Response:

15 boxes of 10 oz were sold

Breakdown of the solution:

Let x represent the count of 10 oz boxes

and let y denote the count of 16 oz boxes

According to the problem statement:

"The overall number of boxes sold totals 24"

The associated equation will be

x + y = 24 ---------------(1)

From the statement

"she gathered $97.50 with the price of a 10 oz box being $3.50 and a 16 oz box priced at $5.00."

The correlating equation will be

3.50x + 5y = 97.50 ------------(2)

Substituting y = 24 - x into equation (1) yields

3.50x + 5(24 - x) = 97.50

3.50x + 120 - 5x = 97.50

-1.5x = 97.50 - 120

1.5x = 22.50

x = \frac{22.5}{1.5}

x = 15

Thus, the count of 10 oz boxes is 15.

babunello [11817]

Answer:

The likelihood that Albert's sample of 64 will have a mean waiting time between 13.5 and 16.5 minutes is 0.9973.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prior concepts

A normal distribution is characterized as a "probability distribution that is symmetric around the mean, indicating that data close to the mean are more frequent than those further away".

The Z-score refers to "a statistical measurement that reflects the relationship of a value to the mean of a group, measured in standard deviations".

Let X denote the random variable of interest, and we identify its distribution:

X \sim N(\mu=15,\sigma=4)

Also, let \bar X signify the sample mean, whose distribution is:

\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

In this case, \bar X \sim N(15,\frac{4}{\sqrt{64}})

Solution to the problem

We seek this probability

P(13.5

Applying the Z-score formula to the probability results in:

P(13.5

=P(\frac{13.5-15}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{64}}}

To determine these probabilities, we can refer to normal distribution tables, use Excel, or a calculator.

P(-3

The likelihood that Albert's sample of 64 will have a mean waiting time between 13.5 and 16.5 minutes is 0.9973.

Trapezoid STUV with vertices S(-3,6),T(0,7),U(1,4),and V(-5,2): (x,y)>(x+7,y-9)​
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

Please refer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points:

  • S(-3,6),T(0,7),U(1,4),and V(-5,2)

Translation rule:

  • (x,y) → (x+7,y-9)

New coordinates after applying the rule:

  • S'(4, -3), T'(7, -2), U'(8, -5), V'(2, -7)

For the graph, see attached.

The trapezoid highlighted in blue is STUV while the red trapezoid is S'T'U'V'

The most economical proportion for a right circular cone is to have its height three times long as its base diameter. What later
PIT_PIT [12445]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  ∛(2500π)√37 m² ≈ 120.911 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If the height of the cone is three times the diameter, that means it is six times the radius. Hence, the volume is computed as...

  V = 1/3πr²h

  V = 1/3πr²(6r) = 2πr³

To find the radius for a volume of 100 m³, solve...

  100 m³ = 2πr³

  r = ∛(50/π) m

To calculate the lateral area, the slant height must be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  s² = r² +(6r)² = 37r²

  s = r√37

Thus, the lateral area is calculated as...

  LA = πrs

  LA = π(∛(50/π) m)(∛(50/π) m)√37

  LA = ∛(2500π)√37 m² ≈ 120.911 m²
