Answer:
54, 55, 56, 57, 58
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
56 problems
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation.
[tex]\frac{3}{5}x<35<\frac{13}{20}x[/tex]
Why do we do this? We are told that she solved MORE than 60%, or [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex], and LESS than 65%, or [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex]. Therefore, if we set the TOTAL number of problems to x, we have an equation we can solve.
[tex]\frac{3}{5}x<35<\frac{13}{20}x\\[/tex]
Multiply all parts of the inequality by 20 to get rid of the denominators.
[tex]20*\frac{3}{5}x<20*35<20*\frac{13}{20}x\\ \\12x<700<13x[/tex]
Now we can solve TWO individual inequalities to isolate the x variable.
[tex]12x<700\\x<\frac{700}{12}\\x < 175/3\\x<58[/tex]
We can approximate 175/3 to about 58 (rounding down). We will sometimes round down when we have to deal with whole numbers.
The second inequality is as follows.
[tex]13x>700\\x>700/13\\x>53[/tex]
Therefore, we can combine the two inequalities.
[tex]53<x<58[/tex]
There were in between 53 and 58 questions. Since the number of questions must be a whole number, there can be 54, 55, 56, 57, OR 58. Why does 58 also work? When you plug 58 back into the original equation, you get that it STILL works. This is due to the fact that inaccuracies in computations allow you to round UP.
However, the last thing to keep in mind is that there are four sections with an equal number of questions. Meaning, the final answer has to be a multiple of four. The only multiple of 4 is 56; therefore, the final answer is 56.
2. The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle each have a length of 4x + y - 5. The perimeter of the triangle is
10x + 4y - 18. Determine the length of the third side. Explain how you found your answer. (4 marks)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
2x +2y -8
Step-by-step explanation:
If the equal sides are 'a' and the third side is 'b', then the perimeter is ...
P = a +a +b = 2a +b
The length of the third side is then ...
b = P -2a . . . . . . subtract 2a from both sides
Substituting the given expressions, we find ...
b = (10x +4y -18) -2(4x +y -5)
b = 10x +4y -18 -8x -2y +10
b = 2x +2y -8 . . . . the length of the third side

I call this a "sum and difference problem" because we are given the total of two values and the difference between them. As you can see here, the larger of the two values is the average of the given numbers, their sum divided by 2. This is the generic solution to such a problem: the larger number is the average of the given sum and difference.
michael has an average of 68% in his 3 papers but that is below the pass mark of 70%. what must be his least score in the fouth paper to enable him pass?
Answer:
His least score for him in the fourth paper has to be 76.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Michael has an average of 68% in his 3 papers but that is below the pass mark of 70%, to determine what must be his least score in the fouth paper to enable him pass the following calculation must be performed:
(70 x 4) - (68 x 3) = X
280 - 204 = X
76 = X
Therefore, his least score for him in the fourth paper has to be 76.

Which of the following could be the equation of the graph shown below?
Answer:
According to the proposed interrogate, as well as the graph provided, the correct answers to such are identified as B. Y = -2x + 5 and C. 2x + y = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate such, a comprehension of linear Cartesian data is required:
Slope = rise/run. If there is a negative rise, the direction of the line is proportional to the left-hand side as it exponentially grows or augments in units.
Y-intercept: The peculiar point in which the linear data observed intersects the y-axis.
X-intercept: The peculiar point in which the linear data observed intersects the x-axis.
Since this is a negative linear, all negative slopes apply.
The interrogate states, “Check all that apply.” Thus, there may be more than one correct answer, shall such be disseminated.
A. Cannot be the answer as the line should have been a horizontal line contained within quadrants I and II on the Cartesian Plane.
B. Contains a negative slope, thus is disclosed as a correct answer.
C. This configuration is denoted in “Standard Form” or “General Form”. To convert this to “Slope-Intercept Form” the following must be executed mathematically:
2x + y = 4
Y = -2x + 4 <== Slope-Intercept Form (Contains a negative slope, thus considered a correct answer.
D. Likewise, this configuration is denoted in “Standard Form” or “General Form”. To convert this to “Slope-Intercept Form” the following must be executed mathematically:
X - y = 9
-y = -x + 9
Y = x - 9 <== Slope-Intercept Form (Cannot be considered as the correct answer, given the positive slope configuration, thus is marked out).
Thus far, as evaluated, the correct answers to the proposed interrogate, as according to the linear data provided in the Cartesian Plane is acknowledged, and henceforth disseminated, as B. Y = -2x + 5 and C. 2x + y = 4.

We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Are any of the three requirements violated? Can a test about a population proportion using the normal approximation method be used?
Answer:
The sample observations are not a randomsample, so a test about a population proportion using the normal approximating method cannot be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
The necessary conditions are
The sample must be random and independently selected from the normally distributed population.
n*p and n*q both must be greater than 5
There must be two outcomes "success" and "failure"
The number of trials must be fixed.
From the given information 2), 3)and 4) conditions are satisfied, but not 1) because we are not given that people are selected randomly.
Answer: The sample observations are not a randomsample, so a test about a population proportion using the normal approximating method cannot be used.

Answer:
The right answer is:
(a) -10.67
(b) 0.7986
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
According to the question,
X P(X) X.P(X) X2.P(X)
12130 0.002 24.26 294274
-35 0.998 -34.93 1222.55
Now,
[tex]\Sigma x.P(x) = -10.67[/tex]
or,
[tex]\Sigma x^2.P(x) = 295496.35[/tex]
hence,
The mean will be:
[tex]\Sigma x.P(x) = -10.67[/tex]
(b)
According to the question,
n = 12
p = 0.125
q = 1 - p
= 0.875
Now,
⇒ [tex]P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x} p^x q^{n-x}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]P(X \geq 1)=1-(\binom{12}{0} 0.125^0. 0.875^{12-0})[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=1-(1 (0.125^0) (0.875^{12}))[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=1-(1(1.0)(0.2014))[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=1-(0.2014)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=0.7986[/tex]
For a certain company, the cost for producing x items is 40x+300 and the revenue for selling x items is 80x−0.5x2. The profit that the company makes is how much it takes in (revenue) minus how much it spends (cost). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least wants to make a profit!
Part a: Set up an expression for the profit from producing and selling x items. We assume that the company sells all of the items that it produces. (Hint: it is a quadratic polynomial.)
Part b: Find two values of x that will create a profit of $300.
The field below accepts a list of numbers or formulas separated by semicolons (e.g. 2;4;6 or x+1;x−1). The order of the list does not matter. To enter a−−√, type sqrt(a).
Part c: Is it possible for the company to make a profit of $15,000?
Answer:
The profit is maximum when x = 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost function, C = 40 x + 300
Revenue function, R = 80 x - 0.5 x^2
The profit function is
[tex]P = R - C\\\\P = 80 x - 0.5 x^2 - 40 x - 300\\\\P = - 0.5 x^2 + 40 x - 300\\\\\frac{dP}{dx} = - x + 40\\\\So, \frac{dP}{dx} = 0\\\\-x + 40 = 0 \\\\x = 40[/tex]
So, the profit is maximum when x = 40 .

A study by researchers at a university addressed the question of whether the mean body temperature of an animal is 98 6°F Among other data, the researchers obtained the body temperatures of 109 healthy animals. Suppose you want to use those data to decide whether the mean body temperature of healthy animals is less than 98.6°F.
Required:
a. Determine the null hypothesis
b. Determine the alternative hypothesis
Answer:
H0 : μ ≥ 98.6
H1 : μ < 98.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The population mean temperature, μ = 98.6
The null hypothesis takes up the value of the population mean temperature as the initial truth ;
The alternative hypothesis on the other hand is aimed at using a sample size of 109 to establish if the mean temperature is less than the population mean temperature.
The hypothesis ;
Null hypothesis, H0 : μ ≥ 98.6
Alternative hypothesis ; H1 : μ < 98.6
A two-dimensional vector has an x-component of 10.3~\text{meters}10.3 meters and a y-component of 4.30~\text{meters}4.30 meters. Calculate the angle (in degrees) that this two-dimensional vector makes with the positive x-axis.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
23°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle a vector makes relative to the +x axis is found as ...
α = arctan(y/x) = arctan(4.30/10.3) ≈ 22.66°
The angle is about 23°.
__
Additional comment
This vector resides in the first quadrant, so no adjustment of the angle is needed. In other quadrants, 180° may need to be added or subtracted from the angle given by the arctan function to arrive at the correct value. (Some calculators and spreadsheets have an ATAN2(x, y) function that takes signs into account.)
An experiment consists of tossing a pair of balanced, six-sided dice. (a) Use the combinatorial theorems to determine the number of sample points in the sample space S. 36 Correct: Your answer is correct. sample points (b) Find the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice is equal to 6. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Answer:
Sample space = 36
P(sum of 6) = 5/36
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of faces on a dice = 6
The sample space, for a toss of 2 dice ; (Number of faces)^number of dice
Sample space = 6^2 = 6*6 = 36
Sum of numbers appearing on the dice = 6
The sum of 6 from the roll of two dice has 5 different outcomes ; Hence, required outcome = 5
Total possible outcomes = sample space = 36
Probability, P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
P = 5 / 36
Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events
The given parameters are:
[tex]n=6[/tex] --- the faces of a six-sided die
[tex]r = 2[/tex] -- the number of dice
(a) The number of sample points
This is calculated as:
[tex]Sample = n^r[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Sample = 6^2[/tex]
Evaluate the exponent
[tex]Sample = 36[/tex]
Hence, the number of sample points is 36
(b) The probability that the sum of 6
See attachment for the sample space of the sum of two dice.
From the sample space, there are 5 outcomes where the sum is 6.
So, the probability is:
[tex]Pr = \frac{5}{36}[/tex] --- where 36 represents the number of sample points
Divide 5 by 36
[tex]Pr = 0.1389[/tex]
Hence, the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice is equal to 6 is 0.1389

Dodi bicycles 14mph with no wind. Against the wind, Dodi bikes 10mi in the same time it takes to bike 20mi with the wind. What is the speed of the wind?
Answer:
4.67 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed with no wind = 14 mph
Let wind speed = w mph
Thus;
Speed with wind = 14 + w
Speed against the wind = 14 - w
Now, we are told that against the wind he bikes 10 miles.
Thus, from; time = distance/speed, we have;
Time = 10/(14 - w)
Also, we are told he biked 20 miles with the wind. Thus;
Time = 20/(14 + w)
We are told the times he used in both cases are the same.
Thus;
10/(14 - w) = 20/(14 + w)
Divide both sides by 10 to get;
1/(14 - w) = 2/(14 + w)
Cross multiply to get:
1(14 + w) = 2(14 - w)
14 + w = 28 - 2w
w + 2w = 28 - 14
3w = 14
w = 14/3
w = 4.67 mph
A savings and loan association needs information concerning the checking account balances of its local customers. A random sample of 14 accounts was checked and yielded a mean balance of $664.14 and a standard deviation of $279.29. Find a 99% confidence interval for the true mean checking account balance for local customers.
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the true mean checking account balance for local customers is ($439.29, $888.99).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 14 - 1 = 13
99% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 13 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 3.0123
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.0123\frac{279.29}{\sqrt{14}} = 224.85[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 664.14 - 224.85 = $439.29
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 664.14 + 224.85 = $888.99.
The 99% confidence interval for the true mean checking account balance for local customers is ($439.29, $888.99).
