What Is The Value Of A?

Answers

Answer 1
Because the triangles are similar, we can form the proportion 3/4 = 4/a

Cross multiply and solve for 'a'

3/4 = 4/a
3*a = 4*4
3*a = 16
3*a/3 = 16/3
a = 16/3
a = (15+1)/3
a = (15/3)+(1/3)
a = 5+(1/3)

The answer is choice B)

A ship traveled for 4 hours heading east and for 3 hours heading north. If the total distance traveled was 149 miles, and the ship traveled 3 miles per hour faster heading north, at what speed was the ship traveling east?

Answers

just like the previous one

if the ship travelled a total of 149 miles, then let's say it travelled East "d" miles and thus it travelled North the slack of 149 and "d", thus " 149 - d".

now, if the rate travelling East is say "r", then the faster rate going North is " r + 3".

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{lccclll} &distance&rate&time\\ &-----&-----&-----\\ East&d&r&4\\ North&149-d&r+3&3 \end{array} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=4r\\ 149-d=(r+3)3\\ ----------\\ 149-\boxed{4r}=3(r+3) \end{cases}[/tex]

Information about movie ticket sales was printed in a movie magazine. in a sample of of fifty pg-rated movies, 36% had ticket sales in excess of $30,000,000. in a sample of thirty-five r-rated movies, 23% grossed over $30,000,000. suppose that this data is used to test the claim that the proportion of movies with ticket sales in excess of $30,000,000 is the same for pg movies as it is for r-rated movies. what would be the test statistic for this test? z = 1.29 z = 2.07 z = 4.005 z = 2.58

Answers

Let us say that the samples for fifty movies is 1 and samples for thirty five is 2. To solve the test statistic z, we can use the formula:

z = (p1 – p2) / sqrt [p (1 – p) (1 / n1 + 1 / n2)]

Where,

p1 = is the proportion for sample 1 = 0.36

p2 = is the proportion for sample 2 = 0.23

n1 = number of samples = 50

n2 = number of samples = 35

while p can be calculated using the formula:

p = [p1 * n1 / (n1 + n2)] + [p2 * n2 / (n1 + n2)]

p = [0.36 * 50 / (50 + 35)] + [0.23 * 35 / (50 + 35)]

p = 0.211764705 + 0.094705882

p = 0.306470587

Going back for the calculation of z:

z = (0.36 – 0.23) / sqrt [0.306 (1 – 0.306) (1 / 50 + 1 / 35)]

z = 1.279

 

Therefore the nearest answer is:

A teacher has 3 hours to grade all the papers submitted by the 35 students in her class. She gets through the first 5 papers in 30 minutes. How much faster does she have to work to grade the remaining papers in the allotted time?

Answers

At first, she was grading papers at 10 papers per hour. To meet her time limit, she would have to begin grading them at 12 papers per hour, or 20% faster than her previous rate
so, she has 3hrs to grade all papers, for 35 students.. alrite.

the first 5, she does them in 30minutes.. what's the speed rate? well, 5/30 or 1/6

now, she has still 2 hours and a half, or 150 minutes, to do the remaining 30 papers... she has to work at a rate of 30/150 then... which is 1/5 simplified.

now if we take 1/6 as the 100%, what is 1/5 in percentage then?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} rate&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ \frac{1}{6}&100\\\\ \frac{1}{5}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}\cdot \cfrac{5}{1}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{6}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{6\cdot 100}{5}\implies x=120[/tex]

so 1/5 is 120% in relation to 1/6... meaning the rate of 1/5 she needs to move through, namely 1 paper every 5 minutes, is 20% faster than 1/6.

Pediatric asthma survey, n = 50. suppose that asthma affects 1 in 20 children in a population. you take an srs of 50 children from this population. can the normal approximation to the binomial be applied under these conditions? if not, what probability model can be used to describe the sampling variability of the number of asthmatics?

Answers

In this situation, 
n=50, p=1/20, q=(1-p)=19/20, and npq=19/8=2.4

We would like np and npq to be a large number, at least greater than 10.
The normal approximation can always be applied, but the result will be very approximate, depending on the values of np and npq.

Situations are favourable for the normal approximation when p is around 0.5, say between 0.3 and 0.7, and n>30.

"Normal approximation" is using normal probability distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, when n is large (greater than 70) or exceeds the capacity of most hand-held calculators.  The binomial distribution can be used if the following conditions are met:
1. Bernoulli trials, i.e. exactly two possible outcomes.2. Number of trials is known before and constant throughout the experiment, i.e. independent of outcomes.3. All trials are independent of each other.4. Probability of success is known, and remain constant throughout trials.
If all criteria are satisfied, we can model with binomial distribution, where the probability of x successes out of N trials each with probability of success p is given byP(x)=C(N,x)(p^x)(1-p)^(N-x)and,C(N,x) is number of combinations of selecting x objects out of N.
The mean is np, and variance is npq.

For the given situation, np=2.5, npq=2.375, so standard deviation=sqrt(2.375)=1.54.

n=50, p=1/20, q=(1-p)=19/20, and npq=19/eight=2.4

We would like np and npq to be a huge range, at least extra than 10.

The ordinary approximation can usually be carried out, but the result might be very approximate, relying on the values of np and npq.

conditions are favorable for the normal approximation when p is around 0.5, say among 0.3 and 0.7, and n>30.

For the given scenario, np=2.five, npq=2.375, so widespread deviation=sqrt(2.375)=1.54.

the theory states that any distribution becomes normally allotted whilst the variety of variables is satisfactorily massive. for example, the binomial distribution has a tendency to alternate into the regular distribution with suggest and variance.

A taxi cab charges $0.55 per mile in addition to a $1.75 flat rate fee. Susie has $10 to spend on a taxi cab ride. The taxi driver will not give anyone a ride unless they are going somewhere that is more than 2 miles away. Model Susie’s situation with a system of inequalities.

Answers

The taxi driver doesn't give anyone a ride unless it's 2 miles away, as such you need to add at least $0.55x2 in addition to the $1.75 at the start
1.75+(0.55x2)=2.85
As Susie only has 10 dollars to spend, she can't exceed that. So Susie must spend more than $2.85(minimum from the taxi) and less than $10(her money)
so,

James deposits $600 in an account that pays 4% simple interest, and $1200 in a second account which has a higher interest rate but is more risky. What interest rate must he get on the second account in order to earn at least $132 in interest for the year?

Answers

1) $600 deposited at 4% simple interest for one year generates:

$600 * 4% = $600 * 0040 = $24

2) If he wants to earn $132 in interest for the year, he yet needs to generate $132 - $24 = $108 (additional)

3) The interest rate to generate $108 on a deposit of $1200 in a year, at simple interest is:

$1200 * (r) = $108 => r = 108 / 1200 = 0.09 = 9/100 = 9%

Consider a company that selects employees for random drug tests. The company uses a computer to randomly select employee numbers that range from 1 to
6857
6857. Find the probability of selecting a number divisible by 1000. Find the probability of selecting a number that is not divisible by 1000.

Answers

A. 999 numbers under 1000, so prob of picking one is 999/6296 = 0.1587 
B. 6 numbers divisible by 1000, so prob 6/6296 = 0.000953 
C. (6296 - 6)/6296 = 1 - 0.000953 = 0.999047
Final answer:

The probability of selecting a number divisible by 1000 from the range of 1 to 6857 is approximately 0.0008763. The probability of selecting a number that is not divisible by 1000 is approximately 0.9991237.

Explanation:

To find the probability of selecting a number divisible by 1000, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes. There are a total of 6857 possible outcomes since the company selects employee numbers ranging from 1 to 6857. For a number to be divisible by 1000, it must end with three zeros, so we need to find how many numbers satisfy this condition between 1 and 6857.

Since 1000 is the smallest number divisible by 1000, we can calculate the number of favorable outcomes by finding the largest integer that satisfies the condition. In this case, it is 6000. Therefore, there are 6 favorable outcomes.

The probability of selecting a number divisible by 1000 is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:

Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes = 6 / 6857 ≈ 0.0008763.

The probability of selecting a number that is not divisible by 1000 can be calculated as the complement of the probability of selecting a number divisible by 1000:

Probability(not divisible by 1000) = 1 - Probability(divisible by 1000) ≈ 1 - 0.0008763 ≈ 0.9991237.

You have a 20-foot ladder that you are using as you paint your house. You place the ladder so that it forms an angle of 30 at the point of contact between the ladder and the ground. How high will the top of the ladder be above the ground

Answers

First draw out the picture it will help.  Then you can see that you want the opposite segment of the angle, which leads you to use a sine.  So you have 20sin30 or 20(1/2) or 10ft.

Answer:

The Ladder is 10 ft high.

Step-by-step explanation

According to the question we have a 20 ft ladder inclined against a wall at a 30° angle, and are asked to find how high the top of the ladder is from the ground. I have added a visual representation to help you better understand the situation. As you can see we need to solve for x. Since we are given one angle and the hypotenuse we can solve for x using the SIN operator.

[tex]sin(a) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Since we have the angle (a) and the hypotenuse we can just plug the information into the sin equation and solve for the opposite (x).

[tex]sin(30) = \frac{x}{20ft}[/tex]

[tex]sin(30)*20ft = x[/tex]

[tex]0.5*20ft = x[/tex]

[tex]10ft = x[/tex]

So now we can see that the height of the top of the ladder to the ground is 10 ft

Answers

To solve this problem, what we have to do first is to calculate for the volumes of each figure. Let us start from the figure on the left going to the right. Let us call the figures 1 to 4. Formula for volume is:

V = l * w * h

 

Figure 1:

V1 = 4 * 3 * 1 = 12 unit cubes

 

Figure 2:

V2 = 3 * 2 * 3 = 18 unit cubes

 

Figure 3:

V3 = 2 * 2 * 4 = 16 unit cubes

 

Figure 4:

V4 = 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 unit cubes
