A bicycle shop owner offers five styles of mountain bikes for $450, $275, $675, $490, and $300. He wants to increase the mean price but keep the median price and range of prices the same. Suggest a new set of prices for the five styles

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

275, 350, 450, 550, 675

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange in order

275, 300, 450, 490, 675

range 275 to 675

median 450

mean 438

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

Raise 300 to 350

Raise 490 to 550

New set of prices

275, 350, 450, 550, 675

range 275 to 675     same

median 450     same

mean 460    increased

Answer 2

Answer:

One set of prices could be: {275,300,450,600,675}

Another set could be: {275,300,450,600,675}

There are many other solutions possible.

====================================================

Explanation:

A = {450, 275, 675, 490, 300}

B = {275, 300, 450, 490, 675}

Set A is the original set of values in the order they were given to you. Set B is the sorted version of set A from smallest to largest.

The mean is found by adding up the values and dividing by 5 (because there are five items in the set).

The mean is (275+300+450+490+675)/5 = 2190/5 = 438. The shopkeeper wants to increase the mean to something larger, but keep the median and range the same.

The median is the middle most number. In set B, we can see that is 450. So the median is 450. We want to keep the median the same at 450.

The range is the difference in min and max

range = max - min = 675-275 = 400

We want to keep the range at 400

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

There are a number of ways to increase the mean, while keeping the median and range the same.

Let's say we keep the min and max the same. In order to increase the mean, we need to increase the 490 (second largest value) to something larger. Let's bump that up to 600 for instance.

Recomputing the mean gets us

(275+300+450+600+675)/5 = 2300/5 = 460

The old mean was 438 and the new mean is now 460. The mean has increased. This is due to the larger price pulling on the mean to get the mean to increase.

The median is still 450 because it's still in the direct middle of set C

C = {275,300,450,600,675}

The range is still the same as well because we haven't changed the min and max.

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

So one possible set could be

C = {275,300,450,600,675}

We could also have

D = {275,400,450,500,675}

The difference is that the 300 bumped to 400, and the 600 dropped to 500. You should find that the median and range are the same, while the mean is 460.

There are many possible solutions here.

Chad has a rope that is 15 yards long. How many pieces of rope measuring 5/7 of a yard can he divide his rope into?
A. 28
B. 21
C. 35
D. 14

Answers

Answer:

Chad can divide his rope in 21 pieces. (Answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we divide.

15 divided by 5/7 is what we need to know.

When dividing fractions it is the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal (flipped version of the fraction).

[tex]15[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] = 15 × [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{1}[/tex]  × [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{105}{5}[/tex]

F=(2xy +z³)i + x³j + 3xz²k find a scalar potential and work done in moving an object in the field from (1,-2,1) to (3,1,4)​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\textbf{F} = (2xy + z^3)\hat{\textbf{i}} + x^3\hat{\textbf{j}} + 3xz^2\hat{\textbf{k}}[/tex]

This field will have a scalar potential [tex]\varphi[/tex] if it satisfies the condition [tex]\nabla \times \textbf{F}=0[/tex]. While the first x- and y- components of [tex]\nabla \times \textbf{F}[/tex] are satisfied, the z-component doesn't.

[tex](\nabla \times \textbf{F})_z = \left(\dfrac{\partial F_y}{\partial x} - \dfrac{\partial F_x}{\partial y} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: = 3x^2 - 2x \ne 0[/tex]

Therefore the field is nonconservative so it has no scalar potential. We can still calculate the work done by defining the position vector [tex]\vec{\textbf{r}}[/tex] as

[tex]\vec{\textbf{r}} = x \hat{\textbf{i}} + y \hat{\textbf{j}} + z \hat{\textbf{k}}[/tex]

and its differential is

[tex]\textbf{d} \vec{\textbf{r}} = dx \hat{\textbf{i}} + dy \hat{\textbf{j}} + dz \hat{\textbf{k}}[/tex]

The work done then is given by

[tex]\displaystyle \oint_c \vec{\textbf{F}} • \textbf{d} \vec{\textbf{r}} = \int ((2xy + z^3)\hat{\textbf{i}} + x^3\hat{\textbf{j}} + 3xz^2\hat{\textbf{k}}) • (dx \hat{\textbf{i}} + dy \hat{\textbf{j}} + dz \hat{\textbf{k}})[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle = (x^2y + xz^3) + x^3y + xz^3|_{(1, -2, 1)}^{(3, 1, 4)}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]y = 0.42x+55[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

[tex]x \to miles[/tex]

[tex]y \to amount[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (138,112.96)[/tex] ---- Bobs'

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (209,142.78)[/tex] --- Carl

Required

The equation

First, calculate the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{142.78 - 112.96}{209 - 138}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{29.82}{71}[/tex]

[tex]m = 0.42[/tex]

The equation is calculated using:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = 0.42(x - 138) + 112.96[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.42x - 57.96 + 112.96[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.42x+55[/tex]

Charlene is a video game designer and wants to make sure that her games can be played on all types of screens. In order for the games to work on both devices with a standard aspect ratio and those with widescreen aspect ratios, the playable area of the games should have an aspect ratio of 3:2. This means that the width is equal to times the height. On one type of tablet, the playable area of the game on the screen is 54 square inches. Write and solve a system of equations to determine the dimensions of the playable area. A. The playable area has a width of 13.5 inches and a height of 9 inches. B. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches. C. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Answers

Answer:

The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways you can get there.

1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.

A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²

B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio

C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — matches problem statement

D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²

2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.

3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.

w/h = 3/2

wh = 54

Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives

... (3/2)h·h = 54

... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3

... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches

Answer:

D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the playable area is 54 and that such ratio of dimensions is 3:2

Then we are basically being asked to find the factor of ratios below that also multiply to get 54

54 = 9 x 6 and this is also a ratio of 3:2

As 3(3 + 2) = 54

and as width was asked first when ratio was given 3:2

The width therefore is 9 and the height is 6

So answer is D

What is the rate of change of y with respect to x?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] -\frac{9}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change of x and y can be calculated using the following formula and using any two given pair of values from the table:

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]

Using (-12, 60) and (-6, 33).

Where,

[tex] (-12, 60) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] (-6, 33) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Plug is the values

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{33 - 60}{-6 -(-12)} [/tex]

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{-27}{6} [/tex]

Simplify

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{-9}{2} [/tex]

Rate of change = [tex] -\frac{9}{2} [/tex]
