A family has two cats named Gordo and Flaco. Gordo weighs 15 pounds and Flaco weighs 8 pounds. A cat’s weight is classified as u
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes Gordo unhealthy.

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = mean weight = 9.5 pounds

σ = standard deviation = 1.5 pounds

This is a normal distribution problem

We first calculate the limit of the bottom 5% of weights

Let the z-score for this limit be z'

P(z < z') = 0.05

From the normal distribution table,

z' = -1.645

And the limit for the top 5% which is z" = 1.645.

The weight that corresponds to these scores are then calculated.

Standardized scores are given as

z = (x - μ)/σ

So,

z' = (limit for the bottom 5% - μ)/σ

-1.645 = (limit for the bottom 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (-1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 7.033 pounds

z" = ( (limit for the top 5% - μ)/σ

1.645 = (limit for the top 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 11.968 pounds

Therefore the healthy weight range for cats is (7.033 < x < 9.968)

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes the cat unhealthy.

Flaco's weight = 8 pounds

Flaco's weight lies in the healthy weight range for cats. Hence, Flaco is a healthy cat.

Tickets to the school musical are $5.00 for adults and $2.50 for students. If the total value of the tickets sold was $687.50 an
Masja [62]

Answer:

Your answers should be a = 135 adult tickets and s = 186 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solving for variable s by manipulating variable a:

a + s = 321

a = 321 - s (subtract s to the other side to get a by itself)

$3.50(321-s) + $2.50s = $937.50 (substitution from step 2)

$1123.50 - $3.50s + $2.50s = $937.50 (distributive property)

$1123.50 - $1.50s = $937.50 (combine like terms)

-$1.00s = -$186 (subtraction property of equality)

s = 186 student tickets.

2. Solving for variable a by manipulating variable s:

a + s = 321

s = 321 - a

$3.50a + $2.50(321-a) = $937.50

$3.50a + $802.50 - $2.50 a = $937.50

$1.00a = $135

a = 135 adult tickets.

If you plug both numbers into the original equations, they should come out to be true equations. 135 + 186 = 321 and $472.5 + $465 = $937.5, so these two numbers are your answers for a and s accordingly.

Using the elimination method, we need to eliminate one of the variables by a process of subtraction or addition depending on the case. We can use multiplication or division before eliminating in order to eliminate.

a + s = 321

3.50a + 3.50s = 1123.50 (multiply entire equation by 3.50 in order to eliminate variable a by subtraction)

Now, we can use elimination:

3.50a + 3.50s = 1123.50

3.50a + 2.50s = 937.50

0a + 1s = 186, or s = 186 student tickets.

The same process can be used to solve for variable a. Your answers should be a = 135 adult tickets and s = 186 student tickets.
