a) [tex] \mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3[/tex]

b) From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean [tex]\bar X[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)[/tex]

c) [tex]P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)[/tex]

[tex]P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z<2.070)=1-0.981=0.019[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable the represent the scores for the test analyzed. We know that:

[tex] \mu=E(X) = 276.1 , \sigma=Sd(X) = 34.4[/tex]

And we select a sample size of 64.

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Part a

For this case the mean and standard error for the sample mean would be given by:

[tex] \mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3[/tex]

Part b

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean [tex]\bar X[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)[/tex]

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

[tex] P(\bar X \geq 285)[/tex]

And we can use the z score defined as:

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

And using this we got:

[tex]P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)[/tex]

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

[tex]P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z<2.070)=1-0.981=0.019[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2014

Car price = 20000

2015

Car price = 16000

Depreciation = 20000 - 16000 = 4000

Depreciation % = (4000/20000)*100 = 20%

2016

Car price = 12800

Depreciation = 16000 -12800 = 3200

Depreciation % = (3200/16000)*100 = 20%

Answer: dr/dt = 0.042 cm/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

dV/dt = 4cm^3/minute

t = 2.25minutes

Volume of a sphere is given as;

V = (4/3)πr^3

Change in Volume ∆V can be derived by differentiating the function.

dV/dt= 4πr^2 . dr/dt

dV/dt = 4πr^2dr/dt ....1

dV/dt is given as 4 cm^3/min

radius after 2.25 minutes can be gotten from the the volume.

Volume after 2.25mins = 4×2.25 = 9cm^3

9cm^3 = V = 4/3πr^3

r^3 = 27/4π

r = (27/4π)^1/3

From equation 1.

dr/dt = (dV/dt)/4πr^2 = 4/(4πr^2) = 1/(πr^2)

dr/dt = 1/(π(27/4π)^2/3)

dr/dt = 0.042cm/minute.

The rate at which the surface area of the sphere is increasing can be found using related rates in calculus. By differentiating the volume formula with respect to time, we relate the rates of change for the radius and surface area, and then plug in the given volume increase rate when the radius is 3m.

The problem requires the application of related rates in calculus to find the rate at which the surface area of a sphere is increasing. To calculate this, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere, which is V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, and the formula for the surface area, which is S = 4\pi r^2. Given a rate of volume increase, \frac{dV}{dt} = 10 m^3/sec, we can differentiate the volume with respect to time to find the relationship between the rates of change of the radius and volume. Then we use the rate of change of the radius to find the rate of change of the surface area.

Step 1: Differentiate the volume with respect to time.

\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2 \frac{dr}{dt}

Step 2: Solve for \frac{dr}{dt} when the radius is 3m.

Step 3: Use the value of \frac{dr}{dt} to find \frac{dS}{dt} (the rate of surface area increase).

Step 4: \frac{dS}{dt} = 8\pi r \frac{dr}{dt}

Answer:the park is located 0.808 miles away from the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonas is jogging from the Park to the school. The total number of miles that Jonas has jogged so far is 0.424.

He has 0.384 mile left to jog. This means that the distance of the park from the school would be the sum of the distance that he has jogged so far and the distance that he has left to jog. It becomes

0.424 + 0.384 = 0.808 miles

Answer:

Racket must have cost 135.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Percentile amount of shipping and handling charge = 7%

Actual amount of shipping and handling charge= 9.45

we need to find the Cost of racket.

Solution:

Let the cost of racket be 'x'.

Now we can say that:

Percentile amount of shipping and handling charge multiplied by cost of racket and then divided by 100 is equal to actual amount of shipping and handling charge.

framing in equation form we get;

 [tex]\frac{7}{100}x=9.45[/tex]

Multiplying both side by  [tex]\frac{100}{7}[/tex] we get;

[tex]\frac{7}{100}x\times \frac{100}{7}=9.45\times \frac{100}{7}\\\\x=135[/tex]

hence Racket must have cost 135.

Answer:

a) The number of correct answers

b) Discrete

c) Ratio        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Experiment:

Evaluate the effectiveness of different study strategies. All students were then given a test on the passage material and the researchers recorded the number of correct answers.

a) The dependent Variable

The number of correct answers given is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of times the passage is read.

b) Nature of dependent variable.

c) Scale of measurement

The correct answers are as follows: a: number of correct answers on the test, b: discrete, and c: ratio scale.

a. The dependent variable for this study is the number of correct answers on the test.

b. The dependent variable is discrete because it consists of countable values, specifically the number of questions answered correctly, which can only be whole numbers.

c. The scale of measurement used to measure the dependent variable is the ratio scale. This is because the number of correct answers has a true zero point (it is possible to have zero correct answers), and the differences between the numbers of correct answers are meaningful and consistent. Additionally, the ratio scale allows for the comparison of ratios, such as one student answering twice as many questions correctly as another.

To elaborate, in experimental design, the dependent variable is the variable that is measured to assess the effect of the independent variable (in this case, the study strategy). The dependent variable is what changes as a result of manipulating the independent variable. In this study, the researchers are interested in how different study strategies affect test performance, so they measure test performance by counting the number of correct answers each student provides.

The nature of the dependent variable as discrete or continuous depends on whether the data can take on any value within a range (continuous) or only specific values (discrete). Since the number of correct answers can only be whole numbers (e.g., 5 correct answers, not 5.5), it is discrete.

Finally, the scale of measurement indicates the level of precision with which the variable is measured. The nominal scale is used for categorical data without any order (e.g., gender, race). The ordinal scale is used for data that can be ranked but without equal intervals between ranks (e.g., socioeconomic status). The interval scale is used for data with equal intervals between values but no true zero (e.g., temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit). The ratio scale is used for data with a true zero and equal intervals between values, allowing for the comparison of ratios (e.g., height, weight, and in this case, the number of correct answers). Since the number of correct answers can be zero (indicating no correct answers) and the differences between scores are meaningful, the dependent variable in this study is measured on a ratio scale.

Final answer:

To find the union of sets C and D, you combine the elements of both sets without repeating any elements. The union, C ∪ D, is therefore {2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12}.

Explanation:

The question asks to list the elements of the set that is the union of two sets C and D. The union of two sets contains all the elements that are in either set. Therefore, C ∪ D is the set that includes all the elements from both sets C and D without duplication.

Set C contains the integers {2, 3, 4, 5} and set D contains the integers {9, 10, 11, 12}. Hence, the union of sets C and D, denoted C ∪ D, would be {2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12}. This combines all the unique elements from both sets.

Answer:

6 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height of wall = 9'

Width of walls = 13', 13', 18' and 18'

Dimension of roll = 3' x 2' x 50'

Now,

Total area of the walls = 9' × 13' + 9' × 13' + 9' × 18' + 9' × 18'

= 117 + 117 + 162 + 162

= 558 ft²

Area of each roll = 2' × 50'

= 100 ft²

Thus,

Number of rolls required = [ Total area of the walls  ] ÷ [ Area of each roll ]

= 558 ft² ÷ 100 ft²

= 5.58 ≈ 6 rolls

Final answer:

To insulate the recreation room, the homeowner needs to calculate the total area of the walls and then divide it by the area covered by one roll of insulation. After calculating the areas and factoring in the size of the rolls, it is determined that the homeowner needs to purchase 4 rolls of insulation.

Explanation:

The homeowner needs to calculate the amount of insulation needed for a new recreation room. To determine the number of rolls required, we first need to calculate the total area to cover by adding the areas of all four walls. The walls are 9’ high with two of them measuring 13’ in length and the other two are 18’ in length.

The total area These areas can be calculated using the formula Area = Height × Length for each wall. For the 13’ walls: Area = 9’ × 13’ = 117 sq ft (per wall). So, for both, it would be 117 sq ft × 2 = 234 sq ft. And for the 18’ walls: Area = 9’ × 18’ = 162 sq ft (per wall), which is 162 sq ft × 2 = 324 sq ft in total. Now, let's add these together to get the total area of all walls that need insulation: 234 sq ft + 324 sq ft = 558 sq ft.

Next, we calculate how many square feet are in each roll. Since each roll measures 3’ x 50’, the area per roll is 3’ x 50’ = 150 sq ft.

Finally, by dividing the total area needed by the area one roll covers, we can determine the number of rolls:
Number of rolls needed = Total area ÷ Area per roll = 558 sq ft ÷ 150 sq ft/roll ≈ 3.72 rolls.

Since we cannot purchase a fraction of a roll, the homeowner will need to purchase 4 rolls of insulation.

Answer:the number of adults that attended the game is 135.

the number of children that attended the game is 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adults that attended the game.

Let y represent the number of children that attended the game.

There were 166 paid admissions to a game. This means that

x + y = 166

The price was $2 for adults and $.75 for children. The amount of data taken in was $293.25. This means that

2x + 0.75y = 293.25 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 166 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(166 - y) + 0.75y = 293.25

332 - 2y + 0.75y = 293.25

- 2y + 0.75y = 293.25 - 332

- 1.25y = - 38.75

y = - 38.75/- 1.25

y = 31

x = 166 - y = x = 166 - 31

x = 135

Final answer:

The depth of water around the boat, d(t), varies based on the tidal patterns. Tides are influenced by various factors including the moon's gravity, ocean depth, and local geography. Accurate prediction requires tidal charts and local data.

Explanation:

The depth of water around the boat, represented as d(t), varies based on time due to the tidal patterns. The tides are influenced by numerous factors such as the alignment and gravitational pull of the moon and sun, the depth of the ocean, and local geographical features like bays and estuaries. In the case of the Bay of Fundy, the tides can have an exceptionally large range due to its shape and the resonance of the tidal forces.

The frequency and height of tides will determine how often and to what extent the water level rises and falls, thus affecting the depth at any given hour. To forecast these tidal levels and ensure safe boating conditions, experts create tidal charts with high accuracy, taking into account local bathymetry and global tidal patterns. However, the actual mathematical representation of d(t) would require access to these local tidal patterns and data from the mentioned charts or measurement systems to create a function that accurately represents the changing water depth around the boat.

Answer:

The percent increase between getting a high school scholarship and bachelor's degree is 59.14%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

High school scholarship is $421.

Bachelor's degree is $670.

Now, to find the percent increase between a high school scholarship and bachelor's degree.

So, we get the amount of increase between a high school scholarship and bachelor's degree.

[tex]670-421=249.[/tex]

Thus, the amount of increase = $249.

Now, to get the percent increase between a high school scholarship and bachelor's degree:

[tex]\frac{249}{421}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{24900}{421}[/tex]

[tex]=59.14\%.[/tex]

Therefore, the percent increase between getting a high school scholarship and bachelor's degree is 59.14%.

The percent increase from a high school scholarship ($421) to a bachelor's degree ($670) is calculated to be roughly 59.1%. The overall value of a bachelor's degree over a lifetime typically exceeds this amount, with degree holders potentially earning millions more than their counterparts with only a high school diploma.

The subject of this question is a mathematical one, dealing with percentage increase. To find the percent increase between getting a high school scholarship and a bachelor's degree, we first subtract the smaller value (high school scholarship) from the larger value (bachelor's degree). We then divide the result by the starting value (high school scholarship). Thus, the formula is: [(670 - 421)/421] * 100%.

A simplified calculation gives us: [(249)/421] * 100% = 59.1%.

Therefore, there is a 59.1% increase in the value from a high school scholarship to a bachelor's degree based on the given figures.

It's also worth noting that over the course of a career, according to a 2021 report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, adults with a bachelor's degree earn an average of $2.8 million during their careers, $1.2 million more than the median for workers with a high school diploma.

Answer:

1 meter farther

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in time from 4 seconds to 10 seconds is 6 seconds.

The speed is half of the difference of time.

That is why the speed is 3 m/s.

The difference in time from 10 to 18 is 8 seconds.

Take the time and divide it by 2 to get the speed.

The speed is 4 m/s.

The object's position is 1 more meter.

4 m/s - 3 m/s = 1 m/s

The object's position after 8 seconds is 24 m to have elapsed.

What is Division method?

Division method is used to distributing a group of things into equal parts. Division is just opposite of multiplications.

For example, dividing 20 by 2 means splitting 20 into 2 equal groups of 10.

Given that;

Over the interval from 4 seconds to 10 seconds, the object's speed was calculated to be 3 m/s.

Now,

Since, Over the interval from 4 seconds to 10 seconds, the object's speed was calculated to be 3 m/s.

That is,

The speed = 3 m/s

Time = 10 - 4 = 6 seconds

So, The distance cover by object's in 6 seconds = 3 x 6

                                                                         = 18 m

Hence, The object cover the distance in 8 seconds = 18 x 8 / 6

                                                                                = 24 m

So, The object's position after 8 seconds is 24 m to have elapsed.

Answer:

  (x -5)² +(y -1)² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle centered at (h, k) with radius r is ...

  (x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²

Here, the radius is equal to the x-coordinate of the center, since you want the circle tangent to the y-axis. That means (h, k) = (5, 1) and r = 5. The equation you want is ...

  (x -5)² +(y -1)² = 25

The equation of the circle with center at (5,1) and tangent to the y-axis is (x - 5)² + (y - 1)² = 25.

To find this equation, we can use the general form of a circle's equation, which is:

(x - A)² + (y - B)² = C

Where A and B are the x and y coordinates of the center of the circle, respectively, and C is the square of the radius of the circle. Since the circle is tangent to the y-axis and its center is at (5,1), the radius of the circle must be 5 units because this is the horizontal distance from the center to the y-axis. Therefore, C will be 5², which is 25. The complete equation of the circle is:

(x - 5)² + (y - 1)² = 25

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are looking for a missing angle measure, you use the 2nd button and the cos button.  Make sure, first off, that your calculator is in "degree" mode by hitting the "mode" button and making sure that the "degree" is highlighed and not the "radian".  Then hit "clear".  Once you know that you are in the correct mode, hit "2nd" then "cos" and you will see this on your screen:

[tex]cos^{-1}([/tex]

Inside the parenthesis you will enter your decimal, so it looks like this now:

[tex]cos^{-1}(.7431[/tex]

You do NOT have to close the parenthesis, but you can if you want to.  Then hit "enter" to get that the angle that has a cosine of .7431 is 42.0038314 or, to the nearest degree, 42

The inverse cosine function is used to find the angle from the cosine value. In this case, angle A is approximately 42 degrees.

To find the angle measure when given the cosine value, you use the inverse cosine function, sometimes written as cos-1 or arccos. The inverse cosine of a given number tells you what angle has that given cosine value.

So for cos A = 0.7431, we need to find the inverse of cosine of 0.7431. Use your calculator's inverse cosine function (often labeled as cos-1 or arccos) with the input 0.7431. Ensure your calculator is in degree mode if the answer needs to be in degrees, which seems to be your case.

Using this process, you should find that angle A is approximately 42 degrees (42.006 to be exact).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:Kami sold 28 large figurines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of large figurines that Kami sold.

Let y represent the number of small figurines that Kami sold.

This month kami sold 70 figurines in 2 sizes. This means that

x + y = 70 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The large figurines sold for $12 each and the small figurines sold for $8 each. The amount of money he received from the sales of the large figurines was equal to the amount of money he received from the sales of the small figurines. This means that

12x = 8y

y = 12x/8

y = 1.5x

Substituting y = 1.5x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 1.5x = 70

2.5x = 70

x = 70/2.5 = 28

y = 1.5x = 1.5 × 28 = 42

Answer:

  11,664 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

For a square side length of x, the girth is 4x and the length of the parcel is then allowed to be up to 108-4x.

The total volume is the product of the edge lengths, so is ...

  V = (108 -4x)(x²) = -4x³ +108x²

This will be a maximum where its derivative is zero:

  dV/dx = -12x² +216x = 0 = -12x(x -18)

This is zero for x=0 and for x=18.

The maximum volume parcel is 18 in by 18 in by 36 in, and has a volume of ...

  (18 in)(18 in)(36 in) = 11,664 in³

To find the largest possible volume of a rectangular parcel with two square sides adhering to postal regulations, we use a derived formula V = x²(108 - 4x) and apply optimization to find the maximum volume.

To answer the question about the largest possible volume of a rectangular parcel with two square sides that can be sent by fourth-class mail, we use the given postal regulation that states the girth plus the length of a parcel may not exceed 108 inches. Assuming we have a box with dimensions x (for the length and width of the square sides) and y (for the length), the girth is calculated as 4x (since we have two square sides) and the total allowed measurement is 4x + y <= 108 inches. The volume V of the parcel is x²y.

First, we express y in terms of x: y = 108 - 4x. We can then rewrite the volume formula in terms of x: V = x²(108 - 4x). To maximize the volume, we take the derivative of V with respect to x and set it to zero: dV/dx = 2x(108 - 4x) - 4x². Solving for x, we find the critical points which will give us the value of x that maximizes the volume. Plugging this x value back into V or y = 108 - 4x, we can find the maximum volume and the dimensions of the parcel. Without explicitly solving the calculus problem, the general approach is to use optimization via calculus or other mathematical techniques to maximize the volume function.
