Questions (contd)

(a) For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same?

(b) What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?

Answer:

(a) 100 miles

(b) $65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Plan 1:

Initial\ Fee = \$57

Additional = \$0.08 per mile

Plan 2:

Initial\ Fee = \$50

Additional = \$0.10 per mile

Solving (a): Number of miles when both plans are equal

Represent the distance with x and the cost with y

So:

Plan 1:

y = 57 + 0.08 * x

Plan 2:

y = 50 + 0.10 * x

To solve (a), we equate both plans together; i.e.

y = y

57 + 0.08x = 50 + 0.10x

Collect Like Terms

0.08x - 0.10x= 50 - 57

-0.02x= -2

Solve for x

x = -2/-0.02

x = 100

Hence, 100 mile would cost both plans the same

Solving (b): Cost when both plans are the same:

In this case, we simply substitute 100 for x in any of the y equation.

y = 57 + 0.08 * x

y = 57 + 0.08 * 100

y = 57 + 8

y = 65

<em>Hence, the amount is $65</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the percent to a decimal.

4% = 0.04

Multiply his income by the percentage to find the tax.

$1,867 × 0.04 = $74.68

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 <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag.

The mean is, <em>μ</em> = 72 and the standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = 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 <em>z</em>-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%.

Help!<br> Which answer is correct?
Luda [366]

Well, since the graph starts at (0,50), making our y-intercept 50, we can knock off D as an option.

The next step is to find the slope. To do this, find two points and subtract the y values over the x values. (Just make sure that whichever y value you start with - start with the same x value).

So we have >>> (50, 200) and (0,50) from earlier.

200 - 50 / 50 - 0 = 150/50 or 3/1, or 3.

This makes the correct answer A since the equation is represented as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and m has a value of 3.
