Answer:

60 oz of water to add

45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amt no. ounces in the first solution

and  105 - x = amt no. of ounces in the second solution

Ist solution contains 0% salt

2nd solution contains .35(105 - x) salt

.15(105= amt of salt in mix

So.

amt of salt in 1st solution + amt of salt in 2nd solution = amt of salt in the mix

0 + .35(105 - x) = .15(105)

Let's get rid of the fractions by multipying thru the equation by 100

35(105 - x) = 15(105)

3675 - 35x = 1575

-35x = -2100

x = 60 oz of water to add

105 - 60 = 45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used

Here are the steps

1: Put the compass on Q and make the width equal to the distance from Q to L. Extend line LM towards the left side of L and draw an arc hitting the line segment on the left side of L

2. <span> Without changing the width and position of the compass, draw an arc between L and M.

3. Without changing the width of the compass, put the compass on the point of intersection of the arc and line LM (left side of L). Draw an arc above line LM.

4. Without changing the width of the compass, put the compass on the point of intersection of the arc and line LM (right side of L). Draw an arc above line LM.

5. Use a straight edge to make a line from the intersection of the two arcs above line LM to Q intersecting through L along the way. </span>

The SAT is standardized to be normally distributed with a mean µ = 500 and a standard deviation σ = 100. What percentage of SAT
Aliun [14]

Answer:

34.134%

68.268%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (m) = 500

Standard deviation (s) = 100

Percentage between 500 and 600

P(500 < x < 600)

P(x < 600) - P(x < 500)

Z = (x - m) / s

P(x < 600)

Z = (600 - 500) /100 = 1

P(x < 500)

Z = (500 - 500) / 500 = 0

P(Z< 1) - P(Z < 0)

0.84134 - 0.5

= 0.34134

= 0.34134 * 100%

= 34.134%

B.) Between 400 and 600

P(x < 400)

Z = (400 - 500) /100 = - 1

P(x < 600)

Z = (600 - 500) / 500 = 1

P(Z< 1 ) - P(Z < - 1)

0.84134 - 0.15866

= 0.68268

= 0.68268 * 100%

= 68.268%
