Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x(6.75) + (5 - x)(5.50) = 5(6.25)

6.75x + 27.5 - 5.50x = 31.25

1.25x = 3.75

x = 3 lb of seed A

Use logarithms to solve each equation 2x9/8=111

Illusion [34]

<span>We have this equation:
</span>
$2x^{\frac{9}{8}} = 111$

and we need to find the value of x.

First of all, we multiply the whole equation for 1/2, so our goal is to isolate x, therefore:

$x^{\frac{9}{8}}=\frac{111}{2}$

Next step we must do is to apply <span>logarithms:
</span>
$logx^{\frac{9}{8}} = log(\frac{111}{2})$

Next, we have to apply identities and then to solve the equation:

$\frac{9}{8}logx = log(\frac{111}{2})$
$logx = \frac{8}{9}log(\frac{111}{2})$
$logx = 1.5504$
$10^{logx} = 10^{1.5504}$

Finally, we have the value of x which was our goal. This is the answer for the question above:

$x= 35.5140$

The weights of certain machine components are normally distributed with a mean of 8.04 g and a standard deviation of 0.08 g. Fin

NISA [10]

Answer:

The bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean, $\mu=8.04 g$

Standard deviation, $\sigma=0.08g$

We have to find the two weights that separate the top 3% and the bottom 3%.

Let x be the weight of machine components

$P(Xx_2)=0.03$

$P(X$

=0.03

From z- table we get

$P(Z1.88)=0.03$

Therefore, we get

$\frac{x_1-8.04}{0.08}=-1.88$

$x_1-8.04=-1.88\times 0.08$

$x_1=-1.88\times 0.08+8.04$

$x_1=7.8896$

$\frac{x_2-8.04}{0.08}=1.88$

$x_2=1.88\times 0.08+8.04$

$x_2=8.1904$

Hence, the bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.
