So on one galon of gas car A would travel 33 1/3 miles, while car B would travel 29 1/3 miles. Answer: Car A

A: 400 / 12 = 33 1/3

B: 440 / 15 = 29 1/3

1)Which system of linear inequalities is graphed?

koban [17]

Answer:

1 ) D

2 ) D

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the straight line is given by y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is y-intercept.

1 ) According to the graph, we get the co-ordinates (0,-1) and (-1,0).

Using these so-ordinates, we will find the equation of the line.

i.e. Slope $m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

i.e. $m = \frac{0-(-1)}{-1-0}$

i.e. m = -1

Now, substituting m and (0,-1) in general form, we get c = -1.

So, the equation of this straight line is y = -x-1.

We will now use 'Zero Test' i.e. substitute (0,0) in the required equation and since the given regions are away from the origin, this pair of points will not satisfy the equation.

So, we get y < -x-1 and as the region is given to less than x= -3.

Hence, option D is correct.

2) Now, according to the second graph, we get the points (0,-2), (-2,0) and (0,1), (-1,-1) for two lines respectively.

Solving as in 1) we get that the equations of the lines are given by x+y = -2 and y = 2x+1 respectively.

Again using 'Zero Test', we see that these pair of points does not satisfy the equations.

So, we get x+y < -2 and y > 2x+1.

Hence, option D is correct.

the time taken by a student to the university has been shown to be normally distributed with mean of 16 minutes and standard dev

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b) 5.112 days

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 16, \sigma = 2.1$

a. Find the probability that he is late for his first lecture.

This is the probability that he takes more than 20 minutes to walk, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{20 - 16}{2.1}$

$Z = 1.905$

$Z = 1.905$ has a pvalue of 0.9716

1 - 0.9716 = 0.0284

2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b. Find the number of days per year he is likely to be late for his first lecture.

Each day, 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

Out of 180

0.0284*180 = 5.112 days

Emily gives her bird 1/8 cup of bird seeds along with 1/3 cup of grains each day. How much food is given each day to the bird

ANEK [815]

Answer:

11/24 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

What you would do is add 1/8 plus 1/3. To add two fractions, each much have the same denominator. In this case, you would need to multiply 1/8 into 3/24 by multiplying 1/8 by 3 on the denominator and numerator. For 1/3, multiply each the numerator and denominator by 8 getting the fraction 8/24. Now you can line up each fraction and add the numerators, keeping the denominator at 24. That answer would be 11/24. This cannot be simplified, so the answer is 11/24 cup of food.

Whenever you are confused with assignments, it is best to tell your parent to help you or teacher the next day. Hope this helps though!
