A metallurgist has one alloy containing 24% aluminum and another containing 60% aluminum. How many pounds of each alloy must he use to make 44 pounds of a third alloy containing 47% aluminum?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15 8/9 pounds of 24%

28 1/9pounds of 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

x = pounds of 24%

44 - x = pounds of 60%

24x + 60(44  - x) = 47(44)

24x + 2640 - 60x = 2068

-36x + 2640 = 2068

-36x = -572

x = 15 8/9

44 - x = 28 1/9

Rounded

15 8/9 pounds of 24%

28 1/9pounds of 60%

Answers

Answer:

a) P(0.05 < p < 0.06) = 0.1332

b) P(p > 0.07) = 0.0011.

c) P(p < 0.03) = 0.1539

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set 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]

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Suppose that past records indicate that the probability that a new car will need a warranty repair in the first 90 days of use is 0.04.

This means that [tex]p = 0.04[/tex]

Sample of 400.

This means that [tex]n = 400, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.04*0.96}{400}} = 0.0098[/tex]

a. between 0.05 and 0.06?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.05 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.05. So

X = 0.06

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.06 - 0.04}{0.0098}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.04[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.04[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9793.

X = 0.05

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.05 - 0.04}{0.0098}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.02[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.02[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8461.

0.9793 - 0.8461 = 0.1332

So

P(0.05 < p < 0.06) = 0.1332

b. above 0.07?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.07. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.07 - 0.04}{0.0098}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.06[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.06[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9989.

1 - 0.9989 = 0.0011. So

P(p > 0.07) = 0.0011.

c. below 0.03?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.03. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.03 - 0.04}{0.0098}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.02[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.02[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1539. So

P(p < 0.03) = 0.1539

So for this problem I got 10.8 by multiplying 0.60 x 18. However it stated that my answer is incorrect. How do I go about this problem because I am not sure what else to do?

Answers

We are looking for the total amount of the solution. We only know part of it, that there are 18 milliliters of the alcohol. We also know that the alcohol makes up only 60% of the solution.

To find the whole, we can set up a proportion using the information given.

60 / 100 <--- This is our percentage, which we were given.

18 / x <--- This is the part (alcohol - 60%) over the whole, which we don't know and which also corresponds to the 100.

Therefore, our proportion is as such:

60 / 100 = 18 / x

To solve, cross-multiply.

100 * 18 = 60 * x

1800 = 60x

x = 30 total milliliters of the solution

Hope this helps!

upandover has a great solution. Here's a slightly different approach.

x = total amount of solution (consisting of water and alcohol mixed)

0.60x = 60% of x = amount of pure alcohol

0.60x = 18 since we have 18 mL of pure alcohol

Divide both sides by 0.60 to isolate x

0.60x = 18

x = 18/0.60

x = 30

Answer:  30 mL of total solution (alcohol + water).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ΔABC is mapped onto ΔDEF, we can write that:

[tex]\Delta ABC\cong \Delta DE F[/tex]

By CPCTC:

[tex]\angle A\cong \angle D[/tex]

And since ΔABC is isosceles with Vertex C:

[tex]\angle A \cong \angle B[/tex]

We are given that:

[tex]m\angle D=34[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]m\angle A=34=m\angle B[/tex]

We are also given that:

[tex]m\angle C=x^2+9x[/tex]

The interior angles of a triangle must sum to 180°. Thus:

[tex]m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C=180[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex](34)+(34)+(x^2+9x)=180[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]68+x^2+9x=180[/tex]

Isolate the equation:

[tex]x^2+9x-112=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](x+16)(x-7)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]x+16=0\text{ or } x-7=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]x=-16\text{ or } x=7[/tex]

Testing the solutions, we can see that both yields C = 112°.

Hence, our solutions are:

A hybrid car was driven 300 mi and used 6 gal of gasoline. At the same rate of
consumption, how far would the hybrid car travel on 11.5 gal of gasoline?

Answers

Answer:

575 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the distance traveled on 11.5 gallons of gas:

[tex]\frac{300}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{11.5}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x:

6x = 11.5(300)

6x = 3450

x = 575

So, the car would travel 575 miles

Answer:

575 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to find out how much gasoline the hybrid car uses per mile.

to do this we are going to divide 300 by 6.

[tex]\frac{300}{6}[/tex] = 50 mi

∴ For every 50 miles 1 gallon of gas is used. This can be represented as 1:50 or [tex]\frac{1}{50}[/tex].

To find the distance that 11.5 gallon of gas would be used we are going to multiply 50 by 11.5.

50 × 11.5 = 575 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Classical probability:

A classical probability is a probability based on a formal reasoning, for example, probability of getting heads/tails on a coin toss.

Empirical probability:

An empirical probability is the same as experimental probability, that is, suppose 7 out of 10 people you meet are Buffalo Bills fans, so the next person has a 7/10 = 0.7 = 70% probability of being a Buffalo Bills fan.

Subjective probability:

Probability of somthing happening based on "intuition", that is, based on the person's own experience. In this exercise, we have an example of subjective probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation can be further simplified into

[tex]2x^{2}+2x-12=0[/tex]

The roots of a quadratic equation is given by

[tex]x = \dfrac{ - b \: \pm \: \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

where a = 2, b = 2 and c = -12. Putting these into the roots equation, we get

[tex]x = \dfrac{ - 2 \: \pm \: \sqrt{4 \: - \: 4(2)( - 12)} }{2(2)} = \dfrac{ - 2 \: \pm \: 10}{4}[/tex]

This gives us two possible roots:

x = 2, x = -3

Since the condition is that p < q, we see that p = -3 and q = 2. Therefore,

[tex]q - p = 2 - ( - 3) = 5[/tex]

Answers

Answer: Both angles are equal to 45 degrees

===========================================================

Explanation:

When using the SSS congruence rule, we can prove that triangle DCA is congruent to triangle BCA.

Since the triangles are congruent, the corresponding pieces angle DCA and angle BCA are equal in measure (if they weren't, then the triangles wouldn't be congruent).

Recall that any square has four right angles, ie all angles are 90 degrees each. Angle DCB is cut in half to get 90/2 = 45.

The angles DCA and DCB are 45 degrees each.

Answers

Answer:

5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to rotate the triangle, you can apply Pythagoras Theorem.

Therefore,

a^2 = 12^2 - 13^2 (Note: a^2 = a squared)

a^2 = 144 - 169

a^2 = -25.

a     = 5.

Not sure why its negative though im pretty sure its the right answer.

in BCD triangle :

DC^2 = BC^2 + BD^2

13^2 = 12^2 + BD^2

169 = 144 + BD^2

BD^2 = 169 - 144

BD^2 = 25

BD = 5

_______________________

In the other hand we have :

BD^2 = AB × BC

5^2 = AB × 12

AB = 25/12

________________________

Also we have :

AD^2 = AB × AC

AD^2 = 25/12 × ( 25/12 + 12 )

AD^2 = 25/12 × ( 25/12 + 144/12 )

AD^2 = 25/12 × 169/12

AD^2 = 25 × 169 / 12 × 12

AD^2 = 5 × 5 × 13 × 13 / 12 × 12

AD = 5 × 13 / 12

AD = 65 / 12

AD = 5.42
