + 1.5 + 1.25 = 7.17

0.13n + 2.75 = 7.17

0.13n = 7.17 - 2.75 = 4.42

0.13n = 4.42

n = (4.42/0.13) = 34

d = 15 + n = 15 + 34 = 49

p = 125 -2n = 125 - (2×34) = 125 - 68 = 57

Hence, there are 57 pennies, 34 nickels and 49 dimes in the piggy bank.

Hope this Helps!!!

A sum of money is divided in the ratio of 3:5:9. Calculate the smallest share given that the largest share is 54
Sergeu [11.5K]
The ratio of largest to smallest share is 9:3, so that the largest share is 3 times that of the smallest share. If the largest share is 54, 54/3=18. 

Hope this helps!
