Answer 1
Answer:  D) 65.56

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

Explanation:

The interval [tex]40 \le x < 50[/tex] has the midpoint (40+50)/2 = 90/2 = 45 which represents the average value from this interval. We don't know what the exact 21 values are from this interval, but the best guess we can make is each value is on average 45.

Similarly, the interval [tex]50 \le x < 60[/tex] has the midpoint (50+60)/2 = 110/2 = 55 which represents the average value in this interval.

The set of all midpoints is: {45, 55, 65, 75, 85}. You start at 45 and add 10 to each term to get the next term. Let's say x represents the midpoint. We'll multiply each x value with its corresponding frequency (f) to get a new column of values you see in the table below.

For example, in the first row, we have 45*21 = 945

Add up everything in the x*f column and we'll get this sum:

945+2145+2600+2550+2380 = 10,620

We'll divide this over the total frequency, which is the sum of the frequency column (21+39+40+34+28 = 162)

We then arrive at this estimated final answer: (10,620)/(162) = 65.55555... where the '5's go on forever. This rounds to 65.56

An amusement park is open 7 days a week. The park has 8 ticket booths, and each booth has a ticket seller from 10am to 6pm. On average, ticket sellers work 30 hours per week. Write and equation that can be used to find "t", the minimum number of ticket sellers the park needs. show work if possible.

Answers

Answer:

t = (448 hrs/ week) / (30 hrs / week)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of times park opens in a week = 7

Number of ticket booth = 8

Opening hours = 10am - 6pm = 8 hours per day

Max working hours per ticket seller per week = 30 hours

Therefore each booth works for 8 hours per day,

Then ( 8 * 7) = 56 hours per week.

All 8 booths work for (56 * 8) = 448 hours per week

If Max working hours per ticket seller per week = 30 hours,

Then muninim number of workers required (t) :

Total working hours of all booth / maximum number of working hours per worker per week

t = (448 hrs/ week) / (30 hrs / week)

Find the missing side lengths.

Answers

Answer:

x is 18, and y is 9 √ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle that contains a 30 degree angle, we know this is a special right triangle, and the missing angle is 60 degrees since a triangle is 180 degrees, and 180 - 90 - 30 = 60.

The relationship is listed below:

The side opposite of the 30 degrees can be represented as a variable, say "p", and the hypotenuse which is x in your question is twice this. The side opposite of the 60 degree angle is x + √3

So x is 18, and y is 9√3

Lila is camping with her family. She wants to hike to the lake, go fishing, and hike back before 6:05 P.M. It will take 1 hour and 10 minutes to hike to the lake and 1 hour and 50 minutes to hike back. Lila wants to fish for 3 hours and 10 minutes. What is the latest time Lila can start the hike to the lake?

Answers

Lila will need to start the hike at 11: 55 a.m. to be back at exactly 6: 05 p.m. or at 11: 54 a.m. to be before 6: 05 p.m (6: 04 p.m.)

Explanation:

To solve this question, the first step is to calculate how much time does hiking to the lake, go fishing, and go back takes in total. This can be calculated by adding the time of the three activities. This means 1 hour 10 minutes + 3 hours 10 minutes + 1 hour 50 minutes which is equal to 6 hours 10 minutes. The detailed process is shown below.

Add the hours: 1 + 3 + 1 = 5

Add the minutes: 10+50 +10 = 70

Also, because the total of minutes is above 60 (each hour has 60 minutes) it is necessary to subtract 60 minutes and add 1 hour.

5 hours + 1 hour and 70 minutes - 60 minutes = 6 hours and 10 minutes

Now, to solve the question subtract the time of the activities to the time Lila needs to complete all the activities.

6: 05 p.m.  -  6 hours and 10 minutes = 11: 55 a.m

You can get this result by substracting first the hours and then the minutes

6: 05 p.m. - 6 hours = 12: 05 p.m.

12: 05 - 10 minutes = 11: 55 a.m.

According to this, Lila will need to start the hike at 11: 55 a.m. to be back at exactly 6: 05 p.m. or at 11: 54 a.m. to be before 6: 05 a.m because if she starts at 11: 54 a.m. she will be back at 6:04, which is a minute before 6:05 p.m.

A rectangular parcel of land has an area of 6,000 ft2. A diagonal between opposite corners is measured to be 10 ft longer than one side of the parcel. What are the dimensions of the land, correct to the nearest foot? ft (smaller value) by ft (larger value)

Answers

Answer:

50ft by 120ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L × W

6000ft² = L × W

L = 6000/W

When a diagonal line divides a rectangle into 2 right angled triangles, the diagonal line = Hypotenuse of either of the triangle and it is the longest side.

The formula for a right angle triangle =

a² + b² = c²( c = hypotenuse)

We are told in the question that:

A diagonal between opposite corners is measured to be 10 ft longer than one side of the parcel

Let us assume the side that the hypotenuse is longer than = Width

Hence, the Diagonal = (W + 10)²

Therefore

L² + W² = (W + 10)²

Since L = 6000/W

W² + (6000/W)² = (W + 10)²

W² + (6000/W)² = (W + 10) (W + 10)

W² + (6000/W)² = W² + 10W + 10W + 100

W² + (6000/W)² = W² + 20W + 100

W² - W² + (6000/W)² = 20W+ 100

6000²/W² = 20W + 100

6000² = W²( 20W + 100)

6000² = 20W³ + 100W²

20W³ + 100W² - 6000² = 0

20W³ + 100W² - 36000000 = 0

20(W³ + 5W² - 1800000) = 0

Factorising the quadratic equation,

20(W − 120)(W² + 125W + 15000) = 0

W - 120 = 0

W = 120

Therefore,

W(Width) = 120feet

Since the Width = 120 feet

We can find the length

6000ft² = L × W

L = 6000/W

L = 6000/120

L = 50 feet

The dimensions of the land, correct to the nearest foot is 50ft by 120ft

Varia is studying abroad in Europe. She is required pay $3,500 (in US dollars) per year to the university; however, she must pay in euros. How many euros can Varia expect to pay per month to the university?

Answers

Answer: 247.92 euros

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Varia is required pay $3,500 (in US dollars) per year to the university.

If she must pay in euros , then we convert $3,500 into euros.

Current rate : 1 US dollar = 0.85 euro

Then,  $3,500 = ( 0.85 x 3500) euros

= 2975 euros

She can expect 2975 euros to pay per year.

Also, [tex]2975\div 12\approx247.92[/tex]   [ 1 years = 12 months]

Hence, She can expect 247.92 euros to pay per month to the university.

[tex]\huge\boxed{A\ intersection \ B = \{6,9\}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A = {3,6,9,12}

B = {6,8,9}

A∪B = {3,6,9,12} ∪ { 6,8,9}   [Union means all of the elements should be included in the set of A∪B]

=> A∪B = {3,6,8,9,12}

Find the z-score corresponding to the median of school allergies. You may use your calculator to find the mean and standard deviation.

Answers

Answer:

z -score = 0.0459

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the number of children with food allergies at a sample of elementary schools: 3, 9, 5, 5, 14, 10, 5, 11, 9, 6, 1, 8, 10, 7, 9, 13, 18, 9, 8, 11, 9, 7, 6, 14, 12.

The objective is to find the z- score , but before we can do that , we need to determine the mean and the standard deviation of the sample.

Mean = sum of the sample/ total number of the sample

Mean = (3+9+ 5+ 5+ 14+ 10+ 5+ 11+ 9+ 6+ 1+ 8+ 10+ 7+ 9+13+ 18+ 9+ 8+11+ 9+ 7+ 6+ 14+ 12)/25

Mean = 219/25

Mean = 8.76

Standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac {\sum (x_i - \mu)^2}{N}}[/tex]

Mean (in order )= 1, 3,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,9,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,13,14,14,18)

Standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac { (8.76 - 1)^2}{25} + \dfrac { (8.76 - 3)^2}{25} +\dfrac { (8.76 - 5)^2}{25} +...+ \dfrac { (8.76 - 18)^2}{25} }[/tex]

Standard deviation = 5.2174

The standard z score formula is:

[tex]z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

where X = median (13th observation ) = 9

[tex]z = \dfrac{9- 8.76}{5.2174}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{0.24}{5.2174}[/tex]

z -score = 0.0459

Nights and Dragons From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne 1 I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts. 2 As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could notand did notexist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed. 3 I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. 4 With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way. 5 I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive. Which sentence from paragraph 4 makes an explicit statement without offering any implicit suggestions? With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals.
