Answer:Let t = cost per pound of turkey

Let h = cost per pound of ham

4t + 2h = 30

t = h - 1.5

substitute h-1.5 in place of t in 1st equation

4(h-1.5) + 2h = 30

4h - 6 + 2h = 30

6h - 6 = 30

6h = 36

h = 6

t = h-1.5 = 4.5

1 pound of turkey costs $4.50

1 pound of ham costs $6.00

----------

cost of 1 pound each $10.50

You always need some time to get up after the alarm has rung. You get up from 10 to 20 minutes later, with any time in that inte

Answer:

a) P(x<5)=0.

b) E(X)=15.

c) P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) P=0.216.

e) P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{10},\, \, \, 10\leq x\leq 20 } \atop {0, \, \, \, \, \, \, otherwise }} \right.$

a) We calculate the probability that you need less than 5 minutes to get up:

$P(x$

Therefore, the probability is P(x<5)=0.

b) It takes us between 10 and 20 minutes to get up. The expected value is to get up in 15 minutes.

E(X)=15.

c) We calculate the probability that you will need between 8 and 13 minutes:

$P(8\leq x\leq 13)=P(10\leqx\leq 13)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot [x]_{10}^{13}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot (13-10)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{3}{10}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=0.3$

Therefore, the probability is P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) We calculate the probability that you will be late to each of the 9:30am classes next week:

$P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{14}^{20}\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\P(x>14)=0.6$

You have 9:30am classes three times a week. So, we get:

$P=0.6^3=0.216$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.216.

e) We calculate the probability that you are late to at least one 9am class next week:

$P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{10}^{20}\\\\P(x>9.5)=1$

Therefore, the probability is P=1.

Bernadette bought two piece of ribbon .one piece is 6 1/4 feet long,and the other is 11 1/2 feet long.find the total length of t

fredd [130]

1/2 turns into 2/4 and 2/4 + 1/4 that equals 3/4 and then 11 plus 6 equals 17 3/4

How to calculate the distance for graphs?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$\sqrt{(x1-x2)^{2}+(y1-y2)^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the distance formula for cartesian coordinate systems, or your typical xy graph. If given two points to find the distance between, you can assign '1' or '2' to the points, i.e. (1,1) and (2,2) could be: (1,1) is (x1,y1) and (2,2) is (x2,y2). It doesn't matter which point is 1 or 2. If we were to use those example points in this formula, we would have:

$\sqrt{(1-2)^{2}+(1-2)^{2}}$
