Answer 1

Answer:

z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀  we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine

Step-by-step explanation:

We must evaluate the differences of the means of the two machines, to do so, we will assume a CI  of 95%, and as the interest is to find out if the new machine has better performance ( machine has a bigger efficiency or the new machine produces more units per unit of time than the old one) the test will be a one tail-test (to the left).

New machine

Sample mean                  x₁ =    25

Sample variance               s₁  = 27

Sample size                       n₁  = 45

Old machine

Sample mean                    x₂ =  23  

Sample variance               s₂  = 7,56

Sample size                       n₂  = 36

Test Hypothesis:

Null hypothesis                         H₀             x₂  -  x₁  = d = 0

Alternative hypothesis             Hₐ            x₂  -  x₁  <  0

CI = 90 %  ⇒  α =  10 %     α = 0,1      z(c) = - 1,28

To calculate z(s)

z(s)  =  ( x₂  -  x₁ ) / √s₁² / n₁  +  s₂² / n₂

s₁  = 27     ⇒    s₁²  =  729

n₁  = 45    ⇒   s₁² / n₁    = 16,2

s₂  = 7,56   ⇒    s₂²  = 57,15

n₂  = 36     ⇒    s₂² / n₂  =  1,5876

√s₁² / n₁  +  s₂² / n₂  =  √ 16,2  + 1.5876    = 4,2175

z(s) = (23 - 25 )/4,2175

z(s)  =  - 0,4742

Comparing z(s) and  z(c)

|z(s)| < | z(c)|  

z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀  we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine

The very hight dispersion of values s₁ = 27 is evidence of frecuent values quite far from the mean

Let one of those even numbers be x, Then other even number would be x + 2.

According to question,

⇛ Their reciprocal add upto 3/4

So, we can write it as,

⇛ 1/x + 1/x + 2 = 3/4

⇛ x + 2 + x / x(x + 2) = 3/4

⇛ 2x + 2 / x² + 2x = 3/4

Cross multiplying,

⇛ 3(x² + 2x) = 4(2x + 2)

⇛ 3x² + 6x = 8x + 8

⇛ 3x² - 2x - 8 = 0

⇛ 3x² - 6x + 4x - 8 = 0

⇛ 3x(x - 2) + 4(x - 2) = 0

⇛ (3x + 4)(x - 2) = 0

Then, x = -4/3 or 2

☃️ It can't be -4/3 because it is fraction and negative number. So, x = 2

Then, x + 2 = 4

✤ So, The even numbers are 2 and 4.

Let B represent the number of additional blocks that Joe reserves. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario? Choose 1 answer: a: 16+8B≤50 b: 16+8B≥50 c: 16+B≤50 d: 16+B≥50 2) What is the least amount of additional money Joe can spend to get the rooms they need?

Answers

Answer:

16 + 8b ≥ 50

4500

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs at least 50 rooms and has already reserved 16

They are in groups of 8

16 + 8b ≥ 50

Subtract 16 from each side

16+8b-16 ≥ 50 -16

8b≥ 34

Divide by 6

8b/8 ≥ 34/8

b≥ 4.25

We need to round up since we need at least 50

b = 5 since we want the least amount of rooms

Each block is 900

5*900 = 4500 more that he will have to spend

A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 4 ft 3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard.

Answers

Answer:

2ft by 2ft by 1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface of the cardboard box is expressed as S = 2LW + 2WH + 2LH where L is the length of the box, W is the width and H is the height of the box. Since the cardboard box is without a lid, then the total surface area will be expressed as;

S  = lw+2wh+2lh ... 1

Given the volume V = lwh = 4ft³ ... 2

From equation 2;

h = 4/lw

Substituting into r[equation 1;

S = lw + 2w(4/lw)+ 2l(4/lw)

S = lw+8/l+8/w

Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to w and l will give;

dS/dw = l + (-8w⁻²)

dS/dw = l - 8/w²

Similarly,

dS/dl = w  + (-8l⁻²)

dS/dw = w - 8/l²

At turning point, ds/dw = 0 and ds/dl = 0

l - 8/w² = 0 and w - 8/l² = 0

l = 8/w²  and w =8/l²

l = 8/(8/l² )²

l = 8/(64/I⁴)

l = 8*l⁴/64

l = l⁴/8

8l = l⁴

l³ = 8

l = ∛8

l = 2

Hence the length of the box is 2 feet

Substituting l = 2 into the function l = 8/w² to get the eidth w

2 = 8/w²

1 = 4/w²

w² = 4

w = 2 ft

width of the cardboard is 2 ft

Since Volume = lwh

4 = 2(2)h

4 = 4h

h = 1 ft

Height of the cardboard is 1 ft

The dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard is 2ft by 2ft by 1 ft

Alternative Hypothesis: Ha: μ > 16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that affer testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance), that the average price-earnings ratio increased from the past value of 16.8.

It means that the past value was not more than 16.8.

This follows that the null hypothesis is given as;

Use the number line below, where RS = 6y + 2, ST = 3y + 7, and RT = 14y - 11.
a. What is the value of y?
b. Find RS, ST, and RT.

Answers

Answer:

a) y = 4

b) RS = 26, ST = 19, RT = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

From the line given, the following vector equation is true, RS + ST = RT since R, S and T lies in the same straight line.

Given RS = 6y + 2, ST = 3y + 7, and RT = 14y - 11

On substituting this values into the equation above we will have;

6y+2+(3y+7) = 14y-11

6y+2+3y+7 = 14y-11

Collect the like terms

6y+3y-14y = -11-7-2

9y-14y = -20

-5y = -20

y = 20/5

y = 4

Since RS = 6y + 2

RS = 6(4)+2

RS = 24+2

RS = 26

ST = 3y + 7

ST = 3(4)+7

ST = 12+7

ST = 19

Also, RT = 14y - 11

RT = 14(4)-11

RT = 56-11

RT = 45

dh/dt = 1.8t + 3,
where t is the time (in years) and h is the height (in centimeters). The seedlings are 10 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0).
(a) Find the height after t years.
h(t) =
(b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold?
cm

Answers

Answer:

(a) After t years, the height is

18t² + 3t + 10

(b) The shrubs are847 cm tall when they are sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given growth rate

dh/dt = 1.8t + 3

dh = (18t + 3)dt

Integrating this, we have

h = 18t² + 3t + C

When t = 0, h = 10cm

Then

10 = C

So

(a) h = 18t² + 3t + 10

(b) Because they are sold after every 9 years, then at t = 9

h = 18(9)² + 3(9) + 10

= 810 + 27 + 10

= 847 cm

The force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass. The constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2 feet per second squared. Which equation represents F, the force on an object due to gravity according to m, the object’s mass? F = 16.1m F = F equals StartFraction 16.1 Over m squared EndFraction. F = 32.2m F = F equals StartFraction 32.2 Over m squared EndFraction.

Answers

Answer:

F = 32.2m

Step-by-step explanation:

According to newton second law, the force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass and it is expressed mathematically as Fαm i.e

F = mg where;

F is the force of gravity

m is the mass of the body

g is the proportionality constant known as the acceleration due to gravity.

If the constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2ft/s², the equation that represents F, the force on an object due to gravity according to m, the object’s mass can be gotten by substituting g = 32.2 into the formula above according to the law as shown;

F = m*32.2

F =32.2m

Hence the required equation is F = 32.2m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x represents the number of car wash tickets, y represents the number of silly sting fight tickets, and z represents the number of dance tickets. We know that the total tickets = 380, so therefore,

x + y + z = 380,

And the car wash tickets were $5 each, the silly sting fight tickets were $3 each and the dance tickets were $10 each, the total cost being $1460.

5x + 3y + 10z = 1460

The silly string tickets were sold for twice as much as the car wash tickets.

y = 2x

20 POINTS! You are planning to use a ceramic tile design in your new bathroom. The tiles are equilateral triangles. You decide to arrange the tiles in a hexagonal shape as shown. If the side of each tile measures 9 centimeters, what will be the exact area of each hexagonal shape?

Answers

Answer:

210.33 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 6 equilateral triangles makes one hexagon.

Also, an equilateral triangle has all its sides equal.

If the tile of each side of the triangular tile measure 9 cm, then the height of the triangular tiles can be gotten using Pythagoras's Theorem.

The triangle formed by each tile can be split along its height, into two right angle triangles with base (adjacent) 4.5 cm and slant side (hypotenuse) of 9 cm. The height  (opposite) is calculated as,

From Pythagoras's theorem,

[tex]hyp^{2} = adj^{2} + opp^{2}[/tex]

substituting, we have

[tex]9^{2} = 4.5^{2} + opp^{2}[/tex]

81 = 20.25 + [tex]opp^{2}[/tex]

[tex]opp^{2}[/tex] = 81 - 20.25 = 60.75

opp = [tex]\sqrt{60.75}[/tex] = 7.79 cm  this is the height of the right angle triangle, and also the height of the equilateral triangular tiles.

The area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

where b is the base = 9 cm

h is the height = 7.79 cm

substituting, we have

area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 9 x 7.79 = 35.055 cm^2

Area of the hexagon that will be formed = 6 x area of the triangular tiles

==> 6 x 35.055 cm^2 = 210.33 cm^2

The chief business officer of a construction equipment company arranges a loan of $9,300, at 12 1 /8 % interest for 37.5 months. Find the amount of interest. (Round to the nearest cent)

a. $2,761.21


b. $3,583.83


c. $3,523.83


d. $3,722.47

Answers

Answer:

C). $3523.83

Step-by-step explanation:

loan of principles p= $9,300,

at rate R= 12 1 /8 % interest

Rate R = 12.125%

for duration year T = 37.5 months

T= 37.5/12 = 3.125 years

Interest I=PRT/100

Interest I =( 9300*12.125*3.125)/100

Interest I = (352382.8125)/100

Interest I = 3523.83

Interest I= $3523.83

Can someone explain to me what a “derivative” means? How do you find the derivative of f(x)=x^3+1?

Answers

The derivative is the rate of change of a function, basically represents the slope at different points. To find the derivative of the given function you can use the power rule, which means, if n is a real number, d/dx(x^n)= nx^(n-1). This is a simplification of the chain rule based on the fact that d/dx(x)=1. Anyway, this means that d/dx(x^3 + 1)= 3x^2. Here n is 3 and so it is 3*x^(3-1)= 3x^2. The derivative of x^3+1 is 3x^2.

If you are wondering what happened to the 1, for any constant C, d/dx(C)=0.

Find the probability that when a couple has four ​children, at least one of them is a boy. ​(Assume that boys and girls are equally​ likely.)

Answers

Answer:

The probability that at least, one of the four children the couple has is a boy is 0.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that boys and girls are equally likely, we want to find the probability of having at least, one boy, from four children..

Note that it is possible to have the following for 4 children:

1. 4 boys, 0 girls

2. 3 boys, 1 girl

3. 2 boys, 2 girls

4. 1 boy, 3 girls

5. 0 boys, 4 girls.

To have at least, one boy, out of the 5 options, only 4 is possible.

1. 4 boys, 0 girls.........YES

2. 3 boys, 1 girl ...........YES

3. 2 boys, 2 girls.........YES

4. 1 boy, 3 girls.............YES

5. 0 boys, 4 girls..........NO

The probability is therefore,

(Probability of event = 4) ÷ (Total possible outcome = 5)

P = 4/5 = 0.8

Your investment club has only two stocks in its portfolio. $25,000 is invested in a stock with a beta of 0.8, and $40,000 is invested in a stock with a beta of 1.7. What is the portfolio's beta? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The portfolio beta is  [tex]\alpha = 1.354[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  first investment is [tex]i_1 = \$ 25,000[/tex]

       The  first  beta is  [tex]k = 0.8[/tex]

      The second investment is  [tex]i_2 = \$ 40,000[/tex]

       The  second  beta is  [tex]w = 1.7[/tex]

Generally the portfolio beta is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\alpha = \frac{ i_1 * k + i_2 * w }{ i_1 + i_2}[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]\alpha = \frac{ (25000 * 0.8) + ( 40000* 1.7 ) }{40000 + 25000}[/tex]

          [tex]\alpha = 1.354[/tex]

Suppose you are standing such that a 32-foot tree is directly between you and the sun. If you are standing 140 feet away from the tree and the tree casts a 160-foot shadow, how tall could you be and still be completely in the shadow of the tree? x 160 ft 140 ft 32 ft

Answers

Answer:

Height = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how tall I can be we take the difference between the shadow cast by the 32-feet tree and the distance away from the tree

But the tree is 32 feet tall but on shadow it's 160

So lemme determine how long I'll be in my shadow first

Distance away from tree= 140 feet

Length of shadow cast by tree

= 160 feet

Length of shadow= 160-140

Length if shadow= 20 feet

My height= x

X/20= 32/160

X= 20*32/260

X = 4 feet

Height = 4 feet
