Steve works at an apple orchard and is paid by the bushel for the apples he harvests each day. If Steve harvests 42 bushels or less per day, he is paid y dollars per bushel. If Steve harvests more than 42 bushels per day, he receives y dollars per bushel for the first 42 bushels and is paid 1.5 times that amount for each additional bushel. How many bushels of apples did Steve harvest yesterday

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The information given in the question to solve it is insufficient.

The complete question related to this found at GMAT club forum is stated below:

Steve works at an apple orchard and is paid by the bushel for the apples he harvests each day. For the first 42 bushels Steve harvests each day, he is paid y dollars per bushel. For each additional bushel over 42, he is paid 1.5y. How many bushels of apples did Steve harvest yesterday?

1. Yesterday, Steve was paid $180 for the apples he harvested.

2. Today, Steve was paid $240, and he harvested 10 more bushels of apples than he harvested yesterday.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st 42 bushels Steve harvests each day:

Payment of 1 bushel = y dollar

Payment of ≤ 42 bushel = 42× y = $42y

Payment for Additional bushel after the 1st 42 bushels = 1.5y per bushel

Yesterday's Payment = $180

Today's payment = $240

Let the total number Steve harvested yesterday = p

Today he harvested 10 more bushels than he did yesterday

Total number Steve harvested today = p + 10

Now looking at the information in the question:

First statement did not tell us the amount he harvested that got him that pay, so it's insufficient. Second statement alone two is not sufficient to determine yesterdays pay.

In both statement, we were not told if he harvested more or less than 42 yesterday. Neither were we told if the additional 10 bushels was after he had harvested more than 42 bushels.

Let's assume the additional 10 bushels was after he had harvested more than 42 bushels (that is he harvested 42 yesterday) .

Difference in payment = 240-180 = 60

For the additional 10bushels, he was paid $60

10(1.5y) = 60

15y = 60

y = 60/15 = 4

If y = $4 per bushel and he was paid $180, the number he harvested will be:

4 × number of bushels = $180

4p = 180

p = 180/4 = 45 bushels

p = 45bushels isn't possible because the amount for the first bushels should either be less than or equal to 42

If we make another assumption, let's say he harvested more than 42 yesterday (42 + an additional number), we would get a different answer.

Thus the information given in the question to solve it is insufficient.

ILL MARK BRAINLIEST In independent random samples of 10 men and 10 women in a coed basketball league, the numbers of points scored per season are given by the back-to-back stemplot below:

Part A: Describe the shape of each data set.

Part B: Michaela analyzed the data and stated that the better measure of center for the women is the mean. Is Michaela correct? Explain your reasoning.

Part C: Michaela decided there are no outliers in the women's data set. Is she correct? Justify your answer mathematically.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a)

To compare both datasets I've made a box plot for them.

The yellow one belongs to the points scored by the men and the green one is for the points scored by the women.

Women: The box seems symmetrical, the median and the mean (black square) are almost the same. The whiskers are almost the same length, you could say that in general the points scored by the women have a symmetrical distribution.

Men: The box looks a little skewed to the right, the median is closer to the 1st quantile and the mean is greater than the median. The whiskers are the same length, in general the distribution seems almost symmetrical.

b)

As you can see in the box plot  the median and mean of the points scored by the women are almost the same. Using the data I've calculated both values:

Me= 24.50

X[bar]= 23.80

The median divides the sample in halves (50-50),  it shows you where the middle of the distribution is.

The average shows you the value that centers the distribution, meaning, it is the value around which you'll find most of the data set. It summarizes best the sample information and therefore is a better measure of center.

c.

As you can see in the box plots, there are no outliers in both distributions.

An outlier is an observation that is significantly distant from the rest of the data set. They usually represent experimental errors (such as a measurement) or atypical observations. Some statistical measurements, such as the sample mean, are severely affected by this type of values and their presence tends to cause misleading results on a statistical analysis.

Considering the 1st quartile (Q₁), the 3rd quartile (Q₃) and the interquartile range IQR, any value X is considered an outlier if:

X < Q₁ - 1.5 IQR

X > Q₃ + 1.5 IQR

Or extreme outliers if:

X < Q₁ - 3 IQR

X > Q₃ + 3 IQR

For the women data set:

Q₁= 17; Q₃= 30; IQR= 30 - 17= 13

Lower outliers: X < Q₁ - 1.5 IQR= 17-1.5*13= -2.5 ⇒ The minimum value recorded is 03, so there are no outliers.

Upper outliers: X > Q₃ + 3 IQR= 30 + 1.5*13= 49.5 ⇒ The maximum value registered is 41, so there are no outliers.

I hope this helps!

The population of a large city can be calculated using the function . What can you say about the rate of change from year 1 to year 2 compared to the rate of change from year 9 to year 10

Answers

Answer:

The rate of change will be the same for all years.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is mentioned in the question, that the rate of change is 7%.

And as we know that

= I (1 + R)^T

where

I = Initial amount

R = Rate of growth,

And T = Time.

So in the given case, the rate is 0.07, or 7% while on the other hand the growth RATE remains constant and the growing amount would be increased each year.

Therefore the rate of change would be the same for all the year

24 athletes threw the shot put at a track and field meet. If this was 15/100 of all the athletes in the meet, how many athletes competed in the meet total?

Answers

Answer:

160 athletes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of athletes in the meet be x

Given that 24 athletes who  threw the shot put at a track and field meet are 15/100 of all the  athletes in the meet .

If we write this in mathematical algebraic expression

15/100 of all the  athletes in the meet = 24

15/100 * x = 24

=> x = 24*100/15 = 24*100/3*5 = 160

Thus, 160 athletes competed in the meet.

I can confirm the answer is:

D. 40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test on edge and got it right!

The perimeter of the Δ QSU is given as 40 units. (Option D). See explanation below.

What is the perimeter of Δ QSU?

We can derive the perimeter by stating:

2x = x + 3 ⇒ x = 3

This is because Δ RSC ≅ Δ TSC

RS = 2 x 3 = 6 = ST

This is because ΔQRC ≅ ΔQVC

TV = VU = 4; we know this because
ΔCVU ≅ Δ CTU

Thus

QR = QV = 10

CΔQSU = 10 + 6 + 10 +14

= 40 Units.

Rectangle A has a width of 3 inches and a length of 5 inches. Part A Rectangle A has the same perimeter as Rectangle B. If its width is 4 inches, what is its length? Enter your answer in the box. Rectangle B has a width of 4 inches and a length of inches

Answers

Answer:

Rectangle B has a length of 4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle A has a width of 3 inches and a length of 5 inches.

Let us find its perimeter:

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

where L = length

W = width

Its perimeter is therefore:

P = 2(5 + 3)

P = 2 * 8 = 16 inches

Rectangle B has the same perimeter as Rectangle A. Let us find the length of B.

Its width is 4 inches, therefore, perimeter is:

P = 2(L + W)

16 = 2(L + 4)

16 = 2L + 8

16 - 8 = 2L

8 = 2L

=> L = 8 / 2 = 4 inches

Rectangle B has a length of 4 inches.

The Marauders foosball team is improving with each game. The first game they scored no points, but the second game they scored some goals. In their third game they scored 8 more points than the second. Now in their last game they scored three times as many points as their third. Altogether they scored 117 points!!! How many points did the Marauders score in the third game?

Answers

Answer:

25 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the second game, you can say the Foosball team scored x points.

In their third game, they would have scored x points, plus 8.

In the last game, they would have scored x points, plus 8, then multiply the WHOLE THING by 3.

We would get the following equation...

x + (x + 8) + 3(x + 8) = 117

x + x + 3x + 8 + 24 = 117

5x + 32 = 117

5x = 85

x = 17

So, the Marauders scored 0 points in the first game. In the second game, they scored 17 points. In the third, they scored 17 + 8 = 25 points. In the last, they scored 25 * 3 = 75 points. Altogether, that's 117 points!!

b= 0.5
