Daisy has 1/8 tank of gas remaining when she pulls into a gas station. After she puts 15 gallons of gas in her car, the gas gauge reads 3/4 full. How many gallons of gas does Daisy’s tank hold?

*Please Show Work*

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the volume of the tank in gallons. Then we have ...

  (1/8)t + 15 = (3/4)t . . . . . . . . . . . adding 15 gallons fills the tank to 3/4

  15 = (6/8 -1/8)t = (5/8)t . . . . . . . subtract 1/8t

  15(8/5) = (8/5)(5/8)t . . . . . . . . . multiply by 8/5 (the inverse of 5/8)

  24 = t

The tank holds 24 gallons.

The mean of the data set(9,5,y,2,x) is twice the data set(8,x,4,1,3).what is (y-x)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y-x = 16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Set 1: (9,5,y,2,x)

Set 2: (8,x,4,1,3)

Required

(y - x)

First the mean values of set 1 and set 2 has to be calculated

For set 1

[tex]Mean _1 = \frac{(9+5+y+2+x)}{5}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]Mean _1 = \frac{9+5+2+y+x}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Mean _1 = \frac{16+ y+x}{5}[/tex]

For set 2

[tex]Mean _2 = \frac{(8+x+4+1+3)}{5}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]Mean _2 = \frac{8+4+1+3+x}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Mean _2= \frac{16+ x}{5}[/tex]

Given that the mean of set 1 is twice the mean of set 2;

[tex]Mean_1 = 2Mean_2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{16+ y+x}{5} =2 * \frac{16+x}{5}[/tex]

Multiply both sided by 5

[tex]5 * \frac{16+ y+x}{5} = 5 * 2 * \frac{16+x}{5}[/tex]

[tex]16+ y+x = 2 * (16+x)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]16+ y+x = 32 + 2x[/tex]

Subtract 16 from both sides

[tex]16+ y+x- 16 = 32 + 2x - 16[/tex]

[tex]16 - 16 + y+x = 32 - 16 + 2x[/tex]

[tex]y+x = 16 + 2x[/tex]

Subtract 2x from both sides

[tex]y+x-2x = 16 + 2x-2x[/tex]

[tex]y-x = 16[/tex]

Triangle QRS is dilated according to the rule DO,2 (x,y). On a coordinate plane, (0, 0) is the center of dilation. Triangle Q R S has points (negative 3, 3), (2, 4), and (negative 1, 1). What is true about the image ΔQ'R'S'? Select three options. Which statements are true? DO,2 (x,y) = (2x, 2y) Side Q'S' lies on a line with a slope of -1. QR is longer than Q'R'. The vertices of the image are closer to the origin than those of the pre-image. The distance from Q' to the origin is twice the distance from Q to the origin.

Answers

Answer:

Options A, B and E are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given above, we would draw a dilation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original image, but has a different size.

The scale factor is 2

QRS → Q'R'S' = (x,y) → 2(x,y)

The coordinates of ∆QRS

Q (-3, 3)

R (2, 4)

S (-1, 1)

To get the coordinates of Q'R'S', we would multiply each coordinate of the original triangle by the scale factor of 2 since the dilation is from the origin. In order words, each vertex of QRS is multiplied by 2 to get each of the vertex of Q'R'S'.

2 (x,y) = (2x, 2y)

The coordinates of ∆Q'R'S' becomes:

Q' (-6, 6)

R' (4, 8)

S' (-2, 2)

To determine the statements that are true about the image ΔQ'R'S,

we would graph the coordinates of the two triangles.

Starting with ΔABC, we would draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of 2.

See attached the diagram for better explanation.

Let's check out each options and compare it with diagram we obtained:

a) DO, 2 (x,y) = (2x, 2y)

A dilation about the origin with a scale factor 2 is described using the above notation.

Q' = 2(-3,3) = [2(-3), 2(3)] = (-6, 6)

R' (4, 8) = 2(2,4) = [2(2), 2(4)] = (4, 8)

S' (-2, 2) = 2(-1,1) = [2(-1), 2(1)] = (-2, 2)

This option is correct

b) Side Q'S' lies on a line with a slope of -1

Q' (-6, 6)

S' (-2, 2)

coordinate (x, y)

Slope = m = (change in y)/(change in x)

m = (6-2)/[-6-(-2)]

= 4/(-6+2) = 4/-4

m = -1

This option is correct

c) QR is longer than Q'R'

Length of QR (-3 to 2) = 5

Length of Q'R' (-6 to 4) = 10

QR is not longer than Q'R'

This option is false

d) The vertices of the image are closer to the origin than those of the pre-image

The scale factor determines how much bigger or smaller the dilation image will be compared to the preimage. In a transformation, the final figure is referred to as the image. The original figure is referred to as the preimage.

From the diagram, the vertices of the preimage (original image) are closer to the origin than those of the dilation image.

This option is false

e) The distance from Q' to the origin is twice the distance from Q to the origin.

The distance from Q' to the origin (6 to 0) = 6

The distance from Q to the origin (3 to 0) = 3

The distance from Q' to the origin = 2(the distance from Q to the origin)

This option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A company manager for a tire manufacturer is in charge of making sure there is the least amount of defective tires. If the tire manufacturing process is working properly, the average weight of a tire for a 4-door sedan is normally distributed with a mean of 22 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.76 pounds. The manager decides to reject a tire as underweight if it falls more than 1.5 interquartile ranges below the lower quartile of the specified shipment of tires. What proportion of tires will be rejected by this process?

Answers

Answer:

0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a standard normal distribution, (with mean 0 and standard deviation 1), the lower and upper quartiles are located at -0.67448 and +0.67448 respectively. Thus the interquartile range (IQR) is 1.34896.

And the manager decides to reject a tire as underweight if it falls more than 1.5 interquartile ranges below the lower quartile of the specified shipment of tires.

1.5 of the Interquartile range = 1.5 × 1.34896 = 2.02344

1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range) = -0.67448 - 2.02344 = -2.69792

The proportion of tires that will fall 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = P(x < -2.69792) ≈ P(x < -2.70)

Using data from the normal distribution table

P(x < -2.70) = 0.00347 = 0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight

Hope this Helps!!!

The proportion of the tires that would be denied for being underweight through the given process would be:

[tex]0.347[/tex]% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.

Given that,

Interquartile Range [tex]= 1.5[/tex]

Standard Deviation [tex]= 0.76[/tex]

Considering Mean = 0

and Standard Deviation = 1

Since lower quartile = -0.67448

Upper quartile  = +0.67448

IQ range =  1.34896

To find,

The proportion of tires would be rejected due to being underweight through the process would be:  

1.5 of Interquartile Range = 1.5 × [tex]1.34896 = 2.02344[/tex]

Now,

1.5 of the IQ range below the lower quartile [tex]= (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range)[/tex]

[tex]= -0.67448 - 2.02344[/tex]

[tex]= -2.69792[/tex]

The proportion of tires that would be under 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile:

[tex]= P(x < -2.69792)[/tex] ≈ [tex]P(x < -2.70)[/tex]

Using data through the Normal Distribution Table,

[tex]P(x < -2.70)[/tex] [tex]= 0.00347[/tex]

[tex]= 0.347[/tex]%

Thus, 0.347% of the total tires would be rejected as underweight.

the average mark of candidates in an aptitude test was 138.5 with a standard deviation of 10.6. three scores extracted from the test are 178,122,100.what is the average of the extracted scores that are extreme value

Answers

Answer:

The average of the extracted scores  = 133.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data the average mark of candidates in an aptitude test was 138.5 with a standard deviation of 10.6

mean of the aptitude test = 138.5

Standard deviation of the  aptitude test = 10.6

Given three scores extracted from the test are 178,122,100

The average of the extracted scores = ∑x / n

The average of the extracted scores

                                        = [tex]\frac{178 +122 +100}{3}[/tex]

                                        = 133.33

An automobile manufacturer is concerned about a fault in the braking mechanism of a particular model. The fault can, on rare occasions, cause a catastrophe at high speed. The distribution of the number of cars per year that will experience the catastrophe is a random variable with variance = 5.
a) What is the probability that at most 3 cars per year will experience a catastrophe?
b) What is the probability that more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Probability that at most 3 cars per year will experience a catastrophe is 0.2650.

(b) Probability that more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe is 0.9596.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distribution of the number of cars per year that will experience the catastrophe is a Poisson random variable with variance = 5.

Let X = the number of cars per year that will experience the catastrophe

SO, X ~ Poisson([tex]\lambda = 5[/tex])

The probability distribution for Poisson random variable is given by;

               [tex]P(X=x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \times \lambda^{x} }{x!} ; \text{ where} \text{ x} = 0,1,2,3,...[/tex]

where, [tex]\lambda[/tex] = Poisson parameter = 5  {because variance of Poisson distribution is [tex]\lambda[/tex] only}

(a) Probability that at most 3 cars per year will experience a catastrophe is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 3)

    P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 3)  =  P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

                   =  [tex]\frac{e^{-5} \times 5^{0} }{0!} +\frac{e^{-5} \times 5^{1} }{1!} +\frac{e^{-5} \times 5^{2} }{2!} +\frac{e^{-5} \times 5^{3} }{3!}[/tex]

                   =  [tex]e^{-5} +(e^{-5} \times 5) +\frac{e^{-5} \times 25 }{2} +\frac{e^{-5} \times 125}{6}[/tex]      

                   =  0.2650

(b) Probability that more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe is given by = P(X > 1)

               P(X > 1)  =  1 - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 1)

                             =  1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

                             =  [tex]1-\frac{e^{-5} \times 5^{0} }{0!} -\frac{e^{-5} \times 5^{1} }{1!}[/tex]

                             =  1 - 0.00674 - 0.03369

                             =  0.9596

A 45 gram sample of a substance that's used to preserve fruit and vegetables has a k-value of 0.1088

Answers

Answer:

The substance's half-life is 6.4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the half life of a substance is given by the time it takes for the substance to reduce to half of its initial amount. So in this case, where they give you the constant k (0.1088) in the exponential form:

[tex]N=N_0\,e^{-k\,*\,t}[/tex]

we can replace k by its value, and solve for the time "t" needed for the initial amount [tex]N_0[/tex] to reduce to half of its value ([tex]N_0/2[/tex]). Since the unknown resides in the exponent, to solve the equation we need to apply the natural logarithm:

[tex]N=N_0\,e^{-k\,*\,t}\\\frac{N_0}{2} =N_0\,e^{-0.1088\,*\,t}\\\frac{N_0}{2\,*N_0} =e^{-0.1088\,*\,t}\\\frac{1}{2} =e^{-0.1088\,*\,t}\\ln(\frac{1}{2} )=-0.1088\,t\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2} )}{-0.1088} \\t=6.37\,\,days[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Average waiting time = 4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From this question, we are told that the sky train is supposed to arrive every 8 minutes.

Thus, the waiting time of the passengers for the train = 8 minutes.
