A store is having a sale on trail mix and jelly beans. For 5 pounds of trail mix and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $17. For 2 pounds of trail mix and 12 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $23. Find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Trail Mix costs $2.50 per pound, and Jelly Beans cost $1.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using x for trail mix and y for jelly beans, we have a system of equations being

[tex]\left \{ {{5x+3y=17} \atop {2x+12y=23}} \right.[/tex]

We can solve this system using substitution

5x+3y=17

Divide by 5 to have a coefficient of 1 before x

[tex]x+\frac{3}{5} y=\frac{17}{5}[/tex]

Subtract [tex]\frac{3}{5} y[/tex] from each side to single out one variable to one side

[tex]x=\frac{17}{5} -\frac{3}{5} y[/tex]

Now, we can plug in our value for x into the given equation

[tex]2(\frac{17}{5} -\frac{3}{5} y)+12y=23[/tex]

Open the parentheses

[tex]\frac{34}{5} -1\frac{1}{5} y+12y=23[/tex]

Merge Y values

[tex]6.8+10.8y=23[/tex]

Separate numerical values from variables

[tex]10.8y=16.2[/tex]

Divide by 10.8 in order to have a coefficient of 1

[tex]y=1.5[/tex]

Now that we have one of the values, we know that a pound of jelly beans costs $1.50. We can now plug in 1.5 for y into one of our equations to find x.

[tex]5x+3(1.5)=17[/tex]

Open parentheses

[tex]5x+4.5=17[/tex]

Single out the variable

[tex]5x=12.5[/tex]

Divide by 5 to have a coefficient of 1 before x

[tex]x=2.5[/tex]

[tex]y=1.5[/tex]

The weights for newborn babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 5.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.6 pounds.


Consider a group of 800 newborn babies:


1. How many would you expect to weigh between 3 and 8 pounds?


2. How many would you expect to weigh less than 6 pounds?


3. How many would you expect to weigh more than 5 pounds?


4. How many would you expect to weigh between 5.5 and 9 pounds?

Please help and STEP BY STEP PLZ.

Answers

Compute each probability. The strategy is to transform X, a random variable representing the weight of newborns, to another random variable Z that represents the same but scaled quantity so that Z is normally distributed with mean 0 and s.d. 1. To do this, we use the rule

X = 5.5 + 1.6 Z

or

Z = (X - 5.5)/1.6

then use a calculator to compute the probability, or look it up in a table. Multiply this probability by 800 to find the number of newborns in each category.

1.

Pr[3 ≤ X ≤ 8] = Pr[(3 - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (8 - 5.5)/1.6]

… ≈ Pr[-1.5625 ≤ Z ≤ 1.5625]

… ≈ 0.8818

Out of 800 babies, you would expect around 88% of them, or about 705 babies to weight between 3 and 8 pounds.

2.

Pr[X < 6] = Pr[(X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (6 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[Z ≤ 0.3125]

… ≈ 0.6227

Out of 800 babies, around 498 will weigh less than 6 pounds.

3.

Pr[X > 5] = Pr[(X - 5.5)/1.6 > (5 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[Z > -0.3125]

… ≈ 0.6227

same as (2) due to the symmetry of the distribution (Z is centered at zero). Out of 800 babies, you can expect around 498 in this group.

4.

Pr[5.5 ≤ X ≤ 9] = Pr[(5.5 - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (9 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[0 ≤ Z ≤ 2.1875]

… ≈ 0.4857

Out of 800 babies, around 388 will weigh between 5.5 and 9 pounds.

she earned after one year was $58. How much did she invest in each account?

Answers

Answer:

$200 at 5%$800 at 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at the higher rate. Then 1000-x is the amount invested at the lower rate. The total earnings are ...

  0.05(1000-x) +0.06x = 58

  50 +0.01x = 58 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.01x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 50

  x = 800 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 100; amount at 6%

  (1000-x) = 200 . . . . . . . find the amount invested at 5%

Lara invested $200 at 5% and $800 at 6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

"end behavior" means what the is graph doing if you keep going off the page.

The symbol "x approaches negative infinity" is going off the page to the left. Both graphs are going up, up, up as you look at the x's going off the page to the left. See image.The last point of the g(x) on the table, when it's on the graph, you can see that curve hit bottom and turned up. So g(x) is going up, up, up as you look at all the x's going to the right. However the original graph, the green graph f(x), well, it's kind of flat, but it IS going down, down, down as you go off the page to the right.

So the end behavior is the same as x approaches negative infinity and different as x approaches infinity.

3. The grade-point averages of 20 college seniors selected at random from a graduating class are as follows:
3.2, 1.9 ,2.7, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9, 3.8, 3.0, 2.5, 3.3, 1.8, 2.5, 3.7, 2.8, 2.0, 3.2, 2.3, 2.1, 2.5, 1.9 Calculate the standard deviation.

Answers

The standard deviation of the grade points average of the college seniors is 0.57.

The given parameters:

3.2, 1.9 ,2.7, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9, 3.8, 3.0, 2.5, 3.3, 1.8, 2.5, 3.7, 2.8, 2.0, 3.2, 2.3, 2.1, 2.5, 1.9

The sum of the given data is calculated as follows;

∑x = 3.2 + 1.9 + 2.7 +  2.4 + 2.8 + 2.9 + 3.8 + 3.0 +  2.5 + 3.3 + 1.8 + 2.5 + 3.7 + 2.8 + 2.0 + 3.2 + 2.3 + 2.1 + 2.5 + 1.9

∑x = 53.3

The mean of the distribution is calculated as follows;

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\Sigma x}{N} \\\\\bar x = \frac{53.3}{20} \\\\\bar x = 2.665[/tex]

The square of the difference between the grade point and the mean;

[tex]\Sigma (x - \bar x)^2 = (3.2- 2.665)^2 + (1.9-2.665)^2 + (2.7- 2.665)^2 + (2.4-2.665)^2 \\\\+(2.8-2.665)^2 +(2.9 - 2.665)^2 + (3.8 - 2.665)^2 + (3-2.665)^2+ \\\\(2.5 -2.665)^2 + (3.3 - 2.665)^2 + (1.8-2.665)^2 + (2.5 - 2.665)^2 + \\\\(3.7-2.665)^2 + (2.8 - 2.665)^2 + (2-2.665)^2 + (3.2-2.665)^2 + \\\\(2.3 - 2.665)^2 + (2.1-2.665)^2 + (2.5-2.665)^2 + (1.9 - 2.665)^2\\\\\Sigma (x - \bar x)^2 = 6.5055[/tex]

The standard deviation of the grade points is calculated as follows;

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\Sigma (x-\bar x)^2}{N} } \\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{6.5055}{20} } \\\\\sigma = 0.57[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of the grade points average of the college seniors is 0.57.

So, "multiply exponents" and "product of powers" are basic two equivalent phrases! I think the answers on the image should work, but jic if not switch those two.

The Add exponents rule and Subtract are 100% correct.

The expressions are matched to the method needed to evaluate as shown below.

What are Expressions?

Expressions are mathematical statements which consist of two or more terms and terms are connected to each other using mathematical operators like addition, multiplication, subtraction and so on.

The first expression is 5³ × 5³.

Multiplication rule of exponents states that,

xᵃ × xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ

That is we add the exponents.

So, 5³ × 5³ = 5³⁺³ = 5⁶

The next expression is (7²)³.

We have the rule, (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ

So, here, multiply the exponents.

(7²)³ = 7⁶

(4x³)⁵

We can write it as,

(4x³)⁵ = 4⁵ . (x³)⁵

That is write is as product of the powers.

Division rule of exponents states that,

xᵃ / xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ

6⁹ / 6⁵ = 6⁹⁻⁵ = 6⁴

So, subtract the exponents.

Hence the expressions are matched.
