The closing price of Schnur Sporting Goods Inc. common stock is uniformly distributed between $16 and $30 per share.
What is the probability that the stock price will be:_______
a) More than $25? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
b) Less than or equal to $18? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
a) 0.3571 = 35.71% probability that the stock price will be more than $25.
b) 0.1429 = 14.29% probability that the stock price will be less than or equal to $18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Uniform probability distribution:
An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:
[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value between c and d is:
[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value above x is:
[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]
Uniformly distributed between $16 and $30 per share.
This means that [tex]a = 16, b = 30[/tex]
a) More than $25?
[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{30 - 25}{30 - 16} = 0.3571[/tex]
0.3571 = 35.71% probability that the stock price will be more than $25.
b) Less than or equal to $18?
[tex]P(X < 18) = \frac{18 - 16}{30 - 16} = 0.1429[/tex]
0.1429 = 14.29% probability that the stock price will be less than or equal to $18.
Use the information below to complete the problem: p(x) = (1)/(x + 1)
and q(x) = (1)/(x - 1)
Perform the operation and show that it results in another rational expression.
p(x) - q(x)
Given:
The functions are:
[tex]p(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+1}[/tex]
[tex]q(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-1}[/tex]
To find:
The rational expression for [tex]p(x)-q(x)[/tex].
Solution:
We have,
[tex]p(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+1}[/tex]
[tex]q(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-1}[/tex]
Now,
[tex]p(x)-q(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+1}-\dfrac{1}{x-1}[/tex]
[tex]p(x)-q(x)=\dfrac{(x-1)-(x+1)}{(x+1)(x-1)}[/tex]
[tex]p(x)-q(x)=\dfrac{x-1-x-1}{x^2-1^2}[/tex] [tex][\because a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)][/tex]
[tex]p(x)-q(x)=\dfrac{-2}{x^2-1}[/tex]
Therefore, the required rational expression for [tex]p(x)-q(x)[/tex] is [tex]\dfrac{-2}{x^2-1}[/tex].
The maximum and minimum values of a quadratic function are called as_______of the function.
Write a linear equation representing the information shown in the table.
A) y = –2∕5x – 5
B) y = –5∕2x – 5
C) y = 5∕2x – 5
D) y = 2∕5x – 5
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many ways to find the linear equation that matches the table, but let's do it so that we find the slope and y-intercept.
Based on the first entry (0,-5), we know that the y-intercept is -5.
To find slope, we take any two points and plug them into this [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]. We'll use the first two points.
[tex]m=\frac{0-(-5)}{2-0} =\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Now, we know the slope is [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex].
The only equation that has the same slope and y-intercept that we found is C.

A political candidate has asked his/her assistant to conduct a poll to determine the percentage of people in the community that supports him/her. If the candidate wants a 3% margin of error at a 90% confidence level, what size of sample is needed
Answer:
A sample size of 752 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 z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
The margin of error is of:
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
90% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].
If the candidate wants a 3% margin of error at a 90% confidence level, what size of sample is needed?
We have no estimate of the proportion, so we use [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex].
The sample size is n for which M = 0.03. So
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.5[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.5}{0.03}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.5}{0.03})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 751.67[/tex]
Rounding up:
A sample size of 752 is needed.

of wallpaper you will need if the height of the family room is x feet, with a
length and width that are each 3 times the height of the room. The family
room has 1 door, which is 3 feet wide and 7 feet tall.
Answer: Given
room height is x feet
room length is 3x feet
room width is 3x feet
a door 3 ft wide by 7 ft tall
Find
The net area of the wall, excluding the door
Solution
The area of the wall, including the door, is the room perimeter multiplied by the height of the room. The room perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four walls.
... gross wall area = (3x +3x +3x +3x)·x = 12x²
The area of the door is the product of its height and width.
... door area = (7 t)×(3 ft) = 21 ft²
Then the net wall area, exclusive of the door is ...
... net wall area = gross wall area - door area
... net wall area = 12x² -21 . . . . square feet

The triangle on the image is a right triangle which means we can use trigonometry to untangle its mysteries.
We have a side an and angle from that we can compute anything.
We will first compute x, we do so by taking the cosine of an angle,
[tex]\cos(45)=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\cos(45)}=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}=\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\boxed{10}[/tex]
Then we can also compute y, simply by using pythagorean theorem,
[tex]10^2=y^2+(5\sqrt{2})^2[/tex]
[tex]y=\pm\sqrt{100-50}=\pm\sqrt{50}=\boxed{5\sqrt{2}}[/tex].
So triangle has sides [tex]5\sqrt{2},5\sqrt{2},10[/tex] which is also known as equilateral triangle.

Ophelia is making homemade spaghetti sauce by combining 48 oz of tomato paste with 6 cups of water.how many ounces of tomatoes paste are needed for every cup of water show your work.
Answer:
8 ounces of tomato paste for each cup of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide 48 / 6 to get 8 oz of tomato paste per cup of water.
Hope this helps!
Work Shown:
48 oz of tomato paste = 6 cups of water
48/6 oz of tomato paste = 6/6 cups of water
8 oz of tomato paste = 1 cup of water
In short, we divide both values by 6 so that the "6 cups" becomes "1 cup". We can say the unit rate is 8 oz of tomato paste per cup of water.

Using Descartes rule of signs;
We write out the signs in front of each term;
Sign = + + - +
Count the number of times the sign alternate; i.e. from positive to negative and from negative to positive
From positive to negative, we have: 1 (i.e. + - )
From negative to positive, we have: 1 (i.e. - +)
Add up the count
[tex]count = 1+1[/tex]
[tex]count = 2[/tex]
Hence, the number of positive real zeros is 2 or 0

2. When shipping ice cream, melting is understandably a big concern. You will notice that ice cream is not generally packaged in a cube-shaped container. A standard container of ice cream contains 1 L, or 1000 cm3 of ice cream,
a. What would be the optimal dimensions (radius and height) to minimize surface area?
b. What would the surface area be?
C. Suggest at least two reasons why this is different from the ice cream packaging that you see in the stores.
Answer:
a) Because this asks about the radius and height, I assume that we are talking about a cylinder shape.
Remember that for a cylinder of radius R and height H the volume is:
V = pi*R^2*H
And the surface will be:
S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2
where pi = 3.14
Here we know that the volume is 1000cm^3, then:
1000cm^3 = pi*R^2*H
We can rewrite this as:
(1000cm^3)/pi = R^2*H
Now we can isolate H to get:
H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)
Replacing that in the surface equation, we get:
S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2
S = 2*pi*R*(1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2) + pi*R^2
S = 2*(1000cm^3)/R + pi*R^2
So we want to minimize this.
Then we need to find the zeros of S'
S' = dS/dR = -(2000cm^3)/R^2 + 2*pi*R = 0
So we want to find R such that:
2*pi*R = (2000cm^3)/R^2
2*pi*R^3 = 2000cm^3
R^3 = (2000cm^3/2*3.14)
R = ∛(2000cm^3/2*3.14) = 6.83 cm
The radius that minimizes the surface is R = 6.83 cm
With the equation:
H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)
We can find the height:
H = (1000cm^3)/(3.14*(6.83 cm)^2) = 6.83 cm
(so the height is equal to the radius)
b) The surface equation is:
S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2
replacing the values of H and R we get:
S = 2*3.14*(6.83 cm)*(6.83 cm) + 3.14*(6.83 cm)^2 = 439.43 cm^2
c) Because if we pack cylinders, there is a lot of space between the cylinders, so when you store it, there will be a lot of space that is not used and that can't be used for other things.
Similarly for transport problems, for that dead space, you would need more trucks to transport your ice cream packages.
An election ballot asks voters to select three city commissioners from a group of six candidates. If your aunt and father are running, what is the probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner
Answer:
0.8 = 80% probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner.
Step-by-step explanation:
The candidates are chosen from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
6 candidates, which means that [tex]N = 6[/tex]
2 are the aunt and father, which means that [tex]k = 2[/tex]
3 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]
What is the probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner?
Probability of at least one of them being chosen, which is:
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = h(0,6,3,2) = \frac{C_{2,0}*C_{4,3}}{C_{6,3}} = 0.2[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8[/tex]
0.8 = 80% probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner.
