Area of one side of a U.S. dime is approximately 254 square millimeters.
What is Circle?A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre.
Given that U.S. dime has a diameter of about 18 millimeters.
We need to find the area of one side of a dime to the nearest square millimeter.
Diameter=18 millimeters
Diameter is two times of radius
D=2R
18=2R
Divide both sides by 2
Radius is 9 millimeters.
Area of dime=πr²
=3.14×(9)²
=3.14×81
=254 square millimeters.
Hence, area of one side of a U.S. dime is approximately 254 square millimeters.

The arithmetic mean (average) of four numbers is 85. If the largest of these numbers is 97, find the mean of the remaining three numbers. I cannot solve this. Please help on it.
Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's do this systematically:
Four numbers: a, b, c, d
Whose mean is 85: [tex]\frac{a + b + c + d}{4} = 85[/tex]
Whose largest number is 97: [tex]\frac{a + b + c + 97}{4} = 85[/tex]
Lets solve for the other numbers:
a+b+c+97 = 85*4 = 340
340 - 97 = 243
a+b+c = 243
at this point it doesn't matter what the numbers are, they just need to add up to 243.
We can do 243÷3=81, which is our answer

The surface area of a cone is the same thing as the perimeter of the cone ie, the materials required to construct the cone.
Formula for the surface area of the cone = πrl + πr², ( the circular base )
From.the diagram,
r = 7.1m , l = 14.6m, π = 3.142
Now substitute for those values in.the formula above
SA = πrl + πr²
= 3.142 × 7.1 × 14.6 + 3.142 × 7.1²
= 325.6997 + 158.388
= 484.09
Now to the nearest tenth meter,

Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean 60 and standard deviation 16. Compute the probability P(X < 80). Group of answer choices
Answer:
P(X < 80) = 0.89435.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 60, \sigma = 16[/tex]
P(X < 80)
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 80. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{80 - 60}{16}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.89435.
So
P(X < 80) = 0.89435.

In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to one of two blank lines, then it is also perpendicular to the other
Answer:
ParallelStep-by-step explanation:
The complete statement would be "if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is also perpendicular to the other".
The reason for this is because parallel lines have the same slope, that's the condition. On the other hand, parallel lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.
So, if you think this through, if a line is perpendicular to another, then it's going to be perpendicular to all different lines which are parallel to the first one, because all their slopes are equivalent, and they will fulfill the perpendicularity condition.

Parallel line

The straight line L has equation y = 1/2x+7 The straight line M is parallel to L and passes through the point (0, 3). Write down an equation for the line M.
Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 7 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Parallel lines have equal slopes
line M crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 3 ← equation of line M
The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 41 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 38 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 42. The standard deviation of the sample is 3.9 calls. Using the 0.025 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 41?H0 : µ = 40
H1 : µ > 401. Compute the value of the test statistic. 2. What is your decision regarding H0?
Answer:
1. Test statistic t=1.581.
2. The null hypothesis H0 failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is significantly more than 41.
NOTE: if the null hypothesis is µ = 40, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is significantly more than 40 (test statistic t=3.161).
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.
The claim is that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is significantly more than 41.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=41\\\\H_a:\mu> 41[/tex]
The significance level is 0.025.
The sample has a size n=38.
The sample mean is M=42.
As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=3.9.
The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{3.9}{\sqrt{38}}=0.633[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{42-41}{0.633}=\dfrac{1}{0.633}=1.581[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=38-1=37[/tex]
This test is a right-tailed test, with 37 degrees of freedom and t=1.581, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t>1.581)=0.061[/tex]
As the P-value (0.061) is bigger than the significance level (0.025), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is significantly more than 41.
For µ = 40:
This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=38-1=37[/tex]
This test is a right-tailed test, with 37 degrees of freedom and t=3.161, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t>3.161)=0.002[/tex]
As the P-value (0.002) is smaller than the significance level (0.025), the effect is significant.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is significantly more than 40.
Find all values of k for which the function y=sin(kt) satisfies the differential equation y′′+16y=0. Separate your answers by commas. isn't the answer just ±4?
Answer: k = 4, k = -4 and k = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have y = sin(kt)
then:
y' = k*cos(kt)
y'' = -k^2*son(x).
then, if we have the relation:
y'' - y = 0
we can replace it by the things we derivated previously and get:
-k^2*sin(kt) + 16*sin(kt) = 0
we can divide by sin in both sides (for t ≠0 and k ≠0 because we can not divide by zero)
-k^2 + 16 = 0
the solutions are k = 4 and k = -4.
Now, we have another solution, but it is a trivial one that actually does not give any information, but for the diff equation:
-k^2*sin(kt) + 16*sin(kt) = 0
if we take k = 0, we have:
-0 + 0 = 0.
So the solutions are k = 4, k = -4 and k = 0.

The function RX) = 2x + 3x + 5, when evaluated, gives a value of 19. What is the function's input value?
A. 1
B. -1
C. 2
D. -2
E. -3
Answer:
Correct option: C.
Step-by-step explanation:
(Assuming the correct function is R(x) = 2x^2 + 3x + 5)
To find the input value that gives the value of R(x) = 19, we just need to use this output value (R(x) = 19) in the equation and then find the value of x:
[tex]R(x) = 2x^2 + 3x + 5[/tex]
[tex]19 = 2x^2 + 3x + 5[/tex]
[tex]2x^2 + 3x -14 = 0[/tex]
Solving this quadratic function using the Bhaskara's formula (a = 2, b = 3 and c = -14), we have:
[tex]\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 9 + 112 = 121[/tex]
[tex]x_1 = (-b + \sqrt{\Delta})/2a = (-3 + 11)/4 = 2[/tex]
[tex]x_2 = (-b - \sqrt{\Delta})/2a = (-3 - 11)/4 = -3.5[/tex]
So looking at the options, the input to the function is x = 2
Correct option: C.
if a^2+b^2+c^2=169. find a, given that b=2√2, 3√c=9.
Answer:
a = ±4√5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for c.
3√c = 9
√c = 9/3
√c = 3
c = 3²
c = 9
Put b=2√2 and c=9, solve for a.
a² + (2√2)² + 9² = 169
a² + 8 + 81 = 169
a² = 169 - 81 - 8
a² = 80
a = ±√80
a = ±4√5

3) Let be [tex]f(x) = x + 4[/tex] and [tex]g(x) = 2\cdot x + 1[/tex], if [tex]h(x) = 3\cdot x + 5[/tex], then:
[tex]h(x) = 3\cdot x + 5[/tex]
[tex]h (x) = (1 + 2)\cdot x + (4+1)[/tex]
[tex]h(x) = x + 2\cdot x + 4 +1[/tex]
[tex]h(x) = (x+4) + (2\cdot x + 1)[/tex]
[tex]h(x) = f(x) + g(x)[/tex]
4) Let be [tex]f(x) = x + 4[/tex] and [tex]g(x) = 2\cdot x + 1[/tex], if [tex]h(x) = 2\cdot x + 5[/tex], then:

Chocolate chip cookies have a distribution that is approximately normal with a mean of 24.7 chocolate chips per cookie and a standard deviation of 2.1 chocolate chips per cookie. Find Upper P 10 and Upper P 90. How might those values be helpful to the producer of the chocolate chip cookies?
Answer:
P10 = 27.4
P90 = 22.0
It helps the producer to know the higher (P10) and lower estimates (P90) for the amount of chocolate chips per cookie.
Step-by-step explanation:
In P10 and P90 the P stands for "percentile".
In the case of P10, indicates the value X of the random variable for which 10% of the observed values will be above this value X.
In the case of P90, this percentage is 90%.
In this case, we can calculate from the z-values for each of the percentiles in the standard normal distribution.
For P10 we have:
[tex]P(z>z_{P10})=0.1\\\\z_{P10}=1.2816[/tex]
For P90 we have:
[tex]P(z>z_{P90})=0.9\\\\z_{P90}=-1.2816[/tex]
Then, we can convert this values to our normal distribution as:
[tex]P10=\mu+z\cdot\sigma=24.7+1.2816\cdot 2.1=24.7+2.7=27.4 \\\\P90=\mu+z\cdot\sigma=24.7-1.2816\cdot 2.1=24.7-2.7=22.0[/tex]

a. In the butter market, the monthly equilibrium quantity is million pounds and the equilibrium price is $ per pound.
b. What is the monthly surplus created in the wholesale butter market due to the price support (price floor) program? 22 million pounds 79 million pounds Zero 11 million pounds Suppose that a decrease in the cost of feeding cows shifts the supply schedule to the right by 40 million pounds at every price.
Answer:
a. In the butter market, the monthly equilibrium quantity is 95 million pounds and the equilibrium price is $1.2 per pound.
b. The correct option is zero.
c. See the attached excel file for the new supply schedule.
d. The monthly surplus created by the price support program is 18 million pounds given the new supply of butter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. A complete question is therefore provided in the attached Microsoft word file.
a. In the butter market, the monthly equilibrium quantity is million pounds and the equilibrium price is $ per pound.
At equilibrium, quantity demanded must be equal with the quantity supplied.
In this question, equilibrium occurs at the price of $1.20 per pound and quantity of 95 million pounds.
Therefore, in the butter market, the monthly equilibrium quantity is 95 million pounds and the equilibrium price is $1.2 per pound.
b. What is the monthly surplus created in the wholesale butter market due to the price support (price floor) program?
Price floor refers to a government price control on the lowest price that can be charged for a commodity.
It should be noted that for a price floor to be binding, it has to be fixed above the equilibrium price.
Since the price floor of $1 per pound is lower than the equilibrium price of $1.2 per pound, the price floor will therefore not be binding. As a result, the market will still be at the equilibrium point and the monthly surplus created in the wholesale butter market due to the price support (price floor) program will be zero.
Therefore, the correct option is zero.
c. Fill in the new supply schedule given the change in the cost of feeding cows.
Since a decrease in the cost of feeding cows shifts the supply schedule to the right by 40 million pounds at every price, this implies that there will be an increase in supply by 40 million at each price.
Note: Find attached the excel file for the new supply schedule.
d. Given the new supply of butter, what is the monthly surplus of butter created by the price support program?
Since the price floor has been fixed at $1 per pound by the price support program, we can observe that the quantity demanded is 101 million pounds and quantity supplied is 119 million pounds at this price floor of $1. The surplus created is then the difference between the quantity demanded and quantity supplied as follows:
Surplus created = Quantity supplied - Quantity demanded = 119 - 101 = 18 million pounds
Therefore, the monthly surplus created by the price support program is 18 million pounds given the new supply of butter.

Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-(x + 5) - 3(x + 2) \\ -x - 5 - 3x - 6 \\ -x - 3x -5 - 6 \\ - 4x - 11 \\ = -(4x + 11)[/tex]
the intersection of the two legs of the right triangle and the red segment is the _________ of the triangle shown
Answer:
b median
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
orthocenter
Step-by-step explanation:
The red segment is an altitude of the triangle, as are the two legs. The intersection point of the altitudes is the orthocenter.

This is basically a vocabulary question.
altitude - the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side (or its extension)median - the segment joining a vertex with the midpoint of the opposite sidecentroid - the point where medians meetorthocenter - the point where altitudes meetA sample of 26 offshore oil workers took part in a simulated escape exercise, and their escape time (unit: second) were observed. The sample mean and sample standard deviation are 370.69 and 24.36, respectively. Suppose the investigators had believed a priori that true average escape time would be at most 6 minutes. Does the data contradict this prior belief? Assuming normality, test the appropriate hypotheses using the rejection region method at a significance level of 0.05.
Answer:
Yes, it contradict this prior belief as there is enough evidence to support the claim that the true average escape time is significantly higher than 6 minutes.
Test statistic t=2.238>tc=1.708.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.
The claim is that the true average escape time is significantly higher than 6 minutes (360 seconds).
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=360\\\\H_a:\mu> 360[/tex]
The significance level is 0.05.
The sample has a size n=26.
The sample mean is M=370.69.
As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=24.36.
The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{24.36}{\sqrt{26}}=4.777[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{370.69-360}{4.777}=\dfrac{10.69}{4.777}=2.238[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=26-1=25[/tex]
The critical value for a right-tailed test with a significance level of 0.05 and 25 degrees of freedom is tc=1.708. If the test statistic is bigger than 1.708, it falls in the rejection region and the null hypothesis is rejected.
As the test statistic t=2.238 is bigger than the critical value t=1.708, the effect is significant. The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true average escape time is significantly higher than 6 minutes (360 seconds).
