Is 2 tons and 500 pounds equivalent to 2 1/4 tons?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ton = 2000 pounds and 500 is 1/4 of 2000

Answer 2

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 ton is 2000 pounds. We can use this fact to figure out if 500 pounds is equivalent to 1/4 tons. To do so, we can use a proportion.

[tex]\frac{2000 pounds}{1 ton} =\frac{500pounds}{x}[/tex]

[tex]2000x=500[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{500}{2000} =\frac{5}{20} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Now, we know that 500 pounds is equivalent to 1/4 tons. Therefore, 2 tons and 500 pounds is equivalent to [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] tons.

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.

Heights of Women. Heights of adult women are distributed normally with a mean of 162 centimeters and a standard deviation of 8 centimeters. Use the Table B.3 Areas under the Normal Curve (page 519 of the textbook) to find the indicated quantities: a) The percentage of heights less than 150 centimeters b) The percentage of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

Answers

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

The computer hardware company requires all of its chips purchased from its supplier of computer chips to meet specifications of 1.2 cm with the margins of error of plus and minus 0.1 cm. Based on the computer chip supplied last month, the mean length of a computer chip was 0.9 cm. What are the elements that the production manager should consider in determining his company's ability to produce chips that meet specifications

Answers

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.

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

A restaurant sees about 600 orders on Tuesday. This is down from last Tuesday by about 0.85%. How many did they see last Tuesday

Answers

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.

A home improvement contractor is painting the walls and ceiling of a rectangular room. The volume of the room is 875.00 cubic feet. The cost of wall paint is $0.08 per square foot and the cost of ceiling paint is $0.14 per square foot. Find the room dimensions that result in a minimum cost for the paint.

Answers

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.

an oil company conducts a geological study that indicates that an exploratory oil well should have a 20% chance of striking oil. assuming independence, what is that probability that the third strike comes on the seventh well drilled

Answers

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
