Answer: 3 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two metals:
One that contains 20% nickel, let's call it metal A.
One that contains 80% nickel, let's call it metal B.
We have 6 pounds of metal B, in those 6 punds we have:
0.80*6lb = 4.8lb of nickel.
Now, if we add X pounds of metal A, then we will have:
X + 6lb in total weight.
4.8lb + 0.2*X of nickel.
And we want to have exactly 60% of nickel, so we must have that the quotient between the amount of nickel and the total weight is equal to 0.6
(4.8lb + 0.2*X)/(6lb + X) = 0.6
now we solve it for X:
(4.8lb + 0.2*X) = 0.6*(6lb + X) = 3.6lb + 0.6*X
4.8lb - 3.6lb = 0.6*X - 0.2*X
1.2lb = 0.4*X
1.2lb/0.4 = 3lb = X
We should use 3 pounds of the metal with 20% of nickel.

ax-5d=3cx-2+7
Answers
Answer:
x = (5 +5d)/(a -3c)
Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe you're to solve for x.
__
This is a typical "3-step" linear equation.
First, you collect terms with the variable x on one side of the equation. You do that by subtracting from both sides the x-term you don't want where it is.
We choose to remove the 3cx term from the right side, so we subtract it from both sides.
ax -3cx -5d = 3cx -3cx +5 . . . . . . we have combined the constants, too
x(a -3c) -5d = 5 . . . . . . simplify and factor out x
Second, you remove any terms not containing x from the side of the equation with the x-terms. You do that by adding their opposite to both sides of the equation.
We need to remove the -5d term, so we add 5d to both sides.
x(a -3c) -5d +5d = 5 +5d
x(a -3c) = 5 +5d . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Third, we divide by the coefficient of x. We do that to both sides of the equation. We had to put parentheses around the terms on the right, because we're dividing the whole right side of the equation by (a-3c).
x(a -3c)/(a -3c) = (5 +5d)/(a -3c)
x = (5 +5d)/(a -3c)

A normal population has a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 13. You select a random sample of 25. Compute the probability that the sample mean is: (Round your z values to 2 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places): Greater than 69.
Answers
Answer:
0.0618
Step-by-step explanation:
z = (x - μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score = 69
μ is the sample mean = population mean = 65
σ is the sample standard deviation
This is calculated as:
= Population standard deviation/√n
Where n = number of samples = 25
σ = 13/√25
σ = 13/5 = 2.6
Sample standard deviation = 2.6
z = (69 - 65) / 2.6
z = 4/2.6
z = 1.53846
Approximately to 2 decimal places = 1.54
Using the z score table to determine the probability,
P(x = 69) = P(z = 1.54)
= 0.93822.
The probability that the sample mean is greater than 69 is
P(x>Z) = 1 - 0.93822
P(x>Z) = 0.06178
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.0618

Explain how to perform a two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with known.
Answers
Answer:
The steps 1-7 have been explained
Step-by-step explanation:
The steps are;
1) We will verify that the population standard deviations are known and that the population is normally distributed which means the sample size must be a minimum of 30.
2) We will state the null and alternative hypothesis
3) We will determine the critical values from the relevant tables
4) From the critical values gotten, we will determine it's corresponding region where it can be rejected.
5)We will calculate the value of the test statistic from the formula;
z = [(x1' - x2') - (μ1 - μ2)]/√[((σ1)²/n1) + ((σ2)²/n2)]
6) If the value of the test statistic gotten from step 5 above falls in the region of rejection noted in step 4,then we will reject the null hypothesis
7) After rejection of the null hypothesis, we will now give a decision/conclusion on the claim.

Prove that if n is an integer, these four statements are equivalent: (i) n is even, (ii) n 1 is odd, (iii) 3n 1 is odd, (iv) 3n is even.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
If n is even, it means that we can find k integer such that n = 2 * k.
Then n+1=2*k+1 is odd.
3n+1=6k+1=2*(3k)+1 where 3k is an integer so 3n+1 is odd.
3n = 2*(3k) is even.
Besides, if n+1 is odd we can find an integer p so that n+1=2p+1 so n = 2p is even.
3n+1 is odd means that we can find an integer q such that 3n+1=2q+1 so 3n=2q as 3 is not dividable by 2, it means that n is a multiple of 2, then n is even.
3n is even means that we can write 3n = 2z where z is an integer and again it means that n is a multiple of 2 and then n is even.

The average age of a part-time seasonal employee at a Vail Resorts ski mountain has historically been 37 years.

At the 5 percent level of significance, does this sample show that the average age was different in 2010? b. Which is the right hypotheses to test the statement?c. What are the test statistic and critical value?
Answers
Answer:
No the sample does not show that the average age was different in 2010
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 50
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 38.5[/tex]
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 37[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 5 \% = 0.05[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 37[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 37[/tex]
The critical value of the level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is ([tex]Z_{\alpha } = 1.645[/tex] )
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{ 38.5 - 37}{ \frac{16}{\sqrt{50} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.663[/tex]
Now looking at the value t and [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] we see that [tex]t < Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
This mean that there is no sufficient evidence to state that the sample shows that the average age was different in 2010

A mechanic charges $125 plus $25 per hour of labor. The equation c=25n+125
describes the total she would charge for a service visit, where n represents the number of
hours of labor and c is the total cost. Graph the equation and using the graph, find how
much he charges when she works 3 hours.
Answers
Answer:
See Attachment for graph
Charges = $200 when number of she works for 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Charges = $25 per hour + $125 (c = 25n + 125)
Required
Graph the equation.
From the graph, determine c when n = 3
To plot the graph; first, we have to determine the points to use;
When n = 1
[tex]c = 25 * 1 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 25 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 150[/tex]
When n = 2
[tex]c = 25 * 2 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 50 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 175[/tex]
When n = 3
[tex]c = 25 * 3 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 75 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 200[/tex]
When n = 4
[tex]c = 25 * 4 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 100 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 225[/tex]
Plotting n on the x axis and c on the y axis; we have
c || n
1 || 150
2 || 175
3 || 200
4 || 225
(See attachment)
From the attachment;
When she works for 3 hour; This implies that n = 3
And c = $200 when n = 3
See Proof
[tex]c = 25n + 125[/tex]
Substitute 3 for n
[tex]c = 25 * 3 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 75 + 125[/tex]
[tex]c = 200[/tex]

Answers
Answer:
a) What is the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap?
$10.99
b) What is the cost of one order of spiced potatoes?
$4.99
c) If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes,
Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = x
Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = y
Ms. Ironperson ordered 3 chicken shawarma wraps and 2 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $42.95.
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
Mr. Thoro ordered 5 chicken shawarma wraps and 4 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $74.91.
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2
Hence, the Equations needed to solve the question is:
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2
We use Elimination method to solve for this.
Multiply Equation 1 by coefficient of x in Equation 2
Equation 2 by coefficient of x in Equation 1
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1 × 5
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2 × 3
15x + 10y = 214.75..............Equation 3
15x + 12y = 224.73..............Equation 4
Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4
2y = 9.98
y = 9.98/2
y = 4.99
Therefore, y = Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99
Subtitute 4.99 for y in Equation 1
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
3x +2(4.99) = 42.95
3x + 9.98 = 42.95
3x = 42.95 - 9.98
3x = 32.97
x = 32.97/3
x = 10.99
x = Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99
Therefore,
The cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99
The cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's compare the two values of 12/16 and 3/4.
Notice that 12/16 isn't a simplified fraction; both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4. So divide the top and bottom by 4:
12 / 4 = 3
16 / 4 = 4

From her purchased bags, Rory counted 110 red candies out of 550 total candies. Using a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, what are the lower and upper limit of the interval? Answer choices are rounded to the thousandths place.
Answers
Answer:
The Confidence Interval = (0.172, 0.228)
Where:
The lower limit = 0.172
The upper limit = 0.228
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to be applied or used to solve this question is :
Confidence Interval formula for proportion.
The formula is given as :
p ± z × √[p(1 - p)/n]
n = Total number of red candies = 550 red candles
p = proportion = Number of red candies counted/ Total number of red candies
= 110/550 = 1/5 = 0.2
z = z score for the given confidence interval.
We are given a confidence interval of 90%. Therefore, the z score = 1.6449
Confidence Interval = p ± z × √[p(1 - p)/n]
Confidence Interval = 0.2 ± 1.6449 × √[0.2(1 - 0.2)/550]
= 0.2 ± 1.6449 √0.2 × 0.8/550
= 0.2 ± 1.6449 × 0.0170560573
= 0.2 ± 0.0280555087
Hence, the Confidence Interval = 0.2 ± 0.0280555087
0.2 - 0.0280555087 = 0.1719444913
Approximately = 0.172
0.2 + 0.0280555087 = 0.2280555087
Approximately = 0.228
Therefore, the Confidence Interval = (0.172, 0.228)
Where:
The lower limit = 0.172
The upper limit = 0.228
Answer:
Lower Limit: 0.172
Upper Limit: 0.228

A detective knows what time of day it is based on the angle at which the sun is hitting a man. Suppose a detective is looking at a photograph of a 6-foot tall man with a shadow that is 3.5 feet. Find the angle at which the sun is hitting the ground.
Answers
Answer:
The angle [tex]\theta[/tex] at which the sun is hitting the ground is:
[tex]\theta\approx 59.74^o[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use right angle trigonometry to solve this, since the man (6 ft tall) and the shadow on the ground (3.5 ft long) form a right angle triangle as shown on the attached image.
The use the tangent function to find the angle that the sun's rays make with the ground:
[tex]tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan(\theta)=\frac{6}{3.5} \\\theta=arctan(\frac{6}{3.5})\\\theta\approx 59.74^o[/tex]

Answer:
x≈13.08
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the pythagora's theorem
[tex]a^{2} +b^2=c^2\\a=5\\b=x\\c=14\\5^2+x^2=14^2\\x^2=196-25\\x^2=171\\x=3\sqrt{19} =13.08[/tex]
