Phil is paid £240 per week.
Each week he saves one-quarter of his pay.
B) He is saving for a new bike that costs £349.
How many weeks does it take to save enough to buy the bike?

Answers

Answer 1

Phil would need to save for at least 6 weeks to have enough money to buy the bike.

Phil saves one-quarter of his pay each week, which is:

1/4 x £240 = £60

Let's assume it takes him n weeks to save enough to buy the bike. Then, the amount he saves in n weeks is:

n x £60 = £349

We can solve for n by dividing both sides by £60:

n = £349 / £60

n ≈ 5.82

Since we can't have a fraction of a week, Phil would need to save for 6 weeks to have enough money to buy the bike.

5. Garrett and Jeffrey are planning a treasure hunt. They decide to place a treasure at a point that is a
distance of 5 units from the x-axis and 3 units from the y-axis. Jeffrey places a treasure at point J, and
Garrett places one at point G. Who put the treasure in the right place? Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer:

Garret placed the treasure at the right place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cartesian plane can be used to locate the position of any given point with a coordinate. It consists of two numbered lines perpendicular to each other and intersecting at point zero of the lines.

From the statements given, 5 units from x-axis is not the same as 5 units on x-axis. Also, 3 units from y-axis is not the same as 3 units on y-axis.

So, distance 5 units from x-axis implies that a point 5 units after the x-axis. And also, distance 3 units from y-axis means 3 units after the y-axis.

With these conditions of the coordinate of the treasure, Garrett placed the treasure at the right place.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

height of the pine cone above the ground can be modelled by

[tex]h=-16t^2+40[/tex]

When pine cone reaches the ground [tex]h=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 0=-16t^2+40[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 40=16t^2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{40}{16}}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\frac{\sqrt{40}}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{4}[/tex]

The desired percentage of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed and a sample mean of 5.25 was obtained. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with a sigma of 0.3. Does this indicate conclusively that the true average is smaller than 5.5? Carry the procedure at a 0.01 significance level. Use only the P-Value approach. State H0 and Ha (20 pts)

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide is smaller than 5.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the desired percentage of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5.

16 independently obtained samples are analyzed and a sample mean of 5.25 was obtained. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with a sigma of 0.3.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 5.5     {means that the true average is greater than or equal to 5.5}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 5.5     {means that the true average is smaller than 5.5}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z test statistics as we know about the population standard deviation;

                            T.S. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean percentage of Silicon Dioxide = 5.25

            σ = population standard deviation = 0.3

            n = sample size = 16

So, the test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{5.25-5.5}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{16} } }[/tex]

                                      =  -3.33

The value of z test statistics is -3.33.

Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                P-value = P(Z < -3.33) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 3.33)

                              = 1 - 0.9996 = 0.0004

Since, the P-value of the test statistics is less than the level of significance as 0.0004 < 0.01, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide is smaller than 5.5.

Answer:

The true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) is less than 5.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to test whether the true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in a certain type of aluminous cement is smaller than 5.5.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: The true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) is 5.5, i.e. μ = 5.5.

Hₐ: The true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) is less than 5.5, i.e. μ < 5.5.

The information provided is:

[tex]\bar x=5.25\\\sigma=0.30\\n=16\\\alpha =0.01[/tex]  

As the population standard deviation is provided, we will use a z-test for single mean.

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 [tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{5.25-5.5}{0.30/\sqrt{16}}=-3.33[/tex]

The test statistic value is -3.33.

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Compute the p-value for the two-tailed test as follows:

[tex]p-value=P(Z<-3.33)=0.00043[/tex]  

*Use a z-table for the probability.

The p-value of the test is 0.00043.

p-value = 0.00043 < α = 0.05

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Thus, it can be concluded that the true average percentage of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) is less than 5.5.

Suppose n balls are distributed in n boxes in such a way that each ball chooses a box indepen- dently of each other. (a) What is the probability that Box #1 is empty? (b) What is the probability that only Box #1 is empty? (c) What is the probability that only one box is empty? (d) Given that Box #1 is empty, what is the probability that only one box is empty? (e) Given that only one box is empty, what is the probability that Box #1 is empty?

Answers

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability that Box #1 is empty is computed here as:

= Number of ways to distribute each of the the n balls in remaining (n - 1) boxes / Total ways to distribute n balls into n boxes

= [tex]\frac{(n-1)^n}{n^n} = (1 - \frac{1}{n})^n[/tex]

This is the required probability here.

b) Probability that only 1 box is empty is computed here as:

= Number of ways to choose one of the remaining (n - 1) boxes such that it will have 2 balls * Number of ways to select 2 balls of that box* permutation of remaining (n - 2) balls into (n - 2) boxes / Total ways to distribute n balls into n boxes

= [tex]\frac{\binom{n-1}{1}\binom{n}{2}(n-2)!}{n^n}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(n-1)n!(n-2)!}{2n^n}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{n!(n-1)!}{2n^n}[/tex]

This is the required probability here.

c) Probability that only 1 box is empty is computed here as:

= Number of ways to select a box which would be empty * Probability that only that box would be empty ( from previous part)

= [tex]\frac{n*n!(n-1)!}{2n^n}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(n!)^2}{2n^n}[/tex]

This is the required probability here.

d) Given that box #1 is empty, probability that only 1 box is empty is computed here as:

= Probability that only box 1 is empty / Probability that box 1 is empty

We will use the answers from parts a) and b) here to get:

=[tex]\frac{ \frac{n!(n-1)!}{2n^n}}{\frac{(1 - n)^n}{n^n}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{n!(n-1)!}{2(1-n)^n}[/tex]

This is the required probability here.

e) Given that only 1 box is empty, probability that box #1 is empty is computed here as:

= 1/n as each box is equally likelt to be empty

Therefore 1/n is the required probability here.

A farmer is having problems with birds eating her crops. She tries putting up different numbers of scarecrows to keep the birds away. The average number of crops eaten is 200, and the average number of scarecrows she has put up is 20.
The farmer finds some of the linear regression equation:
number of crops eaten = a - 0.8*(number of scarecrows).
What is the value of the intercept?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the intercept is a=216.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define "s" as the number of scarecrows and "C" the number of crops eaten.

The farmer finds the linear regression equation:

[tex]C=a-0.8s[/tex]

We have a linear function, for which we only know the slope (m=0.8) and a point within it (when s=20, C=200).

We can find a replacing the variables C asn s with the known point (20, 200):

[tex]C=a-0.8s\\\\C(20)=a-0.8(20)=200\\\\a=200+0.8*20=200+16\\\\a=216[/tex]

The value of the intercept is a=216.

A has a frequency of 26.

That would be 26/100, which is also 13/50

A 100 gallon tank initially contains 100 gallons of sugar water at a concentration of 0.25 pounds of sugar per gallon suppose that sugar is added to the tank at a rate of p pounds per minute that sugar water is removed at a rate of 1 gallon per minute and that water in the tank is kept well mixed. What value of P should we pick so that that when 5 gallons of sugar solution is left in the tank the concentration is .5lbs of sugar/gallon?

Answers

At the start, the tank contains

(0.25 lb/gal) * (100 gal) = 25 lb

of sugar. Let [tex]S(t)[/tex] be the amount of sugar in the tank at time [tex]t[/tex]. Then [tex]S(0)=25[/tex].

Sugar is added to the tank at a rate of P lb/min, and removed at a rate of

[tex]\left(1\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)\left(\dfrac{S(t)}{100}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right)=\dfrac{S(t)}{100}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm min}[/tex]

and so the amount of sugar in the tank changes at a net rate according to the separable differential equation,

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{\mathrm dt}=P-\dfrac S{100}[/tex]

Separate variables, integrate, and solve for S.

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{P-\frac S{100}}=\mathrm dt[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\int\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{P-\frac S{100}}=\int\mathrm dt[/tex]

[tex]-100\ln\left|P-\dfrac S{100}\right|=t+C[/tex]

[tex]\ln\left|P-\dfrac S{100}\right|=-100t-100C=C-100t[/tex]

[tex]P-\dfrac S{100}=e^{C-100t}=e^Ce^{-100t}=Ce^{-100t}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac S{100}=P-Ce^{-100t}[/tex]

[tex]S(t)=100P-100Ce^{-100t}=100P-Ce^{-100t}[/tex]

Use the initial value to solve for C :

[tex]S(0)=25\implies 25=100P-C\implies C=100P-25[/tex]

[tex]\implies S(t)=100P-(100P-25)e^{-100t}[/tex]

The solution is being drained at a constant rate of 1 gal/min; there will be 5 gal of solution remaining after time

[tex]1000\,\mathrm{gal}+\left(-1\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)t=5\,\mathrm{gal}\implies t=995\,\mathrm{min}[/tex]

has passed. At this time, we want the tank to contain

(0.5 lb/gal) * (5 gal) = 2.5 lb

of sugar, so we pick P such that

[tex]S(995)=100P-(100P-25)e^{-99,500}=2.5\implies\boxed{P\approx0.025}[/tex]

Portraits: More Than Meets the EyeMany people hesitate to enjoy art because they think they dont get the paintings that hang in museums. In order to get art, you should have an understanding of artists conventions--meaning how artists tell stories and make comments through their images. Artists enjoy telling stories through their work. Similar to the way you would analyze an essay, you can appreciate a painting by noticing the details artists include.A portrait is a representation of a person that usually shows the persons face. While portraits seem to show only appearances, they actually offer much more. They tell stories about their subjects. The definition of the word portrait is a display of a persons appearance and personality. How can you learn anything about personality from a portrait? For one thing, the individual is not the only thing in the portrait that deserves your attention.Portraits provide many visual clues aside from the individual. Notice the props that surround the person: A person holding a baby is supposed to seem nurturing; a soldier holding a gun is supposed to look commanding; an old gentleman surveying his neglected farmland tells a story about the feelings of growing older. Think about the expression on the subjects face: Is this person bored, elated, or melancholy? The subjects expression reflects more than his or her mood on one random day. The artist chose to freeze this person in a particular expression in order to convey a message.Portrait creation has been popular for many years. In ancient cultures, artists created portraits that reflected peoples' status. Some artists created portraits of the same people at different times throughout their lives to show progression. Portrait trends change all the time. Early Romans represented subjects as accurately as possible, even if that meant showing imperfections. Portraits created later tended to highlight the positive aspects of the subject. Many believe that artists create portraits of only historically important people. Though icons are often the subjects of portraits, the most well-known portrait in the world is probably Leonardo da Vincis Mona Lisa, which illustrates an unidentified woman revealing a secret smile.Portraits dont have to be in the form of paintings. They can also come in the form of photographs or sculptures. Today, most portraits are photographs, but these portraits havent lost the ability to tell stories about the people in them. Think about bridal portraitsthe white dress, the bouquet, the excited smile: These are all details that suggest ideas about the person in the portrait. Even your annual school photo is a portrait. Does the background of your picture look like a wall of books? This signifies your years of learning.
