Answer:
18.95
Step-by-step explanation:
ln 2 x ln (4x) = 3
ln 4x = = 3 / ln 2
ln4x = 3 / 0.69315 = 4.3281
4x = e^4.328 = 75.80
x = 18.95.
Answer: 100
5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The mean of a normal distribution is also the median. Half the population will have values above the mean. Half of 200 is 100, so ...
... 100 students will have grades above 70%.
b) 84% is 14% above the mean. Each 7% is 1 standard deviation, so 14% is 2 standard deviations above the mean. The empirical rule tells you 95% of the population is within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so about 5% of students (10 students) got grades higher than 84% or lower than 56%. The normal distribution is symmetrical, so we expect about 5 students in each range.
... about 5 students will have grades above 84%.
We want 10% = 0.1 = $10
Then to work out 100% we divide $10 by 0.1
$10/0.1 = $100
Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.
_____
<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
