Megan’s room is expanded so the width is 150% of 3 meters. What is the new width?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 4.5 meters

Work Shown:

The keyword "of" means "multiply".

150% = 150/100 = 1.5

150% of 3 = 1.5*3 = 4.5

Answer 2

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

100% = 3 meters

150% = 4.5 meters

The new width is 4.5 meters.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

Megan’s room is expanded so the width is 150% of 3 meters.

This means,

100% = 3 meters

Multiply 150/100 on both sides.

150% = 150/100 x 3

150% = 4.5 meters

Thus,

The new width is 4.5 meters.

The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 99 yards per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?

Answers

Question options :

A. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim

u < 99.

B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim

u < 99.

C. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim

u < 99.

D. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim

u< 99.

Answer:

B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim

u < 99.

Step-by-step explanation:

We construct the n*ll and alternative hypotheses to support our claim

The n*ll hypothesis :H0

The alternative hypothesis : Ha

N*ll hypothesis =H0: u=99

Alternative hypothesis =Ha: u<99

So if n*ll hypothesis (H0) u=99 is rejected, then we accept the alternative hypothesis that u<99

we can therefore have sufficient evidence to support our claim that u<99

Techwiz electronics makes a profit of $35 for each mp3 and $18 for each DVD last week techwiz sold a combined total of 118 mp3 and DVD players. Let x be the number of mp3 sold last week write an expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) made last week

Answers

Answer:

The total   profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The profit made on each mp3 is  k  =  $35

    The profit made on each mp3 is  y =  $18

     The total amount sold is   n  =  118

 Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of  DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as

                      [tex]n - x[/tex]

Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is  

                      [tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]

And the the profit made from the n-x number of  DVD  sold is  18 (n-x ) =  18 - 18x

 So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD  is  

                   [tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]

                    [tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]

                    [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]

As per the scenario, It is stratified random sampling as it divides students into strata which represent Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors.

Simple random samples of the given sizes of the proportional to the size of the stratum which is to be taken from every stratum that is to be about 10 percent of students from every class that is selected here.

Hence, according to the given situation, the correct answer is a random stratified sampling.

The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. A paper described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children ages 5 to 15 years. Based on this data, the authors conclude that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.5 mm and a standard deviation of 4.8 mm.

Required:
a. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters less than 24 mm?
b. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm?
c. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm?
d. For healthy children, what is the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter?

Answers

Answer:

a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015          or     P [ X < 24 mm ] =  30,15 %

b) P [ X > 32 mm ]  = 0,1251          or        P [ X > 32 mm ]  = 12,51 %

c) P [  25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964      or     P [  25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %

d) z(s) = 0,84

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution    N (  μ₀  ;   σ )   is  N ( 26,5 ; 4,8 )

a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = ( X - μ₀ ) / σ

P [ X < 24 mm ] = (24 - 26,5)/ 4,8 = - 0,5208 ≈ - 0,52

P [ X < 24 mm ] = - 0,52  

And from z-table we find area for z score

P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015          or     P [ X < 24 mm ] =  30,15 %

b)P [ X > 32 mm ]  =  1  - P [ X < 32 mm ]

P [ X < 32 mm ]  = ( 32 - 26,5 ) / 4,8

P [ X < 32 mm ]  = 5,5/4,8  =  1,1458 ≈ 1,15

P [ X < 32 mm ]  = 1,15

And from z-table  we get

P [ X < 32 mm ]  = 0,8749

Then:

P [ X > 32 mm ]  =  1  -  0,8749

P [ X > 32 mm ]  = 0,1251          or        P [ X > 32 mm ]  = 12,51 %

c) P [  25 < X < 30 ] = P [ X < 30 ] - P [ X < 25 ]

P [ X < 30 ]  = 30 - 26,5 / 4,8   =  0,73

From  z-table    P [ X < 30 ]  =  0,7673

P [ X < 25 ] = 25 - 26,5 / 4,8  = - 0,3125  ≈  - 0,31

From z-table  P [ X < 25 ] =  0,2709

Then

P [  25 < X < 30 ] =  0,7673 -  0,2709

P [  25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964      or     P [  25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %

d) If  20 %

z- score for 20% is from z-table

You can try to use the calculator to determine the best line for the values given; you will se that the calculator form, for the linear function is

y = a + bx, where a is the y intercept and b is the slope.

To determine the slope, we apply a formula, to calculate the product of the two xy and, x², plus the sum of each column.

x    y    xy    x²  

1  .  11 = 11 → x² = 1² = 1

2 .  8 = 16 → x² = 2² = 4

3 .  4 = 12 → x² = 3² = 9

4 .  1 = 4 → x² = 4² = 16

5 .  0 = 0 → x² = 5² = 25

Total x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

Total y = 11 + 8 + 4+ 1 + 0 = 24

Sum of xy = 11 + 16 + 12 + 4 + 0 = 43

Sum of x² =  1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 = 55

n = 5

So b =  5 (43) - (15) . (24) / 5 (55) - 15² = -2.9

a =  y media - b . x media → a = 24/5 - (-2.9) . 15/5 = 13.5

The larger metallic object is initially at rest, so the velocity is 0 when t = 0. The speed changes after t = 3 seconds.

Answer:

It would be the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

It says the object is initially at rest, so you look for a table with 0 m/s and you find the last table had been at rest for 0 -2  seconds. The small rocky object initially had a speed of 90 m/s and then decreased to 36 m/s as its energy transferred to the metallic object. The metallic object's speed from time 4-6s with the small rocky object equals the small rocky initial speed.

Rocky Object initial speed = 90 m/s

Rocky Object new speed = 36 m/s

Large metallic object speed after collision = 64 m/s.

64 m/s + 36 m/s = 90 m/s

Large metallic object speed after collision + Rocky Object new speed

= Rocky Object initial speed

You can also test this for kinetic energy.

If they are congruent, complete the following statement: "Yes, triangle __ congruent to triangle __ giving a detailed explanation of your reasoning. If they are not congruent, explain why you think so. Be specific in your answer and make sure to show your work.

Answers

Answer: The triangles are not congruent

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

Explanation:

For triangle DEF, the missing angle D is

D+E+F = 180

D+80+60 = 180

D+140 = 180

D = 180-140

D = 40

While the missing angle K in triangle JKL is

J+K+L = 180

80+K+50 = 180

K+130 = 180

K = 180-130

K = 50

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

The three angles for triangle DEF are

D = 40E = 80F = 60

The three angles for triangle JKL are

J = 80K = 50L = 50

We don't have all the angles matching up. We need to have the same three numbers (the order doesn't matter) show up for both triangles in order for the triangles to be congruent. This is because congruent triangles have congruent corresponding angles.

The only pair that matches is E = 80 and J = 80, but everything else is different. So there is no way the triangles are congruent.

Notice how triangle JKL has two congruent base angles (K = 50 and L = 50), so this triangle is isosceles. Triangle DEF is not isosceles as we have three different angles, so this triangle is scalene.

Find the width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3.

Answers

Answer:

The Width = 28 inches

The Height = 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

The width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3

Using Pythagoras Theorem

Width² + Height² = Diagonal²

Since we known that the size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches.

Hence, for this new TV

Width² + Height² = 35²

We are given ratio: 4:3 as aspect ratio

Width = 4x

Height = 3x

(4x)² +(3x)² = 35²

= 16x² + 9x² = 35²

25x² = 1225

x² = 1225/25

x² = 49

x = √49

x = 7

Hence, for the 35 inch tv set

The Width = 4x

= 4 × 7

= 28 inches.

The Height = 3x

What type of triangle has side lengths 9, 10, and √130? A. obtuse B. not a triangle C. acute D. right

Answers

Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of our triangle are:

9, 10 and √130.

If the triangle is a triangle rectangle, by the Pitagoream's theorem we have:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

in this case H is the larger side, this must be √130.

then:

A and B must be 9 and 10.

9^2 + 10^2 = (√130)^2

81 + 100 = 130

This is false, so this is NOT a triangle rectangle, the hypotenuse is shorter than it should be.

Now, we have some kind of rule:

 if A^2 + B^2 = H^2 then we have one angle of 90° and two smaller ones. (triangle rectangle)

 if A^2 + B^2 > H^2 then all the angles are smaller than 90°, this is an acute triangle.

 if A^2 + B^2 < H^2 then we have one angle larger than 90°, this is an obtuse angle.

(H is always the larger side, A and B are the two shorter ones).

In this case:

81 + 100 > 130

Then this must be an acute angle.

is this a function {(-2, 6), (-3, 7), (-4, 8), (-3, 10)}

Answers

No, that is not a function.

To be a function, each different input (x) needs a different output (y)

In the given function there are two -3’s as inputs and they have different y values, so it can’t be a function.

Answer: no

Step-by-step explanation: To determine if a relation is a function, take a look at the x–coordinate of each ordered pair. If the x–coordinate is different in each ordered pair, then the relation is a function.

Note that the only exception to this would be that if the x-coordinate pairs up with the same y-coordinate in a relation more than once, it's still classified ad a function.

Ask yourself, do any of the ordered pairs

in this relation have the same x-coordinate?

Well by looking at this relation, we can see that two

of the ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate.

In this case, the x-coordinate of 3 appears twice.

So no, this relation is not a function.

If (x - 2) and (x + 1) are factors of
x + px? + qx + 1, what is the sum of p and q?

Answers

Answer:

p + q = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to take the original equation, and factor it to a form that's easier to get two binomial factors from (i.e., let's get a quadratic):

x^3 + px^2 + qx + 1

= x (x^2 + px + q) + 1

Now that we have factored out the x, we have a quadratic trinomial which we know can be broken down into two linear binomials.  The problem gives us two linear binomials, so let's take a look.

(x - 2) (x + 1) = (x^2 + px + q)

x^2 - 2x + x -2 = x^2 + px + q

Now let's solve.

x^2 - x - 2 = x^2 + px + q

-x - 2 = px + q

From here, we can easily see that p = -1 (the coefficient of x) and q = -2.

Hence, p + q = -1 + -2 = -3.

Subtract 20 from both sides.

[tex]q = 25 - 20[/tex]

Subtract 20 from 25 to get, you guessed it, 5!

A museum curator is hanging 7 paintings in a row for an exhibit. There are 4 Renaissance paintings and 3 Baroque paintings. From left to right, all of the Renaissance paintings will be hung first, followed by all of the Baroque paintings. How many ways are there to hang the paintings

Answers

Answer:

144 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of paintings = 7

Renaissance = 4

Baroque = 3

We are hanging from left to right and we will first hang Renaissance painting before baroque painting.

For Renaissance we have 4! Ways of doing so. 4 x3x2x1 = 24

For baroque we have 3! Ways of doing so. 3x2x1 = 6

We have 4!ways x 3!ways

= (4x3x2x1) * (3x2x1) ways

= 144 ways

Therefore we have 144 ways to hang the painting.

The following shows the monthly sales in units of six salespersons before and after a bonus plan was introduced. At 95% confidence, determine whether the bonus plan has increased sales significantly. (For the following matched samples, let the difference "d" be: d = after - before.)

Salesperson After Before
1 94 90
2 82 84
3 90 84
4 76 70
5 79 80
6 85 80

Answers

Answer:

Since the calculated value of t= 2.249 does not  falls in the rejection region we therefore accept  the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the  bonus plan has not  increased sales significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternative hypotheses as

H0: μd=0    Ha: μd≠0

Significance level is set at ∝= 0.05

n= 6

degrees of freedom = df = 6-1 = 5

The critical region is t  ( base alpha by 2 with df=5) ≥ ± 2.571

The test statistic under H0 is

t = d/ sd/ √n

Which has t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom

Sales                                      Difference

Person      After      Before   d = after - before      d²

5                  79           80               -1                        1

6                  85          80                 5                       25  

∑                                                       18                   118

d`= ∑d/n= 18/6= 3

sd²= 1/6( 118- 18²/6) = 1/6 ( 118 - 54) = 10.67

sd= 3.266

t= 3/ 3.266/ √6

t= 2.249

Since the calculated value of t= 2.249 does not  falls in the rejection region we therefore accept  the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the  bonus plan has not  increased sales significantly.

The mean weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and their weights at birth are recorded as 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds. Does the sample data show a significant increase in the average birthrate at a 5% level of significance?
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is 6.6 lb.
B. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than 6.6 lb.
C. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is greater than 6.6 lb.
D. Cannot calculate because the population standard deviation is unknown

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is  A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  population is  [tex]\mu = 6.6[/tex]

     The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]

      The sample data is  9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds

The Null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 6.6[/tex]

 The Alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu > 6.6[/tex]

The critical value of the level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is

                       [tex]Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.05 } = 1.645[/tex]

Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as

      [tex]\=x = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]\=x = \frac{9.0 + 7.3 + 6.0+ 8.8+ 6.8+ 8.4+6.6 }{7}[/tex]

      [tex]\=x = 7.5571[/tex]

The standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as

           [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum [ x - \= x ]}{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ [ 9.0-7.5571]^2 + [7.3 -7.5571]^2 + [6.0-7.5571]^2 + [8.8- 7.5571]^2 + [6.8- 7.5571]^2 + [8.4 - 7.5571]^2+ [6.6- 7.5571]^2 }{7} }[/tex][tex]\sigma = 1.1774[/tex]

Generally the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as

            [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu } { \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]t = \frac{7.5571 - 6.6 } { \frac{1.1774 }{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]

            [tex]t = 1.4274[/tex]

Looking at the value of  t and  [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex]   we see that [tex]t < Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

  What this implies is that there is no sufficient evidence to state that the sample data show as significant increase in the average birth rate

The conclusion is that the mean is  [tex]\mu = 6.6 \ lb[/tex]
