An appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a mean of no more than 250 W. From previous studies, it is believed that power consumption for microwave ovens is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 15 W. A consumer group has decided to try to discover if the claim appears true. They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W. The appropriate hypotheses to determine if the manufacturer's claim appears reasonable are

Answer:

.18 % increase

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would find what the difference is between the school enrollment

you would do 1456 - 1234 =  222

Then you would divide 1234/1456 = 84.75% to see the total percentage

The increase however has a percentage of .18%

To check your work you would do .18 x 1234 = 222.12 ( round to the nearest whole number so it would just be 222) then add 1234+ 222 = 1456!

Answer:

A) (1,456-1,234) ÷ 1,456

Question:

A small tie shop finds that at a sales level of x ties per day its marginal profit is MP(x )dollars per​ tie, where

MP(x) =1.85 + 0.12x - 0.0024x². ​Also, the shop will lose ​$65 per day at a sales level of x= 0. Find the profit from operating the shop at a sales level of x ties per day.

Answer:

P(x) = 1.85x + 0.06x^2 - 0.0008x^3 - 65

Step-by-step explanation:

MP(x) = 1.85 + 0.12(x) - 0.0024(x^2)

At sales level, x=0, loss = $65

P(0) = - $65

Integrating MP(x) with respect to x

P(x) = ∫MP(x) dx = ∫ 1.85 + 0.12(x) - 0.0024(x^2)

P(x) = 1.85x + 0.06x^2 - 0.0008x^3 + C

Therefore :

P(x) = 1.85x + 0.06x^2 - 0.0008x^3 - 65

Correct question:

A small tie shop finds that at a sales level of x ties per day its marginal profit is MP(x )dollars per​ tie, where

MP(x) =1.85 + 0.12x - 0.0024x². ​Also, the shop will lose ​$65 per day at a sales level of x= 0. Find the profit from operating the shop at a sales level of x ties per day.

Answer:

P(x) =1.85x +0.06x² - 0.0008x³ - 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the marginal profit function:

MP(x) =1.85 +0.12x - 0.0024x², P(0)= -65

We are to find P(x).

P(x) = ∫MP(x) dx

P(x) = ∫(1.85 + 0.12x - 0.0024x²) dx

= ∫1.85 dx+∫0.12x dx+∫(-0.0024x²)dx + C

= 1.85x + 0.06x² - 0.0008x³ + C

Initial condition at P(0) = - 65

where x(0), P(x) = -65

we have:

-65 = 1.85(0)+0.06(0)² - 0.0008x(0)³ + C

-65 = 0 + 0 - 0 + C

-65 = C

C = -65

P(x) =1.85x + 0.06x² - 0.0008x³ - 65

Answer:

a) 11.51% probability that a random college woman has a height of 68 inches or​ more

b) This height is 70.135 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

The normal distribution has two parameters, which are the mean and the standard deviation.

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 problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 65, \sigma = 2.5[/tex]

a. What is the probability that a random college woman has a height of 68 inches or​ more?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 68. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{68 - 65}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8849

1 - 0.8849 = 0.1151

11.51% probability that a random college woman has a height of 68 inches or​ more

b. To be in the Tall​ Club, a woman must have a height such that only​ 2% of women are taller. What is this​ height?

This weight is the 100-2 = 98th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98. So X when Z = 2.054.

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

[tex]2.054 = \frac{X - 65}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]X - 65 = 2.054*2.5[/tex]

[tex]X = 70.135[/tex]

This height is 70.135 inches.

Carlita's Speed or distance over time

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the data (her distance) is her speed.

Speed is the rate of change of distance, distance covered overtime.

Speed = distance/time

Unit = meter/seconds or miles per hour

Therefore, the rate of change for that data represent Carlita's Speed or distance over time

Answer:

The length of shadow of the woman is 14.375 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that

Height of the woman = 5.75 ft

Height of the lamp post = 12 ft

Shadow of the lamp post = 30 ft

Let the angle of elevation of the light source be θ

By definition, in a right triangle, with respect to angle θ, we have;

tan(θ) = Opposite÷Adjacent

Therefore, tan(θ) = (Height of the lamp post)÷(Shadow of the lamp post)

and tan(θ) = 12 ft ÷ 30 ft = 0.4

θ = Actan(0.4) = tan⁻¹(0.4) = 21.8°

Since, angle of elevation of the light = Angle of depression of the light (alternate angles) = 21.8° we have

tan(θ) = (Height of the woman) ÷ (Length of shadow of the woman)

∴ Length of shadow of the woman = (Height of the woman) ÷ tan(θ)

Length of shadow of the woman = 5.75 ft ÷ tan(21.8) = 5.75 ft ÷ 0.4

Length of shadow of the woman = 5.75 ft ÷ 0.4 = 14.375 ft.

Answer:

The of the pentagon is A=232.48cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of flat shapes, a pentagon

Now given the apothem the area can be expressed as

A=a²n tan (180/n)

where

a = the length of the apothem (in radius)

n = the number of sides= 5 for pentagon

tan is the tangent function calculated in degrees

Substituting our given data we can solve for the area A

A= 8²*5 tan (180/5)

A= 64*5 tan 36

A= 320tan 36

A= 320*0.7265

A=232.48cm²

Answer:

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

74,250 car accidents. Of those, in 20,187, the driver was a female.

Based on this, what is the probability that a female driver was involved in an accident?

p = 20187/74250 = 0.2719

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident

The probability that a female driver was involved in one of the car accidents in 2005 is approximately 27.2%.

To determine the probability that a female driver was involved in an accident, we use the following formula:

In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is the number of accidents involving a female driver (20,187), and the total number of outcomes is the total number of car accidents (74,250).

Therefore, the probability that a female driver was involved in an accident is approximately 27.2%.

Answer:

360 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the exterior angles is 360 for any polygon.

This can be proved for polygon with 20 sides also.

We know that sum of all the angles of polygon is given by formula = (2*n -4) *90

where n is the no. of sides of polygon

for 20 sides polygon sum of  sum of all the angles = (2*20 -4) * 90

= (40-4)*90 = 36*90 = 3240 degree

measure of each angle of polygon = sum of total angles of polygon/ no of sides of polygon = 3240/20 = 162

We also know that sum of interior and exterior angle of triangle is 180 degree, as interior and exterior angle  lies on straight line and they  are supplementary

so

162 + value of exterior angle = 180

=> value of exterior angle = 180 - 162 = 18

Value of one exterior angle is 18 degree

in 20 sided polygon there are 20 exterior angle

therefore, value of 20 exterior angle is 18*20 degree which is 360 degree.

__________________________________________________________

As a general point one can memorize than sum of all the exterior angle for a polygon with any number of side is 360.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in 5 for x so f(5)=4(5)-1 = 20-1 = 19

The solution of expression f (x) = 4x - 1at x = 5 would be 19.

Given that the expression is,

f (x) = 4x - 1

Used the concept of substitution method to solve the expression.

Now, substitute x = 5 in the expression,

f (x) = 4x - 1

f (5) = 4(5) - 1

f (5) = 20 - 1

f (5) = 19

Therefore, the value of the expression is f (5) = 19.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first method is to try out all possible combinations and pick out the best one which has the minimum operations but that would be infeasible method if the no of matrices increases  

so the best method would be using the dynamic programming approach.

A1 = 100 x 50

A2 = 50 x 200

A3 = 200 x 50

A4 = 50 x 10

Table M can be filled using the following formula

Ai(m,n)

Aj(n,k)

M[i,j]=m*n*k

The matrix should be filled diagonally i.e., filled in this order

(1,1),(2,2)(3,3)(4,4)

(2,1)(3,2)(4,3)

(3,1)(4,2)

(4,1)

                 Table M[i, j]                                            

             1                      2                  3                    4

4    250000          200000        100000                0  

3      

750000        500000            0

2      1000000             0

1            

0

Table S can filled this way

Min(m[(Ai*Aj),(Ak)],m[(Ai)(Aj*Ak)])

The matrix which is divided to get the minimum calculation is selected.

Table S[i, j]

           1          2         3        

4

4          1           2         3

3          

1          2

2            1

1

After getting the S table the element which is present in (4,1) is key for dividing.

So the matrix multiplication chain will be (A1 (A2 * A3 * A4))

Now the element in (4,2) is 2 so it is the key for dividing the chain

So the matrix multiplication chain will be (A1 (A2 ( A3 * A4 )))

Min number of multiplications: 250000

Optimal multiplication order: (A1 (A2 ( A3 * A4 )))

to get these calculations perform automatically we can use java

Answer:

from what I understand a 200% increase is tripling the number the increase is on

Answer:

The value of the limit is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Small typing mistake, the limit is of h tending to 0.

We have that:

[tex]f(x) = x^{3}[/tex]

Then

[tex]f(2+h) = (2+h)^{3} = 8 + 12h + 6h^{2} + h^{3}[/tex]

[tex]f(2) = 2^{3} = 8[/tex]

Calling the limit L

[tex]L = \frac{f(2+h) - f(2)}{h}[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{8 + 12h + 6h^{2} + h^{3} - 8}{h}[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{h^{3} + 6h^{2} + 12h}{h}[/tex]

h is the common term in the numerator, then

[tex]L = \frac{h(h^{2} + 6h + 12)}{h}[/tex]

Simplifying by h

[tex]L = h^{2} + 6h + 12[/tex]

Since h tends to 0.

[tex]L = 0^{2} + 6*0 + 12[/tex]

[tex]L = 12[/tex]

So the answer is 12.

Using the definition of a derivative, the expression lim h→0 [f(2+h)-f(2)]/h for f(x)=x^3 simplifies to 12, which is the derivative of the function at x=2.

The limit you are trying to find is representative of the definition of a derivative at a point. In this case, the function is f(x) = x^3 and we're trying to find the derivative at x = 2. This is the definition of the derivative at a point:

lim h→0 [f(x+h) - f(x)] / h

Now, we plug in the equation for f(x):

lim h→0 [(2+h)^3 - 2^3] / h = lim h→0 [8+12h+6h^2+h^3 - 8] / h

Simplify that to get:

lim h→0 h [12+6h+h^2] / h

Then, by cancelling the h's, you have:

lim h→0 [12+6h+h^2]

As h→0, 6h and h^2 become 0, so finally, you obtain 12 as the derivative of f at x=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we must note that the two equations speaks of a single function of y. So

y = 2x - 3 = x² - 3

So from.here we can equate the two together and solve for x.

x² - 3 = 2x - 3, biw convert to a quadratic expression

x² - 2x - 3 + 3 = 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a two tailed alternative hypothesis, it involves the "not equal to symbol,≠ ". This can never be in the null hypothesis.

The curve is symmetrical and the rejection regions would be in the left and right tails

In order to reject the null hypothesis, the test statistic must be smaller than the critical value on the left tail or greater than the critical value on the right tail.

Therefore, the following statements are false

B. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution.

D. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution and when the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the rejection region is split between the two tails of the test statistic's sampling distribution.

Final answer:

Statement d is false because it combines parts of two separate true statements, which could be misleading. A two-tailed test is indicated by a not equals symbol in the alternative hypothesis, and the rejection region is split between the two tails of the test statistic's sampling distribution.

Explanation:

The false statement is d. While it's true that when the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution, statement d is false because it repeats the earlier part of the statement and combines it with a correct statement from option c, which can be misleading. The correct information is provided in separate statements b and c.

The alternative hypothesis indicates the type of test to be conducted. If the alternative hypothesis has a not equals symbol (≠), it indicates a two-tailed test. In a two-tailed test, the rejection region is split between the two tails of the test statistic's sampling distribution. In terms of p-value, it represents the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the results actually observed, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is correct. A small p-value (< 0.05) typically indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, leading to its rejection.

What is the probability you will roll a prime number and spin a prime number

The cube and the spinner are independent of each other. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

25% probability you will roll a prime number and spin a prime number

Answer:

= 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a  cube , we have  numbers labeled 1 - 6

the prime numbers we have is 2 , 3 and 5

The probability of selecting a prime number is

[tex]=\frac{3}{6} \\\\=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now this means the probability of rolling a prime number here is 1/2

Now we calculate the probability of spinning a prime number

Prime numbers here are just 2 and 3

The probability of spinning a prime number is thus 2/4 = 1/2

Thus, the probability of rolling a prime number and spinning a prime number also becomes; 1/2 * 1/2

= 1/4

Final answer:

Equations B (−x = y) and D (6x −3y = 12) represent linear functions because they can be written in the standard linear form y = mx + b, where m and b are constants.

Explanation:

When determining if an equation represents a linear function, we look for the standard form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. In this form, both m and b must be constants, and the equation should not have variables with exponents other than 1. Given the options:

A. y = x2 - This equation is not linear because of the exponent on x.

B. −x = y - This can be represented in linear form as y = −x (or y = −0x + 0), hence it is linear.

C. y = 14x2 + 4 - This equation is not linear due to the exponent on x.

D. 6x −3y = 12 - This can be rewritten in linear form as y = 2x - 4, making it a linear equation.

E. y = −2x2 + 1 - This is not linear for the same reason as options A and C.

The equations that represent linear functions from the given options are B and D.

Answer: 4/10, simplified to 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/10 plus 3/10 plus 2/10 is 6/10

10/10 minus 6/10 is 4/10

4/10 simplified (divide the numerator and the denominator by 2) is 2/5

Final answer:

Terry has covered 3/5 of the distance to home by running, walking, and skipping. Therefore, he still has 2/5 of the distance left to cover.

Explanation:

The question asks how much distance Terry still has to cover to reach home, given the fractions of the journey he has completed by running, walking, and skipping.

Terry ran 1/10 of the distance, walked 3/10 more, and skipped 2/10 more of the distance. To find the total distance covered, we add these fractions together:

To find the distance Terry still has to go, we subtract the fraction of the distance he has covered from the whole distance (1 or 5/5):

Therefore, Terry still has to cover 2/5 of the distance to reach home.

Answer:

The test statistic = 2.51

Step-by-step explanation:

For hypothesis testing, the first thing to define is the null and alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis plays the devil's advocate and usually takes the form of the opposite of the theory to be tested. It usually contains the signs =, ≤ and ≥ depending on the directions of the test.

While, the alternative hypothesis usually confirms the the theory being tested by the experimental setup. It usually contains the signs ≠, < and > depending on the directions of the test.

For this question, Dr. Vegapunk wants to test the claim that watching anime decreases social skills in college students.

So, the null hypothesis would be that there isn't significant evidence to conclude that watching anime decreases social skills in college students. That is, watching anime does not decrease social skills in college students.

And the alternative hypothesis is that there is significant evidence to conclude that watching anime decreases social skills in college students.

If the previous known mean social skills of college students is 6.2 and the new population mean social skills of college students who watch anime is μ,

Mathematically,

The null hypothesis is represented as

H₀: μ ≥ 6.2

The alternative hypothesis is given as

Hₐ: μ < 6.2

To do this test, we will use the t-distribution because no information on the population standard deviation is known

So, we compute the t-test statistic

t = (x - μ)/σₓ

x = sample mean = 7.3

μ₀ = Standard to be compared against = 6.2

σₓ = standard error of sample mean = [σ/√n]

where n = Sample size = 30

σ = Sample standard deviation = 2.4

σₓ = (2.4/√30) = 0.4382

t = (7.3 - 6.2) ÷ 0.4382

t = 2.51
