2. Inflation is at a rate of 7% per year. Evan's favorite bread now costs $1.79. What did it cost 10 years ago? How long
before the cost of the bread doubles?
Answer:
It cost $0.91 10 years ago.
It takes 10.24 years for the cost of bread to double.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the price of bread after t years has the following format:
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}[/tex]
In which P(0) is the current price, and r is the inflation rate, as a decimal.
If we want to find the price for example, 10 years ago, we find P(-10).
Inflation is at a rate of 7% per year. Evan's favorite bread now costs $1.79.
This means that [tex]r = 0.07, P(0) = 1.79[/tex]. So
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]P(t) = 1.79(1+0.07)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]P(t) = 1.79(1.07)^{t}[/tex]
What did it cost 10 years ago?
[tex]P(-10) = 1.79(1.07)^{-10} = 0.91[/tex]
It cost $0.91 10 years ago.
How long before the cost of the bread doubles?
This is t for which P(t) = 2P(0) = 2*1.79. So
[tex]P(t) = 1.79(1.07)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]2*1.79 = 1.79(1.07)^{t}[/tex]
[tex](1.07)^{t} = 2[/tex]
[tex]\log{(1.07)^{t}} = \log{2}[/tex]
[tex]t\log{1.07} = \log{2}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{\log{2}}{\log{1.07}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 10.24[/tex]
It takes 10.24 years for the cost of bread to double.
what is the value of the rational expression below when x is equal to 4? x+20/x+4
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
All we need to do here is plug in the number 4 for the variable x. Wherever there's an x, kidnap it and replace it with a 4!
[tex]\frac{x + 20}{x + 4}[/tex]
x = 4
[tex]\frac{4 + 20}{4 + 4}[/tex]
Do the addition.
4 + 20 = 24
4 + 4 = 8
[tex]\frac{24}{8}[/tex]
We can simplify this! What is 24 divided by 8?
24/8 = 3
The answer is 3!
State if the two vectors are parallel, orthogonal, or neither.
u=18i+8j
v=9i+4j
Answer:
Parallel, since [tex]\vec u = 2\cdot \vec v[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between both vectors is determined by the use of the dot product, whose expression is:
[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{\vec u \bullet \vec v}{\|\vec u\| \|\vec v\|}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\cos \theta = 1[/tex] if vectors are parallel to each other and [tex]\cos \theta = 0[/tex] if vectors are orthogonal. Then, norms and dot product are calculated hereafter:
[tex]\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{18^{2}+8^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\|\vec u\| \approx 19.698[/tex]
[tex]\|\vec v \| = \sqrt{9^{2}+4^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\|\vec v\| \approx 9.849[/tex]
[tex]\vec u \bullet \vec v = (18)\cdot (9) + (8)\cdot (4)[/tex]
[tex]\vec u \bullet \vec v = 194[/tex]
[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{194}{(19.698)\cdot (9.849)}[/tex]
[tex]\cos \theta = 1[/tex]
The two vectors are parallel to each other, which is also supported by the fact that one vector is multiply of the other one. That is,
[tex]18i + 8j = 2\cdot (9i + 4j)[/tex]
[tex]\vec u = 2\cdot \vec v[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the probability of an athlete taking a certain illegal steroid is 10%. A test has been developed to detect this type of steroid and will yield either a positive or negative result. Given that the athlete has taken this steroid, the probability of a positive test result is 0.995. Given that the athlete has not taken this steroid, the probability of a negative test result is 0.992. Given that a positive test result has been observed for an athlete, what is the probability that they have taken this steroid
Answer:
93.25% probability that they have taken this steroid
Step-by-step explanation:
Bayes Theorem:
Two events, A and B.
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.
In this question:
Event A: Positive test
Event B: Taking the steroid.
Suppose the probability of an athlete taking a certain illegal steroid is 10%.
This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.1[/tex]
Given that the athlete has taken this steroid, the probability of a positive test result is 0.995.
This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.995[/tex]
Positive test:
99.5% of 10%(If the athlete has taken).
100-99.2 = 0.8% of 100-10 = 90%(Athlete has not taken)
Then
[tex]P(B) = 0.995*0.1 + 0.008*0.9 = 0.1067[/tex]
Given that a positive test result has been observed for an athlete, what is the probability that they have taken this steroid
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1*0.995}{0.1067} = 0.9325[/tex]
93.25% probability that they have taken this steroid
The Sears Tower, at 1,451 feet, is one of the tallest structures in the United States. A penny is thrown from the top of the tower. The height, h, of the penny is recorded after each second, t, in the table. Write an equation for the curve of best fit, then find the approximate height of the penny after 7 seconds.
Answer:
The equation for the height of the penny in function of time is:
[tex]h(t)=1451-16t^2[/tex]
After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The penny will have a free fall.
The initial velocity is zero, and the initial height is h(0)=1,451.
The acceleration will be the gravity, that has a value g=32 ft/s^2.
Then, we can model this starting by the speed:
[tex]dv/dt=-g\\\\v(t)=v_0-gt=-gt[/tex]
Then, the height becomes:
[tex]dh/dt=v(t)=-gt\\\\h(t)=h_0-\dfrac{gt^2}{2}=1451-\dfrac{32}{2}t^2\\\\\\h(t)=1451-16t^2[/tex]
The approximate height of the penny after 7 seconds can be calculated as:
[tex]h(7)=1451-16(7^2)=1451-16*49=1451-784=667[/tex]
After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.

Trisomy 18 (T18) is a rare genetic disorder that severely disrupts a baby's development prior to birth. Many die before birth and most die before their first birthday. T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U.S. A genetic test on the mother's blood can be done to test for T18 in her baby. The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384. The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97. The probability of a negative test result for a baby without T18 is 0.99. A mother's blood tests positive for T18. What is the probability that her baby has T18
Answer:
3.74% probability that her baby has T18
Step-by-step explanation:
Bayes Theorem:
Two events, A and B.
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.
In this question:
Event A: Positive test.
Event B: The baby having T18.
T18 occurs in only 1 in 2500 pregnancies in the U.S.
This means that [tex]P(B) = \frac{1}{2500} = 0.0004[/tex]
The probability of a positive test result for a baby with T18 is 0.97.
This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.97[/tex]
The overall probability of a positive test result is 0.010384.
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.010384[/tex]
What is the probability that her baby has T18
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.0004*0.97}{0.010384} = 0.0374[/tex]
3.74% probability that her baby has T18

Answer:
b and c
Step-by-step explanation:
Three methods, A, B and C, are available for teaching a certain industrial skill. The failure rate is 15% for A, 5% for B and 10% for C. The method A is used 30%, B is used 40% and C is used 30% of the time. A worker is taught the skill by one of the methods but fails to learn it correctly. a. (10 points) What is the probability that he was taught by method A? b. (5 points) What is the probability of B given A?
Answer:
a) so the correct answer is that the probability that method A has been taught is 0.4737
b) the probability that B receives A is 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
With the previous data we know that 3 methods teach an industrial skill and when putting into practice a worker does not learn, we have the failure rates like this:
method A fails 15%
method B fails: 5%
method C fails: 10%
usage percentages:
A: 30%
B: 40%
C: 30%
a) the probability that method A has been taught is as follows:
P (failure rate) = P (A) * P (failure rate A) + P (B) * P (failure rate B) + P (C) * P (failure rate C)
we replace the data obtaining:
P = 0.3 * 0.15 + 0.4 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.1 = 0.095
P ( failure rate A) = P (A) * P (failure rate A) / P (failure rate)
we replace the data obtaining:
0.3 * 0.15 / 0.095 = 0.4737
so the correct answer is that the probability that method A has been taught is 0.4737
b) the probability that B receives A is as follows:
P (B | A) = P (B) = 0.50

In the past, 19% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent had the father as the stay-at-home parent. An independent research firm has been charged with conducting a sample survey to obtain more current information. (a) What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03? Use a 95% confidence level. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
A sample size of 657 is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
In the past, 19% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent had the father as the stay-at-home parent.
This means that [tex]\pi = 0.19[/tex]
(a) What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03?
A sample size of n is needed.
n is found when [tex]M = 0.03[/tex]
Then
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.03}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.03})^{2}[/tex]
[tex]n = 656.91[/tex]
Rounding up to the nearest whole number.
A sample size of 657 is needed.
A grocery store has an average sales of $8000 per day. The store introduced several advertising campaigns in order to increase sales. To determine whether or not the advertising campaigns have been effective in increasing sales, a sample of 64 days of sales was selected. It was found that the average was $8300 per day. From past information, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $1200. The p-value is
Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.023.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we need to determine whether the addition of several advertising campaigns increased the sales or not.
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: The stores average sales is $8000 per day, i.e. μ = 8000.
Hₐ: The stores average sales is more than $8000 per day, i.e. μ > 8000.
The information provided is:
[tex]n=64\\\bar x=\$8300\\\sigma=\$1200[/tex]
As the population standard deviation is provided, we will use a z-test for single mean.
Compute the test statistic value as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{8300-8000}{1200/\sqrt{64}}=2[/tex]
The test statistic value is 2.
Decision rule:
If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected.
Compute the p-value for the two-tailed test as follows:
[tex]p-value=P(Z>2)\\=1-P(Z<2)\\=1-0.97725\\=0.02275\\\approx 0.023[/tex]
*Use a z-table for the probability.
The p-value of the test is 0.023.

Points X( -6, -4), Y( -2, -8), Z( 2,-4) are the vertices of a right triangle. What is the area of XYZ? Round to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
distance between point x and z is 8 units
distance between point z and y is 4 units
8 * 4 = 32
formula for area of a triangle (l * w)/2
plugin: (8 * 4)/2 = 16
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times the measure of the first angle. The third angle is 14 more than the second. Let x, y, and z represent the measures of the first, second, and third angles, respectively. Find the measures of the three angles.
Answer:
[tex]x=30\\y=68\\z=82[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
x = measure of the first angle
y = measure of the second angle
z = measure of the third angle
The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)
[tex]y+z=5x[/tex]
The third angle is 14 more than the second
[tex]z=y+14[/tex]
And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.
[tex]x+y+z=180[/tex]
Let's take these equations
[tex]y+z=5x\\z=y+14\\x+y+z=180[/tex]
If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....
[tex]x+y+z=180\\x+(y+z)=180\\x+(5x)=180[/tex]
Distribute the + sign
[tex]x+5x=180[/tex]
Combine like terms;
[tex]6x=180[/tex]
Divide by 6.
[tex]x=\frac{180}{6}\\ x=30[/tex]
We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.
Let's take another equation... for example [tex]z=y+14[/tex]
I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.
[tex]x+y+z=180\\30+y+(y+14)=180[/tex]
Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;
[tex]30+y+y+14=180\\44+2y=180\\[/tex]
Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.
[tex]2y=180-44\\2y=136[/tex]
Now divide by 2.
[tex]y=\frac{136}{2}\\ y=68[/tex]
We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.
[tex]x+y+z=180\\30+68+z=180\\98+z=180\\z=180-98\\z=82[/tex]

Tim has to cover 3 tanks completely with paint.
Each tank is in the shape of a cylinder with a top and a bottom.
The tank has a diameter of 1.4 metres and a height of 1.9 m.
A tin of paint covers 5 m
Find the total surface area of the 3 tanks and state how
many tins of paint Tim will need to buy
You must show your working
Total marks 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each tank is cylindrical, we would apply the formula for determining the total surface area of a cylinder which is expressed as
Total surface area = 2πr² + 2πrh
Where
r represents the height of the cylinder.
h represents the height of the cylinder.
π = 3.14
From the information given,
Height = 1.9
Diameter = 1.4
Radius = diameter/2 = 1.4/2 = 0.7
Total surface area = 2 × 3.14 × 0.7² + 2 × 3.14 × 0.7 × 1.9 = 3.0772 + 8.3524 = 11.4296 m²
Total surface area of the 3 cylinders = 11.4296 × 3 = 34.29 m²
Since a tin of paint covers 5 m², the number of tins paints that Tim will need to buy is
34.29/5 = 6.858
Since the tins of paint must be whole numbers, he needs to buy 7 tins of paints.

These are both standard integrals:
sec x + eˣ + C
Question 8:
∫sinxcos²xdx
∫-u²du (let u = cos(x))
-∫u²du
-u(^2+1)/2+1
-cos^(2+1)(x)/2+1
-1/3cos³(x)
-1/3cos³(x) + C
Question 9:
∫(secxtanx + eˣ)dx
∫sec(x)tan(x)dx + ∫eˣdx (apply sum rule)
sec(x) + eˣ (sec(x)tan(x)dx = sec(x) and eˣdx = eˣ)
sec(x) + eˣ + C
Best of Luck!

John wants to invest P dollars at a 4% interest rate. After 5 years the investment will be worth 2000 dollars. How much will it be worth in 11 years?
Answer:
About $2530.63
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for this kind of calculation is [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex], where P is the initial investment, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times you compound your investment per year, and t is the number of years. Assuming that you compound yearly, plugging in the numbers that you have given, you are left with:
[tex]2000=P(1+\frac{0.04}{1})^{t}[/tex]
[tex]2000=P\cdot (1.04)^5\\P\approx 1643.85\\A=1643.85 \cdot (1.04)^{11}\approx $2530.63[/tex]
Hope this helps!

Solution:
Corresponding income of salespersons before and after form matched pairs.
The data for the test are the differences between the income is salespersons.
μd = the income before minus their income after.

Sample mean, xd
= (- 20 + 5 - 54 + 0 + 0 - 98 - 6 + 0 - 5 + 0 + - 19 - 114)/12 = - 25.92
xd = - 25.92
Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n
n = 12
Summation(x - mean)² = (- 20 + 25.92)^2 + (5 - 25.92)^2 + (- 54 + 25.92)^2+ (0 + 25.92)^2 + (0 + 25.92)^2 + ( - 98 + 25.92)^2 + ( - 6 + 25.92)^2 + (0 + 25.92)^2 + (- 5 + 25.92)^2 + (0 + 25.92)^2 + (- 19 + 25.92)^2 + (- 114 + 25.92)^2 = 17784.5168
Standard deviation = √(17784.5168/12
sd = 38.5
For the null hypothesis
H0: μd ≥ 0
For the alternative hypothesis
H1: μd < 0
1) The distribution is a students t. Therefore, degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11
2) The formula for determining the test statistic is
t = (xd - μd)/(sd/√n)
t = ( - 25.92- 0)/(38.5/√12)
t = - 2.33
3) We would determine the probability value by using the t test calculator.
p = 0.02
4) Assume alpha = 0.05
Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.02, then we would reject the null hypothesis. We can conclude that at 5% significance level, there is a significant increase in the typical salesperson’s weekly income due to the innovative incentive plan
