You know that the average college student eats 0.75 pounds of food at lunch. If the standard deviation is 0.2 pounds of food, then what is the total amount of food that a cafeteria should have on hand to be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food when feeding 50 college students?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $53.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]\mu=0.75[/tex] pounds

[tex]\sigma= 0.2[/tex] pounds

n= 50

Two tailed critical z-value for 90% confidence level = 1.645

Let x be the total amount of food that a cafeteria should have on hand to be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food .

z-score = [tex]\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]=\dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}[/tex]

Then, [tex]\dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}=1.645[/tex]

[tex]x-0.75=1.645\times0.2\\\\\Riightarrow\ x-0.75=0.329\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 0.329+0.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 1.079[/tex]

Foe 50 students, total amount of food = 1.079 x 50 = $53.95

hence, the cafeteria should have food of amount $53.95 so that it is be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food.

What is exponentiation?

Exponentiation is a mathematical operation that involves two numbers, the base b, and the exponent or power n, and is pronounced as "b raised to the power of n." It is written as bⁿ and is pronounced as "b raised to the power of n."

When n is a positive integer, bⁿ = b × b × b ×...× b (n times)

and b⁻ⁿ = 1/bⁿ ...(1)

When n = 0, bⁿ = 1

How to solve this problem?

Given that a = 6 and n = 2.

Using (1), we get

a⁻² = 6⁻² = 1/6²

Therefore, the 3rd option is correct i.e. if a = 6, then by the property of exponentiation, we can conclude that a⁻² = 1/6².

Answers

Answer: terminating

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

7.2 is a terminating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Terminating decimals are decimals that have an end point. The decimal does not continue to go on and on with numbers but, it stops at one number which makes it terminating.

Repeating decimals are decimals that go on and on with the same number or same patterns of numbers.

So, since 7.2 has an endpoint, then it is a terminating decimal.

expanding the above expression we get

5x+5=4x+32

grouping numbers with coefficient of x at the left side and constant at the right side we get

5x-4x=32-5

x=27

To solve this equation, we start by distributing both the 5 and the 4 through both set of parentheses.

Answer:

Option A) A = 100(1.005)^12t

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Total Amount obtained using compound interest is given as:

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

Where

A = Total amount received or obtained after investing

P = Principal or Initial Amount invested

r = interest rate

n = rate or number of times the interest is compounded

t = time in years.

In the question we obtained this values

P = $100

r = 6% = 0.06

n = compounded monthly, we have 12 months in a year, hence, n = 12

t = t

Using the compound interest formula for Amount A,

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

A = 100(1 + 0.06/12)^12 × t

A = 100(1 + 0.005)^12t

A = 100(1.005)^12t

Therefore, the value of Mari's Investment if the interest is compounded monthly is

A = 100(1.005)^12t

Hence, Option A is correct.

A truck costs $8,000 with a residual value of $1,000. It has an estimated useful life of 7 years. If the truck was bought on July 9 what would be the book value at the end of year 1?

Answers

Answer:

$7520.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of truck = $8000

Residual value = $1000

Estimated useful life = 7 years

Depreciation = (cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life

Depreciation = (8000 - 1000) / 7

Depreciation = 7000 / 7

Depreciation = $1000

Truck was purchased on July 9, Therefore, Depreciation by the end of year one will be;

Number of days between July 9 and year end = 175 days

Daily Depreciation = $1000 / 365 = $2.739

Total Depreciation by year end = (daily Depreciation * 175 days) = $479.45.

Book value at the end of year 1 = (8000 - 479.45)

= $7520.55

Answer:

The answer is "$7,500".

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

In the month of July-December the depreciation:

[tex]\frac{\text{Cost-Residual}}{\text{Useful life}}\times \frac{6}{12} \\[/tex]

Cost-Residual= costs -residual value

Given:

Cost-Residual = $8, 000 - $ 1,00

                        = $7,000

Useful life= 7 years

Put the value in the above-given formula:

[tex]=\frac{7 000}{7}\times \frac{6}{12}\\\\= 1 000\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\= 5 00\\[/tex]

Therefore, the book value on point at the end of one year is:

= $8,000 -$ 500

= $7,500

Answers

Answer:

f(t) = 202,444(1.05)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest Rate Formula: A = P(1 + r)^t

A = final amount

P = principle amount

r = interest rate

t = time

Step 1: Find rate r

212,566.20 = 202,444(1 + r)¹

1.05 = (1 + r)¹

1.05 = 1 + r

r = 0.05

Step 2: Define variables

P = 202,444

r = 0.05

Step 3: Plug in variables into formula

A = 202,444(1 + 0.05)^t

A = 202,444(1.05)^t

It is estimated that 52% of drivers text while driving . What is the probability the next driver texting while driving that a police officer pulls over is the fifth driver?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\bold{sin(38^\circ)=cos(52^\circ)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that [tex]\triangle KJL[/tex] is a right angled triangle.

[tex]\angle JKL = 52^\circ\\\angle KLJ = 38^\circ[/tex]

and

[tex]\angle KJL = 90^\circ[/tex]

To find:

sin(38°) = ?

a) cos(38°)

b) cos(52°)

c) tan(38°)

d) tan(52°)

Solution:

Let us use the trigonometric identities in the given [tex]\triangle KJL[/tex].

We have to find the value of sin(38°).

We know that sine trigonometric identity is given as:

[tex]sin\theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]sin(\angle JLK) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}\\OR\\sin(38^\circ) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}[/tex]....... (1)

Now, let us find out the values of trigonometric functions given in options one by one:

[tex]cos\theta =\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]cos(\angle JLK) = \dfrac{JL}{KL}\\OR\\cos(38^\circ) = \dfrac{JL}{KL}[/tex]....... (2)

By (1) and (2):

sin(38°) [tex]\neq[/tex] cos(38°).

[tex]cos(\angle JKL) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}\\OR\\cos(52^\circ) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}[/tex] ...... (3)

Comparing equations (1) and (3):

Work out the value of angle x

Answers

Answer: 166 degrees

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

Explanation:

The given exterior angle 97 is adjacent to the interior angle 180-97 = 83. This is the base angle of the isosceles triangle. The other base angle is directly above it. The base angles are always opposite the congruent sides.

The missing interior angle (adjacent to the blue angle x) is unknown, so we'll call it angle y. This angle adds to the other two base angles (83 each) to get a sum of 180. Adding any three interior angles of a triangle always gets you 180

y+83+83 = 180

y+166 = 180

y = 180-166

y = 14

Angle x and y are supplementary. They form a 180 degree angle

x+y = 180

x = 180-y

x = 180-14

x = 166

As you can see, the base angles combine to form the exterior angle we're after. This is because of the remote interior angle theorem.
