Answer:

(a)

3b + 4g =10.25

2b + 2g = 5.50

(b)

1 pound of banana = $0.75

1 pound of grape = $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent banana with b and grapes with g.

From the first statement, we have:

3b + 4g =10.25

From the second, we have:

2b + 2g = 5.50

Solving (a): The equations

This has been solved above.

The equations are:

3b + 4g =10.25

2b + 2g = 5.50

Solving (b):

3b + 4g =10.25 --- (1)

2b + 2g = 5.50 --- (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

2b + 2g = 5.50 * 2

4b + 4g = 11 ----- (3)

Subtract (3) from (1)

3b - 4b + 4g - 4g = 10.25 - 11

-b  =-0.75

b  =0.75

Substitute 0.75 for b in (2)

2b + 2g = 5.50

2 *0.75 + 2g = 5.5

1.5 + 2g = 5.5

Collect Like Terms

2g = 5.5 - 1.5

2g = 4

g = 2

Assume that the empirical rule is a good model for the time it takes for all passengers to board an airplane. The mean time is 4
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The interval that describes how long it takes for passengers to board the middle 95% of the time is between 40.16 minutes and 55.84 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 48, \sigma = 4.

Which interval describes how long it takes for passengers to board the middle 95% of the time?

This is between the 2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile.

So this interval is the value of X when Z has a a pvalue of 0.025 and the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.975

Lower Limit

Z has a pvalue of 0.025 when Z = -1.96. So

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

-1.96 = \frac{X - 48}{4}

X - 48 = -1.96*4

X = 40.16

Upper Limit

Z has a pvalue of 0.975 when Z = 1.96. So

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

1.96 = \frac{X - 48}{4}

X - 48 = 1.96*4

X = 55.84

The interval that describes how long it takes for passengers to board the middle 95% of the time is between 40.16 minutes and 55.84 minutes.
