Every time Martina orders Chinese food, she gets egg drop soup. So, she decides to learn how to make it herself. Her recipe call

s for 8 cups of broth, but she can only find 32-fluid-ounce cartons at the store. How many cartons should she buy?

Answer:

2 cartons

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! To start, we need to determine what we already know, Martine needs 8 cups worth of broth, but can only find 32-fluid ounce cartons.

Next, we need to find what we need to know, how many fluid ounces are in a cup? <em>There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup!</em>

Now, all we need to do is convert our cups to be able to find out how many cartons we need! So, to do this, we are going to multiply our number of cups by the number of fluid ounces in just 1 cup (so 8!).

<em>8 cups x 8 fluid ounces (per 1 cup) = 64 fluid ounces</em>

So! Martina needs 64 fluid ounces of broth to be able to create her recipe!

<em>But, we aren't finished just yet, as we need to find how many cartons Martina needs! Like we did before, we know that there a 32 fluid ounces in 1 carton so if we have 64 fluid ounces in the recipe, all we need to do is divide 64 by 32 to find out how many cartons we need!</em>

<em>64 fluid ounces (8 cups worth) ÷ 32 fluid ounces (per carton) = 2 cartons</em>

Melina needs to buy 2 cartons of broth to be able to complete her recipe.

Hope this Helps! :)

2<br> 7<br> What is the area of the triangle?<br> units?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is always

baseline × height / 2

where baseline and height are perpendicular (at a 90° angle) to each other.

so, in our case the area is

7 × 2 / 2 = 7 × 1 = 7 units²

Identify the vertex of the parabola and tell whether it is a minimum or a maximum.
frozen [14]

Answer:

First parabola's vertex is (-2,2), which is a minimum.

Second parabola's vertex is (3,2), which is a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply, a vertex of a quadratic is a graph's turning point.

The maximum and minimum can be identified by seeing if the graph curves up or down.

Maximum occurs when your graph is facing down.

Minimum occurs when your graph is facing up.

SAT scores are normed so that, in any year, the mean of the verbal or math test should be 500 and the standard deviation 100. as
vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) P(X>625)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{625-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{625-500}{100})=P(Z>1.25)

P(Z>1.25)=1-P(Z

b) P(400

P(-1

P(-1

c) z=-0.842

And if we solve for a we got

a=500 -0.842*100=415.8

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 415.8.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the SAT scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(500,100)  

Where \mu=500 and \sigma=100

We are interested on this probability

P(X>625)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>625)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{625-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{625-500}{100})=P(Z>1.25)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>1.25)=1-P(Z

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(400

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(400

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-1

Part c

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.8   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.2 of the area on the left and 0.8 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842. On this case P(Z<-0.842)=0.2 and P(Z>-0.842)=0.8

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.842

And if we solve for a we got

a=500 -0.842*100=415.8

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 415.8.
