Mary, Peter, and Lucy were picking chestnuts. Mary picked twice as much chestnuts than Peter. Lucy picked 2 kg more than Peter. Together the three of them picked 26 kg of chestnuts. How many kilograms did each of them pick?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Let \displaystyle xx be the amount Peter picked. Then Mary and Lucy picked \displaystyle 2x2x and \displaystyle x+2x+2, respectively. So

\displaystyle x+2x+x+2=26x+2x+x+2=26

\displaystyle 4x=244x=24

\displaystyle x=6x=6

Therefore, Peter, Mary, and Lucy picked 6, 12, and 8 kg, respectively.

Answer 2

Peter picked 6 kilograms of chestnuts.

Mary picked 12 kilograms of chestnuts.

Lucy picked 8 kilograms of chestnuts.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions. The operator that performs the arithmetic operation is called the arithmetic operator.

Let Peter pick x kilograms of chestnuts.

Given that Mary picked twice as many chestnuts as Peter

So, Mary picks 2x kilograms of chestnuts.

And Lucy picks  x + 2 kilograms of chestnuts

Together the three of them picked 26 kg of chestnuts

So, x + 2x + x + 2 = 26

4x + 2= 26

4x= 26-2

4x= 24

4x/4= 24/4

x= 6

Thus, Peter picked 6 kilograms of chestnuts.

⇒ 2x

⇒ 2 (6)

⇒ 12

Thus, Mary picked 12 kilograms of chestnuts.

⇒ x + 2

⇒ 6 + 2

⇒ 8

Thus, Lucy picked 8 kilograms of chestnuts.

Answer:  136 square feet

=======================================================

Explanation:

The front face is a triangle with base 6 and height 4.

The area is 0.5*base*height = 0.5*6*4 = 12 square feet

The back face is also 12 square feet since the front and back faces are identical triangles.

So far we have 12+12 = 24 square feet of surface area.

--------------------

The bottom face, that runs along the floor or ground, is a rectangle that is 6 ft by 7 ft. So we have 6*7 = 42 square feet of surface area here. This adds onto the 24 we found earlier to get 24+42 = 66 square feet so far.

To find the left and right upper faces, we'll need to find the length of the hypotenuse first. The 6 ft cuts in half to 3 ft. The right triangle on the left has side lengths of 4 ft and 3 ft as the two legs. Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse is 5 ft. We have a 3-4-5 right triangle.

This means the upper left face is 5 ft by 7 ft leading to an area of 5*7 = 35 square feet. The same can be said about the upper right face.

So we add on 35+35 = 70 more square feet to the 66 we found earlier to get a grand total of 70+66 = 136 square feet of surface area.

The amusement park has two plans available for the school to choose from. Plan A is listed in the table below.


Cost (per vehicle) = $10
Cost (per person) = $30


The cost of Plan B can be calculated using the formula c = $15v + $28p, where c represents the cost, v represents the number of vehicles, and p represents the number of people. The school has a budget of $7200 for the cost of tickets and parking. If 241 students are going on the field trip, which plan should the school purchase? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

the second plan should be purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

school budget is $7200

plan 1: 241 students are $30 each is

241 × 30 = $7230 which is over budget with no money for parking for the vehicles.

plan 2: 241 students are $28 each is

241 × 28 = $6748

with a budget of $7200 for the trip the amount left for parking is

$7200 - $6748 = $452

plan 2: Parking is $15 per vehicle

Therefore the remaining $452 can be used to pay for 452 ÷ 15 = 30.13 vehicles

The school should purchase Plan 2 for the field trip.

The budget of $7200 can pay for 241 tickets for students and parking for 30 vehicles

The school should purchase the second plan.

School's budget = $7200

The cost for the first plan will be:

= 241 × $30

= $7230

This is more than the school budget of $7200

For the second plan, the cost will be:

= 241 × $28

= $6748.

This is below the school budget and therefore affordable.

The school should choose the second plan as there'll be more money available for parking.

7(5a − 4) = 14 − 8a + 1

Answers

Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7(5a − 4) = 14 − 8a + 1

Distributive property ( multiply what is inside the parenthesis by 7)

7 * 5a - 7 * 4 = 14 - 8a + 1

35a - 28 = 14 - 8a + 1

Combine like terms

35a - 28 = 15 - 8a

Add 8a on both sides

35a + 8a - 28 = 15 - 8a + 8a

43a - 28 = 15

Add 28 on both sides

43a - 28 + 28 = 15 + 28

43a = 43

Divide by 43 on both sides to isolate the variable

43a/43 = 43/43

a = 1

Check

7(5a − 4) = 14 − 8a + 1

Just substitute the "a" with "1"

7(5 * 1 − 4) = 14 − 8 * 1 + 1

35 - 28 = 14 - 8 + 1

EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid. If EG=3y+19 and FH=11y-21, find the value of y.

Answers

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of the isosceles EFGH are equal. Therefore:

EG = FH

EG = 3y + 19

FH = 11y - 21

Thus:

3y + 19 = 11y - 21

Collect like terms

3y - 11y = -19 - 21

-8y = -40

Divide both sides by -8

A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 6 feet and each successive bounce is 72% of the previous bounce's height. What would be the height of the 6th bounce of the ball? Round to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answers

Answer:1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the 6th bounce of the ball will be 1.2 feet.

What is geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is found by multiplying the preceding term by the same value.

What is the formula for finding the nth term of geometric sequence?

The nth term of the geometric sequence is given by

[tex]T_{n} =ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]T_{n}[/tex] is the nth term.

r is the common ratio

a is the first term

According to the given question.

During the first bounce, height of the ball from the ground, a = 6 feet

And, the each successive bounce is 72% of the previous bounce's height.

So,

During the second bounce, the height of ball from the ground

= 72% of 6

= [tex]\frac{72}{100} (6)[/tex]

= 0.72 × 6

= 4.32 feet

During the third bounce, the height of ball from the ground

= 72% of 4.32

= [tex]\frac{72}{100} (4.32)[/tex]

= 3.11 feet

Like this we will obtain a geometric sequence 6, 4.32, 3.11, 2.23,...

And the common ratio of the geometric sequence is 0.72

Therefore,

The sixth term of the geometric sequence is given by

[tex]T_{6} = 6(0.72)^{6-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} =6(0.72)^{5}[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 6 (0.193)[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 1.16 feet[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 1.2[/tex] feet

Hence, the height of the 6th bounce of the ball will be 1.2 feet.

The mean amount purchased by a typical customer at Churchill's Grocery Store is $27.50 with a standard deviation of $7.00. Assume the distribution of amounts purchased follows the normal distribution. For a sample of 68 customers, answer the following questions

a. What is the likelihood the sample mean is at least $30.00?
b. What is the likelihood the sample mean is greater than $26.50 but less than $30.00?
c. Within what limits will 90 percent of the sample means occur?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0016 = 0.16% probability that the sample mean is at least $30.00.

b) 0.8794 = 87.94% probability that the sample mean is greater than $26.50 but less than $30.00

c) 90% of sample means will occur between $26.1 and $28.9.

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.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 27.50, \sigma = 7, n = 68, s = \frac{7}{\sqrt{68}} = 0.85[/tex]

a. What is the likelihood the sample mean is at least $30.00?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 30. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem, we have that:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{30 - 27.5}{0.85}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.94[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.94[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9984

1 - 0.9984 = 0.0016

0.0016 = 0.16% probability that the sample mean is at least $30.00.

b. What is the likelihood the sample mean is greater than $26.50 but less than $30.00?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 30 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 26.50. So

From a, when X = 30, Z has a pvalue of 0.9984

When X = 26.5

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

[tex]Z = \frac{26.5 - 27.5}{0.85}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.18[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.18[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1190

0.9984 - 0.1190 = 0.8794

0.8794 = 87.94% probability that the sample mean is greater than $26.50 but less than $30.00.

c. Within what limits will 90 percent of the sample means occur?

Between the 50 - (90/2) = 5th percentile and the 50 + (90/2) = 95th percentile, that is, Z between -1.645 and Z = 1.645

Lower bound:

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

[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 27.5}{0.85}[/tex]

[tex]X - 27.5 = -1.645*0.85[/tex]

[tex]X = 26.1[/tex]

Upper Bound:

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

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 27.5}{0.85}[/tex]

[tex]X - 27.5 = 1.645*0.85[/tex]

[tex]X = 28.9[/tex]

90% of sample means will occur between $26.1 and $28.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability distribution :

X : ___ 1 _____ 2 _____ 3 ______ 4

P(x) __0.50 __0.25 __ 0.15 ____ 0.10

The mean: E(x) = Σ(X * p(x))

= 1.85

Standard deviation = sqrt(Var(x))

Var(x) = Σ(x²*p(x)) - E(x)²

Var(x) = ((1^2*0.5) + (2^2*0.25) + (3^2*0.15) + (4^2 *0.10)) - 1.85^2

= 4.45 - 3.4225

Suppose you saved $300 dollars from a summer job. If school starts September 1, can you afford a cell phone data plan of $29.95 per month for the next year(until next September 1)?

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount saved = $300

Monthly data cost = $29.95

Number of monthly data that can be done from saving :

= amount saved / monthly data cost

= $300 / $29.95

= 10.016694

Hence, saving can only last for 10 months of data subscription.

The point P is on the unit circle. Find P(x, y) from the given information. The x-coordinate of P is 12/13 , and the y-coordinate is negative.

Answer: P( x, y ) = ( -5/13, 12/13 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

p( x, y ) is on the unit circle,

Radius of the circle must be 1

so the equation x² + y² = r²

x = 12/13 and r = 1

(12/13)² + y² = 1²

y² = 1 - (12/13)²

y = √ [ 1 - (12/13)² ]

y =  ±5/13

since the y-coordinate is negative y = -5/13

Therefore, P( x, y ) = ( -5/13, 12/13 )
