Suppose the number of gallons of gasoline per day used by a car is normally distributed with a mean of 2.2 gallons and a standard deviation of 1.2 gallons.

What is the difference in gallons per day used by a car with a z-score of 3 and another car that has a z-score of 0?

A. 1.2

B. 2.6

C. 3.6

D. 4.6

Answers

Answer 1
The difference in gallons per day used is 3.6.

The formula to calculate a z-score is:
[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex],

where X is the value used to calculate the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.  We have the z-scores so we must work backward:

[tex]3=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}\text{ and }0=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}[/tex]

For both equations, we will cancel the 1.2 by multiplying both sides:
[tex]3\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2\text{ and }0\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2 \\ \\3.6=X-2.2\text{ and }0=X-2.2[/tex]

Now we will cancel 2.2 from both equations by adding it to both sides:

3.6+2.2=X-2.2+2.2     and       0+2.2=X-2.2+2.2
5.8=X     and       2.2=X

The difference in gas used per day would be given by
5.8-2.2 = 3.6.

A brand new filled jar of salsa is 11 cm tall and a has a radius of 6 cm. Kelly eats some of the salsa and the salsa in the jar is now 6 cm high.
Approximately how much salsa did Kelly eat?
Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.
188 cm³
565 cm³
679 cm³
1244 cm³

Answers

I'm positive that the answer is 565 cm^3

Before we begin please note that a jar is always cylindrical in shape if not mentioned otherwise. Thus, we will take a cylindrical jar in this case.

Since Kelly eats some of the salsa and the salsa in the jar is now 6 cm high, we know that Kelly ate the amount of Salsa whose volume is missing from the jar.

To find the missing volume on the Salsa jar all that we need to do is to find the height of the missing volume which is given to us as h= 6 cm. We already know that the radius of the jar, r=6 cm. Thus, the amount of Salsa Kelly has eaten is:

[tex] V=\pi(6)^2\times 6\approx678.6\approx679 [/tex] [tex] cm^3 [/tex]

lemon squash 2 parts concentrate to 5 parts of water. if you put 90ml of concentrate in a glass, how much water should be added?

Answers

It is given in the question that in the lemon squash 2 parts concentrate is added to 5 parts of water. Thus it makes the concentrate to water ratio as 2:5 or [tex] \frac{2}{5} [/tex]. Now, if this ratio is maintained then the amount of water to be added to 90 ml concentrate in a glass can be calculated as:

[tex] \frac{2}{5}=\frac{90}{x} [/tex]

Where x is the amount of water to be added, in ml (milliliters).

Cross multiplication of the above equation will give us:

[tex] 2x=90\times 5=450 [/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2 we will get:

[tex] x=\frac{450}{2}=225 [/tex]

Thus, if we put 90ml of concentrate in a glass, the water that should be added must be 225 ml.


The amount of water should be added is 225 ml if the lemon squash is 2 parts concentrated to 5 parts of water. if you put 90ml of concentrate in a glass

What is the ratio?

It is defined as the comparison between two quantities that how many times the one number acquires the other number. The ratio can be presented in the fraction form or the sign: between the numbers.

We have:

Lemon squash 2 parts concentrate to 5 parts of water.

Let's suppose the amount of water is x ml

Then according to the problems the ratios:

[tex]\frac{2}{5} =\frac{90}{x}[/tex]

2x = 90×5

2x = 450

x = 225 ml

Thus, the amount of water should be added is 225 ml if the lemon squash is 2 parts concentrated to 5 parts of water. if you put 90ml of concentrate in a glass

2. Rhianna is buying a car for $14,390. She has a $1000 trade-in allowance and will make a $1500 down payment. She will finance the rest with a 4-year auto loan at 2.6% APR.

Answers

Answer: Her payment will be $261

To find this value, you just need to start with the numbers that you know.

First, find the cost of the loan. 14390 - 1000 - 1500 = 11890
We have to subtract her down payment and trade in allowance.

Then, we need the rate of 2.6%

Finally, the term of the loan is 4 years or 48 months.

Simply plug these values into your equation or use an online calculator. There are numerous ones you can find online.

Answer:

$261.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Worth of Car=$14,390

Trade-in allowance=$1000

Down Payment= $1500

Value of Loan=14390-(1000+1500)

=$11890

The Monthly Payment for a loan P, taken at a Monthly interest rate, r for a number of m months, is gotten using the formula:

[TeX] Monthly\:Payment=\frac{rP}{1-(1+r)^{-m}} [/TeX]

P=$11890

Monthly Interest Rate,r=0.026/12=0.002167

Number of Months, m=4*12=48 Months

[TeX] Monthly\:Payment=\frac{0.002167*11890}{1-(1+0.002167)^{-48}} [/TeX]

=$261.08

The Monthly Payment on the car loan is $261.08.

A rectangle has perimeter 68 meters, and its area is 280 sq-meters. find the dimensions of this rectangle. (for purposes of this problem only, the width is shorter than the length.)

Answers

let one side be x and the other be y

Perimeter is 68 meters
2(x + y) = 68
x + y = 34
x = 34 - y ------------------ (1)

Area = 280
xy = 280 ------------------- (2)

Sub (1) into (2):

(34 - y)y = 280
34y - y² = 280
y² - 34y + 280 = 0
(x - 14)(x - 20) = 0
x = 14 or x = 20

The dimension  of this rectangle is 14 meters by 20 meters


Final answer:

The rectangle's length to be 20 meters and the width to be 14 meters.

Explanation:

We are given that a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 meters and an area of 280 square meters, and we need to find its dimensions. Let's call the length of the rectangle L and the width W.

The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2L + 2W. We know the perimeter is 68 meters, so we can write the equation:

1. 68 = 2L + 2W

The area (A) of a rectangle is given by the formula A = L × W. We know the area is 280 square meters, so we can write the equation:

2. 280 = L × W

To find L and W, we solve these two equations simultaneously.

Divide the perimeter equation by 2 to simplify:

34 = L + W

We can then express W in terms of L using this equation:

W = 34 - L

Substitute this into the area equation:

280 = L × (34 - L)

This gives us a quadratic equation:

L2 - 34L + 280 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation, we find that L = 20 and W = 14 or L = 14 and W = 20. Since the width is shorter than the length, the dimensions of the rectangle are length 20 meters and width 14 meters.

The radius r of a circle is increasing at a rate of 3 inches per minute. Find the rate of change of the area when r = 5 inches and r = 21 inches. (a) r = 5 inches

Answers

A=πr²
dA/dt=dA/dr×dr/dt

we are required to find:
a] (dA/dt) when radius is r=5 inch
dA/dt=2πr dr/dt
dA/dt=2π(5)×3
dA/dt=30π in²/ min

b] (dA/dt) when radius is r=21 in
dA/dt=2πr dr/dt
dA/dt=2π(21)×3
dA/dt=126π in²/min

Final answer:

The rate of change of the area of a circle with a radius increasing at a constant rate can be calculated using the derivative of the area formula. For r = 5 inches, the rate is 30π square inches per minute and for r = 21 inches, the rate is 126π square inches per minute.

Explanation:

The student is asking about the rate of change of the area of a circle when its radius is increasing at a constant rate. This is a calculus problem that involves derivatives and can be solved using the formula for the area of a circle, A = πr² where A is the area and r is the radius. The rate of change of the radius, ℓr/ℓt, is given as 3 inches per minute.

To find the rate of change of the area, denoted as ℓA/ℓt, we take the derivative of A with respect to t, using the chain rule, which gives us ℓA/ℓt = 2πr(ℓr/ℓt). When r = 5 inches, substituting the values, we obtain ℓA/ℓt = 2π(5)(3) = 30π square inches per minute. Similarly, when r = 21 inches, ℓA/ℓt = 2π(21)(3) = 126π square inches per minute.

Bill had saved $825 from his last 8 paychecks. He saved either 75$ or 150$ a paycheck.for the 8 paychecks,how many times did bill save $75 from his paycheck

Answers

Let us assume the number of times Bill saved $75 from his paycheck = x

Let us assume he number of times Bill saved $150 from his paycheck = y

Since he saved 75$ or 150$ for the 8 paychecks.

So, x+y=8

y=8-x (Equation 1)

Since Bill saved $825 from his last 8 paychecks using $75 or $150.

So, 75x+150y=825 (Equation 2)

Substituting the value of 'y' from equation 1 in equation 2,

Answer: 
Which is: t = 1.2 hrs. 

Final answer:

Sue and Helen can sew a dress in 1.2 hours when working together.

Explanation:

Calculating Time to Sew a Dress Together

Sue and Helen are working together to sew a dress and we need to calculate the total time it will take them to complete the sewing when working simultaneously. Sue can sew a precut dress in 3 hours, which means Sue's rate is 1 dress per 3 hours, or
1/3 dress per hour. Helen can sew the same dress in 2 hours, which means Helen's rate is 1 dress per 2 hours, or
1/2 dress per hour. Working together, their combined rate is the sum of their individual rates:

Total rate = 1/3 + 1/2

This results in a combined rate of 5/6 dresses per hour when we find a common denominator and add the fractions. To find the time it takes them to sew one dress together, we take the reciprocal of their combined rate:

Time = 1 / (5/6) hours

This simplifies to 6/5 hours.

Therefore, Sue and Helen will take 1.2 hours to complete the dress when working together.
