Complete Question
Grandpa and Grandma are treating their family to the movies. Matinee tickets cost $4 per child and $4 per adult. Evening tickets cost $6 per child and $8 per adult. They plan on spending no more than $80 on the matinee tickets and no more than $100 on the evening tickets. Could they take 9 children and 4 adults to both shows? Show your work. A yes or no answer is not sufficient for credit.
Answer:
Yes it is possible to take the 9 children and 4 adults to both shows
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The cost of the Matinee tickets for a child is z = $4
The cost of the Matinee tickets for an adult is a = $ 4
The cost of the Evening tickets for a child is k = $6
The cost of the Evening tickets for an adult is b = $8
The maximum amount to be spent on Matinee tickets is m = $80
The maximum amount to be spent on Evening tickets is e = $100
The number of child to be taken to the movies is n = 9
The number of adults to be taken to the movies is j = 4
Now the total amount of money that would be spent on Matinee tickets is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = 4 n + 4 j[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = 4 * 9 + 4* 4[/tex]
[tex]t = 52[/tex]
Now the total amount of money that would be spent on Evening ticket is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]T = 6n + 8j[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]T = 6(9) + 8(4)[/tex]
[tex]T = 86[/tex]
This implies that it is possible to take 9 children and 4 adults to both shows
given that
[tex]t \le m[/tex]
i.e $56 [tex]\le[/tex]$ 80
and
[tex]T \le e[/tex]
i.e $ 86 [tex]\le[/tex] $ 100

A kite is flying 12 ft off the ground. Its line is pulled taut and casts an 8 -ft shadow. Find the length of the line. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answers
14.4 ft~
Step-by-step explanation
A kite is flying 12 feet off the ground, therefore the height is 12 (assuming the line is tied to the ground if a person is holding the line then the height would be less)
Assuming the sun is positioned in such a way that the shadow represents a horizontal distance. Horizontal distance of shadow = 8
Use Pythagoras Theorem
Where a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 12^2 = 208
Square root 208 = 14.4~

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The variable of interest is X: time it takes a customer from Andrew's computer store to pay his invoices.
You have the information of a sample of n= 17 customers
19, 15, 43, 39, 35, 31, 27, 34, 34, 30, 30, 26, 26, 26, 21, 21, 17
To determine the class width of the intervals for the divide the difference between the ending and initial class boundaries by the number of intervals that you want to determine:
Class width: (49.5-14.5)/5= 7
Then, starting from the initial class boundary, you have to add the class width to determine the next boundary, and so on until the ending class boundary:
Initial class boundary: 14.5
14.5 + 5.6= 20.1
1st interval: [14.5; 21.5]
and so on:
[21.5; 28.5]
[28.5; 35.5]
[35.5; 42.5]
[42.5; 49.5]
Once you determined all class intervals, you have to order the values of the data set from least to greatest and then count how many observations correspond to each interval and arrange it in a frequency table.
15, 17, 19, 21, 21, 26, 26, 26, 27, 30, 30, 31, 34, 34, 35, 39, 43
[14.5; 21.5] ⇒ 5
[21.5; 28.5] ⇒ 4
[28.5; 35.5] ⇒ 6
[35.5; 42.5] ⇒ 1
[42.5; 49.5] ⇒ 1
Once you have the data set organized in the table, you can proceed to draw the histogram.

The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article indicating differences in perception of sexual harassment on the job between men and women. The article claimed that women perceived the problem to be much more prevalent than did men. One question asked to both men and women was: "Do you think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace?" Some 24% of the men compared to 62% of the women responded "Yes." Suppose that 150 women and 200 men were interviewed. For a 0.01 level of significance, what is the critical value for the rejection region? a. 7.173 b. 2.33 c. 6.635 d. 7.106
Answers
Answer:
Critical value: b. 2.33
As the test statistic z=7.17 is greater than the critical value, it falls in the rejection region.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of women who think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace is significantly higher than the proportion of men.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.
The claim is that the proportion of women who think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace is significantly higher than the proportion of men.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0[/tex]
The significance level is 0.01.
The sample 1 (women), of size n1=150 has a proportion of p1=0.62.
The sample 2 (men), of size n2=200 has a proportion of p2=0.24.
The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.38.
[tex]p_d=p_1-p_2=0.62-0.24=0.38[/tex]
The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:
[tex]p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{93+48}{150+200}=\dfrac{141}{350}=0.403[/tex]
The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.403*0.597}{150}+\dfrac{0.403*0.597}{200}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.001604+0.001203}=\sqrt{0.002807}=0.053[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.38-0}{0.053}=\dfrac{0.38}{0.053}=7.17[/tex]
The critical value for a right-tailed test with a signficance level of 0.01 is zc=2.33 (see picture attached).
As the test statistic z=7.17 is greater than the critical value, it falls in the rejection region.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of women who think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace is significantly higher than the proportion of men.

If nine of every 11 trick-or-treaters that came to your house last Halloween were dressed as pirates what proportion of trick-or-treaters were not dressed as pirates
Answers
Answer:
11 - 9 = 2 trick-or-treaters out of 11 were not dressed as pirates so the proportion is 2/11.
Answer: Ratio is 2:11
Step-by-step explanation:
So your ratio of pirates to non-pirates would be 9:11
So you subtract number of pirates from total trick-or-treaters and get 2.
So the proportion of non-pirates would be 2:11.
From a group of graduate students including 25 men and 22 women, 37 are chosen to participate in a presentation. What is the probability that exactly 19 men and 18 women are chosen
Answers
Answer:
25.02% probability that exactly 19 men and 18 women are chosen
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
The order in which the men and the women are selected is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
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]
Desired outcomes:
19 men, from a set of 25
18 women, from a set of 22
[tex]D = C_{25,19}*C_{22,18} = \frac{25!}{19!6!}*\frac{22!}{18!4!} = 1295486500[/tex]
Total outcomes:
37 people from a set of 25 + 22 = 47. So
[tex]T = C_{47,37} = \frac{47!}{37!10!} = 5178066751[/tex]
Probability:
[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1295486500}{5178066751} = 0.2502[/tex]
25.02% probability that exactly 19 men and 18 women are chosen
A ball is thrown upward off of a 100 meter cliff with an initial velocity of 6 m/s. The function f(x)=-5x2+6x+100 (graphed below) represents this situation where x is time and y is the distance off of the ground. will mart brainliest yeah
Answers
Answer:
a) The domain of the function is [tex]x \geq 0\,s[/tex] [tex]\wedge[/tex] [tex]x \leq 5.112\,s[/tex]. [tex][0\,s, 5.112\,s][/tex], [tex]\forall x \in \mathbb{R}[/tex], b) The range of the function is [tex]0\,m \leq y \leq 100\,m[/tex]. [tex][0\,m,100\,m][/tex], [tex]\forall y\in \mathbb{R}[/tex], c) The ball is 73 meters off of the ground at x = 3 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete statement is: A ball is thrown upward off of a 100 meter cliff with an initial velocity of 6 m/s. The function [tex]f(x) = -5\cdot x^{2} + 6\cdot x + 100[/tex] represents this situation where x is time and y is the distance off of the ground.
a) What domain does the function make sense?
b) What range does the function make sense ?
c) How far off the ground is the ball at time x = 3 seconds?
a) Let [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]f(x)[/tex] be the time, measured in seconds, and the distance of the ground, measured in meters, respectively. Time is a positive variable, so domain corresponds to the interval when [tex]f(x) \geq 0[/tex] and [tex]t \geq 0[/tex]. That is:
[tex]-5\cdot x^{2} + 6\cdot x + 100 \geq 0[/tex]
[tex]-(x-5.112\,s)\cdot (x+3.912\,s) \geq 0[/tex]
Therefore, the domain of the function is [tex]x \geq 0\,s[/tex] [tex]\wedge[/tex] [tex]x \leq 5.112\,s[/tex]. [tex][0\,s, 5.112\,s][/tex], [tex]\forall x \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]
b) The distance off of the ground is also a positive variable, where ball is thrown upward at a height of 100 meters and hits the ground at a height of 0 meters. Hence, the range of the function is [tex]0\,m \leq y \leq 100\,m[/tex]. [tex][0\,m,100\,m][/tex], [tex]\forall y\in \mathbb{R}[/tex]
c) The distance of the ball off of the ground at x = 3 seconds is found by evaluating the function:
[tex]f(3\,s) = -5\cdot (3\,s)^{2} + 6\cdot (3\,s) + 100[/tex]
[tex]f(3\,s) = 73\,m[/tex]
The ball is 73 meters off of the ground at x = 3 seconds.

Answers
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Number of Red balls = 4
Number of Yellow balls = 3
Number of green balls=7

If we pick three balls of the same color, there are three possibilities: (All Red, All Green Or all Yellow).
Therefore:
The probability that all three balls are the same color (note that the selections are without replacement)
=P(RRR)+P(GGG)+P(YYY)
[tex]=(\frac{4}{14} \times \frac{3}{13} \times \frac{2}{12})+(\frac{3}{14} \times \frac{2}{13} \times \frac{1}{12})+(\frac{7}{14} \times \frac{6}{13} \times \frac{5}{12})\\\\=\frac{1}{91} + \frac{1}{364}+ \frac{5}{52}\\\\=\frac{10}{91}[/tex]
The probability that all three balls are the same color is 10/91.

headwind. Find the speed
the Jet in Still air and the
of the wind.
Answers
Answer:
Jet= 420 mph Wind = 10mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed of the plane in a tailwind can be modeled by x+y where x is the speed of the plane and y is the speed of the wind. Dividing 1290 by 3 gets you the average speed of the jet in a tailwind, which is 430.
The speed of the plane in a headwind can be modeled by x-y where x is the speed of the plane and y is the speed of the wind. Dividing 1230 by 3 gets you the average speed of the jet in a tailwind, which is 410.
This can be modeled by a system of equations, where x+y=430 and x-y=410. Solving the equation you get x=420 and y=10.
So, the speed of the jet is 420 mph and the speed of the wind is 10 mph.
Assortative mating is a nonrandom mating pattern where individuals with similar genotypes and/or phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than what would be expected under a random mating pattern. Researchers studying this topic collected data on eye colors of 204 Scandinavian men and their female partners. The table below summarizes the results (rows represent male eye color while columns represent female eye color). For simplicity, we only include heterosexual relationships in this exercise.

Answer:
a) P(male=blue or female=blue) = 0.71
b) P(female=blue | male=blue) = 0.68
c) P(female=blue | male=brown) = 0.35
d) P(female=blue | male=green) = 0.31
e) We can conclude that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are not independent.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given following information about eye colors of 204 Scandinavian men and their female partners.
Blue Brown Green Total
Blue 78 23 13 114
Brown 19 23 12 54
Green 11 9 16 36
Total 108 55 41 204
a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen male respondent or his partner has blue eyes?
Using the addition rule of probability,
∵ P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
For the given case,
P(male=blue or female=blue) = P(male=blue) + P(female=blue) - P(male=blue and female=blue)
P(male=blue or female=blue) = 114/204 + 108/204 − 78/204
P(male=blue or female=blue) = 0.71
b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen male respondent with blue eyes has a partner with blue eyes?
As per the rule of conditional probability,
P(female=blue | male=blue) = 78/114
P(female=blue | male=blue) = 0.68
c) What is the probability that a randomly chosen male respondent with brown eyes has a partner with blue eyes?
As per the rule of conditional probability,
P(female=blue | male=brown) = 19/54
P(female=blue | male=brown) = 0.35
d) What is the probability of a randomly chosen male respondent with green eyes having a partner with blue eyes?
As per the rule of conditional probability,
P(female=blue | male=green) = 11/36
P(female=blue | male=green) = 0.31
e) Does it appear that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are independent? Explain
If the following relation holds true then we can conclude that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are independent.
∵ P(B | A) = P(B)
P(female=blue | male=brown) = P(female=blue)
or alternatively, you can also test
P(female=blue | male=green) = P(female=blue)
P(female=blue | male=blue) = P(female=blue)
But
P(female=blue | male=brown) ≠ P(female=blue)
19/54 ≠ 108/204
0.35 ≠ 0.53
Therefore, we can conclude that the eye colors of male respondents and their partners are not independent.
