Two options are given to Tina. We find how much she pays for each option, and the one in which she pays less offers the better value.

Tina sends 12 text messages each day in June

June has 30 days, so in June, Tina sent 12*30 = 360 text messages.

Package A:

First 100 messages cost 3p, the next 100 cost $2 and after that each costs $1.

She sends 360 messages, with:

The first 100 costing 3p.

The next 100 costing 2p.

The final 360 - 200 = 160 costing 1p.

She pays:

100*3 + 100*2 + 160*1 = 660

Package B:

2p for each message, 360 messages, so:

360*2p = 720p.

Which package is better?

Package A costs less, thus, it offers her the better value for money in 30 days.

Another example of a problem in which a person has to choose between two packages is given in brainly.com/question/10693932

Halloween Candy Halloween is Kelly's favorite holiday of the year! Based on experience, Kelly knows that on average, each house

Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that there is an approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, for n instances of a normal variable, the mean is n\mu while the standard deviation is s = \sigma\sqrt{n}.

In this problem:

  • Mean of 4 candies, hence \mu = 4.
  • Standard deviation of 1.5 candies, hence \sigma = 1.5.
  • She visited 35 houses, hence n = 35, \mu = 35(4) = 140, s = 1.5\sqrt{4} = 3

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 122</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{122 - 140}{3}

Z = -6

Z = -6 has a p-value of 0.

Approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.

a scuba diver, who was 25 2/3 feet beneath the surface of the water, descended 5 1/2 feet. from this depth, how many feet must t
Effectus [21]

Answer:

31 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

add 25 2/3 to 5 1/2 to see how far under the surface he is; use common denominator of 6

25 4/6 + 5 3/6 = 30 7/6

30 7/6 is the same as 30 + 1 1/6 so diver must ascend 31 1/6 feet

Can you help me with this question?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

  16.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle internal to the triangle at B is the supplement of the one shown, so is 65°. That is equal to the angle internal to the triangle at D. Since the vertical angles at C are congruent, the two triangles are similar by the AA theorem.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, so we can write the proportion shown in the attachment:

  BC/FC = DC/AC

  BC = FC(DC/AC) = 21.6(7.2/9.6)

  BC = 16.2 . . . . matches the first choice
