scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled solution a and solution b. solution a is 60% salt and solution b is 85% salt. she wants to obtain 140 ounces of mixture that is 80% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We have 60% salt and 85% salt solutions and we need 140 ounces of a solution that is 80% salt.

We set up 2 equations:

A) x + y = 140

B) .60x + .85y = .80 * 140

Multiply equation A) by -.60

A) -.60x -.60y = -84  then we add this to B)

B) .60x + .85y = 112

.25y = 28

y = 112 ounces of 85% salt

x = 28 ounces of 60% salt.

Double Check

112 * .85 = 95.2 AND 28 * .60 = 16.80

95.2 + 16.80 = 112

and 112/140 = 80 per cent!!

Answer:

8. -2a+14

9. w=3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8.

The distributive property states that we can multiply each component in the parenthesis separately by the number on the outside, and then add that up to get our final answer.

For -2(a-7), this means that we can multiply -2 by a and then -2 by -7 (as 2 is the number on the outside, and a and -7 are the components in the parenthesis), add them up, and get our answer. This can be expressed as

-2 * a + (-2) * (-7) = final answer

= -2 * a + 14

We know that -2 * -7 = 14 because 2 * 7 = 14, and the two negatives in multiplication cancel each other out

9.

Using the subtraction property of equality, we can isolate the variable (w) and its coefficient (-2/3) by subtracting 5, resulting in

(-2/3)w = 4-5 = -1

Next, we can use the multiplication property of equality to isolate the w. To isolate the w, we can multiply its coefficient by its reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over. For (-2/3), its reciprocal is (-3/2), flipping the 2 and 3. We can multiply both sides by (-3/2) to get

w = (-3/2)

To check this, we can plug (-3/2) for w in our original equation, so

(-2/3) * (-3/2) + 5 = 4

-1 + 5 = 4

4 = 4

This works!

A teacher designs a test so a student who studies will pass94% of the time, but a student who does not studywill pass14% of the time. A certain student studies for91% of the tests taken. On a given test, what is theprobability that student passes

Answers

Answer:

0.868 = 86.8% probability that the student passes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of the student passing:

94% of 91%(when the student studies for the test).

14% of 100 - 91 = 9%(when the student does not study for the test). So

[tex]p = 0.94*0.91 + 0.14*0.09 = 0.868[/tex]

0.868 = 86.8% probability that the student passes.

Jerod hopes to earn $1200 in interest in 4.9 years time from $24,000 that he has available to invest. To decide if it's feasible to do this by investing In an account that compounds monthly, he needs to determine the annual interest rate such an account would have to offer for him to meet his goal. What would the annual rate of interest have to be? Round to two decimal places

Answers

Answer:

The annual interest rate would have to be of 0.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Jerod hopes to earn $1200 in interest in 4.9 years time from $24,000 that he has available to invest.

This means that:

[tex]A(4.9) = 1200 + 24000 = 25200[/tex]

[tex]t = 4.9[/tex]

[tex]P = 24000[/tex]

Compounded monthly:

This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex]

What would the annual rate of interest have to be?

We have to solve for r, so:

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]25200 = 24000(1 + \frac{r}{12})^{12*4.9}[/tex]

[tex](1 + \frac{r}{12})^{12*4.9} = \frac{25200}{24000}[/tex]

[tex](1 + \frac{r}{12})^{58.8} = 1.05[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[58.8]{(1 + \frac{r}{12})^{58.8}} = \sqrt[58.8]{1.05}[/tex]

[tex]1 + \frac{r}{12} = (1.05)^{\frac{1}{58.8}}[/tex]

[tex]1 + \frac{r}{12} = 1.00083[/tex]

[tex]\frac{r}{12} = 0.00083[/tex]

[tex]r = 12*0.00083[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.001 [/tex]

The annual interest rate would have to be of 0.1%.

There are 52 cards in a deck, and 13 of them are hearts. Four cards are dealt, one at a time, off the top of a well-shuffled deck. What is the percent chance that a heart turns up on the fourth card, but not before

Answers

Answer:

10.97%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards.

13 of them, are hearts.

Then

52 - 13 = 39 cards are not hearts.

4 cards are drawn, we want to find the percent chance that the fourth card is a heart card, but no before.

So the first card can't be a heart card.

because the deck is well-shuffled, all the cards have the same probability of being drawn.

Then the probability of not getting a heart card, is equal to the quotient between the number of non-heart cards (39) and the total number of cards (52), then the probability is:

p₁ = 39/52

The second card also can't be a heart card, the probability is calculated in the same way than above, but now there are 38 non-heart cards and a total of 51 cards (because one card was already drawn) then the probability here is:

p₂ = 38/51

For the third card the reasoning is similar to the two above cases, here the probability is:

p₃ = 37/50

The fourth card should be a hearts card, the probability is computed in the same way than above, as the quotient between the number of heart cards in the deck (13) and the total number of cards in the deck (now there are 49 cards)

then the probability is:

p₄ = 13/49

The joint probability (the probability of these 4 events happening together) is equal to the product between the individual probabilities:

P = p₁*p₂*p₃*p₄

P = (39/52)*(38/51)*(37/50)*(13/49) = 0.1097

The percent chance is the above number times 100%

Percent =  0.1097*100% = 10.97%

How do you expand ln(1/49^k)

Answers

Answer:

There are a few rules that we can use here:

ln(a^x) = x*ln(a)

ln(a) - ln(b) = ln(a/b)

ln(1) = 0

So here we want to expand:

ln(1/49^k)

First we can use the second property to get:

ln(1/49^k) = ln(1) - ln(49^k)

using the third property, we have:

ln(1/49^k) = ln(1) - ln(49^k) = 0 - ln(49^k)

ln(1/49^k) =  - ln(49^k)

Now we can use the first property to get:

ln(1/49^k) =  - k*ln(49)

Now we can use the fact that:

49 = 7*7 = 7^2

then:

- k*ln(49) = -k*ln(7^2) = -2*k*ln(7)

So we have:

ln(1/49^k) = (-2*ln(7))*k

We can expand it anymore because this is a real number  "(-2*ln(7))" times a variable k.

Answer:

Unit rate = 12 computers per day

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the unit rate of computers sold per day using the graph, we need to obtain the slope of the graph, which is the change in y per change in x

That is ; the gradient ;

Slope = change in y / change in x

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

y2 = 60 ; y1 = 36 ; x2 = 5 ; x1 = 3

Slope = (60 - 36) / (5 - 3) = 24 / 2 = 12

Slope = 12

Unit rate = 12 computers per day

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, vector stands in the 4th Quadrant ([tex]x > 0[/tex], [tex]y < 0[/tex]) and direction of the vector ([tex]\theta[/tex]) in sexagesimal degrees, is determined by following definition:

value of the policy?

Answers

Answer:

- 27.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of earthquake = 0.0012

P(earthquake). = 0.0012

P(no earthquake) = 1 - p(earthquake) = 1 - 0.0012 = 0.9988

X ____ 60,000 ______ - 100

P(X) ___ 0.0012 _____ 0.9988

The expected value of the policy :

E(X) = Σx*p(x)

E(X) = (0.0012 * 60000) + (0.9988 * - 100)

E(X) = 72 - 99.88

E(X) = - 27.88

(b) Using a calculator, find the actual error in measuring volume if the radius was really 6.5 cm instead of 6 cm, and find the actual error if the radius was actually 5.5 cm instead of 6 cm. Compare these errors to the answer you got using differentials.

Answers

Answer:

A)   ± 54 cm^3 ( maximum possible error in volume )

B) i) 58.625 cm^3  ii) 49.625 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A) using differential

edge of cube = 6 cm ,  maximum possible error = 0.5 cm

∴ side of cube ( x )= ± 0.5 cm

V = volume of cube

dv /dx = d(x)^3 / dx

∴ dv  = 3x^2 dx ---- ( 1 )

input values into 1

dv = 3(6)^2 * ( ± 0.5 )

    = ± 54 cm^3 ( maximum possible error in volume )

B) Using calculator

actual error in measuring volume when

i) radius = 6.5 cm instead of  6 cm

V1= ( 6.5)^3 = 274.625 ,  V = ( 6)^3 = 216

actual error = 274.625 - 216 = 58.625 cm^3

ii) radius = 5.5cm instead of 6cm

actual error = 49.625 cm^3

The usual metric measure of vehicle fuel efficiency is liters per 100 km. Greater efficiency is indicated by a lower value.

In the US, the measure is usually miles per gallon. Greater efficiency is indicated by a higher value. Since we want the efficiency expressed in miles per gallon, we need to divide distance by fuel consumption.

  (distance)/(fuel used) = (100 km)/(10 L)

  = (100 km)/(10 L) × (1 mi)/(1.6 km) × (3.8 L)/(1 gal) = (100×3.8)/(10×1.6) mi/gal

Consider an x distribution with standard deviation o = 34.

large does the sample size need to be?
B) If specifications for a research project require the standard error of the corresponding x distribution to be 1, how large does the sample size need to be?

Answers

Part (a)

The standard error (SE) formula is

[tex]\text{SE} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\[/tex]

where n is the sample size. We're given SE = 2 and sigma = 34, so,

[tex]\text{SE} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\2 = \frac{34}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\2\sqrt{n} = 34\\\\\sqrt{n} = \frac{34}{2}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 17\\\\n = 17^2\\\\n = 289\\\\[/tex]

So we need a sample size of n = 289 to have an SE value of 2.

Answer: 289

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

Part (b)

We'll use SE = 1 this time

[tex]\text{SE} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\1 = \frac{34}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\1*\sqrt{n} = 34\\\\\sqrt{n} = 34\\\\n = 34^2\\\\n = 1156\\\\[/tex]

Because we require greater precision (i.e. a smaller SE value), the sample size must be larger to account for this. In other words, as SE goes down, then n must go up, and vice versa.
