a) The price of one medium drink is $3.80. b) The price of a large popcorn is $6.25. To solve, let the cost of a medium drink be $x and a large popcorn be $y. A couple spent $13.85 on 2 medium drinks and a large popcorn. Thus, 2x + y = 13.85. A family spent $23.90 on 3 medium drinks and 2 large popcorns; hence, 3x + 2y = 23.90. Using the elimination method, we multiply the first equation by 2, leading to 4x + 2y = 27.70. Now, subtract the second equation from this new equation, which simplifies to 4x - 3x = 3.80, giving us x = 3.80. Substituting x back into the first equation yields 2(3.80) + y = 13.85, resulting in y = 6.25. Therefore, the cost of one medium drink is $3.80 and a large popcorn is $6.25.

Answer:

A medium drink costs $3.8

A large popcorn is priced at $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s denote the medium drink's price as m and the large popcorn's price as p. The equations can be represented as follows:

2d+p=13.85 --- (1)

3d+2p=23.90 --- (2)

Now, we need to determine the prices of both items.

Using equation (1), we can find p=13.85-2d.

We then replace this value of p in equation (2):

3d+2p=23.90

3d+2(13.85-2d)=23.90

3d+27.7-4d=23.90

3d-4d=23.90-27.7

d=3.8

Next, using this new value of d, we can solve for p:

p=13.85-2d

p=13.85-2(3.8)

p=6.25

. Consequently, the price of a medium drink is $3.8 and a large popcorn is $6.25.

Suppose your statistics professor reports test grades as​ z-scores, and you got a score of 1.57 on an exam. ​a) Write a sentence
tester [12383]

Answer:

a) In this case, we have a z-score of 1.57, characterized as:

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

This signifies that our score is 1.57 standard deviations above the average of all test scores.

b) P(Z

Using the normal standard distribution or Excel, we computed:

P(Z

This represents 2.275% of the dataset.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution denotes a "probability distribution that is symmetric around the mean, indicating that data close to the mean occurs more frequently than data further from it".

The Z-score serves as "a statistical measurement representing a value's relation to the average (mean) of a set, calculated in terms of standard deviations away from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Part a

For this instance, we hold a z-score of 1.57, which is defined as:

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

This shows that our score is 1.57 deviations above the overall test score average.

Part b

A z-score of z=-2 indicates that your friend's score is 2 deviations below the other test scores.

Assuming a normal distribution, we can derive the percentage:

P(Z

Using the normal standard distribution or Excel, we discovered:

P(Z

This represents 2.275% of the data.

Mai wants to make an open top box by cutting out corners of a square piece of cardboard and folding up the sides. The cardboard
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

V(x)=(4x^{3}-40x^{2}+100x)\ cm^3

The variable x lies within the interval of all positive real numbers less than 5 cm.

Detailed solution:

Problem statement:

Determine the volume of the open-topped box as a function of the side length x (in centimeters) of the square cutouts.

Refer to the provided diagram for clarity.

Define:

x → length in centimeters of each square cutout side

The volume of the box with open top can be written as:

V=LWH

Given this, we have:

L=(10-2x)\ cm

W=(10-2x)\ cm

H=x)\ cm

By substitution:

V(x)=(10-2x)(10-2x)x\\\\V(x)=(100-40x+4x^{2})x\\\\V(x)=(4x^{3}-40x^{2}+100x)\ cm^3

Determine the domain of x:

Because:

(10-2x) > 0\\10> 2x\\ 5 > x\\x < 5\ cm

Therefore:

Domain is the interval (0,5)

That means all real numbers strictly greater than zero and less than 5 cm are valid for x.

Hence, the volume V as a function of x is:

V(x)=(4x^{3}-40x^{2}+100x)\ cm^3

In triangle RST, m∠R &gt; m∠S + m∠T. Which must be true of triangle RST? Check all that apply.
zzz [12365]

Answer:

∠ R > 90°

\angle s + \angle T < \angle 90

\angle R > \angle T

\angle R > \angle S    

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado que en el triángulo RST

\angle R> (\angle s +\angle T)

Ahora, según la condición, un ángulo es mayor que la suma de los otros dos ángulos.

En un triángulo, la suma de los tres ángulos es 180°

Por lo tanto, si un ángulo mide  90°, la suma de los otros dos debe ser igual a 90°

Y si uno de los ángulos es de 90°, solo los otros dos pueden ser de 45° cada uno.

Aquí suponiendo que el ángulo s = ángulo T = 30°, entonces con esta condición el ángulo r sería de 120°, que es mayor que 90°.

De lo anterior, se concluye que

Para, \angle R> (\angle s +\angle T)

∵ ∠ R = 120°, por lo tanto es mayor que 90°.

Es decir, ∠ R > 90°

\angle s + \angle T < \angle 90

\angle R > \angle T

\angle R > \angle S   Respuesta
