Assume that the GMAT scores across the U.S. follow a bell shaped distribution (symmetric and unimodal) with mean 549 and standard deviation 76. Use the Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7 rule) to answer the following question: What is the GMAT score corresponding to the 16th percentile

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The GMAT score corresponding to the 16th percentile is 473.

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical Rule.

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

68% of the measures within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

This means that they are between the 50 - (68/2) = 50 - 34 = 16th percentile(one standard deviation below the mean) and the 50 + (68/2) = 50 + 34 = 84th percentile(one standard deviation above the mean).

In this question:

Mean of 549, standard deviation of 76.

16th percentile:

One standard deviation below the mean, so 549 - 76 = 473.

The GMAT score corresponding to the 16th percentile is 473.

Your hose fills a swimming pool in 3 hours. When your friend's hose is used together with your hose, the pool is full in 1 hour. How long (in hours) does it take your friend's hose to fill the pool when working alone

Answers

Answer:

1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

My hose = 3 hours ; my rate = 1/3

Let My friend's time = x ; his rate = 1/x

Combined time = 1 hour, combined rate = 1/1 = 1

Combined rate :

1/3 + 1/x = 1

1/x = 1 - 1/3

1/x = (3 - 1)/ 3

1/x = 2/3

Cross multiply :

3 = 2x

x = 3/2

x = 1.5 hours

A landscape designer has to construct a rectangular flower bed with a perimeter of 100 feet and the maximum possible area. What is the area of the flower bed

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   625 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest area of a polygon with a given perimeter is that of a regular polygon. A regular rectangle is one that has all sides the same length -- a square. The side length of a square with 100 ft perimeter is 25 ft. The area of a square with such a side length is

  A = (25 ft)² = 625 ft²

The maximum possible area is 625 ft².

__

In the attached, x is the length of one side. The area versus side length is plotted. The maximum is seen to be 625 ft² for a side length of 25 ft.

Equation 1: x+y=38

Equation 2: 2x+4y=90

Step-by-step explanation: (Work)

The question says two kinds of animals, so let x be "ducks" and y be "goats."

Number one equation: x+y=38

Number two equation: 2x+4y=90

Explanation:

The x+y=38 represents how many animals there will be if you add both the ducks and goats.

The 2x+4y=90 represents the legs of the animals, the 2x represents the 2 legs of the ducks and the 4y represents the 4 legs of the goats.

Please help !!!

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Pythagoras theorem is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the legs of the triangle.

Let x be the length of the hypotenuse, using Pythagoras:

x² = 25² + 25²

x² = 1250

x = 35 (to the nearest whole number)

b) Using sine rule:

[tex]\frac{x}{sin(90)} =\frac{25}{sin(45)} \\\\x=\frac{25}{sin(45)} *sin(90)\\\\x=35(to \ nearest\ whole\ number)[/tex]

In the triangle below, suppose that m angle L=(5x-3)m angle M=(4x-7)^ , and m angle N=x Find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle .

Please I need this done in 15 minutes !!!!!

Answers

Because all angles adds up to 180 we are going to add the equations and equal it to 180.

5x - 3 + 4x - 7 + x = 180
5x + 4x + x - 3 - 7 = 180
10x - 10 = 180
10x = 180 + 10
10x / 10 = 190/10
x = 19 degrees

5x - 3
5(19) - 3 = 92 degrees

4x - 7
4(19) - 7 = 69 degrees

angle L = 92 degrees
angle M = 69 degrees
angle N = 19 degrees

a. Sketch a graph to model Seattle's cost structure over the domain [0, 42,000]. Be sure to label the axes and any endpoints where the graph breaks.


b. Describe the function over each part of its domain. State whether it is constant, increasing or decreasing, and state the slope over each part. ​

Answers

Part (a)

The graph is shown below. It's a piecewise function composed of 3 parts: Two flat horizontal segments and a decreasing segment.

Note the use of open holes at points C and E. They tell the reader that the specific point is not part of the function. For example, point C at (8000,0.75) is an open hole since the second piece has x = 8000 excluded. In other words, the domain for the second piece is [tex]8,000 < x \le 20,000[/tex] which says to exclude 8000 but to include 20,000.

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

Part (b)

The flat parts are due to the two first pieces being constant functions. Regardless of what x is on those portions, the cost per unit stays the same. We see that the cost starts off at 35 cents per unit (green segment), then it jumps to 75 cents per unit (blue segment).

So far the costs have been constant, but once we get to the red curve portion, then the costs decrease as x increases. Note that 1/(200,000) = 0.000005 which means the costs are decreasing by 0.000005 dollars per unit. Let's multiply that by 10,000 to get 10,000*0.000005 = 0.05

So for the red portion, the costs are decreasing by $0.05 per 10,000 units, or they are decreasing by 5 cents per 10,000 units. When x > 20000, the lowest we can get the cost is at 62 cents per unit. This is when production is at max capacity (42,000 units).

If you wanted the cost per unit to be as small as possible, and x didn't have to be larger than 20 thousand, then you'd stick to the green line. However, the drawback here is that you can only produce at max 8000 units.

Given a box of 8 color crayons (Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Brown, Black, Purple). If I remove a single crayon randomly, and without putting it back in the box, I remove a second crayon randomly, what is the probability that I will remove the Red and the Green crayon from the box

Answers

Answer: 1/56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box has 8 different colors, the probability of picking any color of crayon will be 1/8.

This question relates to a probability without replacement, therefore, the probability of picking the red crayon first will be 1/8. After then, there'll be 7 crayons left and the probability of picking the green crayon next will be 1/7.

Therefore, the probability that I will remove the Red and the Green crayon from the box will be:

= 1/8 × 1/7

= 1/56

Give an example of a real-world permutation in which repetition is allowed one in which repetition isn’t allowed.

Answers

Answer:

Example 1: The PIN code is an example when order is important. The PIN code 1234 is different from the PIN code 4321. When selecting more than one item without replacement and order is important, it is called a Permutation. When order is not important, it is called a Combination.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we hear the word "combination" in our daily life, we immediately think about the collection of things in the form of a set or a group. For instance, if anyone says that my bowl has a combination of apples, carrots, and bananas, then we immediately think that the bowl has three items. We are not concerned with the order in which these three things were put in the bowl. In mathematics, the combination means the number of ways in which different objects are combined to form a set.

: If Newton Manufacturers has an accounts receivable turnover of 4.8 times and net sales of $7,812,379, what would its receivables be?

Answers

Answer:

$1,627,579

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The account receivable turnover is 4.8 times

And, the net sales is $7,812,379

We need to find out the receivable

So as we know that

accounts receivable turnover = net sales ÷ average accounts receivables

Therefore the accounts receivables is

= ($7,812,379 ÷ 4.8)

= $1,627,578.96

= $1,627,579

(This is an expression, not an equation so you can't find x with this expression. Equations have an = sign which can help isolate x on one side to find the value of x. This is the closest thing you could do for an answer for this expression.)

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+1)+(x+1)(x+2)+(x+2)(x+3)

= (x)(x) + (x)(1) + (x)(x) + (x)(2) + (1)(x) + (1)(2) + (x)(x) + (x)(3) + (2)(x) + (2)(3)

= x^2 + x + x^2 + 2x + x+ 2 + x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6

If you have the leg length multiply it by √2 to get the hypotenuse

hypotenuse = x,   Leg = x/√2

If you have the hypotenuse length divide it by √2 to get the leg

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

7)

leg  = 3√2 / 2

hyp =  3√2 / 2 *  √2 = 3

8)

leg = 5√2

hyp = 5√2 *√2 = 10

9)

hyp = 2

leg = 2 / √2 = √2

10)

leg = 13√2 / 2

hyp = 13√2 / 2 * √2  = 13
