Answer: 25 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

EQUATIONS:

quantity: n + d = 63

value: 5n + 10d = 505

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

Divide thru the 2nd equation by 5 to get:

n + 2d = 101

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

Subtract that from the 1st equation:

-d = -38

d = 38 (# of dimes)

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

Substitute that into n+d=63 to solve for "n":

n + 38 = 63

n = 25 (# of nickels)

Together teammates pedro and ricky got 2685 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more than ricky. How many hits did each player

Ksju [112]

Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.

The equation y= -5.131x^2 + 31.821x - 3.333 approximates the number of people standing in line to catch a commuter train x hours

GREYUIT [131]

The answer should be D since after 5 am to 7 am only two hours have passed so x=2, and then you plug in the x as 2 and solve it. You might get not around answer like 39.785 but when you round it, it would be 40.

A researcher was testing the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag of 100 kernels after being cooked for the s

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag.

The mean is, μ = 72 and the standard deviation is, σ = 12.

Assume that the population of the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag follows a Normal distribution.

Compute the probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

$P( X\geq 96)=P( X>96+0.50)$

$=P( X>96.50)\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{96.50-72}{12})\\=P(Z>2.04)\\=1-P(Z$

*Use a z-table.

The probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more is 0.021.

The percentage is, 0.021 × 100 = 2.1%.

Thus, the percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.
