Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to figure out what 1/4th of 640 is, which is 160.

It says that number is 1/6th of boys, so you multiply by the inverse.

160x6 = 960

well since all of the girls = 4/6ths of the boys that would mean 24/24girls=16/24boys  

16/24 is 66.666666666667% of 24/24

66.666666666667% of 640 is426.666666667 but in my head i would round up so:

Approximately

427 boys and 213 girls.

A car dealership has found that the length of time before a major repair is required on the new cars it sells is normally distri
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest in this case is:

X: length of time before a major repair is required on a new car. (months)

This variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 36 months and a standard deviation σ= 9 months.

If he wants to set a guarantee period in which only 5% of the sold cars fell, the objective is to find the value of X that has below 5% of the cars that need major repairs before the end of the guarantee period.

Check the attachment, the curve represents the distribution of the population of the time it takes before a new car needs major repairs, I've marked approximately where this value of X should be.

Symbolically:

P(X≤a)=0.05

To reach the proper value of "a" you have to work using the standard normal distribution because is a tabulated distribution and you can extrapolate it to any normal distribution.

Z= \frac{X-Mu}{Sigma}~N(0;1)

So the first step is to look in the table of the Z distribution for the value that accumulates 0.05 of probability since it is such a low probability, you have to look for the value in the left side of the table (negative values of Z). You look for 0.05 in the body of the table and then the margins for the corresponding value (see second attachment)

Z_{0.05}= -1.64

Then the value that accumulates 0.05 of probability is -1.64, now you have to reverse the standardization to reach the asked value of X

Z= (a- μ)/σ

(Z*σ)= a - μ

a=(Z*σ)+ μ

a=(-1.64*9)+36

a= 21.24 months.

The guarantee period should be 21.24 months so that only 5% of the sold cars will need major repairs before it wears of.

I hope it helps!

Fermium-253 has a half life of three days. A sample contains 400 g. How long will it take for the sample to decay to 100 g?
NemiM [27]
After the first three days, the sample size will be half of the initial; therefore, 400g/2= 200g. However, it is asking how long will it take to decay to 100g, so we will take 200g/2= 100g, which will take another three days.  It will take 2 half-lives, which will encompass 6 days.

Given two vectors A=2i+3j+4k,B=i-2j+3k find the magnitude and direction of sum<br>(physics question)
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Magnitude =\sqrt{59} \\\\Direction \: of \: \overrightarrow{A + B} = \frac{3}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{1}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{7}{\sqrt {59}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2i+3j+4k

B=i-2j+3k

Sum of the vectors:

A + B = 2i+3j+4k + i-2j+3k = 3i + j + 7k

Magnitude =\sqrt{3^2 + 1^2+ 7^2} \\\\Magnitude =\sqrt{9+1+49} \\\\Magnitude =\sqrt{59}

Direction of the sum of the vectors:

\widehat{A + B} =\frac{\overrightarrow{A + B}}{Magnitude\: of \:\overrightarrow{A + B}} \\\\\widehat{A + B} =\frac{3i + j + 7k}{\sqrt {59}} \\\\\widehat{A + B} =\frac{3}{\sqrt {59}} i +\frac{1}{\sqrt {59}} j+\frac{7}{\sqrt {59}} k\\\\Direction \: of \: \overrightarrow{A + B} = \frac{3}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{1}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{7}{\sqrt {59}} \\\\
