Answer: History textbooks sold = 236, Sociology textbooks sold = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

- There are in total 354 books

- Let x be the number of sociology textbooks sold

- Let 2x be the number of history textbooks sold

<u>Solve</u>

Given

x + 2x = 354

Combine like terms

3x = 354

Divide 3 on both sides

3x / 3 = 354 / 3

x = 118

2x = 118 × 2 = 236

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

<u>Answer:</u>

<h2>sociology textbooks = 118</h2><h2>history textbooks = 236</h2>

<u>Explanation:</u>

sociology textbooks = 2 × history textbooks

354/3 = 118

sociology textbooks = 118

history textbooks = 118×2 = 236

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

a) 0.16

b) 0.0518

c) P(p \leq 0.15) = 0.4247

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, we have that the mean is \mu = p and the standard deviation is \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.16, n = 50

a. Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 that is drawn from all applications.

The mean of p is 0.16.

b. Find the standard deviation of p.

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.16*0.84}{50}} = 0.0518

c. Compute an approximation for P ( p leq 0.15), which is the probability that there will be 15% or fewer minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 drawn from all applications. Round your answer to four decimal places.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.15. So

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

Z = \frac{0.15 - 0.16}{0.0518}

Z = -0.19

Z = -0.19 has a pvalue of 0.4247

P(p \leq 0.15) = 0.4247

Working alone and at a constant rate, Machine A takes 3 hours to create a widget. Machine B, working alone and at a constant rat
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Time required by Machine B to create a widget = 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Machine A ( T_{A} ) = 3 hours

Time taken by Machine B ( T_{B} )= x hours

Time taken by both machines by working together = 12 hours

The time required to both machines by  working together to finish a task is given by the formula = \frac{T_{A} {T_{B} } }{T_{A} + T_{B} }

Put the values in above formula we get

⇒ T =  \frac{3 x}{3 + x}

⇒ 12 =  \frac{3 x}{3 + x}

⇒ 36 + 12 x = 3 x

⇒ x = - 4 hours

This is the time required by Machine B to create a widget.

Your soccer team isnt holding a silent auction dinner as a fundraiser to pay for school uniforms. The list shows all the expense
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

  A) $16

  B) p(x) = 16x -800

  C) 69 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The total of expenses is ...

  $280 +100 +20 +400 = $800

If this is covered by 50 tickets, then a ticket must provide revenue of ...

  $800/50 = $16

The cost per ticket is $16.

__

B) The profit is the difference between revenue and expenses. The revenue from sale of x tickets will be 16x. The expenses are fixed at 800, so the profit is ...

  p(x) = 16x -800

__

C) We can find the number of tickets to sell (x) in order for profit to be at least $300 by solving the inequality ...

  p(x) ≥ 300

  16x -800 ≥ 300 . . . . . use the expression for p(x)

  16x ≥ 1100 . . . . . . . . .  add 800

  x ≥ 68.75 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 16 . . . (the least satisfactory integer is 69)

In order to raise at least $300, the number of tickets sold must be at least 69.
