A dozen roses in a gift box cost 21 dollars. Twenty roses in a
gift box cost 32.6 dollars. How much does a gift box cost? How
much does one rose cost?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]\$1.45[/tex]; [tex]\$3.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A dozen roses in a gift box costs $21

Similarly, 20 roses in a gift box costs $32.6

Suppose the price of single rose and gift box is [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]

[tex]\therefore 12x+y=21\quad \ldots(i)\\\Rightarrow 20x+y=32.6\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]

Solving (i) and (ii) ,  we get

[tex]x=\$1.45;y=\$3.6[/tex]

Thus, the price of the one rose is [tex]\$1.45[/tex] and the price of gift box is [tex]\$3.6[/tex]

The open circle means "not equal".

So,  A is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Graph A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x > 5 means all x values greater than 5

thus, the graph that best shows that x is greater than 5 is graph A.

Explanation: because x isn't being itself I mean by x isn't just 5 but greater than 5 (graph a)

graph b shows x being less than 5 which is wrong

graph c shows x being greater than 5 but being equal to 5 because of the bold circle

graph d shows everything wrong about x. first it's not suppose to be less than and second x isn't equal to 5

therefore the answer graph A.

Ahmad Conan deposited 60 quarters, 53 dimes, 44 nickels, and 50 pennies into his checking account. The total of the checks he deposited equaled $17 less than twice his total deposit. If Ahmad received 2 twenty-dollar bills in cash, what was his total deposit?

Answers

Answer:

40 $

Step-by-step explanation:

He first deposited 60 quarters=15$, 53 dimes=5.3$, 44 nickels=2.2$, and 50 pennies=0.5$ Total 23$

23$+17$=2*(total deposit)

so total deposit = 20

"If Ahmad received 2 twenty-dollar bills in cash" - does not mean that he deposited those 40$

so total deposit = 20$

An article reported that, in a study of a particular wafer inspection process, 356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 244 of these passed the probe. Assuming a stable process, calculate a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe is (0.637, 0.733).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 244 of these passed the probe.

This means that [tex]n = 356, \pi = \frac{244}{356} = 0.685[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.685 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.685*0.315}{356}} = 0.637[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.685 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.685*0.315}{356}} = 0.733[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe is (0.637, 0.733).

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

Permutation. ; 83810 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation and combination methods refers to mathematical solution to finding the number of ways of making selection for a group of objects.

Usually, selection process whereby the order of selection does not matter are being treated using permutation, while those which takes the order of selection into cognizance are calculated using combination.

Here, selecting 2 members (president and vice president) from 290 ; since order of arrangement does not matter, we use permutation ;

Recall :

nPr = n! ÷ (n - r)!

Hence,

290P2 = 290! ÷ (290 - 2)!

290P2 = 290! ÷ 288!

290P2 = (290 * 289) = 83810 ways

Find an equation of the plane orthogonal to the line
(x,y,z)=(0,9,6)+t(7,−7,−6)

which passes through the point (9, 6, 0).

Give your answer in the form ax+by+cz=d (with a=7).

Answers

The given line is orthogonal to the plane you want to find, so the tangent vector of this line can be used as the normal vector for the plane.

The tangent vector for the line is

d/dt (⟨0, 9, 6⟩ + ⟨7, -7, -6⟩t ) = ⟨7, -7, -6⟩

Then the plane that passes through the origin with this as its normal vector has equation

x, y, z⟩ • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

We want the plane to pass through the point (9, 6, 0), so we just translate every vector pointing to the plane itself by adding ⟨9, 6, 0⟩,

(⟨x, y, z⟩ - ⟨9, 6, 0⟩) • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

Simplifying this expression and writing it standard form gives

x - 9, y - 6, z⟩ • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

7 (x - 9) - 7 (y - 6) - 6z = 0

7x - 63 - 7y + 42 - 6z = 0

7x - 7y - 6z = 21

so that

a = 7, b = -7, c = -6, and d = 21

An equation of the plane orthogonal to the line 7x - 7y - 6z = 21.

7 (x - 9) - 7 (y - 6) - 6z = 0

7x - 63 - 7y + 42 - 6z = 0

Answers

The recursive function is A(t + 1) = A(t) - 75

Where;

A(t) = 1,200 - 75×t

The known parameter are;

The amount Rebecca buys the new couch = $1,200

The amount she plans to make as monthly payment = $75

The time she plans to start paying = The month after she buys the couch

Strategy;

Define a recursive function that models the amount of money Rebecca still has to pay

Definition

A recursive function is one which has its own process as an input in the process of its implementation

A recursive function that models the amount of money Rebecca still has to pay for the couch is found as follows;

The amount left for her to pay in the present month = The amount left to pay in the previous month - $75

Let A(t + 1) represent the amount left for her to pay in the present month and let A(t) represent the amount left to pay in the previous month, we get;

A(t) = 1,200 - 75×t

A(t + 1) = 1,200 - 75×t - 75 = A(t) - 75

The recursive function is A(t + 1) = A(t) - 75

The function is recursive because, the function, A(t), is called in as an input to the execution of the function

In a large midwestern university (the class of entering freshmen is 6000 or more students), an SRS of 100 entering freshmen in 1999 found that 20 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Admission standards at the university were tightened in 2000. In 2001, an SRS of 100 entering freshmen found that 10 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of all entering freshmen in 1999 and 2001, respectively, who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class.

Required:
Is there evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced, as a result of the tougher admission standards adopted in 2000, compared with the proportion in 1999

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0228, which is less than the standard significance level of 0.05, which means that there is evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving this question, 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.

1999:

20 out of 100 in the bottom third, so:

[tex]p_1 = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{100}} = 0.04[/tex]

2001:

10 out of 100 in the bottom third, so:

[tex]p_2 = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1*0.9}{100}} = 0.03[/tex]

Test if proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still the same, that is, the subtraction of the proportions in 1999 and 2001 is 0, so:

[tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion has been reduced, that is, the subtraction of the proportion in 1999 by the proportion in 2001 is positive. So:

[tex]H_1: p_1 - p_2 > 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 two samples:

[tex]X = p_1 - p_2 = 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.04^2 + 0.03^2} = 0.05[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.1 - 0}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a difference of at least 0.1, which is the p-value of z = 2.

Looking at the z-table, the p-value of z = 2 is 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

The p-value of the test is 0.0228, which is less than the standard significance level of 0.05, which means that there is evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced.
