In a certain​ chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 15. A jar of the chemical contains 750 of copper. How many grams of

zinc does it​ contain?

Answer: it contains 200 grams of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 15 = 4;15

Total ratio = 4+15= 19

We first find amount of both zinc and copper( the whole chemical)  which is equal to

ratio of copper / total ratio  x (the entire chemical--total grams of zinc and copper) =amount of copper

15/19 x X = 750

X= 750 X 19 / 15= 950 grams

To find amount of zinc in the chemical = ratio of zinc / total ratio x total amount of chemical

=4/19 x 950

=200 grams

Write an example of a trinomial that cannot be factored.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

x^{2} + x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a trinomial that cannot be factored has no real roots.

here is one:

x^{2} + x + 1

After graphing this trinomial has no intersections points with the x-axis wich means it has no roots

A tangent and a secant x = ?
guajiro [1.7K]

x = 45°

Solution:

Given data:

Measure of larger arc = 152°

Measure of smaller arc = 62°

<em>If a tangent and a secant intersect at the exterior of a circle then the measure of angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.</em>

$\Rightarrow  x = \frac{1}{2}(\text{ larger arc }- \text{smaller arc} )

$\Rightarrow  x = \frac{1}{2}(152^\circ-62^\circ)

$\Rightarrow  x = \frac{1}{2}(90^\circ)

⇒ x = 45°

The value of x is 45°.

The average Act score follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 21.1 and a standard deviation of 5.1. What is the probabilit
ohaa [14]

Answer:

0.43% probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

\mu = 21.1, \sigma = 5.1, n = 50, s = \frac{5.1}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.7212

What is the probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 23. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{23 - 21.1}{0.7212}

Z = 2.63

Z = 2.63 has a pvalue of 0.9957

1 - 0.9957 = 0.0043

0.43% probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

You rented a car on vacation to go sightseeing for a day. You had to pay $50 for the day and $.15 per mile, along with $35 for g
stellarik [79]

The number of miles for which the car has been driven if one paid $122.50 as in the task content is; 2.5 miles.

<h3>For how many miles was the car driven?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the total amount paid was; $122.50.

Hence, after subtraction the constant charges, for the day and for gas, the remainder is;

$122.50 - $50 - $35

= $37.50.

Ultimately, if the charge per mile is $15, then the number of miles driven is; $37.50/$15

= 2.5 miles.
