1. Each month, the city of Accra generates an average of 28 pounds of waste. Assume the variable is approximately normally distr

ibuted and the standard deviation is 2 pounds. If a household is selected at random, find the probability of its generating between 27 and 31 pounds of waste per month. Draw a normal distribution curve to show the required region.
2. It is assumed that consumption C depends on income Y and that this relationship takes the form of the linear function C = a + bY. When Y is GH¢600, C is observed to be GH¢660. When Y is 1,000, C is observed to be GH¢900. What are the values of a and b in this function? Express C in terms of Y only. Find the consumption if a family’s income is GH¢1,200.

1. Answer: given: an average of 28 pounds

a.

Find z values corresponding to 27 and 31:

z=%2827-28%29%2F2=-1%2F2=-0.5

z=%2831-28%29%2F2=3%2F2=1.5

Find the area between z+=+-0.5 and z=+1.5

Table E gives us an area of 0.9332-0.30=0.6247=> The probability is 62.47%

b.

Find z values corresponding to 30.2

z=%2830.2-28%29%2F2=2.2%2F2=1.1 Find the area to the right of z+=1.1

it gives you an area of 0.1357=> The probability is 13.57%

Hamburger buns come in packages of 8. Hamburger patties come in packages of 10.
Vadim26 [7]

Answers/Step-by-step explanation:

A. LCM

B. Greatest Common Factor(GCF) shows the largest whole number, in this case patties and buns, would be a part of the whole that matches both numbers. Neil is unable to buy parts of packages because that not how most stores do business. Least common multiple(LCM) is the number that is both closest in value to the original number while being equal for all numbers. in that case, Neil is buying whole packages so it would work.

C. Neil would buy 4 packages of hamburger patties and 5 packages of hamburger buns. He could make 20 burgers.

The greatest amount of rainfall is times as great as the least amount of rainfall
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

16 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking :

<em>what number multiplied with the least amount would give me the greatest amount??</em>

<em />

<em>Let that number be x, so we can say:</em>

<em>least amount * x = greatest amount</em>

<em />

From the plot, we can see that least amount is 1/8 inches

The greatest amount is 2 inches

Now we can put it into the formula and find x:

1/8 * x = 2

x = 2/(1/8)

x = 16

A ladder 10 feet long rests against a vertical wall. Initially, the top of the ladder is 8 feet above the ground. If the top of
lora16 [44]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let vertical height of ladder from ground be y and

horizontal distance of the base of the ladder from the wall be x respectively.

Length of the ladder = l (constant) = 10 ft

<u>Using Pythagoras theorem</u>:

{l}^{2}  =  {y}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}

Differentiate both sides w.r.t time

0 = 2y \frac{dy}{dt}  + 2x \frac{dx}{dt}

y \frac{dy}{dt}  + x \frac{dx}{dt}  = 0

<u>We know that</u> (After 1 sec, y = 6 ft and x = 8 ft ; dy/dt = 2 ft/sec)

6\times 2 + 8\frac{dx}{dt}  = 0

\frac{dx}{dt}  =  - 1.5 ft  \: per \: sec

<u>( Ignore - ive sign)</u>

Therefore, bottom of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a speed of 1.5 ft/sec one second after the ladder starts sliding.
