Lily is cutting a piece of yarn into 3 (three) pieces. The 2nd piece is 3 times as long as the 1st piece, while the 3rd piece is 6 centimeters longer than the 1st piece. When the yarn has a total length of 211 centimeters, calculate the length of the first piece.
Answer:
The length of the first piece = 41 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the first piece = a
Let the length of the second piece = b
Let the length of the third piece = c
we are given the following:
b = 3a . . . . . (1) (The 2nd piece is 3 times as long as the 1st piece)
c = 6 + a . . . . (2) (the 3rd piece is 6 centimeters longer than the 1st piece)
a + b + c = 211 . . . . . (3) ( the yarn has a total length of 211 centimeters)
Next, let us eliminate two variables, and this can easily be done by substituting the values of b and c in equations 1 and 2 into equation 3. this is done as follows:
a + b + c = 211
a + (3a) + (6 + a) = 211 ( remember that b = 3a; c = 6 + a)
a + 3a + 6 + a = 211
5a + 6 = 211
5a = 211 - 6 = 205
5a = 205
∴ a = 205 ÷ 5 = 41 cm
a = 41 cm
Therefore the length of the first piece (a) = 41 cm
now finding b and c
substituting a into equation 1 and 2
b = 3a
b = 3 × 41 = 123
∴ b = 123 cm
c = 6 + a
c = 6 + 41 = 47
∴ c = 47 cm

If we chose an alumnus at random, what is the probability that the alumnus would say their experience surpassed expectations?B. If we chose an alumnus at random, what is the probability that the alumnus would say their experience met or surpassed expectations?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Clarkson University surveyed alumni to learn more about what they think of Clarkson. One part of the survey asked respondents to indicate whether their overall experience at Clarkson fell short of expectations, met expectations, or surpassed expectations. The results showed that 4% of respondents did not provide a response, 26% said that their experience fell short of expectations, 65% of the respondents said that their experience met expectations (Clarkson Magazine, Summer, 2001). If we chose an alumnus at random, what is the probability that the alumnus would say their experience surpassed expectations? If we chose an alumnus at random, what is the probability that the alumnus would say their experience met or surpassed expectations?
Solution:
Probability = number of favorable outcomes/number of total outcomes
From the information given,
The probability that respondents did not provide a response, P(A) is 4/100 = 0.04
The probability that a respondent said that their experience fell short of expectations, P(B) is 26/100 = 0.26
The probability that a respondent said that their experience met expectations, P(C) is 65/100 = 0.65
A) Adding all the probabilities, it becomes 0.04 + 0.26 + 0.65 = 0.95
Therefore, the probability,P(D) that a respondent said that their experience surpassed expectations is 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
B) The event of a randomly chosen respondent saying that their experience met expectations and that their experience surpassed expectations are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur together. It means that P(C) × P(D) = 0
Therefore, the probability of P(C) or P(D) is 0.65 + 0.05 = 0.7

on monday, it took 3 builders 5 1/2 hours to build a wall. an identical wall needs to be built on tuesday and 5 builders are available. each builder is paid £8.90 for each hour they work. work out how much each builder will be paid for the work completed on tuesday
Answer:
£29.37
Step-by-step explanation:
→ First step is to find the amount of hours it takes for 5 builders
[tex]\frac{3*\frac{11}{2} }{5} =\frac{33}{2} /5=\frac{33}{2} *\frac{1}{5} =\frac{33}{10} =3\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
→ Now we know how long 5 builder takes we need to multiply the hourly rate by their time worked
[tex]3\frac{3}{10} *8.90=\frac{33}{10} *8.90=3.3*8.90 = 29.37[/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When the number of builders is increased, the hours worked will be reduced.
So, this is inverse proportion.
Number of hours worked by 5 builders = [tex]\frac{3*\frac{11}{2}}{5}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]=3*\frac{11}{2}*\frac{1}{5}\\\\=\frac{33}{10}\\\\=3\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
Amount received by each builder= 33/10 * 8.90

Recorded here are the germination times (in days) for ten randomly chosen seeds of a new type of bean. See Attached Excel for Data. Assume that the population germination time is normally distributed. Find the 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time.
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time is (12.3, 19.3).
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete:
Recorded here are the germination times (in days) for ten randomly chosen seeds of a new type of bean: 18, 12, 20, 17, 14, 15, 13, 11, 21, 17. Assume that the population germination time is normally distributed. Find the 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time.
We start calculating the sample mean M and standard deviation s:
[tex]M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{10}(18+12+20+17+14+15+13+11+21+17)\\\\\\M=\dfrac{158}{10}\\\\\\M=15.8\\\\\\[/tex]
[tex]s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{9}((18-15.8)^2+(12-15.8)^2+(20-15.8)^2+. . . +(17-15.8)^2)}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{101.6}{9}}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{11.3}=3.4\\\\\\[/tex]
We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean.
The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.
The sample mean is M=15.8.
The sample size is N=10.
When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{3.4}{\sqrt{10}}=\dfrac{3.4}{3.162}=1.075[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
df=n-1=10-1=9
The t-value for a 99% confidence interval and 9 degrees of freedom is t=3.25.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=3.25 \cdot 1.075=3.49[/tex]
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
[tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 15.8-3.49=12.3\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 15.8+3.49=19.3[/tex]
The 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time is (12.3, 19.3).
Boys to girls ratio is 2 to 3. There are 18 girls. What is total number of students
[tex]\frac{2}{3}=\frac{boys}{18}[/tex]
3*boys=2*18
3*boys=36
boys=12
12+18=30
total number of students: 30
Answer:
30 students
Step-by-step explanation:
2:3 = x:18
X = number of boys
[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{18}[/tex]
multiply 18 by both sides
18 × [tex]\frac{2}{3} = X[/tex]
X = 18 × [tex]\frac{2}{3} = 12[/tex]
18 + 12 = 30
One kind of plant has only blue flowers and white flowers. According to a genetic model, the offsprings of a certain cross have a 0.75 chance to be blue-flowering, and a 0.25 chance to be white-flowering, independently of one another. Two hundred seeds of such a cross are raised, and 142 turn out to be blue-flowering. We are interested in determining whether the data are consistent with the model or, alternatively, the chance to be blue-flowering is smaller than 0.75. For this question, find the appropriate test statistic.
Answer:
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the chance of this cross to be blue-flowering is significantly smaller than 0.75 (P-value = 0.11).
Test statistic z=-1.225.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.
The claim is that the chance to be blue-flowering is significantly smaller than 0.75.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \pi=0.75\\\\H_a:\pi<0.75[/tex]
The significance level is 0.05.
The sample has a size n=200.
The sample proportion is p=0.71.
[tex]p=X/n=142/200=0.71[/tex]
The standard error of the proportion is:
[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.75*0.25}{200}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000938}=0.031[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.71-0.75+0.5/200}{0.031}=\dfrac{-0.038}{0.031}=-1.225[/tex]
This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(z<-1.225)=0.11[/tex]
As the P-value (0.11) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the chance to be blue-flowering is significantly smaller than 0.75.

What is Right Angled Triangle?Right angled triangle are those triangle for which one of the angle is 90 degrees.
Hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is the longest side.
Opposite side with respect to an angle is the side opposite to that angle.
Adjacent side with respect to an angle is the side which is adjacent to the angle.
Given is a triangle ABC.
Here C is the right angle.
Then the side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse.
So AB is the hypotenuse.
Now we are describing the sides in relation to the ∠B.
Side opposite to ∠B is AC, which is the opposite side.
Side adjacent to ∠B is BC, which is the adjacent side.
This is the description of Thomas.

A piece of wire 30 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into a circle.
(a) How much wire should be used for the square in order to maximize the total area?m
(b) How much wire should be used for the square in order to minimize the total area? m
The length of wire used for the square in order to minimize the total area is 9.42m.
We are given that;
Length of wire= 30m
Now
Let the length of the wire used for the square x. The length of the wire used for the circle is 30-x.
The perimeter of the square is 4x and the perimeter of the circle is 2πr=2π(30-x)/(2π)=15-x/π.
The area of the square is [tex]x^2/16[/tex] and
the area of the circle is π(15-x/π)2/4π=225/π-(15x)/π2+[tex]x^2[/tex]/4π.
The total area is A=x2/16+225/π-(15x)/π2+[tex]x^2[/tex]/4π.
To maximize A, we take its derivative with respect to x and set it equal to zero: d[tex]A/dx=x/8-15/π^2+1/(4π)(x)=0[/tex]
Solving for x, we get x=120/(8+4π).
Therefore, 30-x=120/(8+4π)(3-π).
To minimize A, we take its derivative with respect to x and set it equal to zero:
[tex]dA/dx=x/8-15/π^2+1/(4π)(x)=0[/tex]
Solving for x, we get x=120/(8+4π)(3+π).
So, 30-x=120/(8+4π)(3-π).
Therefore, by area the answer will be approximately 9.42 m.

Safety by-laws state that for a ladder to be stable, the angle the base of the ladder makes with the ground should be between 70° and 80'. A safety inspector at a construction site notices a painter on a 10-m ladder that is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is 1.5 m away from the wall. Does the inspector have cause to be concerned? Explain.
Cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
Cos(angle) = 1.5/10
Angle = arccos(1.5/10)
Angle = 81.37 degrees
Although the angle is close, it is over the 80 degrees, so the inspector should be concerned.
If the price of a product is p (dollars), the number of units demanded is given by the equation q-pe-3p
(a) Find the price elasticity of demand by using the differentials definition of elasticity. Fully simplify your answer.
(b) Use your answer from part (a) to estimate the percent change in q when the price is raised from $2.00 to $2.10.
Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{E(p) = 1 - 3p}[/tex]
the estimate the percent change in q when the price is raised from $2.00 to $2.10 decreases by 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
the number of units demanded [tex]q = pe^{-3p}[/tex]
Taking differentiations ; we have,
[tex]\dfrac{dq}{dp}=e^{-3p}+p(-3e^{-3p})[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dq}{dp}=(1-3)e^{-3p}[/tex]
Now; the price elasticity of demand using the differentials definition of elasticity is:
[tex]E(p) = \dfrac{dq}{dp}*\dfrac{p}{q}[/tex]
[tex]E(p) =[(1-3)e^{-3p}]*[\dfrac{p}{pe^{-3p}}][/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{E(p) = 1 - 3p}[/tex]
(b) Use your answer from part (a) to estimate the percent change in q when the price is raised from $2.00 to $2.10.
The estimate of the percentage change in price is :
[tex]=\dfrac{2.10-2.00}{2.00}*100 \%[/tex]
= 5%
From (a)
[tex]\mathbf{E(p) = 1 - 3p}[/tex]
Now at p = $2.00
E(2) = 1 - 3 (2.00)
E(2) = 1 - 6
E(2) = -5
The percentage change in q = -5 × 5%
The percentage change in q = -25%
Thus; we can conclude that the estimate the percent change in q when the price is raised from $2.00 to $2.10 decreases by 25%

We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.98}{2} = 0.01[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.01 = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]z = 2.326/tex]
Now, find the width of the interval
[tex]W = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
In this question:
[tex]\sigma = 5, n = 25[/tex]
So
[tex]W = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]W = 2.326*\frac{5}{\sqrt{25}}[/tex]
The correct answer is:
C. ± 2.326 years.
There are five faculty members in a certain academic department. These individuals have 4, 6, 7, 10, and 15 years of teaching experience. Two of these individuals are randomly selected to serve on a personnel review committee. What is the probability that the chosen representatives have a total of at least 16 years of teaching experience
Answer:
3/5Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.
Probability = expected outcome of event/total outcome of event
Given 5 individuals with 4, 6, 7, 10, and 15 years of teaching experience.
Since two of these 5 individuals are randomly selected to serve on a personnel review committee, total possible outcome = 5C2 (randomly selecting 2 personnel out of 5 )
5C2 = [tex]\frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{5!}{3!2!}\\ = \frac{5*4*3!}{3!*2} \\= 10\ possible\ selections\ can\ be\ done[/tex]
To get the probability that the chosen representatives have a total of at least 16 years of teaching experience, first we need to find the two values that will give a sum of years greater that or equal to 16 years. The possible combination are as shown;
4+15 = 19years (first reps)
6+10 = 16years (second reps)
6+15 = 21years (third reps)
7+10 = 17 years (fourth reps)
7+15 = 22 years (fifth reps)
10+15 = 25 years (sixth reps)
This shows that there are 6 possible ways to choose the representatives that have a total of at least 16 years of teaching experience
Total outcome = 10
expected outcome = 6
Probability that the chosen representatives have a total of at least 16 years of teaching experience = [tex]\frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
