What is the volume of a cube with side lengths that measure 8 cm?

Answers

Answer: 512 cm³

Explanation: Since the length, width, and height of a cube are all equal,

we can find the volume of a cube by multiplying side × side × side.

So we can find the volume of a cube using the formula v = s³.

In the cube in this problem, we have a side length of 8 cm.

So plugging into the formula, we have (8 cm)³

or (8 cm)(8 cm)(8 cm), which is 512 cm³.

So the volume of the cube is 512 cm³.

Answer:512[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides are equal. Hence, volume =[tex]l^{3} = 8^{3} =512cm^{3}[/tex]

Aaron wants to mulch his garden. His garden is x^2+18x+81 ft^2 One bag of mulch covers x^2-81 ft^2 . Divide the expressions and simplify to find how many bags of mulch Aaron needs to mulch his garden.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Garden: [tex]x^2+18x+81[/tex]

One Bag: [tex]x^2 - 81[/tex]

Requires

Determine the number of bags to cover the whole garden

This is calculated as thus;

[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+18x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

Expand the numerator

[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+9x+9x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

[tex]Bags = \frac{x(x+9)+9(x+9)}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

Express 81 as 9²

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{x^2 - 9\²}[/tex]

Evaluate as difference of two squares

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{(x - 9)(x+9)}[/tex]

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)}{(x - 9)}[/tex]

Hence, the number of bags is [tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)}{(x - 9)}[/tex]

A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n, it can sell and the price, p, it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $30, while 3,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $10. Find a linear equation in the form p(n)=mn+b that gives the price p they can charge for n shirts.

Answers

Answer:

p(n) = -1/100 n  40

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the two points (n, p): (1000, 30) and (3000, 10).

Now we find the equation of the line that passes through these two points.

m = (10 - 30)/(3000 - 1000)

m = -20/2000

m = -1/100

p(n) = mn + b

30 = -1/100 * 1000 + b

30 = -10 + b

b = 40

The equation is:

p(n) = -1/100 n  40

Answers

Answer:

Decision Rule:  To reject the null hypothesis if t > 1.328

t = 3.913

Step-by-step explanation:

The summary of the given statistics include:

sample size n = 21

the correlation between the number of passengers and total fuel cost r = 0.668

(1) We are tasked to state the decision rule for 0.10 significance level

The degree of freedom df = n - 1

degree of freedom df = 21 - 1

degree of freedom df = 19

The  null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

[tex]H_o : \rho < 0\\ \\ Ha : \rho > 0[/tex]

The critical value for [tex]t_{\alpha, df}[/tex]  is  [tex]t_{010, 19}[/tex] = 1.328

Decision Rule:  To reject the null hypothesis if t > 1.328

The test statistics can be computed as follows by using the formula for t-test for Pearson Correlation:

[tex]t = r*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(n-2)}{(1-r^2)}[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.668*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(21-2)}{(1-0.668^2)}[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.668*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(19)}{(1-0.446224)}[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.668*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(19)}{(0.553776)}[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.668*5.858[/tex]

t = 3.913144

There are 2229 students in a school district. Among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level. Based on this sample, estimate the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level.

a. 804
b. 844
c. 884
d. 0.36

Answers

Answer:

A. 804

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of students in the school to be 2229 students. If among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level, then we can determine the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample scores using ratio.

Let the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level be x. The ratio of the students with math score below grade level to total population will be x:2229

Also, the ratio of the sample students with math score below grade level to sample population will be 163:452

On equating both ratios, we will have;

x:2229 =  163:452

[tex]\dfrac{x}{2229} = \dfrac{163}{452}\\ \\cross\ multiplying;\\\\\\452*x = 2229*163\\\\x = \dfrac{2229*163}{452}\\ \\x = \frac{363,327}{452}\\ \\x = 803.8\\\\x \approx 804[/tex]

Hence the estimate of the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample is 804

Step-by-step explanation:

so 1 rotation is like a circle 1 unit circle requires 4 quadrant to be in this is the most simplified i can get

Answer:

Solution : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us how many polar coordinates are possible for one rotation. For one rotation there will be 4 polar coordinates, one present in each quadrant such that,

( r, theta ), ( r, theta ), ( - r, theta ), ( - r, theta )

Respectively if theta was q say,

( r, q ), ( r, - q ), ( - r, q ), ( - r, -q )

Therefore there are 4 sets of polar coordinates for one rotation, in each of the 4 quadrants.

A potato chip company makes potato chips in two flavors, Regular and Salt & Vinegar. Riley is a production manager for the company who is trying to ensure that each bag contains about the same number of chips, regardless of flavor. He collects two random samples of 10 bags of chips of each flavor and counts the number of chips in each bag. Assume that the population variances of the number of chips per bag for both flavors are equal and that the number of chips per bag for both flavors are normally distributed. Let the Regular chips be the first sample, and let the Salt & Vinegar chips be the second sample. Riley conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance, to test if there is evidence that both flavors have the same number of chips in each bag. (a) H0:μ1=μ2; Ha:μ1≠μ2, which is a two-tailed test. (b) t≈1.44 , p-value is approximately 0.167 (c) Which of the following are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test?
A. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.B. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.C. Reject H0.D. Fail to reject H0.

Answers

Answer:

A. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.

D. Fail to reject H0.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the summary of the given test statistics.

The null and the alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0:\mu_1=\mu_2 \\ \\ Ha:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2[/tex]

This test is also a two tailed test.

Similarly, the t value for the test statistics = 1.44

The p- value - 0.167

The level of significance ∝ = 0.05

The objective we are meant to achieve here is to determine which of the following from the given options are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test.

From what we have above:

Decision Rule: We fail to reject the null hypothesis since the p-value is greater than the level of significance at 0.05

CONCLUSION: Therefore, we can conclude that  there is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag as we fail to reject H0.

Sarah needs to go to five different stores. How many ways can she go to two of them before lunch?

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1: At first, you might think that because there are 5 ways to choose the first store and 4 ways to choose the second store, the answer is 5 * 4 = 20 but this is over-counting by a factor of 2. Say that two of the stores are A and B. If she went to A then B, that's the same as going to B then A since you still go to the same stores, therefore, the answer is 20 / 2 = 10.

Solution 2: We need to find the number of ways to choose 2 stores from 5, we can do this by calculating ₅C₂ which equals:

5! / 2!  * 3!

= 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 * 3 * 2 * 1

there are 5 discs, 6 jump ropes, 3 balls, and 12 pieces of sidewalk chalk in a bin. If two items are drawn at random without replacement, what is the probability that both items removed are not jump ropes?

Answers

Answer: 0.584

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

5 discs

6 jump ropes

3 balls

12 pieces of sidewalk.

5 + 6 + 3 + 12 = 26

If all of them have exactly the same probability of being removed, then:

in the first selection, we do not want to remove a jump rope, so we can remove one disc, one ball or one piece of sidewalk.

The total number of those objects is:

5 + 3 + 12 = 20.

Then the probability of removing one of those objects is:

P1 = 20/26 = 0.769

Now in the second selection, we have the same situation, but now we have 25 objects in total, and because in the previous selection we removed one ball, or one disc, or one piece of sidewalk, the total number of these things now is 19.

So the probability of removing another object of that set is:

P2 = 19/25 = 0.76

The joint probability is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, so we have:

P = P1*P2 = 0.769*0.76 = 0.584

Differentiating equation (1) n times by Leibnitz theorem, gives:

2y(n) + xy(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

Let x = 0: 2y(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

2y(n) = -ny(n - 1)

For n = 2: y(1) = -y

For n = 3: -3y(2)/2

For n = 4: -2y(3)

b. What is the probability that exactly 20 voters favor the ban?

Answers

Answer:

a. Mean = 20

Sd = 4

b. Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

n = 25

p = 80% = 0.8

mean = np

= 0.8 * 25

= 20

standard deviation = √np(1-p)

= √25*0.8(1-0.8)

=√4

= 2

probability that exactly 20 favours ban

it follows a binomial distribution

= 25C20 × 0.8²⁰ × 0.2⁵

= 53130 × 0.01153 × 0.00032

= 0.1960

Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960

Multiply 2 to equation (i), we get

[tex]x+2y=30\ ..(iii)[/tex]

By Elimination Method, Add (i) and (ii) (term with x eliminate), we get

[tex]2y-\dfrac{1}{3}y=30-6\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{5}{3}y=24\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{24\times3}{5}=14.4[/tex]

put y= 14.4 in (iii), we get

[tex]x+2(14.4)=30\Rightarrow\ x=30-28.8=1.2[/tex]

Elimination Method, Add (i) and (ii) (term with y eliminate) , we get

[tex]\dfrac53x+\dfrac12x=3\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{10+3}{6}x=3\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{13}{6}x=3\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{18}{13}[/tex]

put [tex]x=\dfrac{18}{13}[/tex]   in (i), we get

[tex]\dfrac{5}{6}(\dfrac{18}{13})+\dfrac{1}{3}y=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{15}{13}+\dfrac{1}{3}y=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{3}y=-\dfrac{15}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-\dfrac{45}{13}[/tex]

hence, [tex]x=\dfrac{18}{13}[/tex]   and [tex]y=\dfrac{-45}{13}[/tex] .

What is the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20)?On the graph of the equation 3x + 2y = 18, what is the value of the y-intercept?

Answers

Answer: The slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) is 4.

The value of the y-intercept is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) = [tex]\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}[/tex]

Then, the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) = [tex]\dfrac{20-12}{4-2}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{2}=4[/tex]

So, the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) is 4.

To find the y-intercept of 3x + 2y = 18, first write in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where c= y-intercept ).

[tex]2y=-3x+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+9[/tex]

By comparison,  c= 9

Hence, the value of the y-intercept is 9.
