Rose bought some spinach. She used 3/5 of the spinach on a pan of spinach pie for a party and 3/4 of the remaining spinach for a

pan for her family. She used the rest of the spinach to make a salad.
What fraction of the spinach did she use ti make the salad?

b. If Rose used 3 pounds of spinach to make the pan of spinach pie for the party , how many pounds of spinach did Rose use to make salad?

Amount of spinach purchased by Rose: x

Amount allocated for the spinach pie: (3/5)x

Remaining spinach afterward: x - (3/5)x = (1-3/5)x = (2/5)x

Amount used for the family pan: (3/4)(2/5)x = (6/20)x = (3/10)x

Remaining quantity for salad: x - (3/5)x - (3/10)x = (1 - 3/5 - 3/10)x
Quantity for making salad: [(10*1 - 2*3 - 1*3)/10]x = [(10 - 6 - 3)/10]x
So, the amount for salad is (1/10)x.

a. <span>The fraction she used for the salad is 1/10 of the spinach.
</span>b. If Rose used 3 pounds for the party's spinach pie, we calculate how much went to the salad:

Quantity for the pie: (3/5)x = 3 pounds
To find the salad amount: (1/10)x=?

To solve for x with the spinach pie used:
(3/5)x = 3 pounds
(5/3)(3/5)x = (5/3)(3 pounds)
x = 15/3 pounds = 5 pounds

Total spinach purchased: x = 5 pounds

Next, we determine what went into the salad:
(1/10)x = (1/10)(5 pounds) = (5/10) pounds = (1/2) pound = 0.5 pound

Answer: The amount used to prepare the salad equals 1/2 = 0.5 pound.

a. She utilized 1/10 of the spinach for a salad.

b. She allocated 1/2 pound of spinach for the salad.

We can tackle each segment of this issue with a "fraction strip," which visually represents the distribution of spinach used for the party, family, and salad. Refer to the attached image for a comprehensive step-by-step breakdown on how to multiply the fractions to uncover the accurate portions.

The line width of a tool used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micromete
zzz [9080]

Answer:

a. 0.82%

b. 71.11%

c. 0.564 micrometer

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the z value for each measurement, we must calculate and determine the percentage they correspond to, and the difference will give us the percentage between those two statistics.

The equation for z is:

z = (x - m) / (sd)

Here, x is the value being evaluated, m denotes the mean, and sd represents the standard deviation.

a.

For 0.62 copies, we calculate:

z = (0.62 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = 2.4

This translates to 0.9918.

Therefore, p (x > 0.62) = 1 - 0.9918

p (x > 0.62) =  0.0082 = 0.82%

b.

For 0.47 copies, we have:

z = (0.47 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = -0.6, which equates to 0.2742.

For 0.63 copies:

z = (0.63 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = -2.6, which yields 0.9953.

Hence, p (0.47 > x > 0.63) = 0.9953 - 0.2742

p (0.47 > x > 0.63) = 0.7211 = 72.11 %

c.

For x copies, we find:

p = 0.9 corresponds to z = 1.28.

Thus, 1.28 = (x - 0.5) / (0.05)

From which we derive:

x = 1.28*0.05 + 0.5

x = 0.564 micrometer

A random sample of 16 students selected from the student body of a large university had an average age of 25 years and a standar
PIT_PIT [9117]

Answer:

The P-value ranges between 2.5% and 5% according to the t-table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 16 students from a large university showed an average age of 25 years with a standard deviation of 2 years.

Let \mu = true average age of all students at the university.

So, the Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 24 years {indicating the average age is less than or equal to 24 years}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 24 years {indicating the average age is significantly greater than 24 years}

Here we employ the One-sample t-test statistics as the population's standard deviation is unknown;

                              T.S. = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average age = 25 years

             s = sample standard deviation = 2 years

             n = sample size = 16

This gives us the test statistics = \frac{25-24}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{16} } } ~ t_1_5

                                     = 2

The value of the t-test statistics is 2.

Moreover, the P-value of the test-statistics can be found as follows;

P-value = P(t_1_5 > 2) = 0.034 {as per the t-table}

Thus, the P-value lies between 2.5% and 5% based on the t-table.

A pile of sand has a weight of 90kg the sand is put into a small bag and a medium bag and a large bag in the ratio 2:3:7
tester [8842]
90kg of sand was divided into 3 bags, constituting a total of 2+3+7=12 sections.
90kg/12=7.5kg
The smaller bag comprises 2 sections, hence it weighs 7.5kg*2=15kg
The medium-sized bag consists of 3 sections, leading to a total weight of 7.5kg*3=22.5kg
The larger bag encompasses 7 sections, resulting in a weight of 7.5kg*7=52.5kg
Thus, the ratio 2:3:7 translates to 15kg:22.5kg:52.5kg
Verifying, 15kg+22.5kg+52.5kg equals 90kg

Which input value produces the same output value for the two functions on the graph?
Inessa [9000]
This question is essentially asking for the x-coordinate where the two graphed functions intersect. The intersection point corresponds to the input value for which both functions yield the same output. Among the options given, the correct choice is the second one, with x = -2 being the input value that results in identical outputs for both functions. I hope this clarifies your question.
