The Western inventory was written by 4 different authors. Author A wrote 1/4 of the books, author b wrote 5/16 of the books, and author c write 3/8 of the books. What part of the inventory did author D write?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Author D write 1/16 of the total number of books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of books be b.  Then the amounts written by the four authors would be represented by:

(1/4)A

(5/16)A

(3/8)A

( ? )A

Add these together, realizing that the LCD here is 16:

(4/16)A

(5/16)A

(6/16)A

( ? )  A

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

(15/16)A must then equal the remainder of the work:  (16/16)A

Thus, Author D wrote (1/16)A of the books.  (Note that 4/16 + 5/16 + 6/16 + 1/16 = 1)

Author D write 1/16 of the total number of books.

If you take a sample of 9 pacemakers from the company, what is the probability that the mean lifetime of components in this sample will be longer than 99 months

Answers

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.9878 = 98.78% probability that the mean lifetime of components in this sample will be longer than 99 months.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It 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, which is the percentile of X. By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

In this problem:

The mean is of 9 years, hence, in months, [tex]\mu = 9(12) = 108[/tex]The standard deviation is of 1 year, hence, in months, [tex]\sigma = 12[/tex].Sample of 9 pacemakers, hence [tex]n = 9, s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{9}} = 4[/tex].

The probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 99, hence:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{99 - 108}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.25[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.25[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0122.

1 - 0.0122 = 0.9878.

0.9878 = 98.78% probability that the mean lifetime of components in this sample will be longer than 99 months.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \frac{4}{(g + 4) ^{2} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the expressions that are not already factored in g/ + 4g.

[tex] \frac{g}{g(g + 4)} - \frac{g}{(g + 4) ^{2} } [/tex]

Cancel out g in both numerator and denominator.

[tex] \frac{1}{g + 4} - \frac{g}{(g + 4) ^{2} } [/tex]

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of g+4 and (g+4)² is (g+4)². Multiply 1/g + 4 times g + 4/g + 4.

[tex] \frac{g + 4}{(g + 4) ^{2} } - \frac{g}{(g + 4) ^{2} } [/tex]

Since g + 4/(g + 4)² and g/( g + 4) have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

[tex] \frac{g + 4 - g}{(g + 4) ^{2} } [/tex]

Combine like terms in g+4−g.

[tex] \frac{4}{(g + 4) ^{2} } [/tex]

Expand (g + 4)².

[tex] \frac{4}{g^{2} + 8g + 16 } [/tex]

On his bike, Jason can travel 8 miles in 50 minutes.
At this rate, how far can Jason travel in 150 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

50 minutes = 8 miles

100 miles = 16 miles

150 minutes = 24 miles

Answer:

Jason can travel 24 miles in 150 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

8= miles. 50&150= mins

8=50.

Your trying to find how many miles Jason can travel in 150 mins. So your going to divide the new amount of minutes to the old amount.

150÷50= 3.

So since 50 can go into 150 3 full times that means you will multiply the original amount of miles by 3 to get your new amount.

3×8= 24

So, if Jason can travel 8 miles in 50 mins (8=50) Then, he can travel 24 miles in 150 mins (24=150)

What is the slope of the line?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

you know what the slope of the line is ? it is the inclination of the line. how strongly is it going up or down, or is it maybe flat ?

in the formulas the slope is always the factor of x. the slope is excised as ratio of y coordinate change / x coordinate change when going from one point to another.

we see here 2 clear points in my opinion :

(0, -3) and (3, 0)

that is where the line crosses the y and the coordinate axis.

so, going from (0, -3) to (3, 0) :

x changes by +3 (from 0 to 3)

y changes by +3 (from -3 to 0).

so, the slope is

+3/+3 = 1

what percentage of this grid is shaded

how many more squares need to be shaded so that 60% of the grid is shaded?

Answers

Answer:

44%, and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The grid has 5 rows and 5 columns so we have 5*5 = 25 squares.

25 squares represent 100 %  of the grid

a) In the grid 11 of the 25 total squares are blue, so if

25 squares are 100%

11 squares will be x%

x= (11* 100) / 25 = 1100/ 25 = 44 %

b) we find the number of squares that gives us 60 %

25 squares are 100%

x squares will be 60%

x= (60*25)/ 100 = 15

The question is " How many more squares " so we have to compare with the 11 given ones in part a)

15 -11 = 4

4 more squares will give 60 %  blue grid.  

The answer should be 25 squares is 100 percent
