2. Company A packages roofing nails in boxes that are normally distributed with a mean of 276 nails and a standard deviation of 5.8 nails. Company B packages roofing nails in boxes that are normally distributed with a mean of 252 nails and a standard deviation of 3.4 nails. Which company is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails? Explain your answer using z-scores.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

We would use z score formula

z = (x - μ) / σ

x = raw score

μ = mean

σ = Standard deviation

let x = 260 with the mean μ1 = 276 and standard deviation σ = 5.8

let x = 260 with the mean μ2 = 252 and standard deviation σ = 3.4

z1 = (x- μ1) / σ = (260- 276) / 5.8 = -2.7586206897

z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ = (260 -252) / 3.4= 2.3529411765

Comparing the two z scores, we can see that company B has the probability of producing 260 nails because it has a positive z score of approximately 2.35 compared to company A with a z score of -2.76.

Which is the graph of the linear inequality 2x – 3y < 12?
B

Answers

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x - 3y < 12

Required

Find the graph it represents

we start by solving for the x and y intercepts;

Let x = 0

2x - 3y < 12 becomes

2(0) - 3y < 12

0 - 3y < 12

-3y < 12

Divide both sides by -3

-3y/3 < 12/-3

y > -4

Let y = 0

2x - 3y < 12 becomes

2x - 3(0) < 12

2x - 0 < 12

2x < 12

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 < 12/2

x < 6

So, we have

x < 6 and y > -4

This implies that the graph is bound by the region where the values of x is less than 6 and the values of y is greater than -4

What is the new cost if a $2.75 toy is marked up by 29%?

Answers

Answer:

Trying to find the missing segment to the triangle in the attached image. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answers

Answer:

24 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using concept of basic proportionality theorem,

according to this theorem, if a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle and intersect the other two sides then the two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Example:

let there be a triangle ABC

if DE is drawn parallel to BC such that D is a point on line AB and E is other point on AC, then

AD/DB = AE/EC (basic proportionality theorem)

_____________________________________

Similarly in this problem

15/5 = ?/8

3= ?/8

? = 8*3 = 24

Thus. missing segment value is 24 unit.

Answers

Answer:

y = 3/4x + 17/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope m

m = (5 - 2)/(1 + 3)

m = 3/4

y = 3/4x + b

Step 2: Find b

5 = 3/4(1) + b

5 = 3/4 + b

b = 17/4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 3 is a vertical line.

The perpendicular line passes through (0, -4) (x, y)

y = -4

The line is perpendicular, so the line should be also horizontal.

Answer:

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x = 3 is a vertical one; any line perpendicular to x = 3 is a horizontal line (which has a zero slope).  

Thus, the desired line is a horizontal one that passes through (0, -4) and is represented by y = -4.

The sum of three consecutive integers is greater than 66. What is the smallest possible product of the largest and smallest of these integers?

Please help me on this

Answers

Answer:

528

Step-by-step explanation:

So naturally at first sight for this question we would think -->

Oh 3 consecutive integers = 66 --> 66/3 = 22 (n-1), (n+1) so --> 21, 22, and 23.

But no. At second look it is the sum of 3 consecutive integers is greater than 66. So we find the next possible pair since it says smallest possible product.

We get the set (22, 23, 24). => Multiply the least and greatest integers together respectively 22 and 24 which amounts to => 528

And thus, we have out answer of 528

Hamish and hairy work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar more than 5/4 The amount Hamish orange per hour. The amount Harry earns per hour is two dollars less than 7/5the amount Hamish and per hour. How much does each of them earn per hour?

Answers

Answer:

Harry earns 26 and Hamish earns 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount earned by each one of them is shown below:

Let us assume the hairy be Y

And, the Hamish be M

It is given that Harry earns a dollar i.e more than 5/4

And, it is $2 less than  7/5

So, the equation would be

y = 1.25m + 1  ...........................(i)

And,

y= 1.4m -2  .............................(ii)

Now equal both the equations

1.25m + 1 = 1.4m - 2

3 = 0.15m

So, m = 20

Now put the values of m in any of the above equation to find out the value of Y

Y = 1.25m + 1

= 1.25 (20) + 1

= 26

Answers

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Left the party at 11 pm = 70

Stayed = 250-70

=> 180

Couples that stayed = 180/2

=> 90

Answer:

90 Couples

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 250 total people at the beginning at the party. 70 people left at 11pm.

Subtract 70 from 250:

[tex]250-70=180[/tex]

There were 180 people that stayed.

A couple consists of two people. The question asks how many couples stayed at the party, not people.

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) = x4 - x3 - 13x2 + x + 12

Answers

We can find roots by setting f(x) = 0 --> x^4 - x^3 - 13x^2 + x + 12 = 0.

Factoring f(x) to make things easier for us gives us (x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 4)(x + 3), which, equal to 0, gives us the ability to set each set of parentheses = 0.

x - 1 = 0 gives us x = 1.

x + 1 = 0 --> x = -1.

x - 4 = 0 --> x = 4.

x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3.

our roots are x = 1, -1, 4, and -3.

pls hurry the answer is not 36.......Given a * b=ba−ba+ab, find (2*3)×(3*2).

Answers

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we have been given a rule to follow

Given a * b = ba−ba+ab

We are to find (2*3)×(3*2)

Let simplify each bracket first

a * b = ba−ba+ab

2*3, a = 2, b = 3

2*3 = 3×2 - 3×2 + 2×3

= 6 - 6 + 6

= 6

a * b = ba−ba+ab

3*2, a = 3, b = 2

3*2 = 2×3 - 2×3 + 3×2

= 6 - 6 + 6

= 6

(2*3)×(3*2)

= 6 × 6

= 36

The answer is 36

$6,000 dollars is invested in two different accounts earning 3% and 5% interest. At the end of one year, the two accounts earned $220 in interest. How much money was invested at 3%? $2,000 $3,000 $4,000

Answers

Answer:

money invested at 3% is $4000

Step-by-step explanation:

let the money invested in 3% account be x

then money invested in 5% account = 6000 - x

we know interest = p*r*t/100

p is the principle amount invested

here t = 1 year

interest on 3% money

interest= x*3*1/100 = 3x/100

interest on 5% money

interest= (6000-x)*5*1/100

Total interest earned on both the account

3x/100 + 5(6000-x)/100 = (3x + 30,000 - 5x)/100 =( 30000-2x)/100

given that total interest earned = $220

thus

( 30000-2x)/100 = 220

=> 30000-2x = 220*100= 22,000

=> -2x = 22,000- 30,000

=> x = -8000/-2 = 4000

Thus, money invested at 3% = x = $4000
