Alex wants to sew a pillow in the shape below. How many square yards of fabric are needed to sew the pillow? Fabric is only sold in increments of ¼ yard.
Answers
The shape is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
2.6
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image attached, the diameter of the inner semi - circle is 0.5 yards while the length of each side of the pillow is 0.2 yards.
Thus, for us to find the length of the seam which is along the edges of the pillow, we will calculate the perimeter of the outer semicircle, then add the perimeter of the inner semicircle and also add the sides too.
Now, due to the fact that the length of the sides of the pillow are 0.2 yards each, the diameter of the outer circle would be;
0.5 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.9 yards. So, the perimeter of the outer semicircle is,
P0 = πd/2 = π × 0.9/2 =0.45π yds
The perimeter of the inner semicircle would be given as;
PI = πd/2 = π × 0.5/2 =0.25π yds.
Thus, we can calculate the total perimeter of the pillow as;
PT = P0 + PI + 0.2 + 0.2
PT = 0.45π + 0.25π + 0.2 + 0.2
PT ≈ 2.6 yards
Alex will need 2.6 yds
Answer:
0.5

A potato chip company makes potato chips in two flavors, Regular and Salt & Vinegar. Riley is a production manager for the company who is trying to ensure that each bag contains about the same number of chips, regardless of flavor. He collects two random samples of 10 bags of chips of each flavor and counts the number of chips in each bag. Assume that the population variances of the number of chips per bag for both flavors are equal and that the number of chips per bag for both flavors are normally distributed. Let the Regular chips be the first sample, and let the Salt & Vinegar chips be the second sample. Riley conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance, to test if there is evidence that both flavors have the same number of chips in each bag. (a) H0:μ1=μ2; Ha:μ1≠μ2, which is a two-tailed test. (b) t≈1.44 , p-value is approximately 0.167 (c) Which of the following are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test?
A. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.B. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.C. Reject H0.D. Fail to reject H0.
Answers
Answer:
A. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.
D. Fail to reject H0.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the summary of the given test statistics.
The null and the alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0:\mu_1=\mu_2 \\ \\ Ha:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2[/tex]
This test is also a two tailed test.
Similarly, the t value for the test statistics = 1.44
The p- value - 0.167
The level of significance ∝ = 0.05
The objective we are meant to achieve here is to determine which of the following from the given options are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test.
From what we have above:
Decision Rule: We fail to reject the null hypothesis since the p-value is greater than the level of significance at 0.05
CONCLUSION: Therefore, we can conclude that there is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag as we fail to reject H0.

What is the area of a parallelogram if the coordinates of its vertices are (0, -2), (3,2), (8,2), and (5, -2)?
Answers
Answer: 20 sq. units .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A(0, -2), B(3,2), C(8,2), and D(5, -2) are the points for the parallelogram.
First we plot these points on coordinate plane, we get parallelogram ABCD.
By comparing the y-coordinate of B and C with A and D , we get
height = 2+2 = 4 units
Also by comparing the x coordinates of A and D, we get base = 5-0= 5 units
Area of parallelogram = Base x height
= 5 x 4 = 20 sq. units
Hence, the area of a parallelogram ABCD is 20 sq. units .

The average daily volume of a computer stock in 2011 was ų=35.1 million shares, according to a reliable source. A stock analyst believes that the stock volume in 2014 is different from the 2011 level. Based on a random sample of 30 trading days in 2014, he finds the sample mean to be 32.7 million shares, with a standard deviation of s=14.6 million shares. Test the hypothesis by constructing a 95% confidence interval. Complete a and b A. State the hypothesis B. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the sample mean of stocks traded in 2014.
Answers
Answer:
a
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 35 .1 \ million \ shares[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 35.1\ million \ shares[/tex]
b
The 95% confidence interval is [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question the we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 35.1 \ million \ shares[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 32.7 \ million\ shares[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14.6 \ million\ shares[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is [tex]95\%[/tex] then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100-95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table
The value is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 14.6 }{\sqrt{30} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 5.225[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]32.7 - 5.225 < \mu < 32.7 + 5.225[/tex]
[tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

Select each definition, postulate, or theorem you will use. A)definition of segment bisector B)definition of midpoint C)Linear Pair Theorem D)Segment Addition Postulate The solution is x =?
Answers
Answer:
Option (D)
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since point E is in the mid of the segment DF,
Therefore, by the Segment addition postulate,
DF = DE + EF
Since DF = (8x - 3), DE = (x - 3) and EF = (6x + 5)
By substituting these values in the given postulate,
(8x - 3) = (x - 3) + (6x + 5)
8x - 3 = (x + 6x) + (5 - 3)
8x - 3 = 7x + 2
8x - 7x = 3 + 2
x = 5
Therefore, x = 5 will be the answer.

In triangle ABC, ∠ABC=70° and ∠ACB=50°. Points M and N lie on sides AB and AC respectively such that ∠MCB=40° and ∠NBC=50°. Find m∠NMC.
Answers
Answer:
∠NMC = 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
The interpretation of the information given in the question can be seen in the attached images below.
In ΔABC;
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠ A + 70° + 50° = 180°
∠ A = 180° - 70° - 50°
∠ A = 180° - 120°
∠ A = 60°
In ΔAMN ; the base angle are equal , let the base angles be x and y
So; x = y (base angle of an equilateral triangle)
Then;
x + x + 60° = 180°
2x + 60° = 180°
2x = 180° - 60°
2x = 120°
x = 120°/2
x = 60°
∴ x = 60° , y = 60°
In ΔBQC
∠a + ∠e + ∠b = 180°
50° + ∠e + 40° = 180°
∠e = 180° - 50° - 40°
∠e = 180° - 90°
∠e = 90°
At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90° (angles at a point)
∠i = 50° - 40° = 10°
In ΔNQC
∠f + ∠i + ∠j = 180°
90° + 10° + ∠j = 180°
∠j = 180° - 90°-10°
∠j = 180° - 100°
∠j = 80°
From line AC , at point N , ∠y + ∠c + ∠j = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line)
60° + ∠c + ∠80° = 180°
∠c = 180° - 60°-80°
∠c = 180° - 140°
∠c = 40°
Recall that :
At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90° (angles at a point)
Then In Δ NMC ;
∠d + ∠h + ∠c = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠d + 90° + 40° = 180°
∠d = 180° - 90° -40°
∠d = 180° - 130°
∠d = 50°
Therefore, ∠NMC = ∠d = 50°

Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a projectile is fired vertically upward from a height of 300 feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 900 ft/s.
The general equation with which a projectile are modled by the function is given by :
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+v_ot+y_o[/tex]
y₀ is the initial height above the ground
v₀ = initial velocity
So,
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+900t+300[/tex]
This is the quadratic equation that models the projectile height in feet above the ground after t seconds.

A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n, it can sell and the price, p, it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $30, while 3,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $10. Find a linear equation in the form p(n)=mn+b that gives the price p they can charge for n shirts.
Answers
Answer:
p(n) = -1/100 n 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the two points (n, p): (1000, 30) and (3000, 10).
Now we find the equation of the line that passes through these two points.
m = (10 - 30)/(3000 - 1000)
m = -20/2000
m = -1/100
p(n) = mn + b
30 = -1/100 * 1000 + b
30 = -10 + b
b = 40
The equation is:
p(n) = -1/100 n 40

what number has 7 ten thousands, 1 thousand, 1 hundred, and no ones?
Answers
Answer:
[tex]71,100[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are trying to find a number that is written in word form, we can just use place values to find what goes where.
A number is broken down into this:
Ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones.
If they have 7 ten thousands, the first digit will be a 7.
If they have 1 thousand, the second digit will be a 1.
If they have 1 hundred, the third digit will be a 1.
Since nothing is stated about tens, we assume it's value is 0.
And since there are no ones, it's value is 0.
So:
71,100.

a. 804
b. 844
c. 884
d. 0.36
Answers
Answer:
A. 804Step-by-step explanation:
Given the total number of students in the school to be 2229 students. If among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level, then we can determine the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample scores using ratio.
Let the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level be x. The ratio of the students with math score below grade level to total population will be x:2229
Also, the ratio of the sample students with math score below grade level to sample population will be 163:452
On equating both ratios, we will have;
x:2229 = 163:452
[tex]\dfrac{x}{2229} = \dfrac{163}{452}\\ \\cross\ multiplying;\\\\\\452*x = 2229*163\\\\x = \dfrac{2229*163}{452}\\ \\x = \frac{363,327}{452}\\ \\x = 803.8\\\\x \approx 804[/tex]
Hence the estimate of the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample is 804

Given below are descriptions of two lines. Line 1: Goes through (-2,10) and (1,1) Line 2: Goes through (-2,8) and (2,-4)
Answers
Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1). If two lines have the same slope, lines are defined as parallel.
m₁ = m₂
2). If the multiplication of the slopes of two lines is (-1), lines will be perpendicular.
m₁ × m₂ = (-1)
Line 1 : It passes through two points (-2, 10) and (1, 1).
Slope of the line 1 = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1+2}{10-1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{9}[/tex]
m₁ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Line 2 : It passes through two points (-2, 8) and (2, -4).
Slope of the line 2 = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{8+4}{-2-2}[/tex]
= [tex]-\frac{12}{4}[/tex]
m₂ = -3
Since, m₁ × m₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times (-3)[/tex]
= (-1)
Therefore, given lines are perpendicular to each other.
Option (2) is the correct option.

Required
Determine its equivalent
From the list of given options, the correct answer is
[tex]x - \frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
This is shown as follows;
[tex]y = \frac{2}{5}x - 5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{2} * y = \frac{5}{2} * (\frac{2}{5}x - 5)[/tex]
Open Bracket
[tex]\frac{5}{2} * y = \frac{5}{2} * \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{2} *5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{2}y = x - \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Subtract x from both sides
[tex]\frac{5}{2}y - x = x -x - \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{2}y - x = - \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -1
[tex]-1 * \frac{5}{2}y - x * -1 = - \frac{25}{2} * -1[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{5}{2}y + x = \frac{25}{2}[/tex]

Determine the number of bags to cover the whole garden
This is calculated as thus;
[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+18x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]
Expand the numerator
[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+9x+9x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]
[tex]Bags = \frac{x(x+9)+9(x+9)}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

Express 81 as 9²
[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{x^2 - 9\²}[/tex]
Evaluate as difference of two squares
[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{(x - 9)(x+9)}[/tex]

HTH = 1/8 = 2 heads
HTT = 1/8 = 1 head
THH = 1/8 = 2 heads
THT = 1/8 = 1 head
TTH = 1/8 = 1 head
TTT = 1/8 = 0 head
So the probability of 3 heads is 1/8 and the amount is (1/8)* 0.14 = $0.0175
Probability of 2 heads is 3/8 and the amount is (3/8) * 0.06 = $0.0225
Probability of 1 head is 3/8 and amount is (3/8) * 0.01 = $0.00375
Total expected amount = 0.00375 + 0.0225 + 0.0175
Total expected amount = $0.04375
Bob cycles 5.4 km every morning.how many feet are in 5.4 km, given that 1 mile=1.609 km and 1 mile=5,280 feet?
Answers
Answer:
17,720 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
5.4 km * (1 mile)/(1.609 km) * (5280 ft)/(1 mile) = 17,720 ft
A soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while 1% is not within specification. Every hour, 12 random bottles are taken from the assembly line and tested. If 2 or more bottles in the sample are not within specification, the assembly line is shut down for recalibration. What is the probability that the assembly line will be shut down, given that it is actually calibrated correctly? Use Excel to find the probability. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:
The probability that the assembly line will be shut down is 0.00617.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while 1% is not within specification.
Every hour, 12 random bottles are taken from the assembly line and tested. If 2 or more bottles in the sample are not within specification, the assembly line is shut down for recalibration.
Let X = Number of bottles in the sample that are not within specification.
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;
[tex]P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r}\times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,.....[/tex]
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 12 bottles
x = number of success = 2 or more bottles
p = probabilitiy of success which in our question is probability that
bottles are not within specification, i.e. p = 0.01
So, X ~ Binom (n = 12, p = 0.01)
Now, the probability that the assembly line will be shut down is given by = P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 2)
P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)
= [tex]1-\binom{12}{0} \times 0.01^{0}\times (1-0.01)^{12-0}-\binom{12}{1} \times 0.01^{1}\times (1-0.01)^{12-1}[/tex]
= [tex]1-(1 \times 1\times 0.99^{12})-(12 \times 0.01^{1}\times 0.99^{11})[/tex]
= 0.00617
