23.4 ounces of Oreos

Find how much 20% is by setting up a proportion:

$\frac{20}{100} = \frac{x}{19.5}$

Cross multiply:

$100x = 390$

Divide both sides by 100 to isolate x:

$x = 3.9$

Now because it says the new packaging contains 20% <em>more</em>, you <em>add</em> 3.9 ounces to 19.5 ounces.

$3.9 + 19.5 = 23.4$

Your answer is 23.4 ounces.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hotter = Temperature goes up

Colder = Temperature goes down

Since it's getting cooler outside, temperature drops

20°C - 22°C= -2°C

Determine the slope intercept form of the linear equation x/2-y+6=0

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

General equation of a line:

$y = mx + b$

then express in that form:

$\frac{x}{2} - y + 6 = 0 \\ \\ - y = - \frac{x}{2} - 6 \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{y = \frac{1}{2} x + 6}}}$

You are standing on a small fire tower 50 feet from a tree. You notice a squirrel in the tree. You measure the angle of depressi

irina [24]

Answer:

44.81 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ACD

Find the length side AC (height of the small fire tower)

$tan(52^o)=\frac{AC}{50}$ ---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

Solve for AC

$AC=tan(52^o){50}$

$AC=64\ ft$

step 2

In the right triangle ABE

Find the length side AB

$tan(21^o)=\frac{AB}{50}$ ---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

solve for AB

$AB=tan(21^o){50}$

$AB=19.19\ ft$

step 3

How many feet off the ground is the squirrel?

Subtract the length side segment AB from the length side segment AC

$64-19.19=44.81\ ft$

The lifetime of two light bulbs are modeled as independent and exponential random variables X and Y, with parameters lambda and

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The PDF of X is

$\bf f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\;(x\geq0)$

The PDF of Y is

$\bf g(x)=\mu e^{-\mu x}\;(x\geq0)$

The means of X and Y are respectively,

$\bf \displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}\;,\displaystyle\frac{1}{\mu}$

so we can see that the larger the parameter, the smaller the mean. Hence the PDF of Z = min(X, Y) is an exponential with the largest parameter of the two.

Therefore, the PDF of Z is

$\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)$
