Lia must work at least 5 hours per week in her family’s restaurant for $8 per hour. She also does yard work for $12 per hour. Li

a’s parents allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week overall. Lia’s goal is to earn at least $120 per week.
Write a system of inequalities to represent this situation. Let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant, and let y be the number of hours of yard work.
Graph the inequalities.
What is the maximum number of hours Lia can work at the restaurant and still meet her earnings goal? Explain.
What is the maximum amount of money Lia can earn in 1 week? Explain.

As the question states, let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant, and y be the number of hours of yard work. 
We know that she can only work a maximum of 15 hours per work total, and that at she must work at least 5 hours in the restaurant. 
Therefore:
r + y ≤ 15
r ≥ 5
We also know that she wants to earn at least 120 dollars, earning $8/hr in the restaurant and $12/hr in the yard:
8r + 12y ≥ 120

What is the maximum of hours Lia can work in the restaurant and still make at leas 120 hours? 
Lia's parents won't let her work more than 15 hours, so we know that the answer won't be higher than 15.
If she worked all 15 hours in the restaurant, she would make 8*15 = 120.
The maximum number of hours she can work in the restaurant is therefore 15 hours

What is the maximum amount of money Lia can earn in a week? 
Lia has to work a minimum of 5 hours in the restaurant. She makes more money doing yard work, so she should devote the rest of her available work hours to yard work.
That means that, given her 15 hour work limit, she will maximize her income by working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard. 
5*8 + 10*12 = 40 + 120 = 160
The most she can make is 160 dollars, working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard

The length of time to complete a door assembly on an automobile factory assembly line is normally distributed with a mean of 6.7
hram777 [196]
We need to work out the z-value of each question to work out the probability

Question a)

We have
X = 5 minutes
The mean, μ = 6.7 minutes
Standard deviation, σ = 2.2 minutes
z-score = (X - μ) / σ = (5 - 6.7) / 2.2 = -0.77

We want to find the probability of z < -0.77 so we read the z-table for the value of z on the left of -0.77 we have the probability P(z< -0.77) = 0.2206

The table is attached in picture 1 below

The probability of assembly time less than 5 minutes is 0.2206 = 22.06%

Question b)

z-score = (10-5) / 2.2 = 2.27

Reading the z-table for P(z<2.27) = 0.9884
The table reading is shown in the second picture below

The probability the assembly time will be less than 10 minutes is 0.9884

We can use this information to find the probability of the assembly time will be more than 10 minutes  = 1 - 0.9884 = 0.0116 = 1.16%

Question c)

The value of z between 5 minutes and 10 minutes is

P(-0.77<z<2.27) = P(z<2.27) - P(z< -0.77)
P(-0.77<z<2.27) = 0.9884 - 0.2206 = 0.7678 = 76.78%

3. Janet is flying a kite on a string that is 75m long. The kite is 62m above the ground. Estimate the distance between Janet an
konstantin123 [22]
Answer: a) It will be a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 75 and a vertical leg that is 62. 
b) The length of the kite string is 75 (given in the problem). However, I believe you are looking for the distance from the spot on the ground beneath the kite to Janet. That is about 42.2 m.

To find the missing distance in the right triangle. You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem.  I set it up and solve it below.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 62^2 = 75^2
x^2 + 3844 = 5625
x^2 = 1781
x = 42.2 (about)

HELP I NEED THIS ANSWER FASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT MY BRAIN IS ON 1 BRAIN CELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1.We say a coin is fair if it has probability 1/2 of landing heads up and probability 1/2 of landing tails up. What is the probability that if we flip two fair coins, both will land heads up? It seems plausible that each should be equally likely. If so, each has probability of 1/4.

2.The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5. If we consider all possible outcomes of the toss of two coins as shown, there is only one outcome of the four in which both coins have come up heads, so the probability of getting heads on both coins is 0.25.

3.his states that the probability of the occurrence of two mutually exclusive events is the sum of their individual probabilities. As you can see from the picture, the probability of getting one head and one tail on the toss of two coins is 0
