Paul is making bread using a recipe. The amount of flour he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. He uses 1114

cups of flour to make 5 loaves of bread. If Paul used 18 cups of flour, and then sold the loaves of bread he made at a bake sale for $2.50 each, how much money would Paul make from his bread sales?

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul is making bread using a recipe. The amount of flour he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. He uses 11 1/4 cups of flour to make 5 loaves of bread. If Paul used 18 cups of flour, and then sold the loaves of bread he made at a bake sale for $2.50 each, how much money would Paul make from his bread sales?

Step 1

Find out how many loaves of bread he can produce from 18 cups of flour

11 1/4 cups of flour = 5 loaves of bread

18 cups of flour = x loaves of bread

Cross Multiply

11 1/4 cups × x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves

x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves/ 11 1/4 cups

x loaves = 90 ÷ 11 1/4

x loaves = 90 ÷ 45/4

x loaves = 90 × 4/45

x loaves = 8 loaves of bread

He can produce 8 loaves of bread from 18 cups of flour.

Step 2

We are told that:

1 loaf of bread costs $2.50

Hence,

1 loaf of bread = $2.50

8 loaves of bread = $x

Cross Multiply

$x = 8 loaves of bread × $2.50

$x = $20

Therefore, Paul made $20 from his bread sales

99% of all confidence intervals with a 99% confidence level should contain the population parameter of interest. true or false
tester [92]

The statement that 99% of all confidence intervals with a 99% confidence level should contain the population parameter of interest is false.

A confidence interval (CI) is essentially a range of estimates for an unknown parameter in frequentist statistics. The most frequent confidence level is 95%, but other levels, such 90% or 99%, are infrequently used for generating confidence intervals.

The confidence level is a measurement of the proportion of long-term associated CIs that include the parameter's true value. This is closely related to the moment-based estimate approach.

In a straightforward illustration, when the population mean is the quantity that needs to be estimated, the sample mean is a straightforward estimate. The population variance can also be calculated using the sample variance. Using the sample mean and the true mean's probability.

Hence we can generally infer that the given statement is false.

Hey plsss help meeeeee

Answer:

The first, third, and fourth answer choices represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a relationship between sets of values. The two quantities that are being related to each other are the input (x-variable) and the output (y-variable). But relations in general aren't always a good way to relate between x and y.

Say that I have situation where I want to give <em>x </em>dollars to the cashier so he can change them to <em>y</em> quarters. Here is a "example" of the relation:

Dollars (x) | Quarters (y)            

----------------------------------              

       0       |          0                      

        1       |          4                      

       2       |          8

       2       |          12

Do you see something wrong here? Yes! We all know that you can't exchange 2 dollars for 12 quarters. You can only exchange 2 dollars for 8 quarters and only 8 quarters. This is a general reason why we don't rely on general relations for real-life situations. One x-variable does not exactly map to one and only one y-variable.

However, a relation that can map one x-variable to one and only one y-variable is known as a function. Let's make the above example an actual function to prove a point:

Dollars (x) | Quarters (y)            

----------------------------------              

       0       |          0                      

        1       |          4                      

       2       |          8

       3       |          12

Now, the 3 dollars make 12 quarters as it should. This is how a function should look like.

There are two ways to check if a relation is a function. On a relation, table, or a set of ordered pairs, you have to make sure there is no "x-variable" that repeats. All x-values of a relation have to be unique in order to be a function. On a graph, you can also perform the Vertical Line Test. If you draw vertical lines over a relation and if the lines cross only once, then it is a function. If not, it fails the Vertical Line Test.

So to answer you're question, the first, third, and fourth choices are functions because they all have unique x-variables. The second choice is not a function because it fails the Vertical Line Test.

The area of a parallelogram in which b = (3x + 5) ft and h = (7x - 1) ft
fgiga [73]
The area of a parallelogram is equal to the base multiplied by the height. So in this instance it would be (3x+5)*(7x-1). Foil out the binomials. 21x^2+35x-3x-5 Combine like terms. 21x^2+32x-5
The area is 21x^2+32x-5
