The Jones family and the Connor family both bought the same boxed package of sugar cubes at the store, in which the cubes were arranged in 5 layers. After drinking of 61 cups of tea, the Joneses found that they were out of sugar. The Connors' sugar box was enough to last them through 88 cups of tea. Both families put either 2 or 3 pieces of sugar per cup. How many sugar cubes were in the box?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beggining, it says they are stacked in 5 layers which means the number of cubes is divisible by 5.

If the number of cubes equals x:

The least amount of sugar cubes the Jones family could have used is [tex]61*2[/tex] which equals 122. The most they couldve used is [tex]61*3[/tex] which equals 183.

Based on the information from the Jones family, x is between 122 and 183.

Based on the information from the Connor's, x is between 176 and 264.

Based on the information from both, x is between 176 and 183. The only number that is divisible by 5 between those numbers is 180 cubes.

Herschel uses an app on his smartphone to keep track of his daily calories from meals. One day his calories from breakfast were more than his calories from​ lunch, and his calories from dinner were less than twice his calories from lunch. If his total caloric intake from meals was ​, determine his calories for each meal.

Answers

Answer:

let the number of calories from lunch be called L. As such, breakfast is then L + 128, and dinner is 2L - 400. We can then sum the three meals and equate it to the total caloric intake, the known value of 1932.

  So: 1932 = L + L + 128 + 2L - 400 = 4L - 272.

  Lunch = 551

Breakfast = 551 + 128 = 679

Dinner = 2*551 - 400 = 702

Determine the function which corresponds to the given graph. (3 points) a natural logarithmic function crossing the x axis at negative two and y axis at one.
The asymptote is x = -3.





Answers

Answer:

[tex]y =log_e(x+3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the graph corresponds to a natural logarithmic function.

That means, the function [tex]y[/tex] has a natural log (Log with base [tex]e[/tex]) of some terms of x.

It is given that asymptote of given curve is at [tex]x= -3[/tex]. i.e. when we put value

[tex]x= -3[/tex], the function will have a value [tex]y \rightarrow \infty[/tex].

We know that natural log of 0 is not defined.

So, we can say the following:

[tex]log_e(x+a)[/tex] is not defined at [tex]x= -3[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x+a =0\\\Rightarrow x = -a[/tex]

i.e. [tex]x =-a[/tex] is the point where [tex]y \rightarrow \infty[/tex]

a = 3

Hence, the function becomes:

[tex]y =log_e(x+3)[/tex]

Also, given that the graph crosses x axis at x = -2

When we put x = -2 in the function:

[tex]y =log_e(-2+3) = log_e(1) = 0[/tex]

And y axis at 1.

Put x = 0, we should get y = 1

[tex]y =log_e(0+3) = log_e(3) \approx 1[/tex]

So, the function is: [tex]y =log_e(x+3)[/tex]

A poll stated that 32% of those polled think the economy is getting worse. An economist wanted to check this claim so she surveyed 750 people and found that 30% of them thought the economy is getting worse. What is the p-value? (α=0.05)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.30 -0.32}{\sqrt{\frac{0.32(1-0.32)}{750}}}=-1.174[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(z<-1.174)=0.240[/tex]  

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level given we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion is not significantly different from 0.32 or 32 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=750 represent the random sample taken

[tex]\hat p=0.30[/tex] estimated proportion of  people who  thought the economy is getting worse

[tex]p_o=0.32[/tex] is the value that we want to verify

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to check if the true proportion of interest is equal to 0.32 or not.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p=0.32[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p \neq 0.32[/tex]  

The statistic would be given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.30 -0.32}{\sqrt{\frac{0.32(1-0.32)}{750}}}=-1.174[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

Francis Bacon and his wife purchased a condominium on the beach for $235,000.

They made a $40,000 down payment. Their annual expenses were mortgage

interest of $11,700, depreciation of 3% of the purchase price of the house, and

taxes, repairs, and insurance of $15,430. They rented the condo for $3,000 per

month. What is the annual yield?

(A) 1.52%

(C) 3.62%

(B) 2.55%

(D) 4.55%

Answers

Answer:

D) 4.55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rented Income = $3000 per month

= $3000 * 12 = $36,000 annually

Less : - Annual expenses = $11700

Depreciation(3% OF 235000) = $7050

Tax, repairs and Insurance = 15430

Annual net income = $36,000 - ($11,700+$7,050+$15,430)

= $36,000 - $34,180

Annual net income = $1,820

To find annual yield, use the formula below:

Annual yield = (annual net income/down payment) * 100

Therefore, annual yield will be:

Annual yield [tex] = \frac{1,820}{40,000} * 100 [/tex]

= 0.0455 * 100

= 4.55%

Annual yield = 4.55%

Safety regulations require that the time between airplane takeoffs (on the same runway) will be at least 3 minutes. When taking off, the run time of an airplane on the runway is 33 seconds. Planes are on average waiting 6 minutes and 48 seconds for take-off. On average there are 16 planes taking off per hour. How many planes are either on the runway or waiting to take off? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

1.96 planes

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of planes is shown below:

As we know that

System Inventory  is

= Flow rate in the system × Throughput time

where,

Flow rate is

= Frequency of taken off

= 16 planes ÷ hour

= 16 ÷ 60 Planes per minute

Throughput time  is

=  runway waiting time + runway Run time

= 33 seconds +  6 minutes × 60 seconds + 48 seconds

= 441  seconds

= 441  per 60 seconds

Therefore the number of planes is

[tex]= \frac{441}{60} \times \frac{16}{60}[/tex]

= 1.96 planes

Answers

Answer:

lateral area =150 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

lateral area =(perimieter of prism base) times the height of the prism

so, the perimeter of the base is 9 ft*2 + 6 ft*2 which equals 30 ft

then you multiply the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism

so, height of prism =5 ft, so 5 ft times 30 ft =150 feet

therefor, the lateral area of the prism = 150 feet squared

Oc) 0
O d) 5

Answers

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 20 = 0

Add 20 to each side

5x = 20

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

The zero is when x = 4

Answer:

a) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zero of 5x - 20 = 0, find the value of x.

5x - 20 = 0

Add 20 to both sides.

5x - 20 + 20 = 0 + 20

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5.

(5x)/5 = 20/5

x = 4

The zero of 5x - 20 = 0 is 4.

Suppose that the number of square feet per house are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation.

The EBM, margin of error, for a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t. distribution is 66.96.2. Find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution.

Answers

Answer:

1. The margin of error is of 66.96 square feet.

2. The 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution is between 1433.04 square feet and 1566.96 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 22 - 1 = 21

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 21 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.08

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.08*\frac{151}{\sqrt{22}} = 66.96[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The margin of error is of 66.96 square feet.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1500 - 66.96 = 1433.04 square feet

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1500 + 314 = 1566.96 square feet

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution is between 1433.04 square feet and 1566.96 square feet

Respondents were asked: “Typically, how many times per week do you sleep less than 6 hours during  the night?” On average, those surveyed reported an average of 1.8 nights per week in which they got  less than 6 hours of sleep. Which of the following is true with respect to this scenario?

A) 8400 is the size of the population being studied.

B) 1.8 is a parameter and represents an estimate of the unknown value of a statistic of  interest.

C) 1.8 is a statistic and represents an estimate of the unknown value of a parameter of  interest.

D) None of the above

We are given that in a survey of sleeping habits, 8400 national adults were selected randomly and contacted by telephone.  

On average, those surveyed reported an average of 1.8 nights per week in which they got  less than 6 hours of sleep.

In the question 8400 is the sample size (n) as it is taken from the population to conduct a survey.

So, the statement is not true that 8400 is the size of the population being studied. It is the size of the sample being tested.

Also, the sample mean = 1.8 nights per week, it is sample or statistic value because it is calculated using sample size value and it is an estimate or representation of the population unknown parameter.

So, the correct statement is that 1.8 is a statistic and represents an estimate of the unknown value of a parameter of  interest.

The distribution of the monthly rent does not follow the normal distribution. In fact, it is positively skewed. What is the probability of selecting a sample of 55 one-bedroom apartments and finding the mean to be at least $1,985 per month

Answers

Answer:

Probability is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

mean;μ = $2,075

Standard deviation;σ = $300

n = 55

x' = $1,985

Now, we want to find x' to be at least $1,985 which is P(x' > $1,985).

The z-value is calculated from;

z = (x' - μ)/(√σ/n)

Plugging in the relevant values;

z = (1985 - 2075)/(√300/55)

z = -38.536

So, P(x' > $1,985) = P(z > -38.536)

This transforms to;

P(z < 38.536)
