Answer:
Result = 9b/25 or 36b/100
Step-by-step explanation:
The number is b
step 1
b is decreased by 40%
value of 40% of b = 40/100 *b = 4b/10
New value after this change = b - 40% decreased value of b = b -4b/10
= (10b-4b)/10 = 6b/10
Step 2 The new value obtained is again decreased by 40%
value of 40% number found in step 1 = 40% of value found in step 1
value of 40% number found in step 1 = 40/100 * 6b/10 = 24b/100
This value (24b/100) is subtracted from value found in step 1(6b/10) as given that value obtained is decreased by 40%
new value found after 40% decrease = 6b/10 - 24b/100
new value found after 40% decrease = 60b/100 - 24b/100= 36b/100
new value found after 40% decrease = 36b/100 = 9b/25
Thus, the result of b is decreased by 40% and decreased again by 40% is 9b/25
A girl walks 800 m on a bearing of 129°.
Calculate how far: a east b south she is from
her starting point.
Answer: a) 503.2m
b) 621.6m
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
A represents her starting point.
CD = x = how far east she is from her starting point
BC = y = how far south she is from her starting point
Angle BAC = 180 - 129 = 51°
Angle ACD = angle BAC = 51° because they are alternate angles
To determine x, we would apply the cosine trigonometric ratio
Cos 51 = x /800
x = 800Cos51 = 800 × 0.629 = 503.2m
To determine y, we would apply the sine trigonometric ratio
Sin 51 = y /800
y = 800Sin51 = 800 × 0.777 = 621.6m
What is the difference?

the distance around the edge of a circular pond is 88m. the radius in meters is ?
(a)88π
(b)176π
(c)88/π
(d)88/2π
Answer: (d) 88/ 2π
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 88m
Perimeter of a circle = 2πr
88 = 2π x r
r = 88 / 2π
Answer:
88/2π = r
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference is 88 m
The circumference is given by
C = 2*pi*r
88 = 2 * pi *r
Divide each side by 2 pi
88 / 2pi = 2 * pi *r / 2 * pi
88 / 2 pi = r
Use the properties of logarithms to prove log81000= log210.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression [tex]log_81000 = log_210[/tex], to prove this expression is true using the properties of logarithm, we will follow the following steps.
Starting from the Left Hand Side:
[tex]log_81000\\[/tex]= log₈ 10³= log_ 2^3 (10³)= log₂10The 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.
The claim is that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is significantly more than 40.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=40\\\\H_a:\mu> 40[/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{42-40}{0.633}=\dfrac{2}{0.633}=3.161[/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=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.

Step-by-step explanation:
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]
The U.S. Department of Agriculture guarantees dairy producers that they will receive at least $1.00 per pound of butter they supply to the market. Below is the current monthly demand and supply schedule for wholesale butter (in millions of pounds per month). Wholesale Butter Market

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.

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.

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.
Answer:
Parallel line

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.
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

A 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).

researchers are interested in the average size of a certain species of mouse. They collect the length and gender of each mouse. What is the parameter likely estimated and the sample statistic
Answer:
E. The parameter is μmale - μfemale and the statistic is xmale - xfemale.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sample statistic is a piece of information about the individuals or objects that were selected from a given population. The sample is just a fraction of the total population. Since it is a herculean task studying an entire population, the sample forms a manageable size that allows us to have an insight into the entire population. The sample statistics are now the piece of information about the sample being studied such as the average, mean, median, or mode. The sample statistics have to be as specific as possible of the factors being measured. In the question, we would have to obtain the mean of both the male and female genders. This gives us an insight into the population under study.
The parameter, on the other hand, is a description of the entire population being studied. For example, we might want to determine the population mean. That is the factor we seek to measure. It is represented by the sign mu (μ).

Given the equation y = 7 sec(6x– 30)
The period is:
The horizontal shift is:
Answer:
The period is of [tex]\frac{\pi}{3}[/tex] units.
The horizontal shift is of 30 units to the left.
Step-by-step explanation:
The secant function has the following general format:
[tex]y = A\sec{(Bx + C)}[/tex]
A represents the vertical shift.
C represents the horizontal shift. If C is positive, the shift is to the right. If it is negative, it is to the left.
The period is [tex]P = \frac{2\pi}{B}[/tex]
In this question:
[tex]y = 7\sec{6x - 30}[/tex]
So [tex]B = 6, C = -30[/tex]
Then [tex]P = \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3}[/tex]
The period is of [tex]\frac{\pi}{3}[/tex] units.
The horizontal shift is of 30 units to the left.
