Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = (summation of all the numbers)/the total number of the given data
(summation of all the numbers)
= 3.5+5.5+0+5+x
(summation of all the numbers)
= 14+x
the total number of the given data
=5
Mean= 5
Mean= (summation of all the numbers)/the total number of the given data
5= (14+x)/5
25= 14+x
25-14=x
11= x
5 red balls, 2 white balls and 3 blue balls are arranged in a row. If the balls of the same color are not distinguished from each other. How many possible ways can they be ordered?
Answer:
27720
Step-by-step explanation:
So let's assume that in any arrangement we are not able to distinguish the balls having the same colour, so only different orders of the colours involved are counted.
If we number these balls we have 12 different numbers, 3 of which belong to the white balls, 4 belong to the blue balls and the final 5 belong to the red balls. They could be arranged in 12! different ways. Pick any of these arrangements.
The white balls in this arrangement are now ordered because I gave these balls a number. But I specifically stated in the first alinea that we were not interested in all these possible orders of the white balls within a sequence of 12 balls. So we must correct for these orders, there are 3! of these, each one leading to exactly the same visual order of white balls. The other colours lead to a correction of 4! and 5!. Moreover, these corrections are independent of each other. I can change the position of the white balls without interrupting the order of the colours of the remaining balls. So we should divide by the product of 3!,4! and 5!.
Total number of arrangement = 3,628,800
Arrangement based problem:Given that;
Number of red ball = 5
Number of white ball = 2
Number of blur ball = 3
Find:
Total number of arrangement
Computation:
Total number of balls = 5 + 2 + 3
Total number of balls = 10
Total number of arrangement = 10!
Total number of arrangement = 3,628,800

Answer: Edmentum and Plato
Step-by-step explanation:
For the statement? below, write the claim as a mathematical statement. State the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim.
The standard deviation of the base price of a certain type of? all-terrain vehicle is at least ?$327.
Write the claim as a mathematical statement.
A. equals327
B. sigmagreater than327
C. sigmaless than or equals327
D. sigmanot equals327
E. sigmagreater than or equals327
F. sigmaless than327
Answer:
Option E - sigma greater than or equal to $327
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are testing whether the standard deviation of the base price of a certain type of all-terrain vehicle is at least $327.
Now, standard deviation is denoted by the symbol sigma(σ). Since the test is saying it should be at least $327, it means it should either be equal to $327 or greater than $327.
Thus, we would use the symbol ≥ which means "greater than or equal to".
Thus, the claim as a mathematical statement would be;
sigma greater than or equal to $327
Which constants could each equation be multiplied by to eliminate the x-variable using addition in this system of equations? 2 x + 3 y = 25. Negative 3 x + 4 y = 22. The first equation can be multiplied by –3 and the second equation by 2. The first equation can be multiplied by –4 and the second equation by 2. The first equation can be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 2. The first equation can be multiplied by 4 and the second equation by –3.
Answer:
The first equation can be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following system of equations:
[tex]\boxed{\left \{ {{2x+3y=25} \atop {-3x+4y=22}} \right.}[/tex]
To eliminate a variable in the equation, they must cancel out. For instance, if x = 1, in order to cancel out the numbers, you must add -1.
To multiply an equation, you must apply the constant that you are multiplying by to all constants and coefficients of the equation. For example, to multiply 2x + 4y = 8 by 3, you must multiply 2x by 3, 4y by 3, and 8 by 3.
Therefore, using this information, you can attempt each answer set and test the possibilities.
Answer Choice A
If you multiply the first equation by -3, you will get -6x - 9y = -75. If you multiply the second equation by 2, you will get -6x + 8y = 44. Adding -6 + -6 gives you -12, so these do not cancel out.
Answer Choice B
If you multiply the first equation by -4, you will get -8x - 12y = -100. If you multiply the second equation by 2, you will get -6x + 8y = 44. Adding -8 + -6 gives you -14, so these do not cancel out.
Answer Choice C
If you multiply the first equation by 3, you will get 6x + 9y = 75. If you multiply the second equation by 2, you will get -6x + 8y = 44. Adding 6 + -6 gives you 0, so these do cancel out.
Answer Choice D
If you multiply the first equation by 4, you will get 8x + 12y = 100. If you multiply the second equation by -3, you will get 9x - 12y = -66. Adding 8 + -9 gives you -1, so these do not cancel out.

The new 12 mile hiking trail is 150% of the length of the original trial. How long was the original trial?
Answer:
The answer is 8 milesStep-by-step explanation:
Let the original trail be x
From the question 150% of the trail is
12 mile
That's
150% of x = 12
So we have
[tex] \frac{150}{100} x = 12 \\ \\ \frac{3}{2} x = 12[/tex]
Multiply through by 2
That's
[tex]2 \times \frac{3}{2} x = 12 \times 2[/tex]
We have
3x = 24
Divide both sides by 3
We have the final answer as
x = 8
Therefore the length of the original trail is

Ingredients for 16 brownies:
2/3 cup butter, 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, 1 and 1/2 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 2 eggs, 1 cup
How much of each ingredient is needed to make 12 brownies?
Answer:
1/2 cups butter, 15/4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, 9/8 cups sugar, 3/2 teaspoons vanilla, 3/2 eggs, and 3/4 cups flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to solve this, I like using proportions.
(You could also find 3/4 of every ingredient since 12 is 3/4s of 16)
We can do this by temporarily naming the amount of each ingredient a variable, and then using the proportion to find the variable.
Note that in a given proportion such as:
a/b=c/d
will always equal
a*d=b*c
This is known as cross multiplying.
For each ingredient I'm going to set up the following proportion:
[tex]\frac{amount of given ingredient in 16 brownies}{16 (number of brownies)} = \frac{variable (amount of given ingredient in 12 brownies}{12 (new number of brownies)}[/tex]
Now we can start setting up proportions for every ingredient.
Butter:
(2/3)/16=b/12
(2/3)(12)=16b
8=16b
b=1/2
Chocolate:
5/16=c/12
60=16c
c=60/16
c=15/4
Sugar:
(3/2)/16=s/12
(3/2)(12)=16s
18=16s
s=18/16
s=9/8
Vanilla:
2/16=v/12
24=16v
v=24/16
v=3/2
Eggs:
2/16=e/12
24=16e
e=3/2
Flour:
1/16=f/12
12=16f
f=3/4
Therefore, the ingredients for 12 brownies would be:
1/2 cups butter, 15/4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, 9/8 cups sugar, 3/2 teaspoons vanilla, 3/2 eggs, and 3/4 cups flour.
The distance, d, in inches of a weight attached to a spring from its equilibrium as a function of time, t, in seconds can be modeled by the graph below. Which equation is represented in the graph below? On a coordinate plane, a curve crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 5). It increases to (1, 5) and then decreases to (2, negative 5). 5 cycles are shown.
The travel of the spring is it’s amplitude, which is a cosine function.
The lowest y value is -5
Multiply that by cosine of pi x time
The formula is d = -5cos(pi t)
The equation d = -5cos(πt) modeled the distance, d, in inches of a weight attached to a spring from its equilibrium as a function of time, t, in seconds.
What is trigonometry?Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.
We have:
The distance, d, in inches of a weight attached to a spring from its equilibrium as a function of time, t.
We know the cosine equation for distance d:
d = acos(bt+c) + d
From the graph: a = -5, b = π
Assume the phase and vertical shift are zero.
c = 0 and d = 0
Plug all values in the function, the equation becomes:
d = -5cos(πt)
Thus, the equation d = -5cos(πt) modeled the distance, d, in inches of a weight attached to a spring from its equilibrium as a function of time, t, in seconds.

The Laurier Company’s brand has a market share of 30%. Suppose that 1,000 consumers of the product are asked in a survey which brand they prefer. What is the probability that more than 32% of the respondents say they prefer the Laurier brand?
Answer:
The probability is
[tex]P(Z>1.3793 ) = 0.083901[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The proportion proportion is [tex]p = 0.30[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 1000[/tex]
The sample proportion [tex]\r p = 0.32[/tex]
Generally the standard error is mathematically represented as
[tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{p (1 - p)}{ n} }[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{ 0.30 (1 - 0.30 )}{ 1000} }[/tex]
[tex]SE = 0.0145[/tex]
The probability that more than 32% of the respondents say they prefer the Laurier brand is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X > 0.32 ) = P( \frac{X - p }{ SE} > \frac{\r p - p }{ SE} )[/tex]
Here [tex]\frac{X - p }{SE} = Z (the \ standardized \ value \ of \ X)[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 0.32 ) = P(Z>1.3793 )[/tex]
From the z -table [tex]P(X > 0.32 ) = P(Z>1.3793 ) = 0.083901[/tex]
[tex]P(Z>1.3793 ) = 0.083901[/tex]
Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0838 = 8.38% probability that more than 32% of the respondents say they prefer the Laurier brand.
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 proportions of a proportion p in a sample of size n has mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard error [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}[/tex].In this problem:
The Laurier Company’s brand has a market share of 30%, hence [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]1,000 consumers are asked, hence [tex]n = 1000[/tex].Then, the mean and the standard error are given by:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.3[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.3(0.7)}{1000}} = 0.0145[/tex]
The probability that more than 32% of the respondents say they prefer the Laurier brand is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.32, hence:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.32 - 0.3}{0.0145}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.38[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.38[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9162.
1 - 0.9162 = 0.0838
0.0838 = 8.38% probability that more than 32% of the respondents say they prefer the Laurier brand.

MARK AS BRAINLIEST An artist has a block of clay in the shape of a cube. The edges of the cube measure 3 inches. The artist will use the clay to make models of
pine trees. Each tree will be a solid cone with a base diameter of 1.5 inches and a height of 2 inches.
Part A
Determine the greatest number of clay pine trees that the artist can make. Show your work.
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cube is given as:
Cube volume = length × length × length
Since the edges of the cube measure 3 inches, this means that the length of the cube is 3 inches, therefore:
Cube volume = 3 inches × 3 inches × 3 inches = 27 in³
The pine tree is the shape of a cone with diameter of 1.5 inches and a height (h) of 2 inches. The radius (r) = diameter / 2 = 1.5 inches / 2 = 0.75 inches.
The volume of the cone = πr²(h/3) = π × (0.75)² × (2/3) = 1.178 in³
The number of pine trees that can be made = Volume of cube / Volume of cone = 27 / 1.178 = 22.9
The number of pine trees = 22

write an equivalent unit rate to eating chips in 1/4 mins
Answer:
Here we have the case where:
"one chip is eaten in 1/4 mins."
(that means unit rate, the amount of a given variable that we need to do a unit of another variable)
Then the unit rate would be:
4 chips per minute.
Or, in a more mathematical way to write this:
4 chips/min.
Now we could write this in other units, for example.
We know that 1 min = 60s.
Then we have that (1/4) min = 60s/4 = 15s.
Then we have the unit rate:
1 chip every 15 seconds, or:
(1/15) chips/second.
Now, the variable in this case is time, t = time, let's multiply bot our unit rates by the same amount of time, and see if we have the same outcome.
Let's use t = 2 min.
1) (4chips/min)*2min = 8 chips.
2) ((1/15) chips/second)*2min
First, 2 min = 120 seconds.
((1/15) chips/second)*2min = ((1/15) chips/second)*120seconds = 8 chips.
So both unit rates are equivalent.

f(-9) = 3(81) - 45 - 1
f(-9) = 243 - 45 - 1
f(-9) = 198 - 1
f(-9) = 197

Two hoses are filling a pool the first hose fills at a rate of x gallons per minute the second hose fills at a rate of 15 gallons per minute less than the first hose.
Answer:
B. (0, 5]∪(15,30] only (15,30] contains viable rates for the hoses.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.
For us to meet the pool maintenance company's schedule, the pool needs to fill at a combined
rate of at least 10 gallons per minute. If the inequality represents the combined rates of the hoses is 1/x+1/x-15≥10 we are to find all solutions to the inequality and identifies which interval(s) contain viable filling rates for the hoses. On simplifying the equation;
[tex]\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x-15} \geq \frac{1}{10}\\\\ find\ the \ LCM \ of \ the function \ on \ the \ LHS\\\\\frac{x-15+x}{x(x-15)} \geq \frac{1}{10}\\\\\frac{2x-15}{x(x-15)} \geq \frac{1}{10}\\\\10(2x-15)\geq x(x-15)\\\\20x-150\geq x^2-15x\\\\collect \ like \ terms\\-x^2+20x+15x - 150\geq 0\\[/tex]
[tex]-x^2+35x-150 \geq 0\\\\multipply \ through \ by \ minus\\x^2-35x+150 \leq 0\\\\(x^2-5x)-(30x+150) \leq 0\\\\x(x-5)-30(x-5) \leq 0\\\\[/tex]
[tex](x-5)(x-30) \leq 0\\\\x-5 \leq 0 and x - 30 \leq 0\\\\x \leq 5 \ and \ x \leq 30[/tex]
The interval contains all viable rate are values of x that are less than 30. The range of interval is (0, 5]∪(15,30]. Since the pool needs to fill at a combined rate of at least 10 gallons per minute for the pool to meet the company's schedule, this means that the range of value of gallon must be more than 10, hence (15, 30] is the interval that contains the viable rates for the hoses.
