Edward and Jacob are competing for the same job cutting firewood. While interviewing,
Edward reported that he can cut five cords of firewood in eight hours. (A cord is the
official measurement for firewood. It is actually a measurement for volume.) Jacob,
trying to sound more impressive, says he can cut 162 cords in 100 hours. Who would you
hire as the better firewood cutter? Why? Explain completely.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I would hire Jacob.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob is trying to sound more impressive knowing that Edward has more cords per hour. The writers of the question wouldn't say "trying to SOUND more impressive" if Jacob actually WAS more impressive. But maybe that's what they want you to think. If you take the 5 cords of Edward and divide it by the eight hours that it takes him to do you will notice he has an average of 0.625 cords per hour. And if you take a look at Jacob's average you immediately notice that he has an average of ABOVE 1. Jacob has an average of 1.62 cords per hour. Therefor Jacob is more efficient in this category of work. That's why I would hire Jacob.

A recent increase in sales of microchips has forced a computer company to buy a new processing machine to help keep up with demand. The builders of the new machine claim that it produces fewer defective microchips than the older machine. From a random sample of 90 microchips produced on the old machine, 5 were found to be defective. From a random sample of 83 microchips produced on the new machine, 3 were found to be defective. The quality control manager wants to construct a confidence interval to estimate the difference between the proportion of defective microchips from the older machine and the proportion of defective microchips from the new machine.

Answers

The final question is;

Why is it not appropriate to calculate a two-sample z-interval for a difference in proportions?

Answer:

The normality of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions cannot be established.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the two-sample z-interval for a difference in proportions, some conditions must be met which help us to know the normality of the distribution.

The conditions are;

- The method of sampling for each population must be simple random sampling.

- The samples must be independent.

- Each sample must include at least 10 successes and 10 failures.

- Each population must be a minimum 20 times its sample.

In this case, we are not given the population size and as such we cannot ascertain the last condition I wrote above since the sample proportion we are given alone isn't sufficient. Also, they both don't include at least 10 failures. Thus the normality of the sample proportions cannot be established.

Answer: the normality of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions cannot be established

A bucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. The paint flow can be expressed with the function r(t) = 3t, where t represents time in minutes and r represents how far the paint is spreading.

The flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. The area of the pattern can be expressed as A(r) = πr2.

Part A: Find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or A[r(t)]. Show your work.

Part B: How large is the area of spilled paint after 10 minutes? You may use 3.14 to approximate π in this problem.

At the Rubber Duckie booth at the County Fair, contestants randomly pick two rubber ducks, one from each of two separate pools. Each pool contains five ducks, numbered 1 through 5. To win a prize, the numbers on both ducks must match. The table shows the possible outcomes. What is the theoretical probability that a contestant wins the Rubber Duckie game?

Answers

1. There are 10 ducks in total, 5 in each pool.

2. For each pool, the probability of picking a certain numbered duck—for instance, #3—is 20%.

3. Because the pools are separate with, picking one duck from one pool does not affect the chance of picking a certain duck from the other pool.

4. Therefore, the probability that a contestant wins the game is 20%.

OD

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 4,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $49,500

Unitary variable cost= $12

Selling price= $23.25

We need to calculate the level of sales that will result in a net profit of zero. We need to use the break-even formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 49,500 / (23.25 - 12)

Break-even point in units= 4,400

Answers

Answer: The widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes is the same as 2 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : Volume of cuboidal box = length x width x height

[tex]width=\dfrac{Volume}{length\times height}[/tex]

Given: Kyle has a storage box that is 2 ft. Long, 3 ft. High, and has a volume of 12 ft³ .

Myla has a storage box that is 4 ft. High, 2 ft. Long, and has a volume of 16 ft³.

[tex]width=\dfrac{16}{4\times2}=2\ ft.[/tex]

Scott works on cars. He charges a $75 repair fee plus $10 per hour. If Dave was charged $100 by Scott to work on his car, then 1) write an equation that represents the hours, h, Scott worked on his car. How many hours did Scott work on Dave's car?

Answers

Answer:

equation: y= 10x + 75

Hours (x)= 2.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 10x + 75

100 = 10x + 75

-75            -75

25 = 10x

/10    /10

x = 2.5

Answer:

1). Inequality: 10h + 75 = 100.

2). Scott worked on his car for 2.5 hours.

Show Work:

Finding out The Inequality -

Sign: = (Equal Sign)

Variable: h (h for hours)

Coefficient: $10 per hour

Constant: $75 repair fee

Total: $100 was charged

Inequality: 10h +75 = 100

Figuring out the Inequality

10h +75 = 100

      -75    - 75

         0      25

10/10 = 1     25/10 = 2.5

h = 2.5

Explain:

With the Inequality I made with the Key concepts of the Word problem, I Started to answer the Question. First, I Subtracted 75 from 100 and 75, so I can see the Amount of Money Dave owes Scott without the Repair fee. 75 - 75 = 0, so I crossed it out, and 100 - 75 = 25. Then I bought the 10h down, so I could Divide it so I can get the Variable and the Answer together. So Because 10 was being Multiplied to the Variable h, I Had to do the opposite, so I divided 10÷10, and 25÷10. 10÷10 = 1, so I crossed it out, and 25÷10 = 2.5. So Scott worked on Dave's car for 2 and a half hours.
