The weight of Jacob’s backpack is made up of the weight of the contents of the backpack as well as the weight of the backpack

itself. Seventy percent of the total weight is textbooks. His notebooks weigh a total of 4 pounds, and the backpack itself weighs 2 pounds. If the backpack contains only textbooks and notebooks, which equation can be used to determine t, the weight of the textbooks? 0. 7(t) = t â€" 4 â€" 2 0. 7(t) = t 4 2 0. 7t(4 2) = t 0. 7(t 4 2) = t.

The equation can be used to determine t, the weight of the textbooks is t = 0.7w

Given:

let

Total weight = w

Weight of notebook = n

Weight of backpack = b

Weight of textbook = t

w = n + b + t

where

n = 4 pounds

b = 2 pounds

t = 0.7w

So

w = 4 + 2 + 0.7w

w - 0.7w = 4 + 2

0.3w = 6

w = 6/0.3

w = 20

Recall,

t = 0.7w

= 0.7(20)

= 14 pounds

Therefore, the weight of the textbook is 14 pounds

Which graph represents the inequality y>3−x?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to draw the line y = 3 - x to see what the line itself looks like. Is it going from left to right as in A and C is going up as you go  from right to left as in B and D? The graph on the left (below) gives you the answer. It is going up as you progress from right to left.

The next step is to answer which is it: B or D.

y has to be above the line. it is B. See the graph below on the right.

The fuel efficiency in miles per gallon of all bmw 320i's is (approximately) normally distributed with a mean of 25 and a standa
grigory [225]
Given:
μ = 25 mpg, the population mean
σ = 2 mpg, the population standard deviation

If we select n samples for evaluation, we should calculate z-scores that are based on the standard error of the mean.
That is,
z= \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma / \sqrt{n} }

The random variable is x = 24 mpg.

Part (i):  n = 1
σ/√n = 2
z = (24 -25)/2 = -0.5
From standard tables,
P(x < 24) = 0.3085

Part (ii): n = 4
σ/√n = 1
z = (24 -25)/1 = -1
P(x < 24) = 0.1587

Part (iii): n=16
σ/√n = 0.5
z = (24 - 25)/0.5 = -2
P(x < 24) = 0.0228

Explanation:
The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
Therefore when n increases, we are getting a result which is closer to that of the true mean.
