Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Free Press

[tex]Initial = 12[/tex]

[tex]Rate =5[/tex]

Banner

[tex]Initial=0[/tex]

[tex]Rate =8[/tex]

Solving (a): Free Press Equation

This is calculated as:

[tex]C(x) = Initial + Rate * x[/tex]

Where

[tex]x \to[/tex] days

So, we have:

[tex]C(x) = 12 + 5x[/tex]

Solving (b): Banner Equation

This is calculated as:

[tex]C(x) = Initial + Rate * x[/tex]

Where

[tex]x \to[/tex] days

So, we have:

[tex]C(x) = 0 + 8x[/tex]

[tex]C(x) = 8x[/tex]

Solving (c): Table of values

For free press, we have:

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {C(x)} & {17} & {22} & {27} & {32} & {37} \ \end{array}[/tex]

C(x) is calculated as:

[tex]x = 1;\ C(1) = 12 + 5* 1 =17[/tex]

[tex]x = 2;\ C(2) = 12 + 5* 2 =22[/tex]

..

[tex]x = 5;\ C(5) = 12 + 5* 5 =37[/tex]

For banner, we have:

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {C(x)} & {8} & {16} & {24} & {32} & {40} \ \end{array}[/tex]

C(x) is calculated as:

[tex]x = 1;\ C(1) = 8* 1 =8[/tex]

[tex]x = 2;\ C(2) = 8* 2 =16[/tex]

..

[tex]x = 5;\ C(5) = 8* 5 =40[/tex]

Solving (d): Graph of both using rapidtable

See attachment

Solving (e) Newspaper to use for 1 day

From the graph, when [tex]x = 1[/tex]

[tex]Free\ press = 17[/tex]

[tex]Banner = 8[/tex]

So, we use Banner newspaper because it is cheaper

Solving (f) Newspaper to use for 12 days

From the graph, when [tex]x = 12[/tex]

[tex]Free\ press = 72[/tex]

[tex]Banner = 96[/tex]

So, we use free press newspaper because it is cheaper

Onetta goes to the food court to get a salad and sandwich for lunch. The Daily Deli has 8 varieties of sandwiches and 3 salads. Better Bites has 2 varieties of sandwiches and 7 salads. The Lunch Spot has 5 varieties of sandwiches and 8 salads. Determine the number of ways Onetta can select a sandwich and a salad.

Answers

Answer:

Onetta can salect a sandwich and a salad in 78 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Onetta goes to the food court to get a salad and sandwich for lunch, and the Daily Deli has 8 varieties of sandwiches and 3 salads, while Better Bites has 2 varieties of sandwiches and 7 salads, and the Lunch Spot has 5 varieties of sandwiches and 8 salads, to determine the number of ways Onetta can select a sandwich and a salad, the following calculation must be performed:

8 x 3 + 2 x 7 + 5 x 8 = X

24 + 14 + 40 = X

78 = X

Therefore, Onetta can salect a sandwich and a salad in 78 different ways.

You need to design a rectangle with a perimeter of 14.2 cm. The length must be 2.4 cm. What is the width of the
rectangle? (You might want to draw a picture.)

a) Let w = the width of the rectangle. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.


b) Now solve your equation
* cm.
The width of the rectangle must be. Cm

Answers

Part (a)

Answer: 2(2.4+w) = 14.2

--------------

Explanation:

L = 2.4 = length

W = unknown width

The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)

We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2

========================================================

Part (b)

Answer:   w = 4.7

--------------

Explanation:

We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)

2(2.4+w) = 14.2

2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2

4.8+2w = 14.2

2w = 14.2-4.8

2w = 9.4

w = 9.4/2

w = 4.7

The width must be 4.7 cm.

An airplane takes 3 hours to travel a distance of 2160 miles with the wind. The return trip takes 4 hours against the wind. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind. The speed of the plane in still air is ____ ▼ mph miles hour and the speed of the wind is ____ ▼ mph. hour miles

Answers

Answer:

630 and 90 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of wind be x and the plane speed be y

ATQ, (y+x)*3=2160 and (y-x)*4=2160. Solving it, we will get x=90 and y=630

The speed of the plane in still air is 630 miles per hour and the speed of the wind is 90 miles per hour.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

An airplane takes 3 hours to travel a distance of 2160 miles with the wind. The return trip takes 4 hours against the wind.

Let 'x' be the speed of the plane and 'y' be the speed of the wind. Then the equations are given as,

x + y = (2160 / 3)

x + y = 720                  ...1

x - y = (2160 / 4)

x - y = 540                  ...2

Add equations 1 and 2, then we have

2x = 720 + 540

x = 1260 / 2

x = 630 miles per hour

Then the value of 'y' is calculated as,

630 + y = 720

y = 90 miles per hour

The speed of the plane in still air is 630 miles per hour and the speed of the wind is 90 miles per hour.

Answer:

  (a) 5.82 cm (correctly shown)

  (b) 10.53 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The length BC can be found from the law of sines:

  BD/sin(C) = BC/sin(D)

  BC = BC·sin(C)/sin(D) = (6 cm)sin(48°)/sin(50°) ≈ 5.82 cm

__

b) The angle ABD is the sum of the angles shown:

  angle ABD = 50° +48° = 98°

We know the lengths BA and BD and the included angle ABD, so we can use the law of cosines to find AD.

  AD² = BA² +BD² -2·BA·BD·cos(98°)

  AD² ≈ 8² +5.82² -2(8)(5.82)(-0.139173) ≈ 110.8411

  AD ≈ √110.8411 ≈ 10.53 . . . . cm

An extraneous solution is a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original equation as it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

It emerges from the process of solving the problem as a equation.

2.I begin like:

The vertical asymptotes will occur at those values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero:

for example:

A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective.

b. Suppose a sample of 865 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 112 were defective. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.1295

b) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

112 out of 865, so:

[tex]\pi = \frac{112}{865} = 0.1295[/tex]

Question b:

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].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 865, \pi = 0.1295[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1071[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1519[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).

Given f(x) = {2x-6}/{x-3}, what is the smallest possible integer value for x such that f(x) has a real number value? Thank you!​

Answers

Answer:   x = 4

===========================================================

Explanation:

The given function is

[tex]f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}[/tex]

which is the same as writing f(x) = ( sqrt(2x-6) )/(x-3)

The key for now is the square root term. Specifically, the stuff underneath. This stuff is called the radicand.

Recall that the radicand cannot be negative, or else the square root stuff will result in a complex number. Eg: [tex]\sqrt{-4} = 0+2i[/tex]

The question is basically asking: what is the smallest x such that [tex]\sqrt{2x-6}[/tex] is a real number?

Well if we made 2x-6 as small as possible, ie set it equal to 0, then we can find the answer

[tex]2x-6 = 0\\\\2x = 6\\\\x = 6/2\\\\x = 3\\\\[/tex]

I set the radicand equal to 0 because that's as small as the radicand can get (otherwise, we're dipping into negative territory).

So 2x-6 set equal to 0 leads to x = 3.

This means x = 3 produces the smallest radicand (zero) and therefore, it is the smallest allowed x value for that square root term.

But wait, if we tried x = 3 in f(x), then we get...

[tex]f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{2*3-6}}{3-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{0}}{0}\\\\[/tex]

which isn't good. We cannot have 0 in the denominator. Dividing by zero is not allowed. The result is undefined. It doesn't even lead to a complex number. So we'll need to bump x = 3 up to x = 4. You should find that x = 4 doesn't make the denominator 0.

----------------

In short, we found that x = 3 makes the square root as small as possible while staying a real number, but it causes a division by zero error with f(x) overall. So we bump up to x = 4 instead.

The statement that best compares the variability of the quiz scores for Class A and Class B is A; The scores on the quiz for Class A have more variability than the scores for Class B.

How does the dot plot work?

Suppose we're measuring something whose values are numeric. For each value of that thing we observe, we plot a dot above that value in the number line. Thus, the total number of dots in the dot plot tells us the total number of observations of the values of that thing we did.

LEt suppose if we observed the value 'x', then we will make a dot above 'x'. If there is already a dot over 'x', then we will make a new dot over that dot.

The dot plot is skewed to the right due to majority of the data occur to the right of the dot plot.

An outlier is a number that is way smaller or way larger than that of other numbers in a data set. Outliers usually occur with a frequency of one.

For Class A the dots are spread out more.

For Class B, the dots are more grouped together.

Here, Looking at the dot plot, it can be seen that the numbers that range from 16 to 21 have only one dot.

C Trevor is not correct there cannot be an odd number of roots.

D Trevor is not correct because there cannot be both rational and complex roots.

statements^^^^^^

The statement that f(x) must be a polynomial with degree 3 is not necessarily true based on the given roots.

What is a function?

A function has an input and an output.

A function can be one-to-one or onto one.

It simply indicated the relationships between the input and the output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

Since one of the roots is complex (2i), it follows that the coefficients of f(x) must be complex as well, and therefore f(x) must be a polynomial with complex coefficients.

However, it is possible for f(x) to have a higher degree than 3.

For example,

The polynomial (x + 7)(x - 2i)(x + 2i)(x - 7) has degree 4 and has the given roots of -7, 2i, and 7. Therefore, f(x) could be a polynomial with degree 4 or higher.

Thus,

The statement that f(x) must be a polynomial with degree 3 is not necessarily true based on the given roots.

In a class of 40 statistics majors, each one constructs a 90% confidence interval for the unknown probability p of a weighted coin landing heads. About how many of the 40 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p? About how many will miss it?

Answers

Answer:

36 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p, and 4 will miss it.

Step-by-step explanation:

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b. x% of confidence intervals capture the unknown parameter.

About how many of the 40 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p?

90% of them will capture, so:

0.9*40 = 36

0.1*40 = 4

36 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p, and 4 will miss it.

A motel has a policy of booking as many as 150 guests in a building that holds 140. Past studies indicate that only 85% of booked guests show up for their room. Find the probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

Answers

Answer:

0.0015 = 0.15% probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex], if [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex].

150 guests booked:

This means that [tex]n = 150[/tex]

85% of booked guests show up for their room.

This means that [tex]p = 0.85[/tex]

Is the normal approximation suitable:

[tex]np = 150(0.85) = 127.5[/tex]

[tex]n(1-p) = 150(0.15) = 22.5[/tex]

Both greater than 10, so yes.

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 150*0.85 = 127.5[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{150*0.85*0.15} = 4.3732[/tex]

Find the probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

More than 140 show up, which, using continuity correction, is [tex]P(X > 140 + 0.5) = P(X > 140.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 140.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{140.5 - 127.5}{4.3732}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.97[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.97[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9985.

1 - 0.9985 = 0.0015.

0.0015 = 0.15% probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

The value of my coins if I have p pennies, n nickels and twice as many quarters as pennies.

Answers

Answer:

Total value in cents = 51p+5nTotal value in dollars = (51p+5n)/100

The answer varies depending if your teacher wants the answer in cents only, or in dollars only.

====================================================

Explanation:

p = number of penniesn = number of nickels2p = number of quarters, since we have twice as many quarters compared to pennies.

Based on that, we know,

p = number of cents from the pennies (1 penny = 1 cent)5n = number of cents from the nickels (5 nickels = 5 cents, multiply both sides by n)25(2p) = 50p = number of cents from the quarters

and ultimately

p+5n+50p = 51p+5n

represents the total value of all the coins, and this value is in cents. We would divide by 100 to convert from cents to dollars. So we can say that 51p+5n cents = (51p+5n)/100 dollars

----------------

As an example, let's say

p = 4n = 5

So we have

p = 4 penniesn = 5 nickelsq = 2p = 2*4 = 8 quarters

This would mean we have

p = 4 cents from the pennies only5n = 5*5 = 25 cents from the nickels only25q = 25*8 = 200 cents from the quarters only

Overall we have p+5n+25q = 4+25+200 = 229 cents which converts to 229/100 = $2.29

We can also say 51p+5n = 51*4+5*5 = 204+25 = 229 which is a slight shortcut to get the same result (that result being in cents).

8 meters for every 2inches what is the area of 144 meters squared

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is proportional to the square of the linear scale factor. We can use this to write the proportion ...

  A/(144 m²) = ((2 in)/(8 m))²

  A = (144·4/64) in² = 9 in²

The area representing 144 square meters is 9 square inches.
