Answer:
The probability that at least 7 employees were over 50 is 0.0073%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a town recently dismissed 8 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions, and the town had 9 employees over 50 years of age and 16 under 50, if the dismissed employees were selected at random, to determine what is the probability that at least 7 employees were over 50, the following calculation must be performed:
9/25 x 8/24 x 7/23 x 6/22 x 5/21 x 4/20 x 3/19 = X
0.36 x 0.33 x 0.304 x 0.272 x 0.238 x 0.2 x 0.157 = X
0.000073 = X
100X = 0.0073
Therefore, the probability that at least 7 employees were over 50 is 0.0073%.
Kenji simplifies 3^5 x 4^ 5and gets the result 12^10, but Darlene is not sure. Is Kenji correct? Justify your answer.
That's a question about exponentiation.
Answer:
Kenji is wrong because he does not aply the porperty correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
A exponetiation has this form:
[tex]\boxed{a^b}[/tex]
a is the base
b is the power or exponent
To understand that situation it's important to know a property about exponentiation. When we have a multiplication with the same exponent and diferent bases, the result is the multiplication of the bases with the same exponent. Let's see this above, in mathematical language:
[tex]\boxed{a^b \cdot c^b = (a\cdot c) ^b}[/tex]
Examples:
[tex]2^3 \cdot 8^3 = (2 \cdot 8) ^3 = 16^3[/tex][tex]10^9 \cdot 23^9 = (10 \cdot 23) ^9 = 230^9[/tex]Now, we can say why Kenji is wrong. It's easy simplify [tex]3^5 \cdot 4^5[/tex]! We know that the result is [tex](3 \cdot 4) ^5 = 12^5[/tex], but Kenji multiplied the bases and added the exponents, that's why he is wrong.
I hope I've helped. ^^

Let $f$ be a linear function for which $f(6)-f(2)=12$. What is $f(12)-f(2)?$ Please explain how you found your answer. Thank you!
========================================================
Explanation:
Since f(x) is linear, this means f(x) = mx+b
m = slopeb = y interceptLet's plug in x = 6
[tex]f(x) = mx+b\\f(6) = m*6+b\\f(6) = 6m+b[/tex]
Repeat for x = 2
[tex]f(x) = mx+b\\f(2) = m*2+b\\f(2) = 2m+b[/tex]
Now subtract the two function outputs
[tex]f(6)-f(2) = (6m+b)-(2m+b)\\f(6)-f(2) = 6m+b-2m-b\\f(6)-f(2) = 4m\\[/tex]
The b terms cancel out which is very handy.
Set this equal to 12, since f(6)-f(2) = 12, and solve for m
[tex]f(6)-f(2) = 12\\4m = 12\\m = 12/4\\m = 3\\[/tex]
So the slope of f(x) is m = 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, plug in x = 12
[tex]f(x) = mx+b\\f(12) = m*12+b\\f(12) = 12m+b[/tex]
We can then say:
[tex]f(12)-f(2) = (12m+b)-(2m+b)\\f(12)-f(2) = 12m+b-2m-b\\f(12)-f(2) = 10m\\[/tex]
Lastly, we plug in m = 3
[tex]f(12)-f(2) = 10m\\f(12)-f(2) = 10*3\\f(12)-f(2) = 30\\[/tex]
Each side of a square is increasing at a rate of 8 cm/s. At what rate (in cm2/s) is the area of the square increasing when the area of the square is 49 cm2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is nice and simple. I'm going to walk through it like I do when teaching this concept to my class for the first time. This is a good problem for that.
We are given a square and we are looking for the rate at which the area is increasing when a certain set of specifics are given. That means that the main equation for this problem is the area of a square, which is:
[tex]A=s^2[/tex] where s is a side.
Since we are looking for the rate at which the area is changing, [tex]\frac{dA}{dt}[/tex], we need to take the derivative of area formula implicitly:
[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=2s\frac{ds}{dt}[/tex] that means that if [tex]\frac{dA}{dt}[/tex] is our unknown, we need values for everything else. We are given that the initial area for the square is 49. That will help us determine what the "s" in our derivative is. We plug in 49 for A and solve:
[tex]49=s^2[/tex] so
s = 7
We are also given at the start that the sides of this square are increasing at a rate of 8cm/s. That is [tex]\frac{ds}{dt}[/tex]. Filling it all in:
[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=2(7)(8)[/tex] and
[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=112\frac{cm^2}{s}[/tex]
The surface area of a square of side L is given by
[tex]A = L^2[/tex]
The rate of change of the area per unit time is
[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 2L\dfrac{dL}{dt}[/tex]
We can express the length L on the right hand side in terms of the area A [tex](L = \sqrt{A})[/tex]:
[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 2\sqrt{A}\dfrac{dL}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=2(\sqrt{49\:\text{cm}^2})(8\:\text{cm/s})[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=112\:\text{cm}^2\text{/s}[/tex]
Scores on the SAT are approximately normally distributed. One year, the average score on the Math SAT was 500 and the standard deviation was 120. What was the score of a person who did better than 85% of all the test-takers
Answer:
The score of a person who did better than 85% of all the test-takers was of 624.44.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
One year, the average score on the Math SAT was 500 and the standard deviation was 120.
This means that [tex]\mu = 500, \sigma = 120[/tex]
What was the score of a person who did better than 85% of all the test-takers?
The 85th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.85, so X when Z = 1.037.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.037 = \frac{X - 500}{120}[/tex]
[tex]X - 500 = 1.037*120[/tex]
[tex]X = 624.44[/tex]
The score of a person who did better than 85% of all the test-takers was of 624.44.

A human resources office is working to implement an increase in starting salaries for new
administrative secretaries and faculty at a community college. An administrative secretary
starts at $28,000 and new faculty receive $40,000. The college would like to determine the
percentage increase to allocate to each group, given that the college will be hiring 8
secretaries and 7 faculty in the upcoming academic year. The college has at most $5,000 to
put towards raises. What should the percentage increase be for each group?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation :
Let % increase in administrative secretary be = x
Let % increase in new faculty receive be = y
Administrative secretary salary = 28,000
New faculty receive Salary = 40,000
(8)*(x/100)* (28000) + (7)*(y/100)*(40000) = 5,000
2240x +2800 y = 5,000
224x +280 y = 500
56x +70y = 125
Therefore, x and y should be chosen such that it satisfy the above equation.

Step-by-step explanation:
Based on a poll, among adults who regret getting tattoos, 24% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that six adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected, and find the indicated probability.
a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
Answer:
a) 0.1927 = 19.27% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
b) 0.3651 = 36.51% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
c) 0.5578 = 55.78% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say they were too young to get tattoos, or they do not say this. The probability of a person saying this is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
24% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos.
This means that [tex]p = 0.24[/tex]
Six adults
This means that [tex]n = 6[/tex]
a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
This is P(X = 0). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.24)^{0}.(0.76)^{6} = 0.1927[/tex]
0.1927 = 19.27% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
This is P(X = 1). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.24)^{1}.(0.76)^{5} = 0.3651[/tex]
0.3651 = 36.51% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
This is:
[tex]p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1927 + 0.3651 = 0.5578[/tex]
0.5578 = 55.78% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

Answer:
See answers below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following functions:
r(x) = x - 6
s(x) = 2x²
r(s(x)) = r(2x²)
Replacing x with 2x² in r(x) will give;
r(2x²) = 2x² - 6
r(s(x)) = 2x² - 6
(r-s)(x) = r(x) - s(x)
(r-s)(x) = x - 6 - 2x²
Rearrange
(r-s)(x) = - 2x²+x-6
(r+s)(x) = r(x) + s(x)
(r-s)(x) = x - 6 + 2x²
Rearrange
(r-s)(x) = 2x²+x-6

Consider the function z(x,y) describing the paraboloid \[z = (2x - y)^2 - 2y^2 - 3y.\]Archimedes and Brahmagupta are playing a game. Archimedes first chooses $x.$ Afterwards, Brahmagupta chooses $y.$ Archimedes wishes to minimize $z$ while Brahmagupta wishes to maximize $z.$ Assuming that Brahmagupta will play optimally, what value of $x$ should Archimedes choose?
Answer: -3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Expanding z we get
z = 4x^2 - 4xy + y^2 - 2y^2 - 3y
= -y^2 - (4x + 3) y + 4x^2.
After Archimedes chooses x, Brahmagupta will choose
y=-(4x+3/2) in order to maximize z
Then
z=-((-4x+3)/2)^2 -(4x+3)(-4x+3)/2)^2)+4x^2
z=8x^2+6x+9/4
To minimize this expression, Archimedes should choose x=-3/8
