Write an equation for 15 is 15% of what number? Use x for your variable

Answers

Answer 1

Reading through the problem, we have "15 is",

that's "15 =", 15%, 15/100, "of", times, "what number", x.

So our equation reads 15 = 15/100 · x.

The lifetimes of a certain brand of light bulbs are known to be normally dsitributed with a mean of 1700 hours and standard deviation of 400 hours. A random sample of 64 of these light bulbs is taken. The probability is 0.20 that the sample mean lifetime is more than how many hours?
A. 1652.
B. 1725.
C. 1752.
D. 1670.

Answers

Answer:

1742 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Single light:

Mean of 1700 hours and standard deviation of 400 hours, which means that [tex]\mu = 1700, \sigma = 400[/tex]

Sample of 64:

This means that [tex]n = 64, s = \frac{400}{\sqrt{64}} = 50[/tex]

The probability is 0.20 that the sample mean lifetime is more than how many hours?

This is the 100 - 20 = 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]0.84 = \frac{X - 1700}{50}[/tex]

[tex]X - 1700 = 50*0.84[/tex]

[tex]X = 1700 + 50*0.84[/tex]

[tex]X = 1742[/tex]

If 3+a=4-b and 4+b=7+a, what is 3-a?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

3+a=4-b

4+b=7+a

a=1-b

4+b=7+1-b

2b=4

b=2

a=1-2= -1

3-a= 3- -1= 3+1=4

3-a=4

Answer:

The answer is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to form simultaneous equations :

[tex]3 + a = 4 - b[/tex]

[tex]a + b = 1 - - - (1)[/tex]

[tex]4 + b = 7 + a[/tex]

[tex]a - b = - 3 - - - (2)[/tex]

Next, you have to solve it :

[tex](1) - (2)[/tex]

[tex]a + b - (a - b) = 1 - ( - 3)[/tex]

[tex]2b = 4[/tex]

[tex]b = 2[/tex]

[tex]sub \: \: b \: = 2 \: \: into \: \: (1)[/tex]

[tex]a + 2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]a = 1 - 2[/tex]

[tex]a = - 1[/tex]

Lastly, you have to substitute a-value into the expression :

[tex]3 - a = 3 - ( - 1) = 4[/tex]

What is the difference between the greatest and the smallest rational numbers
given below?

7/15,11/20,2/5,12/25

Answers

Answer:

The difference between the greatest and smallest rational number   [tex]=\frac{3}{20}[/tex]              

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the rational numbers

[tex]\frac{7}{15} , \frac{11}{20} ,\frac{2}{5} ,\frac{12}{25}[/tex]

we have to find that the difference between the greatest and the smallest rational numbers

solution:-

The greatest rational number  =  [tex]\frac{11}{20}[/tex]

Convert into decimal = 0.55

The smallest rational number = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Convert into decimal = 0.4

The difference between the greatest and smallest rational number

                     [tex]= \frac{11}{20} - \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

                     = [tex]\frac{11-8}{20}[/tex]

                    [tex]=\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

wall=7

distance=4

Pythagorean theorem

7^2+4^2=L^2

49+16=L^2

65=L^2

L=8.062 feet

The required length of the ladder is given as 8.06 feet.

What are Pythagorean triplets?  

In a right-angled triangle, its sides, such as hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base are Pythagorean triplets.

here,
As mentioned in the question,
perpendicular length = 7, base length = 4 feet,
Let the length of the ladder be x,
Following the Pythagoras theorem,
x² = 7 ² + 4²
x ² = 49 + 16
x² = 65
x = √65
x = 8.06

Thus, the required length of the ladder is given as 8.06 feet.

Find two numbers whose sum is 8 and whose product is 17​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 8

y = 8-x

xy = 17

x(8-x)  = 17

8x - x² = 17

x² - 8x + 17 = 0

Quadratic formula

x = [8 ± √(8² – 4·1·17)] / [2·1]

 = [8 ± √(-4)] / 2

 = [8 ± 2i] /2

 = 4±i

x = 4+i

y = 4-i

A quadratic equation is written in the form of ax²+bx+c. The two numbers whose sum is 8 and whose product is 17​ are (4+i) and (4-i).

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an equation whose leading coefficient is of second degree also the equation has only one unknown while it has 3 unknown numbers. It is written in the form of ax²+bx+c.

Let the first number be 'a' and the second number be 'b'. Therefore, the sum of the two numbers is,

a+b=8

The product of the two numbers is,

ab=17

b=17/a

now, the equation can be written as,

a+b=8

a+(17/a)=8

a² + 17 = 8a

a²-8a+17=0

a = 4±i

Hence, the two numbers whose sum is 8 and whose product is 17​ are (4+i) and (4-i).

Answer:

  c = 6√2

  d = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of any isosceles triangle (opposite the congruent angles) are congruent. Hence c = 6√2.

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is √2 times the side length, so ...

  d = c√2 = (6√2)(√2) = 6·2

  d = 12

__

If you don't believe that, you can always use the Pythagorean theorem to find d:

  d^2 = (6√2)^2 +c^2

  d^2 = 72 +72 . . . . . . . . . since c=6√2

  d = √144

  d = 12

Elena is designing a paint can with thickness ttt millimeters and height hhh centimeters. She calculates that the thickness of the can in milimeters must be at least 0.1, point, 1 times the height of the can in centimeters in order to withstand pressure. Due to cost constraints, the cost of material used, (0.2 + t+ 0.5h)cents, must be at most 12.2, point, 2 cents. Which system of inequalities best models the relationship between height and thickness?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t \ge h[/tex] and [tex]t + 0.5h \le 12.0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]t= thickness[/tex]

[tex]h =height[/tex]

From the first statement, we have that:

[tex]t\ mm \ge 0.1 * h\ cm[/tex]

Convert mm to cm

[tex]t\ * 0.1*cm \ge 0.1 * h\ cm[/tex]

[tex]t\ *0.1 \ge 0.1 * h[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.1

[tex]t \ge h[/tex]

From the second statement, we have that:

[tex]Cost \le 12.2[/tex]

Substitute 0.2 + t + 0.5h for Cost

[tex]0.2 + t + 0.5h \le 12.2[/tex]

Collect Like Terms:

[tex]t + 0.5h \le 12.2-0.2[/tex]

[tex]t + 0.5h \le 12.0[/tex]

So, the inequalities are:

[tex]t \ge h[/tex] and [tex]t + 0.5h \le 12.0[/tex]
