Answer:

50 gallons of red

30 gallons of blue

Step-by-step explanation:

5 parts of the whole must be red, 3 parts of the whole must be blue, and there are 5+3=8 parts in total.

therefore, 1 part = 80/8 = 10 gallons

red : 5 parts

5×10 = 50 gallons

blue : 3 parts

3×10 = 30 gallons

Engineers want to design passenger seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 95 percent of adult men. Ass
zimovet [89]

Answer:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the hips breadths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14.4,1.1)  

Where \mu=14.4 and \sigma=1.1

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.05   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can find a quantile in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64

Using this value we can set up the following equation:

P(X  

P(z

And we have:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.

There are 8 roses in a vase of 14 flowers. The rest are daisies.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a) 4:3

b) 7:3

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of roses= 8

No. of daisies = 6

Total no. of flowers = 14

a) Ratio of roses to daisies = No. of roses/No. of daisies

8/6

= 4/3

= 4:3

b) Ratio of all flowers to daisies = No. of all flowers/ No. of daisies

14/6

= 7/3

= 7:3

Solve. 90<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x" id="TexFormula1" title="x" alt="x" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> = 27.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: x≈0.732

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the value of the variable "x".

To solve for "x" you need to apply the following property of logarithms:

log(m)^n=nlog(m)

Apply logarithm on both sides of the equation:

90^x=27\\\\log(90)^x=log(27)

Now, applying the property mentioned before, you can rewrite the equation in this form:

xlog(90)=log(27)

Finally, you can apply the Division property of equality, which states that:  

 If\ a=b,\ then\ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}

Therefore, you need to divide both sides of the equation by log(90). Finally, you get:

\frac{xlog(90)}{log(90)}=\frac{log(27)}{log(90)}\\\\x=\frac{log(27)}{log(90)}

x≈0.732

A plant that manufactures metal plates has a quality control team to check that the plates are the right size. A rectangular pla
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Given the size of rectangular plate in advertisement = 5 cm by 3cm.

Given the condition for length should be   = 0.25 of 5 cm  

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, have to write the inequality from the given data.

Therefore,  5- 0.25 ≤ L ≤ 5+.25

4.75 ≤ L ≤ 5.25

We know that the area of a rectangle =  Length × Width.

 Width = 3

Thus, the area is 3 × L

3× (4.75) ≤ 3×L ≤3× (5.25)

14.25 ≤ 3×L ≤ 15.75

So the minimum area is 14.25 cm^2

The maximum area is 15.75 cm^2
