Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion
BE/BC = BD/BA
BE = 3
BC = 2 + 3 = 5
BD = x + 2
BA = x + x + 2
BA = 2x + 2
3/5 = (x + 2) / (2x + 2) Cross multiply
3(2x + 2) = 5 (x + 2) Remove the brackets
6x + 6 = 5x + 10 Subtract 6 from both sides
6x = 5x + 4 Subtract 5x from both sides
x = 4

How to do questions 19 and 20
Answers
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information given in the question we can form the following 3 equations (in the order of the first 3 sentences)
w = 2h (twice the price)
t = h - 4 ($4 less)
3w + 2h + 5t = 136 (total purchasing and cost)
We can solve all 3 equations for h first, by substituting the first two equations, into the third equations w and t
3(2h) + 2h + 5(h-4) = 136
Simplify
6h + 2h + 5h - 20 = 136
13h = 136 + 20
13h = 156
h = 156/13
h = $12
Using this information, we can solve for w and t
w = 2h
w = 2(12)
w = $24
And finally
t = h - 4
t = 12 - 4
t = $8
Owens Orchards sells apples in a large bag by weight. A sample of seven bags contained the following numbers of apples: 23, 19, 26, 17, 21, 24, 22. a. Compute the mean and median number of apples in a bag. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
The mean and median number of apples in a bag are 21.71 and 22 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers. In other words, the mean is the average value of all my data.
The mean is calculated by adding all the values and dividing the sum by the total number of values. In this case:
[tex]Mean=\frac{23+19+26+17+21+24+22}{7}[/tex]
[tex]Mean=\frac{152}{7}[/tex]
Mean= 21.71
The median of a set of numbers is the average number in the set, that is, it is the value that occupies the central place of all the values.
The median can be calculated by putting the numbers in ascending order and then:
if the quantity is numbers it is odd: the median is the number in the center of that distribution. if the number of numbers is even: the median is the mean of the two middle numbers.In this case:
Putting the numbers in ascending order: 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26
Since the quantity is odd numbers, the median is the number in the center of that distribution. So Median= 22
The mean and median number of apples in a bag are 21.71 and 22 respectively.

Answer:
= 53(20 +4) or =24(50 +3) or =(20 +4)(50 +3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Either number can be rewritten as a sum. Typically, the sum will be based on place value: 53 = 50 + 3, for example, as opposed to something like 53 = 26 +27.
The usual method of multiplication taught in grade school makes use of this sort of rewriting.
53 × 24 = 53 × (4 +20) = 53×4 +53×20 = 212 +1060 = 1272
__
Additional comment
We find this easier to multiply as 53(20 +4) than as 24(50 +3) because doubling (multiplying by 2) and doubling again (multiplying by 4) is generally easier than multiplying by 3 or 5.
In grade school, we did this digit by digit, so ...
53×24 = (3 +50)(4 +20) = 3(4 +20) +50(4 +20) = 3×4 +3×20 +50×4 +50×20
= 12 +60 +200 +1000 = 1272

A motorist travels 90 miles at a rate of 20 miles per hour. If he returns the same distance at a rate of 40 miles per hour, what is the average speed for the entire trip, in miles per hour? (Explain)
Answers
Answer:
26 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.
The time for the first trip was ...
(90 mi)/(20 mi/h) = 4.5 h
The time for the return trip was ...
(90 mi)/(40 mi/h) = 2.25 h
Then the average for the trip and return is ...
total miles/total time = (90 +90)/(4.5 +2.25) = 26 2/3 . . . . mi/h
The average speed for the round trip was 26 2/3 miles per hour.

A professor has learned that nine students in her class of 35 will cheat on the exam. She decides to focus her attention on ten randomly chosen students during the exam. a. What is the probability that she finds at least one of the students cheating
Answers
Answer:
[tex]\frac{73,331}{75,516}\approx 97.11\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that she will find at least one student cheating is equal to the probability that she finds no students cheating subtracted from 1.
Each time she randomly chooses a student the probability she will catch a cheater is equal to the number of cheaters divided by the number of students.
Therefore, for the first student she chooses, there is a [tex]\frac{9}{35}[/tex] chance that the student chosen is a cheater and therefore a [tex]\frac{26}{35}[/tex] chance she does not catch a cheater. For the second student, there are only 34 students to choose from. If we stipulate that the first student chosen was not a cheater, then there is a [tex]\frac{9}{34}[/tex] chance she will catch a cheater and a [tex]\frac{25}{34}[/tex] chance she does not catch the cheater.
Therefore, the probability she does not catch a single cheater after randomly choosing ten students is equal to:
[tex]\frac{26}{35}\cdot \frac{25}{34}\cdot \frac{24}{33}\cdot \frac{23}{32}\cdot \frac{22}{31}\cdot \frac{21}{30}\cdot \frac{20}{29}\cdot \frac{19}{28}\cdot \frac{18}{27}\cdot \frac{17}{26}[/tex]
Subtract this from one to get the probability she finds at least one of the students cheating after randomly selecting nine students. Let event A occur when the professor finds at least one student cheating after randomly selecting ten students from a group of 35 students.
[tex]P(A)=1-\frac{26}{35}\cdot \frac{25}{34}\cdot \frac{24}{33}\cdot \frac{23}{32}\cdot \frac{22}{31}\cdot \frac{21}{30}\cdot \frac{20}{29}\cdot \frac{19}{28}\cdot \frac{18}{27}\cdot \frac{17}{26},\\\\P(A)=1-\frac{2,185}{75,516},\\\\P(A)=\boxed{\frac{73,331}{75,516}}\approx 0.97106573441\approx \boxed{97.11\%}[/tex]

The Damon family owns a large grape vineyard in western New York along Lake Erie. The grapevines must be sprayed at the beginning of the growing season to protect against various insects and diseases. Two new insecticides have just been marketed: Pernod 5 and Action. To test their effectiveness, three long rows were selected and sprayed with Pernod 5, and three others were sprayed with Action. When the grapes ripened, 390 of the vines treated with Pernod 5 were checked for infestation. Likewise, a sample of 420 vines sprayed with Action were checked. The results are:
Insecticide Number of Vines Checked (sample size) Number of Infested Vines
Pernod 5 390 23
Action 420 46
At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action?
Answers
Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.0088 < 0.05, which means that at the 0.05 significance level, we can conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Pernod 5:
23 out of 390, so:
[tex]p_P = \frac{23}{390} = 0.059[/tex]
[tex]s_P = \sqrt{\frac{0.059*0.941}{390}} = 0.0119[/tex]
Action:
46 out of 420, so:
[tex]p_A = \frac{46}{420} = 0.1095[/tex]
[tex]s_A = \sqrt{\frac{0.1095*0.8905}{420}} = 0.0152[/tex]
Test if there is a difference in proportions:
At the null hypothesis, we test if there is not a difference, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is 0. So
[tex]H_0: p_A - p_P = 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there is a difference, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is different of 0. So
[tex]H_1: p_A - p_P \neq 0[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.
0 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]
From the samples:
[tex]X = p_A - p_P = 0.1095 - 0.059 = 0.0505[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_P^2} = \sqrt{0.0119^2+0.0152^2} = 0.0193[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{0.0505 - 0}{0.0193}[/tex]
[tex]z = 2.62[/tex]
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is the probability of a difference in proportions of at least 0.0505 to either side, which is P(|z| > 2.62), that is, 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -2.62.
Looking at the z-table, z = -2.62 has a p-value of 0.0044.
2*0.0044 = 0.0088
The p-value of the test is 0.0088 < 0.05, which means that at the 0.05 significance level, we can conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action.

If f(2) = 13 and f '(x) ≥ 2 for 2 ≤ x ≤ 7, how small can f(7) possibly be?
Answers
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
f(2)=13
[tex]f'(x)\geq 2[/tex]
[tex]2\leq x\leq 7[/tex]
We have to find the possible small value of f(7).
We know that
[tex]f'(x)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]f'(x)=\frac{f(7)-f(2)}{7-2}[/tex]
[tex]f'(x)=\frac{f(7)-13}{5}[/tex]
We have
[tex]f'(x)\geq 2[/tex]
[tex]\frac{f(7)-13}{5}\geq 2[/tex]
[tex]f(7)-13\geq 2\times 5[/tex]
[tex]f(7)-13\geq 10[/tex]
[tex]f(7)\geq 10+13[/tex]
[tex]f(7)\geq 23[/tex]
The small value of f(7) can be 23.

A woodworker makes wooden checkerboards. her profit is a function of the price she charges. this graph shows her total profits, y, based on the sales price, x, of each checkerboard.
identify any zeros of the function, and interpret what the zeros mean in terms of the situation.
Answers
Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that the profit is defined as the difference between the revenue and the cost.
So, having a profit y = 0 means that the woodworker did not win nor lose anything.
Then the zeros of the function, the values of x such that the graph intersects the x-axis, are the prices such that she does not win nor loss anything.
In the graph we can see that the zeros are at:
x = 15 (the first one)
x = 70 (the second one)
so the zeros are at x = 15 and x = 70, and these are the prices such that the profit is zero, so at these prices she does not make nor lose money.
The correct option is B.
Answer:
x = 15 and x = 70, and these are the prices such that the profit is zero, so at these prices she does not make nor lose money.

A high school baseball player has a 0.305 batting average. In one game, he gets 9 at bats. What is the probability he will get at least 7 hits in the game
Answers
The probability that the player will get at least 7 hits in the game is approximately 0.192, or 19.2%.
What is Probability ?
Probability can be defined as ratio of number of favourable outcomes and total number of outcomes.
To solve this problem, we need to use the binomial distribution formula. The binomial distribution is used when we have a fixed number of independent trials (in this case, 9 at bats), where each trial has only two possible outcomes (hit or no hit), and the probability of success (getting a hit) is constant across all trials (0.305 in this case).
Let X be the number of hits the player gets in the game. Then X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n=9 (number of trials) and p=0.305 (probability of success).
The probability of getting at least 7 hits is equal to the sum of the probabilities of getting exactly 7, 8, or 9 hits:
P(X ≥ 7) = P(X=7) + P(X=8) + P(X=9)
Using the binomial probability formula:
P(X=k) = C(n,k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)
where C(n,k) is the binomial coefficient, which represents the number of ways to choose k items from a set of n items.
For k=7:
P(X=7) = C(9,7) * 0.305^7 * (1-0.305)^(9-7) = 0.154
For k=8:
P(X=8) = C(9,8) * 0.305^8 * (1-0.305)^(9-8) = 0.036
For k=9:
P(X=9) = C(9,9) * 0.305^9 * (1-0.305)^(9-9) = 0.002
Therefore:
P(X ≥ 7) = 0.154 + 0.036 + 0.002 = 0.192
Therefore, the probability that the player will get at least 7 hits in the game is approximately 0.192, or 19.2%.
