Answer:

  (a) b = (4/7)c

  (b) Bill: 40 shingles/hour; Chip: 70 shingles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and c represent Bill's and Chip's rates in shingles per hour, respectively. Then we have ...

  7b = 4c

  c - b = 30 . . . . shingles per hour difference in rates

(a) Bill's rate in terms of Chip's rate can be found by dividing the first equation by 7

  b = (4/7)c . . . . . Bill's rate is 4/7 of Chip's rate

__

(b) To find the rates, we can multiply the second equation by 7 and substitute using the first equation:

  7c -7b = 210

  7c -4c = 210

  c = 210/3 = 70

  b = (4/7)(70) = 40

Bill's rate is 40 shingles per hour; Chip's rate is 70 shingles per hour.

Answer:

Choice D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of points is obtained by the number of points of each multiple choice question times the number of multiple choice questions added to the number of points of each short answer question times the number of short answer questions.

Since the total number of points is 50, then the number of points from the multiple choice questions plus the number of points from the short answer questions add up to 50 points.

Answer: Choice D.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of points is 50, and short answer questions are 3 pts. Multiple choices are 1 pts.

So we have 3s+m=50

       105                                        1800

Answer: The point estimate is 1132.5 Kilowatts

Step-by-step explanation: Regression analysis is used to find an equation that fits the data. Once this equation is found, it's used to make predictions. One of the regressions is linear regression.

To find the linear regression model:

1) Create a table with the following: ∑y; ∑x; ∑xy; ∑x²; ∑y²;

2) Use these equations to find coefficients a and b:

a = (∑y)(∑x²) - (∑x)(∑yx) / n(∑x²) - (∑x)²

b = n(∑xy) - (∑x)(∑y) / n(∑x²) - (∑x)²

3) Substitute the coefficients into the equation of form: y = a + bx

For the table above, the linear regression equation is:

y = - 2004 + 34.85x

When Temperature is 90, i.e. x = 90:

y = - 2004 + 34.85*90

y = 1132.5

The estimate Kilowatt is 1132.5.

Answer:

b) 0.0608

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is mentioned that the next two days i.e 24 hours, the probability of the rain is uniformly distributed

Therefore the rain probability is

[tex]= \frac{T}{24}[/tex]

where,

T = Length of the time interval

Plus, as we know that rain is independent

So let us assume the rain between the 8: 40 AM and 2: 35 PM on single day is P1 and the time interval is 5 hours 55 minutes

i.e

= 5.91666 hours long.

So, P1 should be

[tex]= \frac{5.91666}{24}[/tex]

= 0.2465

Now we assume the probability of rain on day 2 is P2

So it would be same  i.e 0.2465

Since these events are independent

So, the total probability is

[tex]= 0.2465 \times 0.2465[/tex]

= 0.0608

Hence, the b option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

sin²α − sin⁴α

Factor out sin²α.

sin²α (1 − sin²α)

Use Pythagorean theorem.

(1 − cos²α) cos²α

Distribute.

cos²α − cos⁴α

Answer:

Number of orders seen on last Tuesday = 605

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of orders seen on Tuesday = 600

It is given that it is 0.85% less than last Tuesday.

Let number of sales on last Tuesday = [tex]x[/tex]

As per question statement:

Number of order on last Tuesday - 0.85% of Number of order on last Tuesday = 600

OR

i.e. if we subtract 0.85% of x from x, it must be equal to 600.

[tex]x-\dfrac{0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{100-0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{99.15}{100} \times x =600\\\Rightarrow x =\dfrac{600\times 100}{99.15}\\\Rightarrow x =\dfrac{60000}{99.15}\\\Rightarrow x \approx 605[/tex]

So, there were about 605 order seen last Tuesday.

Answer:

4.92% probability that the third strike comes on the seventh well drilled

Step-by-step explanation:

For each drill, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a strike, or it is not. Each drill is independent of other drills. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% chance of striking oil.

This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]

What is that probability that the third strike comes on the seventh well drilled

2 stikers during the first 6 drills(P(X = 2) when n = 6)[/tex]

Strike during the 7th drill, with 0.2 probability. So

[tex]P = 0.2P(X = 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.2458[/tex]

Then

[tex]P = 0.2P(X = 2) = 0.2*0.2458 = 0.0492[/tex]

4.92% probability that the third strike comes on the seventh well drilled

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The computer hardware company requires all of the chips purchased from its supplier of computer chips to meet the specification of 1.2 centimeters, with error margins of -0.1cm and +0.1cm

This means that the required length of computer chips is between 1.1cm - 1.3cm

Where 1.1cm = [1.2 - 0.1]

1.3cm = [1.2 + 0.1]

Based on the computer chips supplied last month, mean length was 0.9cm. This means that most of the chips were (in length) less than the lower boundary of 1.1cm.

The element that the production manager should consider in determining his company's ability to produce chips that meet specification is:

- The length of the chips.

The length of the chips his production team produces should be tailored to meet the length specification of his client.

Answer:

For x

We use cosine

cos 45° = 2/x

After solving

x = 2√2

Since we have the value of x we use it to get the value of y

we use cosine

cos 60° = 2√2/y

y =2√2/cos 60

y = 4√2

We use Pythagoras theorem to find z

(4√2)² = (2√2)² + z²

z² = 32 - 8

z² = 24

z = √24

z = 2√6

Therefore x = 2√2

y = 4√2

z = 2√6

Answer:

The room dimensions for a minimum cost are: sides of 10 feet and height of 8.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular room with sides x and height y.

The volume of the room is 875 cubic feet, and can be expressed as:

[tex]V=x^2y=875[/tex]

With this equation we can define y in function of x as:

[tex]x^2y=875\\\\y=\dfrac{875}{x^2}[/tex]

The cost of wall paint is $0.08 per square foot. We have 4 walls which have an area Aw:

[tex]A_w=xy=x\cdot \dfrac{875}{x^2}=\dfrac{875}{x}[/tex]

The cost of ceiling paint is $0.14 per square foot. We have only one ceiling with an area:

[tex]A_c=x^2[/tex]

We can express the total cost of painting as:

[tex]C=0.08\cdot (4\cdot A_w)+0.14\cdot A_c\\\\C=0.08\cdot (4\cdot \dfrac{875}{x})+0.14\cdot x^2\\\\\\C=\dfrac{280}{x}+0.14x^2[/tex]

To calculate the minimum cost, we derive this function C and equal to zero:

[tex]\dfrac{dC}{dx}=280(-1)\dfrac{1}{x^2}+0.14(2x)=0\\\\\\-\dfrac{280}{x^2}+0.28x=0\\\\\\0.28x=\dfrac{280}{x^2}\\\\\\x^3=\dfrac{280}{0.28}=1000\\\\\\x=\sqrt[3]{1000} =10[/tex]

The sides of the room have to be x=10 feet.

The height can be calculated as:

[tex]y=875/x^2=875/(10^2)=875/100=8.75[/tex]

The room will have sides of 10 feet and a height of 8.75 feet.

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the area multiply the length by height

in this case it’s 5ft and 3ft

5 • 3 = 15

A=15

Answer:

a) 6.68% of heights less than 150 centimeters

b) 58.65% of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

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 = 162, \sigma = 8[/tex]

a) The percentage of heights less than 150 centimeters

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 150. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{150 - 162}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0668

6.68% of heights less than 150 centimeters

b) The percentage of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 180 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 160.

X = 180

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{180 - 162}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.25[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9878

X = 160

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{160 - 162}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.25[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4013

0.9878 - 0.4013 = 0.5865

58.65% of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

Answer:

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the first equation by doing rise/run
