Answer:
The story tells of a plain-looking little bird (the Ugly Duckling) born in a barnyard. His brothers and sisters as well as the other birds and animals on the farm tease him for being plain and ugly, so he runs off to live with a flock of wild ducks and geese until hunters shoot down the flock. Alone again, the Ugly Duckling finds a home with an old woman, but her cat and hen also tease him, so he doesn't stay there long.
In his wanderings, the Ugly Duckling comes across a flock of migrating swans, and he wishes to join them but can't because he's too young and can't fly well enough. When winter sets in, a farmer rescues the Ugly Duckling, but the farmer's children and other animals frighten him with their noise and teasing, so again, he flees. He spends a cold and lonely winter hiding in a cave until springtime, when the flock of swans comes to the lake near his hiding place.
When the Ugly Duckling approaches the swans, he's delighted to find that they accept him and treat him like one of them. When he looks at his reflection in the lake, he realizes, to his astonishment, that he's matured into a beautiful swan himself. When the swans fly off from the lake, he spreads his wings and joins them, finally having found a family who accepts him.

A grade school is putting on its Spring show. The theater seats 120 people. Because of the demand for tickets, the school has made the following specifications:
•The number of tickets for children will be twice as many as the number for adults.
•Full-price adult tickets will be $24; children's tickets will be $12
•At least 10 of the adult tickets will be made available to seniors aged 60 and over at 25% discount
•Total ticket sales must be at least $1,800
1)How many children's tickets will be sold? 2)How many adult tickets (full-priced and senior) will be sold?
3)How many of the adult tickets can be sold with the senior discount?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
804010 to 20, inclusiveStep-by-step explanation:
1. The various goals can be met without filling the theater. This fact means there is a range of possibilities for each of the answers. However, we take the wording, "because of the demand for tickets ..." to mean demand is high and the theater will be sold out.
Since two children's tickets will be sold for each adult ticket sold, the number of children's tickets is 2/3 of the total.
children's tickets = 2/3 × 120 = 80
__
2. The remaining 40 tickets will be adult tickets.
40 adult tickets will be sold.
__
3. The total revenue must be at least $1800. If we allow 'd' tickets to be sold at a discount, then we can find the limits on d using the inequality ...
24(40-d) +24(0.75)d +12(80) ≥ 1800 . . . . revenue from ticket sales
-6d ≥ -120 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 1920
d ≤ 20 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -6
At least 10 and at most 20 adult tickets can be sold with a discount.
("At least 10" comes from the problem requirements.)

If one table and two lamps cost $88, and two
tables and three lamps cost $153, how much
does a lamp cost?
Answer:
One lamp is equal to 23 dollars
One table is equal to 42 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by first organizing what we have.
1 table (t) + 2 lamps (l) = 88.
2 tables (t) + 3 lamps (l) = 153.
_____________
===============
1t + 2l = 88
2t + 3l = 153
===============
-------------------------
If we multiply both sides by 2 on the first equation of
1t + 2l = 88
we could get
2t + 4l = 176.
If that is true, we can subtract the second equation of
2t + 3l = 153 from the new equation to get the price of a lamp.
2t + 4l = 176
- 2t + 3l = 153
____________
= 0t + l = 23
One lamp is equal to 23.
We can check this by plugging it into an equation.
1 + 2(23) = 88
1t + 46 = 88
1t + 46 - 46 = 88 - 46
1t = 42
If one table equals 42, we can put this back into the second equation to check.
2 (42) + 3 (23) = 153
84 + 69 = 153
That is correct.
Another way to solve is to put this like a system of equations in a graph, by replacing "t" by "x" for example, and "l" by y.
Then you could put it into a graphing calculator and solve by looking for the place where the two lines converge or meet.
Since we put "x" for "t", that means that whatever the x-value is on the solution point, that is the cost of a table, and the y-value is the cost of the lamps.
Another way to solve, is to find the unit rate first by subtracting the first equation from the second equation.
2t + 3l = 153
- 1t + 2l = 88
____________
= t + l = 65
If t + l = 65, we can rearrange that equation to be something like t = 65 - l.
That means "t" is equal to 65 bucks minus a lamp.
We put this back into the first equation of
1t + 2l = 88
and replace "t" with the previous expression.
1(65 - l) + 2l = 88
Simplify/distributive property
65 - l + 2l = 88
65 - 65 - l + 2l = 88 - 65
-l + 2l = 23
l = 23
One lamp is equal to 23 bucks.
Confirmed :)
A lamp cost $23
Let the cost of a table be represented by x
Let the cost of a lamp be represented by y.
Since one table and two lamps cost $88, this can be represented as:
x + 2y = 88 ........ equation i
Since two tables and three lamps cost $153, this can be represented as:
2x + 3y = 153 ........ equation ii
Therefore, the equations are:
x + 2y = 88 ....... i
2x + 3y = 153 ....... ii
From equation i,
x + 2y = 88
x = 88 - 2y ...... iii
Put the value of x into equation ii
2x + 3y = 153
2(88 - 2y) + 3y = 153
176 - 4y + 3y = 153
Collect like terms
-4y + 3y = 153 - 176
-y = -23
y = 23
Therefore, a lamp cost $23

In a test of a heat-seeking rocket, a first rocket is launched at 2000 fts and the heat-seeking rocket is launched along the same flight path 20 s later at a speed of 3000 fts. Find
the timest, and t, of flight of the rockets until the heat-seeking rocket destroys the first rocket
What are the times of the flight?
Answer:
Time of flight of first rocket = 60 seconds
Time of flight of second rocket = 40 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time of flight of first rocket be t1.
Since the second rocket is launched 20 seconds later, then it means that;
t1 = t2 + 20
Where t2 is the time of flight of the second rocket.
When destruction has occurred, it means that both of the rockets would have covered the same distance.
We know that;
Distance = speed × time
Thus;
2000t1 = 3000t2
We know that t1 = t2 + 20
Thus;
2000(t2 + 20) = 3000t2
2000t2 + 40000 = 3000t2
3000t2 - 2000t2 = 40000
1000t2 = 40000
t2 = 40000/1000
t2 = 40 seconds
Thus;
t1 = 40 + 20
t1 = 60 seconds
6. Calculate the area of the octagon in the
figure below.
Answer:
[tex]41\text{ [units squared]}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The octagon is irregular, meaning not all sides have equal length. However, we can break it up into other shapes to find the area.
The octagon shown in the figure is a composite figure as it's composed of other shapes. In the octagon, let's break it up into:
4 triangles (corners)3 rectangles (one in the middle, two on top after you remove triangles)Formulas:
Area of rectangle with length [tex]l[/tex] and width [tex]w[/tex]: [tex]A=lw[/tex] Area of triangle with base [tex]b[/tex] and height [tex]h[/tex]: [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]Area of triangles:
All four triangles we broke the octagon into are congruent. Each has a base of 2 and a height of 2.
Thus, the total area of one is [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot 2=2\text{ square units}[/tex]
The area of all four is then [tex]2\cdot 4=8[/tex] units squared.
Area of rectangles:
The two smaller rectangles are also congruent. Each has a length of 3 and a width of 2. Therefore, each of them have an area of [tex]3\cdot 2=6[/tex] units squared, and the both of them have a total area of [tex]6\cdot 2=12[/tex] units squared.
The last rectangle has a width of 7 and a height of 3 for a total area of [tex]7\cdot 3=21[/tex] units squared.
Therefore, the area of the entire octagon is [tex]8+12+21=\boxed{41\text{ [units squared]}}[/tex]

You get GPS units from two manufacturers, A and B. You get 43% of your units from A and 57% of your units from B. In the past, 2% of the units from A have been defective, and 1.5% of the units from B have been defective. Assuming this holds true, if a GPS unit is found to be defective what is the probability that it came from manufacturer A (think Bayes Theorem AND round to two decimal places)
Answer:
0.5015 = 50.15% probability that it came from manufacturer A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Defective
Event B: From manufacturer A.
Probability a unit is defective:
2% of 43%(from manufacturer A)
1.5% of 57%(from manufacturer B). So
[tex]P(A) = 0.02*0.43 + 0.015*0.57 = 0.01715[/tex]
Probability a unit is defective and from manufacturer A:
2% of 43%. So
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.02*0.43 = 0.0086[/tex]
What is the probability that it came from manufacturer A?
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0086}{0.01715} = 0.5015[/tex]
0.5015 = 50.15% probability that it came from manufacturer A.
g Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15, find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?
Solution :
The objective is to obtain the [tex]\text{probability of a positive result}[/tex] for 2 samples combined into a [tex]\text{mixture}[/tex].
Given that the [tex]\text{probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.15}[/tex]
The probability of the positive test result is calculated as follows :
P ( positive mixture ) = P(1 or more samples positive)
= 1 - P (none +ve)
= 1 - P ((-ve) x (-ve))
[tex]$= 1-P(-ve )^2$[/tex]
[tex]$=1-[1-P(+ve)]^2$[/tex]
[tex]$=1-(1-0.15)^2$[/tex]
[tex]$=1-(0.85)^2$[/tex]
= 1 - 0.7225
= 0.2775
No, the probability is not low enough.

[tex]( \frac{1}{3})^{3} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many expressions that can be equivalent to 1/27.
For example, 2/54, 3/81 etc
But I think the expression you are looking for is
[tex] \frac{1}{27} = \frac{1 \times 1 \times 1}{3 \times 3 \times 3} = \frac{ {1}^{3} }{ {3}^{3} } = ( \frac{1}{3} )^{3} [/tex]
Hope this is helpful
Assume one individual from the group is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone who tests negative, given that he or she had the disease. the probability is approximately?
Answer:
[tex]P(Negative | Yes) = 0.0486[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {Yes} & {No} & {Positive} & {137} & {24} & {Negative} & {7} & {132} \ \end{array}[/tex]
Required
[tex]P(Negative | Yes)[/tex]
This is calculated as:
[tex]P(Negative | Yes) = \frac{n(Negative\ n\ Yes)}{n(Yes)}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(Negative | Yes) = \frac{7}{137+7}[/tex]
[tex]P(Negative | Yes) = \frac{7}{144}[/tex]
[tex]P(Negative | Yes) = 0.0486[/tex]
According to estimates by the office of the Treasury Inspector General of IRS, approximately 0.0746 of the tax returns filed are fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS. In a random sample of 318 independent returns from this year, what is the probability that at least 23 will be fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS
Answer:
0.6026 = 60.26% probability that at least 23 will be fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
Approximately 0.0746 of the tax returns filed are fraudulent or will contain errors.
This means that [tex]p = 0.0746[/tex]
Random sample of 318 independent returns
This means that [tex]n = 318[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 318*0.0746 = 23.7228[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{318*0.0746*0.9254} = 4.6854[/tex]
What is the probability that at least 23 will be fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS?
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 23 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 22.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 22.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{22.5 - 23.7228}{4.6854}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.26[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.26[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3974.
1 - 0.3974 = 0.6026
0.6026 = 60.26% probability that at least 23 will be fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS
