Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:
120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16
Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...
120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)
0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms
n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller
(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic
The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.
The woman bought 6 items.

When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.
Answer:
the probability that the sample variance exceeds 3.10 is 0.02020 ( 2,02%)
Step-by-step explanation:
since the variance S² of the batch follows a normal distribution , then for a sample n of 20 distributions , then the random variable Z:
Z= S²*(n-1)/σ²
follows a χ² ( chi-squared) distribution with (n-1) degrees of freedom
since
S² > 3.10 , σ²= 1.75 , n= 20
thus
Z > 33.65
then from χ² distribution tables:
P(Z > 33.65) = 0.02020
therefore the probability that the sample variance exceeds 3.10 is 0.02020 ( 2,02%)
If tan0=-3/4 and 0 is in quadrant IV, cos20= (33/25, -17/25, 32/25, 7/25, 24/25?) and tan20= (24/7, -24/7, 7/25, -7/25, 13/7, -1

Answer:
- cos(2θ) = 7/25
- tan(2θ) = -24/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Sometimes, it is easiest to let a calculator do the work. (See below)
__
The magnitude of the tangent is less than 1, so the reference angle will be less than 45°. Then double the angle will be less than 90°, so will remain in the 4th quadrant, where the cosine is positive and the tangent is negative.
You can also use the identities ...
cos(2θ) = (1 -tan(θ)²)/(1 +tan(θ)²)
cos(2θ) = (1 -(-3/4)²)/(1 +(-3/4)²) = ((16-9)/16)/((16+9)/16)
cos(2θ) = 7/25
__
tan(2θ) = 2tan(θ)/(1 -tan(θ)²) = 2(-3/4)/((16-9/16) = (-6/4)(16/7)
tan(2θ) = -24/7
Simplify the radical, then combine the numbers.

Answer:
$9.40
Step-by-step explanation:
well since you work 37.5 hours and you earn $352.50 you divide them to get your hourly wage
352.5 ÷ 37.5 = 9.4
so your hourly wage is $9.40
