For this problem, use the tables and charts shown in this section. (Use picture provided)
A United States Citizen returning to the States declares the following items at the customs office:
3 shirts at $8.50 each
2 dresses at $27.50 each
1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair
If he has not used his duty free exemption yet, how much duty should he pay?
0 $0.00
$5.00
$10.00
$300

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be 'a' and the second number be 'b'. If the sum of the first and twice the second is 400 then;

a+2b = 400 ....

From the equation above, a = 400 - 2b ... 2

If the product of the numbers is a maximum then;

ab = (400-2b)b

let f(b) be the product of the function.

f(b) = (400-2b)b

f(b) = 400b-2b²

For the product to be at the maximum then f'(b) must be equal to zero i.e f'(b) = 0

f'(b)= 400-4b = 0

400-4b = 0

400 = 4b

b = 400/4

b = 100

Substituting b= 100 into the equation a = 400 - 2b to get a;

a = 400 - 2(100)

a = 400 - 200

a = 200

The two positive integers are 100 and 200.

Answer:

The correlation of X and Y is 1.006

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

X: 2, 3, 5, 6

Y: 1, 2, 4, 5

n = 4

Required

Determine the correlation of x and y

Start by calculating the mean of x and y

For x

[tex]M_x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]M_x = \frac{2 + 3+5+6}{4}[/tex]

[tex]M_x = \frac{16}{4}[/tex]

[tex]M_x = 4[/tex]

For y

[tex]M_y = \frac{\sum y}{n}[/tex]

[tex]M_y = \frac{1+2+4+5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]M_y = \frac{12}{4}[/tex]

[tex]M_y = 3[/tex]

Next, we determine the standard deviation of both

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x - Mean)^2}{n - 1}}[/tex]

For x

[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - Mx)^2}{n -1}}[/tex]

[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{(2-4)^2 + (3-4)^2 + (5-4)^2 + (6-4)^2}{4 - 1}}[/tex]

[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{-2^2 + (-1^2) + 1^2 + 2^2}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{4 + 1 + 1 + 4}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{10}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]S_x = \sqrt{3.33}[/tex]

[tex]S_x = 1.82[/tex]

For y

[tex]S_y = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (y_i - My)^2}{n - 1}}[/tex]

[tex]S_y = \sqrt{\frac{(1-3)^2 + (2-3)^2 + (4-3)^2 + (5-3)^2}{4 - 1}}[/tex]

[tex]S_y = \sqrt{\frac{-2^2 + (-1^2) + 1^2 + 2^2}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]S_y = \sqrt{\frac{4 + 1 + 1 + 4}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]S_y = \sqrt{\frac{10}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]S_y = \sqrt{3.33}[/tex]

[tex]S_y = 1.82[/tex]

Find the N pairs as [tex](x-M_x)*(y-M_y)[/tex]

[tex](2 - 4)(1 - 3) = (-2)(-2) = 4[/tex]

[tex](3 - 4)(2 - 3) = (-1)(-1) = 1[/tex]

[tex](5 - 4)(4 - 3) = (1)(1) = 1[/tex]

[tex](6-4)(5-3) = (2)(2) = 4[/tex]

Add up these results;

[tex]N = 4 + 1 + 1 + 4[/tex]

[tex]N = 10[/tex]

Next; Evaluate the following

[tex]\frac{N}{S_x * S_y} * \frac{1}{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10}{1.82* 1.82} * \frac{1}{4-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10}{3.3124} * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10}{9.9372}[/tex]

[tex]1.006[/tex]

Hence, The correlation of X and Y is 1.006

Answer:

[tex]y+6=-\frac{1}{2} (x-3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since point-slope form is  [tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex], you have to plug in the values given to you to create the equation. The "y1" is the "y" coordinate given to us, while the x1 is the x coordinate given to us. So, you have to plug in the x and y coordinates, 3 and -6, into the equation. Since two negatives cancel out to be a positive, y--6= y+6. The "m" stands for the slope, so -1/2 is inserted into the equation, giving us  [tex]y+6=-\frac{1}{2} (x-3)[/tex].

Answer:

The value of x is 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the outer angle of the parallelogram is 60 degrees. Therefore it's respective inner angle will be 180 - 60 = 120 degrees. And, by properties of a parallelogram, the angle opposite to this angle will be 120 degrees as well.

If we draw extend the line creating angle 2x, then we will make ( 1 ) a vertical angle to 2x, ( 2 ) a 90 degree angle, and ( 3 ) and angle that we can let be y. Therefore, 2x + y = 90, and 3x + y = 120.

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2x+y=90\\ 3x+y=120\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ,

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}6x+3y=270\\ 6x+2y=240\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ,

k = 4 ; N = 106

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of the one way ANOVA :

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SS - - - - df - - MS - - - - - F

Between groups - 1,959.79 - 3 - - 653.26 - 21.16*

Error - - - - - - - - - - 3,148.61 - -102 --30.86

Total - - - - - - - - - - 5,108.41 - 105

To obtain the value of 'k' which is the number of groups observed :

The degree of freedom between groups or degree of freedom of treatment (DFT) is obtained by the formula:

Number of observed groups(k) - 1

DFT = k - 1

From the ANOVA result ; degree of freedom between groups = 3

Hence,

3 = k - 1

k = 3 +1 = 4

Hence, number of observed groups = 4

To obtain N;

N is related to k and the degree of freedom Error (DFE)

DFE = N - k

From the ANOVA result, DFE = 102 and k = 4

102 = N - 4

102 + 4 = N

N = 106

Answer:

a) P(x<40) = 0.90824

Therefore, the percent of the women watch TV less than 40 hours per week is 0.90824 × 100 = 90.8240%

b)P(x>25) = 1 - P(z = -0.78) = 0.7823

Therefore, percent of the men watch TV more than 25 hours per week?is 0.7823 × 100 = 78.230%

c)The number of hours that the one percent of WOMEN who watch the most TV per week watch is for 44.485hours

While, for the MEN, the number of hours that the one percent of men who watch the most TV per week watch is for 40.883 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using z score formula:

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

a. What percent of the women watch TV less than 40 hours per week? (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 4 decimal places.)

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score = 40 hours

μ is the population mean = 34 hours

σ is the population standard deviation = 4.5

z = (40 - 34)/4.5

z = 1.33333

Approximately to 2 decimal places = z score = 1.33

Using the normal distribution z score table

Probabilty value from Z-Table:

P(z = 1.33) = P(x<40) = 0.90824

Therefore, the percent of the women watch TV less than 40 hours per week is 0.90824 × 100 = 90.8240%

b. What percent of the men watch TV more than 25 hours per week? (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 4 decimal places.)

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score = 25 hours

μ is the population mean = 29 hours

σ is the population standard deviation = 5.1

z = (25 - 29)/5.1

z = -0.78431

Approximately to 2 decimal places

z score = -0.78

Using the z score normal distribution table:

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(z = -0.78) = P(x<Z) = 0.2177

P(x>25) = 1 - P(z = -0.78) = 0.7823

Therefore, percent of the men watch TV more than 25 hours per week?is 0.7823 × 100 = 78.230%

c. How many hours of TV do the one percent of women who watch the most TV per week watch? Find the comparable value for the men. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

First, we find what the z score is.

We were asked in the question to find how many hours 1% of the women watch TV the most.

We have to find the confidence interval

100 - 1% = 99%

The z score for the confidence interval of 99% or 0.99(in decimal form) = 2.33

z score = 2.33

Since we know the z score now, we proceed to find x = raw score.

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score = unknown

μ is the population mean = 34 hours

σ is the population standard deviation = 4.5

2.33= (x - 34)/4.5

Cross Multiply

2.33 × 4.5 = x - 34

10.485 = x - 34

x = 10.485 + 34

x = 44.485 hours.

Therefore, the number of hours that the one percent of women who watch the most TV per week watch is for 44.485hours

In the question, we were also asked to find the comparable value for men.

Hence, for one percent of the men.

We determine what the z score is.

We were asked in the question to find how many hours 1% of the men watch TV the most.

We have to find the confidence interval

100 - 1% = 99%

The z score for the confidence interval of 99% or 0.99(in decimal form) = 2.33

We already have our z score as 2.33

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score = unknown

μ is the population mean = 29 hours

σ is the population standard deviation = 5.1

2.33= (x - 29)/5.1

Cross Multiply

2.33 × 5.1 = x - 29

11.883 = x - 29

x = 11.883 + 29

x = 40.883 hours.

Therefore, the number of hours that the one percent of men who watch the most TV per week watch is for 40.883 hours

Answer:

The angle measures are 53.5° and 36.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations, assuming x and y are the angle measures.

Since the two angles are complementary, their angle measures will add up to 90.

x + y = 90

x - y = 17

We can now use the process of elimination, and end up with:

2x = 107

Dividing both sides by two gets us

x = 53.5

Substituting this value into an equation will get us y

53.5 + y = 90

y = 36.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form an equation like this:

19.95 + .18x = 50

In this equation, "x" is the number of miles.

=> 19.95 - 19.95 +.18x = 50 -19.95

=> .18x = 30.05

=> .18x/.18 = 30.05/.18

=> x = 166.9

Ashton can drive 166.9 miles.

**Note: We cannot round the answer to 167, as she would not have enough money to drive the extra 0.1 mile.

Answer:

The distribution is  Poisson distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   An expected number of fish was caught per hour is  1.5

The distribution that best characterize the number of fish you catch in one hour of fishing is the Poisson distribution

   This because generally the  Poisson distribution is a distribution that shows the number of times a given event will occur within a defined period of time

b. No, the requirements are not met because the sample has fewer than 10 failures, which violates the condition for approximating a normal distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question,  the number of successes is equal to 30

and it is more than the number of failures

for us to conduct this test such as the z test the data we are using should be a random sample from the population that we are interested in. the population should be at least as big as the sample by 10 times. first of all We need to check if the mean of the sample is normally distributed.

if 26 are successes out of a sample of 30, then failures would be 4. therefore option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line using a point and slope we use the formula

where m is the slope

(x1 ,y1) is the given point

From the question

slope = 3/2

point = ( 2 , - 1)

Substitute these values into the above formula

That's

[tex]y + 1 = \frac{3}{2} (x - 2)[/tex]

[tex]y + 1 = \frac{3}{2} x - 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{2} x - 3 - 1[/tex]

We have the final answer as

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

Hope this helps you

Answer:

y= 3/2x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given a point and a slope, we can use the point-slope formula.

[tex]y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})[/tex]

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point the line passes through.

We know the slope is 3/2 and the point we are given is (2, -1).

[tex]m=\frac{3}{2} \\\\x_{1} = 2\\\\y_{1} = -1[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]y- -1 = \frac{3}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\frac{3}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

We want to find the equation of line , which is y=mx+b ( m is the slope and b is the y-intercept). Therefore, we must get y by itself on the left side of the equation.

First, distribute the 3/2. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3/2.

[tex]y+1= (\frac{3}{2} * x) + (\frac{3}{2} *-2)[/tex]

[tex]y+1= \frac{3}{2}x + (\frac{3}{2} *-2)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\frac{3}{2} x + -3[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\frac{3}{2} x -3[/tex]

Next, subtract 1 from both sides.

[tex]y+1-1=\frac{3}{2} x + -3 -1[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{3}{2} x + -3 -1[/tex]

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

Now the line is in slope intercept form, therefore the equation of the line is y=3/2x -4. The slope of the line is 3/2 and the y-intercept is -4.

-6+1=-5

So over the course of 15 holes, he had a COMBINED total of +1.

The three remaining holes, he scored -2 on each of them.

The golfer score -2 in the three remaining holes.

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

It is given that the more negative the score, the better it is. A golfer's combined score for the 18 holes is -5.

The golfer score -2 on each of the several holes.

3*(-2)=-6

Then on all the other holes the golfer scored a combined total of +1.

-6+1 = -5

So, the course of 15 holes, he had a combined the total of +1.

Then the three remaining holes, he scored -2 on each of them.

Hence, the golfer score -2 in the three remaining holes.

[tex]s''(0.811\,s) = -0.0006474\cdot (0.811\,s)^{3}+0.0108444\cdot (0.811\,s)^{2}-0.053736\cdot (0.811\,s)+0.07258[/tex]

Each value is evaluated in order to determine when sugar was the cheapest and the most expensive:

Cheapest (Absolute minimum)

[tex]s(0.811\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (0.811\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (0.811\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (0.811\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (0.811\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (0.811\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(0.811\,s) = 0.460[/tex]

[tex]s(7.431\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (7.431\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (7.431\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (7.431\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (7.431\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (7.431\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(7.431\,s) = 0.491[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.811\,s[/tex] contains the cheapest reference to sugar.

Most expensive (Absolute maximum)

[tex]s(4.511\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (4.511\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (4.511\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (4.511\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (4.511\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (4.511\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(4.511\,s) = 0.503[/tex]

[tex]s(9.511\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (9.511\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (9.511\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (9.511\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (9.511\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (9.511\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(9.511\,s) = 0.498[/tex]

[tex]t = 4.511\,s[/tex] contains the most expensive reference to sugar.

The required values are,

[tex]t=0.881199[/tex] at the cheapest.

[tex]t=4.51081[/tex] at the most expensive.

A high point is called a maximum (plural maxima ). A low point is called a minimum (plural minima ).

Given equation is,

[tex]S(t) = -0.00003237t^5 + 0.0009037t^4- 0.008956t^3 + 0.03629t^2-0.04547t + 0.4778[/tex]

Differentiating the given equation we get,

[tex]S'(t)=-0.00003237\times 5t^4+0.0009037\times 4t^3-0.008956\times 3t^2+0.03629\times 2t-0.04547+0\\S'(t)=0\\-0.00003237\times 5t^4+0.0009037\times 4t^3-0.008956\times 3t^2+0.03629\times 2t-0.04547+0=0\\t=0.881199\\t=4.51081\\t=7.43087\\t=9.51137\\[/tex]

Now we can directly plug those fours values of t into given function S(t) to find which one gives max or minimum or you can also use the 2nd derivative test. Although that is not compulsory

[tex]t=0.881199,S(t)=0.46031095\\t=4.51081, S(t)=0.50278423\\t=7.43087, S(t)=0.49096762\\t=9.51137, S(t)=0.49832202\\[/tex]

We see that sugar is cheapest at [tex]t=0.881199[/tex] which is approx 1 and corresponds to the year [tex]1993+1=1994[/tex]

Similarly sugar is most expensive at [tex]t=4.51081[/tex] which is approx 5 and corresponds to year [tex]1993+5=1998[/tex]
