Moses is solving the problem below.

A box of spaghetti at the grocery store is purchased for $1.60 wholesale and is marked up by 60 percent. Then, the store marks down the item by 20 percent. A customer wants to buy three boxes of spaghetti. How much will the customer pay, including paying 8 percent sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Look at the table below.

Steps
Moses’s work
Step 1
1 dollar and 60 cents (1.6) = 2 dollars and 56 cents
Step 2
2 dollars and 56 cents (0.80) = 2 dollars and 5 cents
Step 3
2 dollars and 5 cents (3) = 8 dollars and 20 cents
Step 4
8 dollars and 20 cents (1.08) = 8 dollars and 86 cents

(20pts=5pts each) For parts (a)–(d) answer the questions and complete the statements in the space provided: line EC ∩ line AC ∩ line BC = C , m∠ECA=32°, m∠CEF=150°

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you didn't state what you're looking for, I will lost out all the angles in the picture instead.

Given that

∠CEF = 150°

∠ECA = 32°

∠CEA = 180 - ∠CEF(angles in a straight line)

∠CEA = 180 - 150

∠CEA = 30°

∠EAC = 180 - ∠CEA - ∠ECA(angles in a triangle)

∠EAC = 180 - 30 - 32

∠EAC = 118°

∠CAB = 180 - ∠EAC(angles in a triangle)

∠CAB = 180 - 118

∠CAB = 62°

∠ACB = ∠CEA = 30°(similar angles)

∠ABC = 180 - ∠CAB - ∠ACB(angles in a triangle)

∠ABC = 180 - 62 - 30

∠ABC = 88°

∠ECB = ∠ECA + ∠ACB(angles in a triangle)

∠ECB = 32 + 30

∠ECB = 62°

∠CEA + ∠ECB + ∠ABC = 180

30 + 62 + 88 = 180°.

Amani is calculating the slope of the trend line in the scatterplot below. On a graph, a trend line goes through points (3, 60) and (8, 41). How can Amani use the trend line to check the reasonableness of her answer? She should expect the slope to be negative because the line tilts down moving from left to right on the graph. She should expect the slope to be negative because more points are below the line than above the line. She should expect the slope to be positive because the line has a positive y-intercept. She should expect the slope to be positive because all the plotted points have positive coordinates.

Liam is a rewards member at a local restaurant. He can buy four tacos at regular price and get 5.50 off of his purchase. Zachary found a coupon to buy three tacos at regular price and get 6.50 off his total. What would the taco price x need to be in order for Liam and Zachary to spend the same amount?

Answers

Liam can buy 4 tacos at regular price and get 5.50 off of his purchase while Zachary can buy 3 tacos at regular price and get 6.50 off his total.

There is no price of the taco that makes that both of them spend the same.

Liam and Zachary buy tacos at the same place. Let "x" be the price of each taco and "y" be the total amount spent.

Liam can buy 4 tacos at regular price and get 5.50 off of his purchase.

We can represent the situation through the following linear equation.

y = 4x - 5.50   [1]

Zachary found a coupon to buy three tacos at regular price and get 6.50 off his total.

We can represent the situation through the following linear equation.

y = 3x - 6.50   [2]

We want to know the prices of the taco so that both of them spend the same amount.

We calculate it making [1] equal to [2].

4x - 5.50 = 3x - 6.50

4x - 3x = -6.50 + 5.50

x = -1.00

The taco would have cost -1.00 for both of them to spend the same. Since in reality, this is unlikely, we can say that there is no price of the taco that makes that both of them spend the same.

Liam can buy 4 tacos at regular price and get 5.50 off of his purchase while Zachary can buy 3 tacos at regular price and get 6.50 off his total.

There is no price of the taco that makes that both of them spend the same.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (5,2) and (6,10). *

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{10 - 2}{6 - 5} = 8[/tex]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this formula for calculating the slope with two points:

[tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex]

(5,2) = ([tex]x_{1}[/tex],[tex]y_{1}[/tex])

(6,10) = ([tex]x_{2}, y_{2}[/tex])

Substitute the points into the equation

10 - 2   =     8

--------         ---    = 8

6 - 5    =      1

So the slope would be 8.

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of μ= 105 and a standard deviation Ï =20 . Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 85 and 125 .

Answers

Answer:

0.68268

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

For x = 85

z = 85 - 105/20

z = -1

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 85) = 0.15866

For x = 125

z = 125 - 105/20

z = 1

Probabilty value from Z-Table:

P(x = 125) = 0.84134

The probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 85 and 125 is calculated as:

P(x = 125) - P(x = 85)

= 0.84134 - 0.15866

= 0.68268

Suppose X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2]. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.

Required:
a. Determine the mean of X.
b. Determine the variance of X
c. What is P(X < 3.7)?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 3.75

(b) 2.00083

(c) 0.4898

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2].

(a)

Compute the mean of X as follows:

[tex]\mu_{X}=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{1.3+6.2}{2}=3.75[/tex]

(b)

Compute the variance of X as follows:

[tex]\sigm^{2}_{X}=\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}=\frac{(6.2-1.3)^{2}}{12}=2.00083[/tex]

(c)

Compute the value of P(X < 3.7) as follows:

[tex]P(X < 3.7)=\int\limits^{3.7}_{1.3}{\frac{1}{6.2-1.3}}\, dx\\\\=\frac{1}{4.9}\times [x]^{3.7}_{1.3}\\\\=\frac{3.7-1.3}{4.9}\\\\\approx 0.4898[/tex]

Thus, the value of P(X < 3.7)  is 0.4898.

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

2y - 4x = 12   be equation (1)

On simplifying the equation , we get

Adding 4x on both sides of the equation , we get

2y = 4x + 12

Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation , we get

y = 2x + 6

Hence , the equation is y = 2x + 6
