Answer:

1) A

B) 5.818 stops

Step-by-step explanation:

Number One is less than or equal to 21 because the person only has 21 dollars, so she can't spend more than 21.

B can be solved through the equation by first subtracting $5, and then dividing 2.75 by 16.

The estimated slope is approximately 2.344

The given table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}Number \ of Bids &&Price \ in \ Dollars\\1&&23\\2&&34\\4&&44\\9&&46\\10&&50\end{array}[/tex]

The required parameter is;

The estimated slope

The method to find the estimate slope;

The least squares regression formula (method) is presented as follows;

[tex]\bar u = b_0 + b\cdot \bar x[/tex]

Where;

b₀ = The y-intercept

[tex]\mathbf{ b = \dfrac{\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right) \times \left(u_i - \bar u\right) }{\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right )^2 } = The \ estimated \ slope}[/tex]

From MS Excel, we have;

[tex]\bar x[/tex] = 5.2, [tex]\bar u[/tex] = 39.4

[tex]\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right) \times \left(u_i - \bar u\right)[/tex] = 156.6

[tex]{\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right )^2 }[/tex] = 66.8

Therefore;

The estimated slope, b = 156.6/66.8 ≈ 2.344 (by rounding the answer to three decimal places)

Answer:

  perimeter ≈ 12.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The side adjacent to the angle is given. The relationships useful for the other two sides are ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

From these, we have ...

  opposite = 5·tan(22°) ≈ 2.02

  hypotenuse = 5/cos(22°) ≈ 5.39

Then the perimeter is ...

  P = a + b + c = 2.02 + 5 + 5.39 = 12.41

The perimeter of ∆ABC is about 12.4 units.

A sample of 900 computer chips revealed that 61% of the chips fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature claimed that under 64% fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to support the company's claim

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0301 > 0.02, which means that there is not sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to support the company's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The company's promotional literature claimed that under 64% fail in the first 1000 hours of their use.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of at least 64%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \geq 0.64[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of less than 64%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.64[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

64% is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.64, \sigma = \sqrt{0.64*0.36}[/tex]

A sample of 900 computer chips revealed that 61% of the chips fail in the first 1000 hours of their use.

This means that [tex]n = 900, X = 0.61[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.61 - 0.64}{\frac{\sqrt{0.64*0.36}}{\sqrt{900}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.88[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.61, which is the p-value of z = -1.88.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.88 has a p-value of 0.0301.

The p-value of the test is 0.0301 > 0.02, which means that there is not sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to support the company's claim.

question is

The population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentage of the total population is approximated by the function f(t) = 10.72(0.9t + 10)^0.3 (0 <= t < = 20)

where t is measured in years, with t=0 corresponding to the year 2000.

Required:
a. At what rate was the percentage of Americans age 55 and older changing at the beginning of 2002?
b. At what rate will the percentage of Americans age 55 and older be changing in 2017?
c. What will be the percentage of the population of Americans age 55 and older in 2017?

Answers

Answer:

Part A)

About 0.51% per year.

Part B)

About 0.30% per year.

Part C)

About 28.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentange of the total population is approximated by the function:

[tex]f(t) = 10.72(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{ where } 0 \leq t \leq 20[/tex]

Where t is measured in years with t = 0 being the year 2000.

Part A)

Recall that the rate of change of a function at a point is given by its derivative. Thus, find the derivative of our function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = \frac{d}{dt} \left[ 10.72\left(0.9t+10\right)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

Rewrite:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\frac{d}{dt} \left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

We can use the chain rule. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [u(v(x))] = u'(v(x)) \cdot v'(x)[/tex]

Let:

[tex]\displaystyle u(t) = t^{0.3}\text{ and } v(t) = 0.9t+10 \text{ (so } u(v(t)) = (0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{)}[/tex]

Then from the Power Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle u'(t) = 0.3t^{-0.7}\text{ and } v'(t) = 0.9[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right]= 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\left( 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9 \right)[/tex]

And simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 2.8944(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}[/tex]

For 2002, t = 2. Then the rate at which the percentage is changing will be:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(2) = 2.8944(0.9(2)+10)^{-0.7} = 0.5143...\approx 0.51[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percentage is increasing by about 0.51% per year.

Part B)

Evaluate f'(t) when t = 17. This yields:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(17) = 2.8944(0.9(17)+10)^{-0.7} =0.3015...\approx 0.30[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percetange is increasing by about 0.30% per year.

Part C)

For this question, we will simply use the original function since it outputs the percentage of the American population 55 and older. Thus, evaluate f(t) when t = 17:

[tex]\displaystyle f(17) = 10.72(0.9(17)+10)^{0.3}=28.2573...\approx 28.26[/tex]

So, about 28.26% of the American population in 2017 are age 55 and older.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (9, 1) and (9,-4).

Answers

Answer:

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

(9, 1 ) and (9, - 4 )

Since the x- coordinates of the 2 points are 9, then the line is vertical and parallel to the y- axis with slope being undefined.

Slope is the change in y over the change in x.

Slope = (-4 - 1) / (9 -9) = -5/0 you cannot divide by 0,so the slope is undefined. This means it is a vertical line

For two, because the line EC is running flat it is equal to 180. Because their is a little box on the other side of 1 & 2, we know that is equivalent to 90 degrees. Therefore the other side (1 &2) HAS to be 90, because the line in which they are on is 180, 90+ 90 = 180.

Answer: 0.0000000015 = 1.5 × 10⁻⁹

Concept:

When converting an integer to scientific notation:

- If the number is ≥1, then count the moves of the decimal point to the right until the number is 0<number<10. The number of moves will be the exponent that is positive.

- For example: If converting 300, since there are two moves until it is left with 0<3<10. Thus, the scientific notation will be 3 × 10²

- If the number is <1, then count the moves of the decimal point to the left until the number is 0<number<10. The number of moves will be the exponent that is negative.

- For example: If converting 0.004, since there are three moves until it is left with 0<4<10. Thus, the scientific notation will be 4 × 10⁻³

Solve:

0.0000000015

The decimal point needs to move 9 times to the left to get a number that is between 0 and 10. The number is 1.5.

Thus, the scientific notion of 0.0000000015 will be 1.5 × 10⁻⁹

Answers

Answer:

To maximize the monthly rental profit, 90 units should be rented out.

The maximum monthly profit realizable is $38,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, y_{v})[/tex]

In which

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]y_{v}[/tex].

In this question:

Quadratic equation with [tex]a = -12, b = 2160, c = -59000[/tex]

To maximize the monthly rental profit, how many units should be rented out?

This is the x-value of the vertex, so:

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{2160}{2(-12)} = \frac{2160}{24} = 90[/tex]

To maximize the monthly rental profit, 90 units should be rented out.

What is the maximum monthly profit realizable?

This is p(90). So

[tex]p(90) = -12(90)^2 + 2160(90) - 59000 = 38200[/tex]

The maximum monthly profit realizable is $38,200.
