Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 615

b) 715

c) 344

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given that,  A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 732 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3311 grams with a standard deviation of 860 grams

Since the distribution is approximately bell-shaped, we can use the normal distribution and calculate the Z scores for each scenario.

Z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

Now,

For x = 4171,  Z = (4171 - 3311)/860 = 1  

P(Z < 1) using Z table for areas for the standard normal distribution, you will get 0.8413.

Next, multiply that by the sample size of 732.

Therefore 732(0.8413) = 615.8316, so approximately 615 will weigh less than 4171  

 

For part b, use the same method except x is now 1591.    

Z = (1581 - 3311)/860 = -2    

P(Z > -2) , using the Z table is 1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772 . Now 732(0.9772) = 715.3104, so approximately 715 will weigh more than 1591.

 

For part c, we now need to get two Z scores, one for 3311 and another for 5031.

Z1 = (3311 - 3311)/860 = 0

Z2 = (5031 - 3311)/860= 2  

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = 0.9772 - 0.5000 = 0.4772

  approximately 47% fall between 0 and 1 standard deviation, so take 0.47 times 732 ⇒ 732×0.47 = 344.

If f(x) = 4x and gx) = 2x- 1, what is g(f(-2))?

Answers

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given these following functions:

[tex]f(x) = 4x[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = 2x - 1[/tex]

g(f(-2))

First we find f when x = -2, then we find g for this value(f when x = -2). So

[tex]f(-2) = 4(-2) = -8[/tex]

[tex]g(f(-2)) = g(-8) = 2(-8) - 1 = -16 - 1 = -17[/tex]

Thus -17 is the answer.

discount. There is an extra discount of 10% for students. How much
should a student pay to order a set lunch?

Answers

Find out the total discount percentage that students receive.

20% + 10% = 30%

30/100 x 30 = 9 dollars

30 - 9 = 21 dollars (Final answer)
20% of $30 = $6
30 - 6 = $24
10% of $24 = $2.40
24 - 2.40 = $21.60 cost of student lunch

You have to do each percent separate to get the cost.
If you just take 30% off from the original cost of $30 it will be the wrong answer.

solve the system of equations using substitution or graphing.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I think substitution would be the easiest since you already have one of the variables solved for.

[tex]y=-x^2+4x+5\\y=x+1\\x+1=-x^2+4x+5\\x^2-3x-4=0\\(x-4)(x+1)=0\\x-4=0\\x=4\\x+1=0\\x=-1[/tex]

(You can just set the equations equal to each other since they both equal y).

Now, to get the points, plug in x = 4 and x = -1 into one of the equations (I'm going to plug them into y = x+1 because that one is much simpler)

[tex]y(4)=4+1\\y(4)=5\\y(-1)=-1+1\\y(-1)=0[/tex]

So, your final points are:

(4,5) and (-1,0)

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use substitution to solve this problem. Since we are given y=-x²+4x+5 and y=x+1, we can set them equal to each other.

-x²+4x+5=x+1        [subtract both sides by x]

-x²+3x+5=1            [subtract both sides by 1]

-x²+3x+4=0

Now that we have the equation above, we can factor it to find the roots.

-x²+3x+4=0           [factor out -1]

-1(x²-3x-4)=0         [factor x²-3x-4]

-1(x+1)(x-4)=0

This tells us that x=-1 and x=4.

We can narrow down our answer to A, but let's plug in those values to be sure it is correct.

-(-1)²+4(-1)+5=(-1)+1      [exponent]

-1+4(-1)+5=-1+1              [multiply]

-1-4+5=-1+1                    [add and subtract from left to right]

0=0  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-(4)²+4(4)+5=(4)+1      [exponent]

-16+4(4)+5=4+1           [multiply]

-16+16+5=4+1              [add and subtract from left to right]

5=5

Therefore, we can conclude that A is the correct answer.

Police Chase: A speeder traveling 40 miles per hour (in a 25 mph zone) passes a stopped police car which immediately takes off after the speeder. If the police car speeds up steadily to 55 miles/hour in 10 seconds and then travels at a steady 55 miles/hour, how long and how far before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

Answers

Answer:

a. 18.34 s b. 327.92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How long before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

The acceleration of the car a in 10 s from 0 to 55 mi/h is a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, v = final velocity = 55 mi/h = 55 × 1609 m/3600 s = 24.58 m/s and t = time = 10 s.

So, a =  (v - u)/t =  (24.58 m/s - 0 m/s)/10 s = 24.58 m/s ÷ 10 s = 2.458 m/s².

The distance moved by the police car in 10 s is gotten from

s = ut + 1/2at² where u = initial velocity of police car = 0 m/s, a = acceleration = 2.458 m/s² and t = time = 10 s.

s = 0 m/s × 10 s + 1/2 × 2.458 m/s² (10)²

s = 0 m + 1/2 × 2.458 m/s² × 100 s²

s = 122.9 m

The distance moved when the police car is driving at 55 mi/h is s' = 24.58 t where t = driving time after attaining 55 mi/h

The total distance moved by the police car is thus S = s + s' = 122.9 + 24.58t

The total distance moved by the speeder is S' = 40t' mi = (40 × 1609 m/3600 s)t' =  17.88t' m where t' = time taken for police to catch up with speeder.

Since both distances are the same,

S' = S

17.88t' = 122.9 + 24.58t

Also, the time  taken for the police car to catch up with the speeder, t' = time taken for car to accelerate to 55 mi/h + rest of time taken for police car to catch up with speed, t

t' = 10 + t

So, substituting t' into the equation, we have

17.88t' = 122.9 + 24.58t

17.88(10 + t) = 122.9 + 24.58t

178.8 + 17.88t = 122.9 + 24.58t

17.88t - 24.58t = 122.9 - 178.8

-6.7t = -55.9

t = -55.9/-6.7

t = 8.34 s

So, t' = 10 + t

t' = 10 + 8.34

t' = 18.34 s

So, it will take 18.34 s before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

b. how far before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

Since the distance moved by the police car also equals the distance moved by the speeder, how far the police car will move before he catches the speeder is given by S' = 17.88t' = 17.88 × 18.34 s = 327.92 m

  ∠CAE = arctan(6/20) ≈ 16.7°

Xavier is testing different types of planting soil to determine which type is most effective in growing blueberry bushes. He purchases two different brands of planting soil from a local store. Xavier applies Brand A to an area of the yard that receives full sunlight and Brand B to another area of the yard that is in partial sunlight. He waters the area with Brand B daily; he waters the area with Brand A every other day. At the end of the study, Xavier concludes Brand A is more effective in growing blueberry bushes. Why is his conclusion not valid?

Answers

Answer:

He did not control for lurking variables and their impacts on the results of his experiment. Amount of sunlight and water received are two outside variables(or confounding variables) that may impact the growth of his plants and influence the results. He needs to apply the same amount of sunlight and water to each plant within a different planting soil in order to rule out the influence of those two variables and test the sole effect of the soil brand on the plant growth. Otherwise, it would be hard to determine whether his plant growth was because of the soil brand or the different amounts of sunlight and water received

Answer:

Invalid

Step-by-step explanation:

Xavier did not control variables or the impacts of the results. Confounding variable being sunlight and water received are two outside variables that can impact growth influence results. Within a different planting soil, Xavier will apply the same amount of sunlight & water to each plant to rule out the influence of those two variables. The test for sole effect on the plant with growth otherwise be determine. Is the plant growth because of the soil brand or the different amounts of sunlight and water received? This could and will impaired the results of this experiment, therefore, making it invalid.
