The weights of adult polar bears, the largest bear species in North America, have a mean of 950 pounds and standard

Mathematics

The weight of 824 pounds of a polar bear has a z-score of -1.50.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation

Given that μ = 950, σ = 84

For z = -1.50:

-1.50=\frac{x-950}{84}\\\\x-950=-126\\\\x=824

The weight of 824 pounds of a polar bear has a z-score of -1.50.

PLEASE HELP!!!!<br> I need to solve for a, b, and c
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  • 25000 seats in section A
  • 14100 seats in sectin B
  • 10900 seats in section C

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you half the total number of seats are in section A, so you already know that there are 25000 A seats. The revenue from those seats is

... 25000×$25 = $625,000

so the revenue from B and C seats must total

... $1,070,500 - 625,000 = $445,500

If all 25000 of the B/C seats were C seats, the revenue would be

... 25000×$15 = $375,000

The actual revenue from those seats is $445,500 -375,000 = $70,500 more than that. We know each B seat generates $5 more revenue, so there must be ...

... $70,500/$5 = 14,100 . . . . B seats

Then the balance of the 25000 B and C seats are C seats:

... 25,000 - 14,100 = 10,900 . . . . C seats

_____

<em>Alternate Solution Method</em>

The new Brainly answer format requires the answer be supplied before the working. In order to find the answer quickly so that I can fill in that section, I used a matrix method for solving the problem. The problem equations can be written ...

  • a + b + c = 50000
  • a - b - c = 0
  • 25a + 20b + 15c = 1070500

so the augmented matrix is ...

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&50000\\1&-1&-1&0\\25&20&15&1070500\end{array}\right]

A graphing calculator can be used to find the solution to this, generally using a function that produces the reduced row-echelon form. The attachment shows the solution using a TI-84 calculator.

___

<em>Comment on the Working</em>

Since the number of A seats is equal to the total of B and C seats, the number of A seats must be half the total number of stadium seats. Having figured that out, the problem is reduced to one of finding the mix of B and C seats that will produce the remaining revenue.

As with many mixture problems, it is convenient to look at differences. Start with the assumption that all of the desired revenue comes from the least contributor. Here, that is C seats. Then figure the difference that using a B seat makes ($20 -15 = $5) and the difference of the actual revenue and the amount that you got by assuming all C seats: 445,500 -375,000 = 70,500. Since replacing a C seat by a B seat adds $5 to the revenue, it is easy to figure the number of such replacements required in order to raise the revenue by $70,500.

If you write the equation for B seats, you find the solution to the equation mirrors this verbal description:

... 20b + 15(25000-b) = 445,500

... 5b = 445,500 - 375000 . . . . simplify, subtract 375000

... b = 70500/5 = 14100

2 cars c and d started to move to each other car c was 118 miles from Boston car d was 256 miles from Boston car c was going twi
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

131.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.

Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:

d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles       (1)

Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence

For car c:

2x = d₁/t

t = d₁ / 2x

For car d;

x = d₂/t

t = d₂/ x

Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:

d₁/2x = d₂ / x

d₁ = 2d₂

d₁ - 2d₂ = 0         (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles

Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles

At Clement's Jr. High School, a student needs an 86 average to earn a B. Sue's average on
andriy [413]

Answer:

Sue must score 94 on the final test to earn a B.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are five tests in total.

Sue's average on the first four tests is 84.

If after the final test, she scores X, she will have a B on average of five tests.

We have the following equation:

86 = (4 × 84 + X)/5

<=> X = 5 × 86 - 4 × 84

=> X =  94

Select all that are true for g(x) = 10/x (PLEASE ANSWER FAST ILL LOVE YOU FOREVER)
Ksivusya [100]
The given function is:

g(x)= \frac{10}{x}

The parents functions of g(x) will be:

f(x)= \frac{1}{x}

The domain of g(x) and its parent function is the same i.e. Set of all Real numbers except 0.

The range of g(x) and its parent function is the same i.e. set of all real numbers except 0. 

g(x) and its parent function only decrease. They do not increase over any interval. However, the interval in which they decrease is the same for both.

So, the correct answers are:
The domain of g(x) is the same as the domain of the parent function.
<span>The range is the same as the range of the parent function.
</span><span>The function g(x) decreases over the same x-values as the parent function.</span>
