Answer:
5 gallons of 18% solution
10 gallons of 48% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
x = gallons of 18% solution
y = gallons of 48% solution
Total volume is:
x + y = 15
Total amount of fertilizer is:
0.18 x + 0.48 y = 0.38 (15)
Solve by substitution.
0.18 x + 0.48 (15 − x) = 0.38 (15)
0.18 x + 7.2 − 0.48 x = 5.7
0.3 x = 1.5
x = 5
y = 10
Marco purchased a large box of comic books for $300. He gave 15 of the comic books to his brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330 making a profit , making a profit of $1.50 on each one.how many comic books were in the box? what was the original price of each comic book (assuming they all cost the same amount)?
Answer: There are 75 books.
Price of each book = $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of books in the box.
Then as per given,
Cost of x books = $300
Cost of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{300}x)[/tex]
Books left after giving 15 of them = x-15
Selling price of (x-15) books= $330
Selling price of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{330}{x-15})[/tex]
Profit on each book= $1.50
Profit = selling price - cost price
[tex]\Rightarrow 1.50=\dfrac{330}{x-15}-\dfrac{300}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330(x)-300(x-15)}{x(x-15)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330x-300x+4500}{x^2-15x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50(x^2-15x)=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-22.5x=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-25x-3000=0\ \ [\text{divide by 1.5}][/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow (x+40)(x-75)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=-40,75[/tex]
Number of books cannot be negative.
So, there are 75 books.
Price of each book = [tex]\dfrac{300}{75}=\$4[/tex]
So price of each book = $4.
If you randomly select a card from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card you select is a heart or Ace
Answer:
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number of Cards = 52
Required
Determine the probability of picking a heart or ace
Represent Ace with Ace and Heart = H
In a standard pack of cards; there are
[tex]n(A) = 4[/tex]
[tex]n(H) = 13[/tex]
[tex]n(A\ and\ H) = 1[/tex]
[tex]Total = 52[/tex]
Because the events are non mutually exclusive
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = P(A) + P(H) - P(A\ and\ H)[/tex]
Where
[tex]P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{Total} = \frac{4}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(H) = \frac{n(H)}{Total} = \frac{13}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ and\ H) = \frac{n(A\ and\ H)}{Total} = \frac{1}{52}[/tex]
Substitute these values in the above formula
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = P(A) + P(H) - P(A\ and\ H)[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{52} + \frac{13}{52} - \frac{1}{52}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4 + 13 - 1}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{16}{52}[/tex]
Reduce fraction to lowest term
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{13}[/tex]
Hence, probability of a heart or ace is 4/13
A certain animal's body temperature has a mean of F and a standard deviation of F. Convert the given temperatures to z scores.
A certain animal's body temperature has a mean of 94.72° F and a standard deviation of 0.57°F. Convert the given temperatures to z scores.
a. 93.52 °F b. 95.22 °F c. 94.72 °F
Answer:
a. z = - 2.1053
b. z = 0.87719
c. z = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The population mean μ = 94.72
The standard deviation σ = 0.57
the formula for calculating the standard normal z score, which can be represented as:
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
For a.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 93.52
The z score can be computed as follows:
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{93.52 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{-1.2}{0.57}[/tex]
z = - 2.1053
For b.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 95.22
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{95.22 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{0.5}{0.57}[/tex]
z = 0.87719
For c.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 94.72
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{94.72 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{0}{0.57}[/tex]
z = 0
The upper-left coordinates on a rectangle are (-1,4), and the upper-right coordinates are (3,4). The rectangle
has a perimeter of 24 units.
Draw the rectangle on the coordinate plane below.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(Length + Breadth)
The distance between the upper-left coordinates on a rectangle and the upper-right coordinates is the breadth of the rectangle. To get the breadth of the rectangle, we will use tgw formula for calculating the distance between two points as shown.
D = √(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²
Given the coordinates (-1,4) and (3,4), the distance between the coordinates where x1 = -1, y1 = 4, x2 = 3 and y2 = 4 will be expressed as.
B = √(4-4)²+(3-(-1))²
B = √0+4²
B = √16
B = 4
Hence the breadth of the rectangle is 4 units.
Substituting the breadth into the formula for calculating the perimeter will give;
P = 2(L+B)
24 = 2(L+4)
L+4 = 24/2
L+4 =12
L = 12-4
L = 8
Hence the length of the rectangle is 8 units.
The diagram of the rectangle on a coordinate is as given in the attachment below.
How much would you need to deposit in an account now in order to have $6,000 in the account in 8 years? Assume the account earns 6% interest compounded monthly. (could anyone do this whole problem out?
Answer:
$3,717
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, in 1 year there are 12 months.
Let's note I the Initial amount.
So, after 1 month we will get the following, because we compute the interest amount for one month only.
I * ( 1 + 6% * (1/12) )
And the next month, we will have interest of the amount available from previous month so it gives
[tex]I * ( 1+6\% * \dfrac{1}{12} ) * ( 1+6\% * \dfrac{1}{12} ) \\\\=I*(1+\dfrac{6}{12*100})^2\\\\=I*(1+\dfrac{1}{200})^2\\\\=I*(1.005)^2[/tex]
... and after n months ...
[tex]I*(1.005)^n[/tex]
8 years is 8*12 = 96 months. so we are looking for I such that
[tex]I*(1.005)^{96}=6000\\\\<=> I =\dfrac{6000}{1.005^{96}}\\\\=\boxed{3717.14345....}[/tex]

We want to model the daily movement of a particular stock (say Amazon, ticker = AMZN) using a homogeneous markov-chain. Suppose at the close of the market each day, the stock can end up higher or lower than the previous day’s close. Assume that if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is .65. If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is .45.
(a) What is the 1-step transition matrix? (Let 1 = higher, 2 = lower)
(b) On Monday, the stock closed higher. What is the probability that it will close higher on Thursday (three days later)
Answer:
See the explanation and attached images for the answers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 1-step transition matrix:
See the attached image for transition matrix.
Let the matrix be M
if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.65.
If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.45
if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.65 = 0.35
if the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.45 =0.55
b)
To compute probability for 3 days later multiply matrix M (from part a) thrice i.e. M*M *M
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65 * 0.65 + 0.35 * 0.45 &0.65 * 0.35 + 0.35 * 0.55 \\0.45 * 0.65 + 0.55 * 0.45 &0.45 * 0.35 + 0.55 * 0.55 \end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.58&0.42\\0.54&0.46\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 0.58 * 0.65 + 0.42 x 0.45&0.58 * 0.35 + 0.42 * 0.55 \\0.54 * 0.65 + 0.46 * 0.45 &0.54 * 0.35 + 0.46 * 0.55 \end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.566&0.434\\0.558&0.442\end{array}\right][/tex]
The probability that it will close higher on Thursday is 0.566. See the transmission matrix of M³ for higher-higher. This can be interpreted as:
if the stock closed higher on Monday, the probability that it closes higher the on Thursday (three days later) is 0.566
Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 33 amd 37, and that the angle between these two sides is 120°. What is the length of the third side of the triangle
Answer:
c = 60.65 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The two sides of a triangle are 33 cm and 37 cm.
The angle between these two sides is 120°.
We need to find the length of the third side of the triangle. Let c is the third side. Using cosine rule,
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C[/tex]
a = 33 cm, b = 37 cm and C is 120°
So,
[tex]c^2=(33)^2+(37)^2-2\times 33\times 37\cos (120)\\\\c=60.65\ cm[/tex]
So, the length of the third side of the triangle is 60.65 cm.

musah stands at the center of a rectangular field . He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 step west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 315°. How far west and how far north is Musah final point from the center?
Answer:
85.36 far north from the center
10.36 far east from the center
Step-by-step explanation:
The extra direction taken in the north side is x
X/sin(360-315)=50/sin 90
Sin 90= 1
X/sin 45= 50
X= sin45 *50
X= 0.7071*50
X= 35.355 steps
X= 35.36
Then the west direction traveled
West =√(50² - 35.355²)
West = √(2500-1249.6225)
West= √1250.3775
West= 35.36 steps
But this was taken in an opposite west direction
From the center
He is 35.36 +50
= 85.36 far north from the center
And
25-35.36=-10.36
10.36 far east from the center
Stepwise regression is a variable screening method, not a model building method.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Step-by-step explanation:
Stepwise regression is a variable-selection method for independent variables.
Stepwise regression helps us to recognize and choose the most handy descriptive variables from a list of several reasonable independent variables.
It entails a series of steps that is drafted to locate the most handy X-variable to incorporate in a regression model. During each step of the course of action or method, each X - variable is estimated by applying a set criterion to determine if it is meant to exist in the model.
The basis for selection can be choosing a variable which satisfies the stipulated criterion or removing a variable that least satisfies the criterion. A typical illustration of such criterion is the t value.

For this year's fundraiser, students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize. If the fourth grade students at this school sell an average (arithmetic mean) of 47 subscriptions per student, the sales are normally distributed, and have a standard deviation of 14, then approximately what percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize
Answer:
The percentage is k = 2.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 47[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
Given that the sales are normally distributed and that students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize then the percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{75 - \mu }{\sigma })[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > \frac{75 - 47 }{14 })[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > 2)[/tex]
From the standardized normal distribution table
[tex]P(Z > 2) =0.023[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X > 75) = 0.023[/tex]
The percentage of the fourth grade students receive a prize is
k = 0.023 * 100
k = 2.3%

In the multiplication below, each of A, B and
C represents a different digit. What is ABC?
A B C
X
3
В В В
Answer:
ABC = 148, 3*148 = 444
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 111 = 3* 37, so all numbers of the form BBB has the factor 37.
So we need a multiple of 37 such thant when multiplied, we get three digits the same as the middle digit.
Try 4*37 = 148, 148*3 = 444, bingo, we got the right combination.
So ABC is 148.

A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 13 in and period 0.25 seconds. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.)Required:Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t.
Answer:
The equation is [tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The amplitude is [tex]A = 13 \ in[/tex]
The period is [tex]T = 0.25[/tex]
Generally the displacement function for a simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = A cos (wt )[/tex]
Here [tex]w[/tex] is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{ 0.25}[/tex]
[tex]w = 8\pi[/tex]
Given that at t = 0 the displacement is equal to 0 it means that there is no phase shift and also we are told that it is initially moving downward which implies that its Amplitude is [tex]A = -13\ in[/tex]
So the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]
Determine the value(s) for which the rational expression 2x^2/6x is undefined. If there's more than one value, list them separated by a comma, e.g. x=2,3.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, dividing by 0 is not defined. so
[tex]\dfrac{2x^2}{6x}[/tex]
is defined for x different from 0
This being said, we can simplify by 2x
[tex]\dfrac{2x^2}{6x}=\dfrac{2x*x}{3*2x}=\dfrac{1}{3}x[/tex]
and this last expression is defined for any real number x.

A researcher was interested in whether a new sports drink could change people's running endurance. For one week, 6 participants continued with their normal routine and then their endurance was measured. The following week, the same participants were instructed to drink the new sports drink an hour before their endurance was measured. Below are your data.
Week I 90 100 110 110 85 95
Week 2 100 110 110 120 95 95
What type of analysis would be used on the above data?
a. Z-test
b. One sample t-test
c. Independent samples t-test
d. Dependent samples t-test
Answer:
The correct option is (d).
Step-by-step explanation:
The dependent t-test (also known as the paired t-test or paired-samples t-test) compares the two means associated groups to conclude if there is a statistically significant difference amid these two means.
We use the paired t-test if we have 2 measurements on the same item, person or thing. We should also use this test if we have 2 items that are being measured with a unique condition.
For instance, an experimenter tests the effect of a medicine on a group of patients before and after giving the doses.
In this case, the same participants are selected for both the trials.
And the difference between the endurance before and after the usage of the new sports drink are noted.
Thus, the analysis that would be used on the data is the Dependent samples t-test.

3^2 + (-8)^2 + 3*(-8)
9 + 64 - 24
73 - 24
49
Answer:
49
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the polynomial:
[tex]x^2+y^2+xy[/tex]
We want to evaluate when x=3 and y= -8. Therefore, we must substitute 3 for each x and -8 for each y.
[tex](3)^2+(-8)^2+(3*-8)[/tex]
Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction
Solve the parentheses first. Multiply 3 and -9.
3*-8=-24
[tex](3)^2+(-8)^2 + -24[/tex]
[tex](3)^2+(-8)^2-24[/tex]
Now, solve the exponents.
3^2= 3*3 =9
[tex]9+ (-8)^2 -24[/tex]
-8^2= -8*-8= 64
[tex]9+64-24[/tex]
Add 9 and 64
[tex]73-24[/tex]
Subtract 24 from 73
[tex]49[/tex]
The polynomial evaluated for x=3 and y= -8 is 49.

[tex]n(Gray) = 5[/tex]
[tex]n(Blue) = 5[/tex]
Required
Determine P(Gray and Blue)
Using probability formula;
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)[/tex]
Calculating P(Gray)
[tex]P(Gray) = \frac{n(Gray)}{Sections}[/tex]
[tex]P(Gray) = \frac{5}{10}[/tex]
[tex]P(Gray) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Calculating P(Gray)
[tex]P(Blue) = \frac{n(Blue)}{Sections}[/tex]
[tex]P(Blue) = \frac{5}{10}[/tex]
[tex]P(Blue) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Substitute these values on the given formula
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)[/tex]
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
