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

Please use system of linear equations by elimination OR substitution. I need the work as well please.
Olin [163]

1) P= 64 cm, width = x, length = 14 + x

64 = x + x + 14 + x + 14 + x

64 = 4x + 28

4x = 64 - 28

4x = 36

x = 36/ 4

x = 9

AREA = 9 x (9+14)

Area = 9 x 23

Area = 207 cm

2) smaller no. = y, bigger no. = x

x - y = 3

2x+1/2y=36

Next, multiply 2 to first equation and find y:

2x-2y=6

5/2y=30

y = 12

Substitue y to x-y=3 to find x,

x = 15

3) x = pencil, y = pen

5x + 4y = $6.15

8x + 3y = 9.85$

8x + 7y = ?

5x + 4y = 6.15$ multiply both sides by -3

8x + 3y = 9.85$ multiply both sides by 4

-15x + 32x = (-3)*6.15 + 4*9.85

7x = 19.87 multiply both sides by 8/7

8x = (8/7) x 19.87

Add both equations:

32y - 15y = 8x6.15 - 5*9.58

17y = 1.3

y = 91/17) x 1.3

7y = (7/17)x 1.3

8x + 7y = (8/7) x 19.87 + (7/17) x 1.3

8x + 7y = $23.244

4) 2l + 2w = 0

2 x 2l + 2 x 1/2w = 40 + 16

l+w = 20

4l+w = 56

I’ve got l = 12 and w = 8

5) answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° = \frac{ab}{bc}

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =   \frac{ab}{20}

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The parameter of interest in this exercise is the population proportion of Asians that would welcome a person of other races in their family. Using the race of the welcomed one as categorizer we can define 3 variables:

X₁: Number of Asians that would welcome a white person into their families.

X₂: Number of Asians that would welcome a Latino person into their families.

X₃: Number of Asians that would welcome a black person into their families.

Now since we are working with the population that identifies as "Asians" the sample size will be: n= 251

Since the sample size is large enough (n≥30) you can apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the variable distribution to normal.

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.975}= 1.965

1. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a white person.

If 79% would welcome a white person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.79= 198.29

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.79*0.21=41.6409

√V(X)= 6.45

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

198.29±1.965*6.45

[185.62;210.96]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [185.62; 210.96] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a White person in their family.

2. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a Latino person.

If 71% would welcome a Latino person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.71= 178.21

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.71*0.29= 51.6809

√V(X)= 7.19

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

178.21±1.965*7.19

[164.08; 192.34]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [164.08; 192.34] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a Latino person in their family.

3. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a Black person.

If 66% would welcome a Black person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.66= 165.66

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.66*0.34= 56.3244

√V(X)= 7.50

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

165.66±1.965*7.50

[150.92; 180.40]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [150.92; 180.40] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a Black person in their family.

I hope it helps!
