Step-by-step explanation:

At equilibrium quantity demanded Qd equals quantity supply Qs

                              Qd = Qs      (At equilibrium)

     ⇒                   150 - 2P = 50 + 3P

solving for P in the equation,

                             3P + 2P = 150 - 50

                              5P = 100

                                [tex]P = \frac{100}{5}[/tex]

                                P = 20

The ball travels a distance of 52 ft during the time interval [3,3.5]. The average velocity over this interval is 104 ft/sec. When we calculate over increasingly smaller time intervals, it appears the instantaneous velocity at t=3 is 96 ft/sec.

(a) We need to find the displacement Δs over the time interval [3,3.5]. For that, we subtract the position at time 3 from the position at time 3.5:

Δs = s(3.5) - s(3) = 16(3.5^2) - 16(3^2) = 196 - 144 = 52 ft.

(b) We calculate the average velocity by dividing Δs by Δt. That is Δs/Δt = 52/0.5 = 104 ft/sec.

(c) To estimate the instantaneous velocity at t=3, we have to compute the average velocities over smaller and smaller intervals centered at t=3. Let's calculate the average velocities for [3,3.01],[2.999,3]:

For [3,3.01]: Δs/Δt = [16*(3.01)^2 - 16*3^2]/0.01 = 96.12 ft/sec. For [2.999,3]: Δs/Δt = [16*3^2 - 16*(2.999)^2]/0.001 = 96 ft/sec.

Instantaneous velocity at t=3, v(3) can be estimated as the limit of these average velocities, which seems to be approaching about 96 ft/sec.

(a) The ball travel Δs= 52 ft during the time interval [3,3.5].

(b) The average velocity over [3,3.5] is Δs/Δt= 104 ft/sec

(c) The object's instantaneous velocity at t=3 .V(3)= 96 ft/sec

Let's solve the problem step-by-step.

Given:
The distance traveled by the ball after t seconds is given by the function: [tex]s(t) = 16t^2[/tex]

(a) To find the distance traveled, we need to calculate the change in the distance function, which is
[tex]\Delta s = s(3.5) - s(3)[/tex]

First, compute [tex]s(3)[/tex]:
[tex]s(3) = 16(3)^2 = 16 \times 9 = 144[/tex] ft

Next, compute [tex]s(3.5)[/tex]:
[tex]s(3.5) = 16(3.5)^2 = 16 \times 12.25 = 196[/tex] ft

So,
[tex]\Delta s = 196 - 144 = 52[/tex] ft

(b) Average velocity is calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time, which is
[tex]\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t} = \frac{52}{0.5} = 104[/tex] ft/sec

(c) For the time intervals, we compute each average velocity:

[3, 3.01]:
[tex]\Delta t = 0.01[/tex]
[tex]s(3.01) = 16(3.01)^2 = 16 \times 9.0601 = 144.9616[/tex] ft
[tex]\Delta s = 144.9616 - 144 = 0.9616[/tex] ft
[tex]\text{Average velocity} = \frac{0.9616}{0.01} = 96.16[/tex] ft/sec

[3, 3.001]:
[tex]\Delta t = 0.001[/tex]
[tex]s(3.001) = 16(3.001)^2 = 16 \times 9.006001 = 144.096016[/tex] ft
[tex]\Delta s = 144.096016 - 144 = 0.096016[/tex] ft
[tex]\text{Average velocity} = \frac{0.096016}{0.001} = 96.016[/tex] ft/sec

[3, 3.0001]:
[tex]\Delta t = 0.0001[/tex]
[tex]s(3.0001) = 16(3.0001)^2 = 16 \times 9.00060001 = 144.00960016[/tex] ft
[tex]\Delta s = 144.00960016 - 144 = 0.00960016[/tex] ft
[tex]\text{Average velocity} = \frac{0.00960016}{0.0001} = 96.0016[/tex] ft/sec

[2.9999, 3]:
[tex]\Delta t = 0.0001[/tex]
[tex]s(2.9999) = 16(2.9999)^2 = 16 \times 8.99940001 = 143.99040016[/tex] ft
[tex]\Delta s = 144 - 143.99040016 = 0.00959984[/tex] ft
[tex]\text{Average velocity} = \frac{0.00959984}{0.0001} = 95.9984[/tex] ft/sec

[2.999, 3]:
[tex]\Delta t = 0.001[/tex]
[tex]s(2.999) = 16(2.999)^2 = 16 \times 8.994001 = 143.904016[/tex] ft
[tex]\Delta s = 144 - 143.904016 = 0.095984[/tex] ft
[tex]\text{Average velocity} = \frac{0.095984}{0.001} = 95.984[/tex] ft/sec

[2.99, 3]:
[tex]\Delta t = 0.01[/tex]
[tex]s(2.99) = 16(2.99)^2 = 16 \times 8.9401 = 143.0416[/tex] ft
[tex]\Delta s = 144 - 143.0416 = 0.9584[/tex] ft
[tex]\text{Average velocity} = \frac{0.9584}{0.01} = 95.84[/tex] ft/sec

From these values, we can see that as the interval gets smaller, the average velocities are approaching a specific value. This helps us estimate the instantaneous velocity at [tex]t = 3[/tex].

[tex]V = \frac{5\pi}{6}[/tex] or 2.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our region (on the left) is bounded by x = 1 and x = 0 (where [tex]y = x^2 = 0[/tex], if we take center at x = 2 then our radius will range from 1 to 2 (x=1 to x = 0). We can use the following integration to calculate the volume using shell method

[tex]V = \int\limits^2_1 {2\pi r h} \, dr[/tex]

where r = 2 - x so x = 2 - r and [tex]h = y = x^2 = (2-r)^2[/tex] for [tex]1 \leq r \leq 2[/tex]

[tex]V = \int\limits^2_1 {2\pi r(2-r)^2} \, dr[/tex]

[tex]V = \int\limits^2_1 {2\pi r(4 - 4r + r^2)} \, dr[/tex]

[tex]V = 2\pi \int\limits^2_1 {r^3 - 4r^2 +4r} \, dr[/tex]

[tex]V = 2\pi\left[\frac{r^4}{4} - \frac{4r^3}{3} + 2r^2\right]^2_1[/tex]

[tex]V = 2\pi\left[\left(\frac{2^4}{4} - \frac{4*2^3}{3} + 2*2^2\right) - \left(\frac{1^4}{4} - \frac{4*1^3}{3} + 2*1^2\right)\right][/tex]

[tex]V = 2\pi(4 - 32/3 +8 - 1/4 + 4/3 - 2)[/tex]

[tex]V = \pi(20 - 56/3 - 1/2)[/tex]

[tex]V = \pi\frac{120 - 112 - 3}{6}[/tex]

Answer:

36% probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks that she looks.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each house, there is a 20% probability of it being acceptable. And a 100-20 = 80% of not being acceptable

What is the probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks that she looks (round off to second decimal place)?

She only looks one house a week.

So this is the same as the probability of taking two or less weeks to find a house.

The are two outcomes

Finding an acceptable house in the first week, with 20% probability

Not finding an acceptable house in the first week, with 80% probability, and then finding an acceptable house in the second week, with 20% probability.

Probability:

[tex]P = 0.2 + 0.8*0.2 = 0.36[/tex]

36% probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks that she looks.

The correct answer is 0.36 or 36%.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the probability that the house hunter does not find an acceptable house in the first two weeks and then subtract this probability from 1 to find the probability that she does find an acceptable house within that time frame.

 Let's denote the probability of finding an acceptable house in a given week as[tex]\( p \)[/tex] and the probability of not finding an acceptable house in a given week as [tex]\( q \)[/tex]. Since 20% of the houses are in acceptable condition, [tex]\( p = 0.20 \) and \( q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80 \).[/tex]

The probability that the house hunter does not find an acceptable house in the first week is[tex]\( q \).[/tex] The probability that she does not find an acceptable house in the first two weeks is the product of the probabilities that she does not find one in each of the two weeks separately, which is [tex]\( q \times q \) or \( q^2 \).[/tex]

Now, we calculate [tex]\( q^2 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ q^2 = (0.80)^2 = 0.64 \][/tex]

This is the probability that she will not find an acceptable house in the first two weeks. To find the probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks, we subtract this value from 1:

[tex]\[ \text{Probability of finding an acceptable house in two weeks} = 1 - q^2 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Probability of finding an acceptable house in two weeks} = 1 - 0.64 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Probability of finding an acceptable house in two weeks} = 0.36 \][/tex]

Answer:

e. 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, a certain quantity of goods was supplied while a specific quantity of goods was sold per week. In a given week, if the number of proportion sold is X, therefore:

f(x) = {Γ(4+2)/Γ(4)Γ(2) x^3 (1-x), 0≤x≤1 ; 0, elsewhere

and

P(X greater than 0.9) =  [tex]\int\limits^1_ {0.9} \, 20(x^{3} - x^{4}) dx[/tex] = 20*{(y^4/4)[1,0.9] - (y^5/5)[1,0.9]} = 20*{(0.25 - 0.164) - (0.20 - 0.118)}  = 20*{0.086 - 0.0819} = 20*0.0041 = 0.082

Therefore the probability of the proportion sold is approximately 0.082

The probability that at least 90% of the stock will be sold in a given week is approximately 0.05. The correct answer option is b. 0.05

Here's how to calculate it:

1. Given the beta distribution with parameters alpha = 4 and beta = 2, we want to find [tex]\( P(X > 0.9) \)[/tex], where X represents the proportion of stock sold in a week.

2. Since [tex]\( P(X > 0.9) = 1 - P(X \leq 0.9) \)[/tex], we need to find the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the beta distribution and then subtract it from 1.

3. Using the incomplete beta function formula [tex]\( I_{x}(\alpha, \beta) \)[/tex], we have:

[tex]\[ P(X > 0.9) = 1 - I_{0.9}(4, 2) \][/tex]

4. Calculating [tex]\( I_{0.9}(4, 2) \)[/tex] using software or a calculator gives approximately 0.95.

5. Subtracting this from 1:

[tex]\[ P(X > 0.9) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is b. 0.05.

Answer:

first quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

To know this we have to take into account that for the breast we have to look at the y-axis and in the cosine we will look at the x-axis

 We have the positive and the negative part of the x-axis, now we notice that it says that the cosine is positive, then the quadrant will be with the positive x,  these quadrants can be the first or the fourth.

Now if we look at sine = 4 is positive, this means that the axis y will also be positive,  this means that it will be between the first and second quadrant.

Now if we look to meet the conditions of the sine and cosine, the angle has to be found in the first quadrant

To determine the values of r for which the given differential equation has solutions of the form y = tr for t > 0, substitute y = tr into the given differential equation and solve for r. The values of r that satisfy the equation are r = 1.

To determine the values of r for which the given differential equation has solutions of the form y = tr for t > 0, we need to substitute y = tr into the given differential equation and solve for r.

First, we find the first and second derivatives of y = tr:

y' = r

y'' = 0

Substituting these derivatives into the differential equation, we get:

t2(0) - 2t(r) + 2(tr) = 0

Simplifying the equation, we have:

(2 - 2r)t = 0

This equation is satisfied when t = 0 or r = 1. Therefore, the values of r for which the given differential equation has solutions of the form y = tr for t > 0 are r = 1.

Answer:

Present value =  $4,122.4

Accumulated amount = $4,742

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount at the Start of money flow = $1,000

Increase in amount is exponentially at the rate of 5% per year

Time = 4 years

Interest rate = 3.5%  compounded continuously

Now,

Accumulated Value of the money flow = [tex]1000e^{0.05t}[/tex]

The present value of the money flow = [tex]\int\limits^4_0 {1000e^{0.05t}(e^{-0.035t})} \, dt[/tex]

= [tex]1000\int\limits^4_0 {e^{0.015t}} \, dt[/tex]

= [tex]1000\left [\frac{e^{0.015t}}{0.015} \right ]_0^4[/tex]

= [tex]1000\times\left [\frac{e^{0.015(4)}}{0.015} -\frac{e^{0.015(0)}}{0.015} \right][/tex]

= 1000 × [70.7891 - 66.6667]

= $4,122.4

Accumulated interest = [tex]e^{rt}\int\limits^4_0 {1000e^{0.05t}(e^{-0.035t}} \, dt[/tex]

= [tex]e^{0.035\times4}\times4,122.4[/tex]

= $4,742

The present value and interest accumulated would be as follows:

Present Value = $ 4,122.4

Interest Accumulated = $ 4742

Given that,

Principal at the beginning of money flow = $1,000

Exponential interest rate = 5% per year

Time Period = 4 years

So,

The accumulated money flow's worth = [tex]1000e^{0.05t}[/tex]

The current value of the money can be determined by [tex]\int\limits^4_0 1000e^{0.05t}(e^{-0.035t}) {} \, dt[/tex]

For the company A : [tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{3000}) =P(Z>2) = 1-P(Z<2)= 0.0228[/tex]

For the company B: [tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{7000}) =P(Z>0.857) = 1-P(Z<0.857)= 0.196[/tex]

So as we can see we have a higher probability for the company B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Company A

Let X the random variable that represent the salaries of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(27000,3000)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=27000[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=3000[/tex]

For this case if we find the probability for [tex] P(X>33000)[/tex] using the z score given by:

[tex] z= \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

And if we use this formula we got:

[tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{3000}) =P(Z>2) = 1-P(Z<2)= 0.0228[/tex]

Company B

Let X the random variable that represent the salaries of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(27000,7000)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=27000[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=7000[/tex]

For this case if we find the probability for [tex] P(X>33000)[/tex] using the z score given by:

[tex] z= \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

And if we use this formula we got:

[tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{7000}) =P(Z>0.857) = 1-P(Z<0.857)= 0.196[/tex]

The company from which we are more likely to get an offer of $33,000 or more is determined by comparing the probabilities of receiving such an offer from each of the two companies. This probability is determined using a concept called the z-score, with which we can convert any data point into a common scale, which makes comparison easier.

1. Compute the z-scores for obtaining this salary for both companies. The z-score formula is (X - μ) / σ where X is the data point we are interested in, μ stands for the mean amount of the starting salary, and σ is the standard deviation.

   For Company A:
   z = (33000 - 27000) / 3000
   We deduct the average salary for Company A (μ = 27000) from the target salary (X = 33000) and divide it by the standard deviation (σ = 3000).

   For Company B:
   Similarly, the z score is calculated by deducting the average salary for Company B (μ = 27000) the from target salary (X = 33000) and dividing by the standard deviation (σ = 7000).

2. Now we have the z-scores for both companies. The next step is to use the z-score to calculate the probability of getting an offer of $33,000 or more from both companies. We can do this by using the cumulative distribution function (CDF) which gives us the probability that a random variable is less than or equal to a certain value. But since we want the probability that the salary is more than $33,000, we subtract the result from one (1 - CDF(z)).

3. We compare these probabilities. The company with the higher probability value will be the one from which we are more likely to get an offer of $33,000 or more.

4. Based on these calculations, you are more likely to get an offer of $33,000 or more from Company B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If every person has to choose a different character, the first person to choose a character has 6 options, the second has 5, the third has 4, the fourth has 3, and the last person has only two options. Therefore, the total number of ways you can do this if all 5 people dress up as a different character is:

[tex]n=6*5*4*3*2\\n=720[/tex]

There are 720 ways.

Final answer:

There are 720 different ways for 5 people to dress up as the 6 main Avengers characters; this combinatorics problem uses permutations to find the answer.

Explanation:

Combinations for Avengers Characters

The question is about calculations of combinations, which falls under the subject of Mathematics. More specifically, this is a combinatorics problem that can typically be found at a High School level. We want to find out how many different ways 5 people can dress up as any of the 6 main Avengers characters, assuming each person dresses up as a different character. To solve this, we can use the concept of permutations because the order in which we assign the characters to the 5 friends does matter.

In this case, we have 6 characters to choose from, and we want to assign these characters to 5 friends. We are therefore looking for the number of permutations of 6 characters taken 5 at a time, which is calculated using the formula:

P(n, k) = n! / (n - k)!

Here, 'n' is the total number of characters, and 'k' is the number of people to dress up. Therefore, we have:

P(6, 5) = 6! / (6 - 5)! = 6! / 1! = 720 / 1 = 720

There are 720 different ways for the 5 friends to dress up as the Avengers characters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

[tex]X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.71)[/tex]

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

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

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

For this case we can begin finding the probability P(X>10). If we find the individual probabilities we got:

[tex]P(X=11)=(20C11)(0.71)^{11} (1-0.71)^{20-11}=0.0563[/tex]

[tex]P(X=12)=(20C12)(0.71)^{12} (1-0.71)^{20-12}=0.1034[/tex]

[tex]P(X=13)=(20C13)(0.71)^{13} (1-0.71)^{20-13}=0.1558[/tex]

[tex]P(X=14)=(20C14)(0.71)^{14} (1-0.71)^{20-14}=0.1907[/tex]

[tex]P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.71)^{15} (1-0.71)^{20-15}=0.1867[/tex]

[tex]P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.71)^{16} (1-0.71)^{20-16}=0.1429[/tex]

[tex]P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.71)^{17} (1-0.71)^{20-17}=0.082[/tex]

[tex]P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.71)^{18} (1-0.71)^{20-18}=0.036[/tex]

[tex]P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.71)^{19} (1-0.71)^{20-19}=0.0087[/tex]

[tex]P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.71)^{20} (1-0.71)^{20-20}=0.00106[/tex]

And if we add the values we got:

[tex] P(X>10)= P(X=11) +.... +P(X=20) = 0.961525[/tex]

And if we use the complement rule the probability that "no more than 10 wear glasses for driving" we can do this:

[tex] P(X\leq 10) = 1- 0.961525= 0.0385[/tex]

D) An observational study based on available data.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an observational study based on available data.

If it had been on a sample, he would take a sample of a few pitchers, and not studied the statistics of all major league pitchers during those seasons.

It is not an anecdotal evidence, because an anecdotal evidence is something without study, just an impression.

It is not an experiment, because he just studies(observes, that is why it is an observational study) the data, he does not change anything about the pitchers.

So the correct answer is:

D) An observational study based on available data.

The baseball enthusiast's decision is based on an observational study based on available data.

The baseball enthusiast's decision is based on A) an observational study based on available data. In this case, the enthusiast examined the records of all major league pitchers between 1990 and 1995. This observational study involved collecting and analyzing data that was already available, without manipulating any variables or conducting an experiment.

Answer:

66.98% probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 250 and 500.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, it is important to know the Normal probability distribution and the Central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 432, \sigma = 722, n = 40, s = \frac{722}{\sqrt{40}} = 114.16[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 250 and 500?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 500 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 250.

So

X = 500

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 432}{114.16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.6[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7257.

X = 250

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{250 - 432}{114.16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.59[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.59[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0559.

So there is a 0.7257 - 0.0559 = 0.6698 = 66.98% probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 250 and 500.

The probability that the mean gain for a sample of 40 years is between 250 and 500 is approximately 0.6698, or 66.98%.

To determine the probability that the mean gain for a random sample of 40 years of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is between 250 and 500, we will use the concept of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. The steps involved are:

State the given information:

  - Population mean [tex](\(\mu\))[/tex] = 432

  - Population standard deviation [tex](\(\sigma\))[/tex] = 722

  - Sample size n = 40

Find the standard error of the mean (SEM):

  The standard error of the mean is calculated as:

  [tex]\[ \text{SEM} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{722}{\sqrt{40}} \approx 114.2 \][/tex]

Convert the sample means to z-scores:

  To find the probability that the sample mean [tex](\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] is between 250 and 500, we convert these values to z-scores using the formula:

  [tex]\[ z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\text{SEM}} \] For \(\bar{x} = 250\): \[ z = \frac{250 - 432}{114.2} \approx \frac{-182}{114.2} \approx -1.59 \] For \(\bar{x} = 500\):[/tex]

  [tex]\[ z = \frac{500 - 432}{114.2} \approx \frac{68}{114.2} \approx 0.60 \][/tex]

Find the probability corresponding to the z-scores:

  Using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we find the probabilities corresponding to these z-scores.

   [tex]\(z = -1.59\), \(P(Z \leq -1.59) \approx 0.0559\) \\\(z = 0.60\), \(P(Z \leq 0.60) \approx 0.7257\)[/tex]

Calculate the probability that the mean gain is between 250 and 500:

  \[tex][ P(250 \leq \bar{x} \leq 500) = P(Z \leq 0.60) - P(Z \leq -1.59) \] \[[/tex]

 = 0.7257 - 0.0559 = 0.6698

Conclusion:

The probability that the mean gain for a sample of 40 years is between 250 and 500 is approximately 0.6698, or 66.98%.

Answer:

(a) [tex]p(x) = 17-\frac{x}{3,500}[/tex]

(b) $8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The slope of the demand function, p(x), is determined by:

[tex]m=\frac{11-9}{21,000-28,000}=-\frac{1}{3,500 }[/tex]

Applying the point (21,000; 11) to the general linear equation formula gives us the demand function:

[tex]p(x) - 11 = -\frac{1}{3,500}*(x-21,000)\\p(x) = 17-\frac{x}{3,500}[/tex]

(b) The revenue function, r(x), is given by:

[tex]r(x) =x*p(x) = 17x-\frac{x^2}{3,500}[/tex]

The value of x for which the derivate of the revenue function is zero gives us the attendance for which revenue is maximized:

[tex]\frac{dr(x)}{dx} =0= 17-\frac{2x}{3,500}\\x=29,750[/tex]

At an attendance of 29,750, the price is:

[tex]p = 17-\frac{29,750}{3,500}\\p=\$8.50[/tex]

Tickets should be set at a price of $8.50.

The demand function for the baseball team can be found using the given data points. The revenue function can be derived using the demand function, and its maximum can be determined by finding the critical points. The ticket price should be set at $8.50 to maximize revenue for the baseball team.

(a) To find the demand function, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation. Let's denote the ticket price as p and the attendance as a. We have two data points: (11, 21000) and (9, 28000). We can use the formula: a - a1 = m(p - p1) where (p1, a1) represents one of the given data points and m represents the slope. Let's use the first data point:

21000 - 28000 = m(11 - 9)

-7000 = 2m

m = -3500

So, the demand function is: a(p) = -3500p + b. To find the constant term b, we can substitute one of the data points into the equation. Let's use the first data point (11, 21000):

21000 = -3500(11) + b

21000 = -38500 + b

b = 59500

Therefore, the demand function is: a(p) = -3500p + 59500.

(b) Revenue is the product of the ticket price and the attendance. Let's denote the revenue as R and the ticket price as p. The revenue function can be written as: R(p) = p * a(p). Substituting the demand function into the revenue function, we have: R(p) = p * (-3500p + 59500). To maximize revenue, we can find the critical points of the function by taking the derivative and setting it equal to zero.

R'(p) = -7000p + 59500 = 0

-7000p = -59500

p = 8.5

The critical point is p = 8.5. To confirm that this gives a maximum, we can take the second derivative and check its sign.

R''(p) = -7000

Since the second derivative is negative, the critical point p = 8.5 corresponds to the maximum revenue. Therefore, the ticket price should be set at $8.50 to maximize revenue.

Answer:

The probability that Umbrella returns any shipment is 0.0062.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = the impurity level in the material per drum

Then it is provided that,

[tex]X\sim N(\mu = 0.03,\ \sigma=0.004)[/tex]

Also if the impurity level is more than or equal to 4% or 0.04 in any shipment, then Umbrella returns the entire drum to the supplier.

Compute the probability that Umbrella returns any shipment as:

[tex]P(X\geq 0.04)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{0.04-0.03}{0.004}) \\=P(Z\geq 2.5)\\=1-P(Z<2.5)\\=1-0.99379\\=0.00621\\\approx0.0062[/tex]

Use the z-table fro left z-scores to determine the probability.

Thus, the probability that Umbrella returns any shipment is 0.0062.

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage does not change.

Probability at least one of next 3 vehicles fail inspection: approximately 0.784 (to 3 decimal places).

To find the probability that at least one of the next three vehicles fail, we can calculate the probability of the complementary event, i.e., the probability that all three vehicles pass, and then subtract it from 1.

Given that 60% of vehicles pass the inspection, the probability that one vehicle fails the inspection is 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.

Since the vehicles pass or fail independently, the probability that all three vehicles pass is:

[tex]\[0.60 \times 0.60 \times 0.60 = 0.216\][/tex]

Now, the probability that at least one vehicle fails is:

[tex]\[1 - 0.216 = 0.784\][/tex]

So, the probability that at least one of the next three vehicles fail is approximately [tex]\(0.784\)[/tex] (to 3 decimal places).

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember some definitions about binary relations. If R⊆S×S then

a) R is not reflexive since (1,1)∉R.

R is irreflexive, since (a,a)∉R for all a=1,2,3,4

R is asymmetric: (2,3)∈R and (3,2)∉R (thus R is not symmetric).

R is antisymmetric, there are no cases to check. R is transitive, there are no cases to check.

b) R is reflexive, checking case by case, (a,a)∈R for all a=1,2,3,4. Hence R is not irreflexive.

R is not asymmetric: (1,2)∈R but (2,1)∈R. R is not symmetric, since (4,1)∈R but (1,4)∉R

R is not antisymmetric: (1,2)∈R and (2,1)∈R but 1≠2.

R is not transitive: (1,2)∈R and (2,4)∈R but (1,4)∉R.

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to divide the correct answers (111) by the total amount of questions (x) in order to find the 74% (0.74)

As per the unitary method, there are 150 questions on the test.

Let's start by breaking down the information we have been given. We know that 74% of the questions on the test were answered correctly, and the number of questions answered correctly is 111.

Step 1: Convert Percentage to Decimal

To make calculations easier, we need to convert the percentage into a decimal. To do this, we divide 74 by 100, which gives us 0.74.

Step 2: Set Up the Equation

Now we can set up an equation to solve for the total number of questions on the test. Let's denote the total number of questions as "x". Since 74% of the questions were answered correctly, we can say that 0.74x questions were answered correctly.

Step 3: Solve for Total Questions

We are given that 111 questions were answered correctly. So, we can set up the equation:

0.74x = 111

Step 4: Solve for "x"

To solve for "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.74:

x = 111 / 0.74

x = 150

Donna should contact four church groups and four labor unions to maximize her fundraising, which would yield $1400. The maximum money she could 'lose' (or not earn) is $0 if she does not contact any group.

We need to set up linear inequalities to represent the constraints described by Donna's situation. We will let x represent the number of church groups and y represent the number of labor unions she contacts.

The time required for letter writing can be described by the inequality: 2x + 2y <= 20, and the time for follow-ups is x + 3y <= 16.

We want to maximize the sum z = 150x + 200y which represents the total money she can raise.

To find the maximum, one method is to graph the feasible region defined by the constraints and find the vertices. Then evaluate the objective function at the vertices. In this case, the vertices are (0,0), (0,5), (8,0) and (4,4).

Upon calculation, contacting four church groups and four labor unions yields the highest amount of $1400.

As for the loss, given the nature of the task, the most money she could 'lose' in a month is just not raising any money at all, which would be $0 if she doesn't contact any group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Present Value of a Growing Perpuity is calculated using the following formula

PV =D/(r - g)

Where D = Dividend

r = Discount Rate

g = Growth rate

D = $50,000

r = 7%

r = 7/100

r = 0.07

g = 4%

g = 4/100

g = 0.04

PV = D/(r-g)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vectors are quantities that possess both magnitude and direction. In engineering problems, it is best to think of vectors as arrows, and usually it is best to manipulate vectors using components. In this tutorial, we consider the addition of two vectors using both of these techniques. Consider two vectors [tex]\vec{A}[/tex]and [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] that have lengths A and B, respectively. Vector [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] makes an angle?

1) Vector [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] makes an angle?

Yes, it does. Vector [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] makes an angle with [tex]\vec{A}[/tex], since both have the same origin and different direction.

2) From the direction of A.(Figure 1)In vector notation, the sum is represented by  [tex]\vec{C}=\vec{A}+\vec{B}[/tex]  where [tex]\vec{C}[/tex] is a new vector that is the sum of [tex]\vec{A}[/tex] and [tex]\vec{B}[/tex].  Find C, the length of C, which is the sum of A and B.

C is the resultant vector of this sum of vectors([tex](\vec{C}=\vec{A}+\vec{B})[/tex]

The length of c is found through the law of cosines, after projecting, vector a.

(Check 3rd picture)

2.2) The other technique to add vectors is to write them. As C is the resultant vector then we have

[tex]\vec{A}=\left \langle a_{1},a_{2} \right \rangle \vec{B}=\left \langle b_{1},b_{2} \right \rangle \vec{C}=\left \langle a_{1}+b_{1}, a_{2}+b_{2}\right \rangle[/tex]

In physics, vectors are quantities possessing both magnitude and direction. They can be represented as arrows on a graph, with their length and direction corresponding to the vector's magnitude and direction. Vectors are added geometrically using the head-to-tail method or analytically, where they are broken down into components, and these components are added separately.

This can be visualized as an arrow, where its length corresponds to the magnitude, and its direction is represented by the way the arrow points. Some examples of vectors include displacement, velocity, and force.

When adding vectors, there are two methods to consider: geometric or component wise method. The geometric method involves representing the vectors as arrows on a graph and adding them using the head-to-tail method. The component-wise method involves breaking down the vector into its x and y components, and adding these components separately.

For instance, if you have two vectors A and B, vector A can be broken down into its x and y components: A_x and A_y. Likewise, vector B can be broken down into B_x and B_y. Simply add corresponding components to yield the resultant vector, R_x = (A_x + B_x) and R_y = (A_y + B_y)

Answer:

Factory A should be operated 6.11 days

Factory B should be operated 6.88 days

The minimum cost for factory A is $6,110

The minimum cost for factory B is $5,504

Step-by-step explanation:

Factory A

Daily production: 16 3-speed and 20 10-speed bikes

Total daily production = 16+20 = 36 speed bikes

Order: 80 3-speed and 140 10-speed bikes

Total order = 80+140 = 220 speed bikes

Number of days = 220/36 = 6.11 days

Cost per day = $1,000

Minimum cost for 6.11 days = $1000 × 6.11 = $6,110

Factory B

Daily production: 12 3-speed and 20 10-speed bikes

Total daily production = 12+20 = 32 speed bikes

Total order = 220 speed bikes

Number of days = 220/36 = 6.88 days

Cost per day = $800

Cost for 6.88 days = $800 × 6.88 = $5,504

The business should operate Factory A for about 2.92 days and Factory B for about 4.17 days to fill the order at a minimum cost of $7148.

This problem can be solved using Linear Programming, a mathematical model used in optimization problems. Suppose we let A be the number of days factory A operates and B be the number of days factory B operates. The cost to operate the factories is given by the equation C = 1000A + 800B.

The constraints are as follows:

By solving these equations, you find that Factory A should be operated for about 2.92 days and Factory B should be operated for 4.17 days, giving a minimum cost of about $7148.
