The cost of 4 baseball bats and 3 softball bats is $389. If the baseball bats
cost $10 less than the twice the hat, write an equation to model the
situation so that we can find the cost of the hat and the baseball bat.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

    the price of a softball bat is 143 dollars, and the price of a baseball bat is 296 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem that needs a set of equations because you are solving for two variables. The price of a baseball bat, and the price of a softball bat. To find the two equations in this sentence you take the context clues that are given to you. The first clue is that the cost of 4 baseball bats and 3 softball bats equals 389. Let's make b stand for the cost of a baseball bat, and s stand for the cost of a softball bat. The equation we can get from this piece of information is 4b +3s = 389 dollars. The second piece of information we get is that the baseball bats cost ten dollars less than twice the softball bat price. This is another equation that is b-10 = 2s.

    Now that we have both of the hidden equations, we can solve them to find the cost of baseball bats, and softball bats.

    First step is to solve one of the equations to get either one of the variables by themselves. I chose the second one, because it takes less steps. b-10 = 2s. If you add ten to both sides you get the variable b by itself in the equation: b = 2s - 10. Now we go back to the first equation, and substitute in 2s - 10 wherever there is a b. This makes equation one look like this: 4(2s - 10) +3s = 389. Now it is a solvable equation.  First you distribute the 4 to (2s - 10) you get 8s - 40 +3s = 389. Then you can add 8s and 3s together since they are the same variable. 11s - 40 = 389. Next, add the 40 to both sides to cancel it out, and you get that 3s = 429. Finally, divide both sides by 3 to get what s equals. s = 143.

    Now that we have the value of s, we can go back to the first equation and plug that value in to solve for b. This makes the first equation: b - 10 = 2(143).

Multiply the 2 and 143 first. Then, your equation looks like: b - 10 = 286. Finally, add the 10 to both sides to cancel it out and you get that b = 296.

    Putting this back into context: the price of a softball bat is 143 dollars, and the price of a baseball bat is 296 dollars.

write each equation in slope-intercept form (3,4); and (-6,-2)

Answers

Answer:

y = 2/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Given 2 points you can find the slope using (y-y1)/(x-x1)

m = (-2-4)/(-6-3) = -6/-9 = 2/3

To find b use one of the points and m and plug into the slope intercept form and then solve for b.

y=mx+b

4=2/3(3) + b

4=2 + b

b=2

Now we can write the final equation as : (plug m and b back in)

y = 2/3x + 2

To write in slope-intercept form, we must first find the slope.

  [tex]Slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{4-(-2)}{3-(-6)} =\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Now lets put into the point-slope form which requires the use of any one of the two points given which in this case can be (3,4) and the slope 2/3

 [tex]y - y_{0} =m(x-x_{0} )\\y-4=\frac{2}{3} (x-3)\\[/tex]

Now to put into the slope-intercept form, we must solve for y:

[tex]y - 4 = \frac{2}{3} x -2\\y = \frac{2}{3} x +2[/tex]

cos T = 0.75

Angles T and V are complementary angles

The second highlight above means that:

T + V = 90cos T = sin Vsin T = cos V

Substitute 0.75 for cos T in cos T = sin V

0.75 = sin V

thank you for the help ​

Answers

Answer:

C, 0;-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-4 means that no matter what the x value is, the y value will ALWAYS be -4. It does not change based on what x is, and we can tell that just by looking at it because x isn't even in the equation. I've attached an image of that the graph would look like.

The slope of the graph references how many units the y value increases for each increase in the x value. For example, a slope of 1/2 means that each time the x value increases by 2, the y value would increase by 1. But because y's value never changes, the slope is 0. No matter how much the x value changes, the increase in y values will be 0.

Since the y-axis is at where x=0, the y-intercept basically asks, "What is y's value when x is 0?" But like I mentioned before y's value never changes. It's always -4, no matter what the x value is. Therefore, the y-intercept is at -4.

Motorola used the normal distribution to determine the probability of defects and the number of defects expected in a production process. Assume a production process produces items with a mean weight of 9 ounces. The process standard deviation is 0.15, and the process control is set at plus or minus 1 standard deviation. Units with weights less than 8.85 or greater than 9.15 ounces will be classified as defects. What is the probability of a defect (to 4 decimals)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]1-P(8.85 < X < 9.15)=0.3173[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first calculate the probability that a unit between the weight of 8.85 and 9.15 ounces is NOT a defect, then subtract it from 1.

It just so happens that 8.85 and 9.15 are both 1 standard deviation from the mean of 9, so by the Empirical Rule, [tex]P(8.85 < X < 9.15)=0.6827[/tex].

Thus, the probability of a unit being a defect is [tex]1-P(8.85 < X < 9.15)=1-0.6827=0.3173[/tex]

A machine produces parts that are either defect free (90%), slightly defective (3%), or obviously defective (7%). Prior to shipment produced parts are passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is supposed to be able to detect any part that is obviously defective and discard it. However, the inspection machine is not perfect. A part is incorrectly identified as defective and discarded 2% of the time that a defect free part is input. Slightly defective parts are marked as defective and discarded 40% of the time, and obviously defective parts are correctly identified and discarded 98% of the time.

Required:
a. What is the total probability that a part is marked as defective and discarded by the automatic inspection machine?
b. What is the probability that a part is 'good' (either defect free or slightly defective) given that it makes it through the inspection machine and gets shipped?
c. What is the probability that a part is 'bad' (obviously defective) given that it makes it through the inspection machine and gets shipped?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.0686

(b) 0.9984

(c) 0.0016

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a machine produces parts that are either defect free (90%), slightly defective (3%), or obviously defective (7%).

Let A, B, and C be the events of defect-free, slightly defective, and the defective parts produced by the machine.

So, from the given data:

P(A)=0.90, P(B)=0.03, and P(C)=0.07.

Let E be the event that the part is disregarded by the inspection machine.

As a part is incorrectly identified as defective and discarded 2% of the time that a defect free part is input.

So, [tex]P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.02[/tex]

Now, from the conditional probability,

[tex]P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=\frac{P(E\cap A)}{P(A)}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(E\cap A)=P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)\times P(A)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(E\cap A)=0.02\times 0.90=0.018\cdots(i)[/tex]

This is the probability of disregarding the defect-free parts by inspection machine.

Similarly,

[tex]P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.40[/tex]

and [tex]\Rightarrow P(E\cap B)=0.40\times 0.03=0.012\cdots(ii)[/tex]

This is the probability of disregarding the partially defective parts by inspection machine.

[tex]P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.98[/tex]

and [tex]\Rightarrow P(E\cap C)=0.98\times 0.07=0.0686\cdots(iii)[/tex]

This is the probability of disregarding the defective parts by inspection machine.

(a) The total probability that a part is marked as defective and discarded by the automatic inspection machine

[tex]=P(E\cap C)[/tex]

[tex]= 0.0686[/tex] [from equation (iii)]

(b) The total probability that the parts produced get disregarded by the inspection machine,

[tex]P(E)=P(E\cap A)+P(E\cap B)+P(E\cap C)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(E)=0.018+0.012+0.0686[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(E)=0.0986[/tex]

So, the total probability that the part produced get shipped

[tex]=1-P(E)=1-0.0986=0.9014[/tex]

The probability that the part is good (either defect free or slightly defective)

[tex]=\left(P(A)-P(E\cap A)\right)+\left(P(B)-P(E\cap B)\right)[/tex]

[tex]=(0.9-0.018)+(0.03-0.012)[/tex]

[tex]=0.9[/tex]

So, the probability that a part is 'good' (either defect free or slightly defective) given that it makes it through the inspection machine and gets shipped

[tex]=\frac{\text{Probabilily that shipped part is 'good'}}{\text{Probability of total shipped parts}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{0.9}{0.9014}[/tex]

[tex]=0.9984[/tex]

(c) The probability that the 'bad' (defective} parts get shipped

=1- the probability that the 'good' parts get shipped

=1-0.9984
