Answer:

  36 9/16 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Volume formula

  V = LWH

  V = (3 3/4 ft)(3 ft)(3 1/4 ft) = (15/4)(3)(13/4) ft³ = 585/16 ft³

  V = 36 9/16 ft³ . . . the volume of the shipping box

__

Packing cubes

Each cube measures 1/4 ft on a side. In terms of cubes, the dimensions of the box are ...

  3 3/4 ft = 15/4 ft = 15×(1/4 ft)   ⇒   15 cubes

  3 ft = 12/4 ft = 12×(1/4 ft)   ⇒   12 cubes

  3 1/4 ft = 13/4 ft = 13×(1/4 ft)   ⇒   13 cubes

This means 15 cubes can be lined up along the bottom front of the box. 12 such lines can make one layer of cubes covering the bottom of the box, and 13 such layers will fill the box.

The total number of cubes in the box is ...

  15 × 12× 13 = 2340 . . . . fish food cubes

Each cube has a volume of (1/4 ft)³ = 1/64 ft³, so the volume of the shipping box is ...

  (2340 cubes)×(1/64 ft³/cube) = 2340/64 ft³

  = 36 9/16 ft³ . . . shipping box volume

__

2.

Using the volume formula, the volume is 36 9/16 ft³

Using the packing cubes method, the volume is 36 9/16 ft³

__

3.

If you consider the math used in the packing cubes method, you see it looks like ...

  V = (15)(12)(13) × (1/64 ft³)

  = (15)(12)(13)×(1/4 ft)³ = (15×1/4 ft)(12×1/4 ft)(13×1/4 ft)

  = (3 3/4 ft)(3 ft)(3 1/4 ft)

  = LWH

That is, the "packing cubes method" is simply a rearrangement of the volume formula product using the commutative and associative properties of multiplication. The same numbers are used to compute the product, but in a different order. Hence the result must be the same.

A bicycle shop owner offers five styles of mountain bikes for $450, $275, $675, $490, and $300. He wants to increase the mean price but keep the median price and range of prices the same. Suggest a new set of prices for the five styles

Answers

Answer:

275, 350, 450, 550, 675

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange in order

275, 300, 450, 490, 675

range 275 to 675

median 450

mean 438

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

Raise 300 to 350

Raise 490 to 550

New set of prices

275, 350, 450, 550, 675

range 275 to 675     same

median 450     same

mean 460    increased

Answer:

One set of prices could be: {275,300,450,600,675}

Another set could be: {275,300,450,600,675}

There are many other solutions possible.

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

Explanation:

A = {450, 275, 675, 490, 300}

B = {275, 300, 450, 490, 675}

Set A is the original set of values in the order they were given to you. Set B is the sorted version of set A from smallest to largest.

The mean is found by adding up the values and dividing by 5 (because there are five items in the set).

The mean is (275+300+450+490+675)/5 = 2190/5 = 438. The shopkeeper wants to increase the mean to something larger, but keep the median and range the same.

The median is the middle most number. In set B, we can see that is 450. So the median is 450. We want to keep the median the same at 450.

The range is the difference in min and max

range = max - min = 675-275 = 400

We want to keep the range at 400

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

There are a number of ways to increase the mean, while keeping the median and range the same.

Let's say we keep the min and max the same. In order to increase the mean, we need to increase the 490 (second largest value) to something larger. Let's bump that up to 600 for instance.

Recomputing the mean gets us

(275+300+450+600+675)/5 = 2300/5 = 460

The old mean was 438 and the new mean is now 460. The mean has increased. This is due to the larger price pulling on the mean to get the mean to increase.

The median is still 450 because it's still in the direct middle of set C

C = {275,300,450,600,675}

The range is still the same as well because we haven't changed the min and max.

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

So one possible set could be

C = {275,300,450,600,675}

We could also have

D = {275,400,450,500,675}

The difference is that the 300 bumped to 400, and the 600 dropped to 500. You should find that the median and range are the same, while the mean is 460.

There are many possible solutions here.

In a random sample of 150 customers of a high-speed internet provider, 63 said that their service had been interrupted one or more times in the past month. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of customers whose service was interrupted one or more times in the past month.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.3410, 0.4990".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values are:

[tex]n=150[/tex]

[tex]p=\frac{63}{150}[/tex]

  [tex]=0.42[/tex]

At 95% confidence interval,

C = 95%

z = 1.96

As we know,

⇒ [tex]E=z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

       [tex]=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.42\times 0.58}{150} }[/tex]

       [tex]=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2436}{150} }[/tex]

       [tex]=0.0790[/tex]

hence,

The confidence interval will be:

= [tex]p \pm E[/tex]

= [tex]0.42 \pm 0.079[/tex]

= [tex](0.3410,0.4990)[/tex]

Police response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received by the dispatcher and the time a patrol car radios that it has arrived at the scene. Over a long period of time, it has been determined that the police response time has a normal distribution with a mean of 9.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.3 minutes. For a randomly received emergency call, find the following probabilities. (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers to four decimal places.)

a. between 5 and 10 min
b. less than 5 min
c. more than 10 min

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.5447

b) 0.0228

c) 0.4325

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normal distribution with a mean of 9.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.3 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 9.6, \sigma = 2.3[/tex]

a. between 5 and 10 min

This is the p-value of Z when X = 10 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 5. So

X = 10

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{10 - 9.6}{2.3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.17[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.17[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5675

X = 5

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{5 - 9.6}{2.3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0228

0.5675 - 0.0228 = 0.5447 probability that a randomly received emergency call is between 5 and 10 minutes.

b. less than 5 min

p-value of Z when X = 5, which from item a), is 0.0228, so 0.0228 probability that a randomly received emergency call is of less than 5 minutes.

c. more than 10 min

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 10, which, from item a), is of 0.5675.

1 - 0.5675 = 0.4325

0.4325 probability that a randomly received emergency call is of more than 10 minutes.

A box has two balls, one white and one red. We select one ball, put it back in the box, and select a second ball (sampling with replacement). Find the probability of the following events:
a. Let F = the event of getting the white ball twice.
b. Let G = the event of getting two balls of different colors.
c. Let H = the event of getting white on the first pick.
d. Are F and G mutually exclusive?
e. Are G and H mutually exclusive?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the balls with the first letters

[tex]W =1[/tex]

[tex]R =1[/tex]

Solving (a): P(F) --- White balls twice

The event of F is:

[tex]F = \{(W,W)\}[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(F) = P(W) * P(W)[/tex]

[tex]P(F) = \frac{n(W)}{n} * \frac{n(W)}{n}[/tex]

[tex]P(F) = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]P(F) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solving (b): P(G) --- two different colors

The event of G is:

[tex]G = \{(W,R),(R,W)\}[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(G) = P(W) * P(R) + P(R) * P(W)[/tex]

[tex]P(G) = \frac{n(W)}{n} * \frac{n(R)}{n} + \frac{n(R)}{n} * \frac{n(W)}{n}[/tex]

[tex]P(G) = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]P(G) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(G) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Solving (c): P(H) --- White picked first

The event of H is:

[tex]H = \{(W,R),(W,W)\}[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(H) = P(W) * P(R) + P(W) * P(W)[/tex]

[tex]P(H) = \frac{n(W)}{n} * \frac{n(R)}{n} + \frac{n(W)}{n} * \frac{n(W)}{n}[/tex]

[tex]P(H) = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]P(H) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(H) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Solving (d): F and G, mutually exclusive?

We have:

[tex]F = \{(W,W)\}[/tex]

[tex]G = \{(W,R),(R,W)\}[/tex]

Check for common elements

[tex]n(F\ n\ G) = 0[/tex]

Hence, F and G are mutually exclusive

Solving (e): G and G, mutually exclusive?

We have:

[tex]G = \{(W,R),(R,W)\}[/tex]

[tex]H = \{(W,R),(W,W)\}[/tex]

Check for common elements

[tex]n(G\ n\ H) = 1[/tex]

Hence, F and G are not mutually exclusive

Problem 22

a)

The face cards are Jack, Queen, King. We have four copies of each.

There are 3*4 = 12 face cards total.

12/52 represents the probability of picking a face card.

4/52 represents the probability of picking an ace, since we have 4 aces out of 52 cards. We don't drop to 51 since we put the first card back.

Multiplying the fractions gives (12/52)*(4/52) = 48/2704 = 3/169

Answer: 3/169

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

b)

We do the same steps as before, but the 4/52 will be changed to 4/51. This is because the first card is not put back.

(12/52)*(4/51) = 48/2652 = 4/221

Answer: 4/221

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

Problem 23

a)

4/52 represents the probability of picking a '2', and it also represents the probability of picking a '10' if we put the first card back

(4/52)*(4/52) = 16/2704 = 1/169

Answer: 1/169

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

b)

We'll change the second instance of 4/52 into 4/51 because that first card isn't put back

(4/52)*(4/51) = 16/2652 = 4/663

Answer: 4/663

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

Problem 24

a)

4/52 = probability of picking an ace

12/52 = probability of picking a face card

4/52 = probability of picking '7'

Each denominator is 52 because we are putting the cards back

(4/52)*(12/52)*(4/52) = 192/140608 = 3/2197

Answer: 3/2197

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

b)

We do the same thing as before, but we decrease the denominator by 1 each time we pull out another card

(4/52)*(12/51)*(4/50) = 192/132600 = 8/5525

Answer: 8/5525

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

Problem 25

a)

The probability of picking a king is 4/52. This is the same whether we're on the first king, second or third. This is because we're putting the card back.

(4/52)*(4/52)*(4/52) = 64/140608 = 1/2197

Answer: 1/2197

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

b)

Now that the cards aren't put back, we'll have the denominators drop by 1 each time (52,51,50)

So the probability is

(4/52)*(4/51)*(4/50) = 64/132600 = 8/16575

Answers

Answer: Choice C) 31

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

Explanation:

The recursive rule

f(n+1)=f(n)-3

can be rearranged to

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

after adding 3 to both sides

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

Now let's say we plug in n = 3

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(3) = f(3+1)+3

f(3) = f(4)+3

f(3) = 22+3

f(3) = 25

Repeat for n = 2

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(2) = f(2+1)+3

f(2) = f(3)+3

f(2) = 25+3

f(2) = 28

Each time we keep adding 3 to get the previous term (since the original recursive rule says to subtract 3 to get the next term; we just go backwards of what the instructions say).

Lastly, we can find that f(1) = f(2)+3 = 28+3 = 31 making the answer to be choice C.

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at ( 7, 2) and a directrix at y = -2
y = ?

Answers

A parabola with an equation, y2 = 4ax has its vertex at the origin and opens to the right.
It's not just the '4' that is important, it's '4a' that matters.
This type of parabola has a directrix at x = -a, and a focus at (a, 0). By writing the equation as it is, the position of the directrix and focus are readily identifiable.
For example, y2 = 2.4x doesn't say a great deal. Re-writing the equation of the parabola as y2 = 4*(0.6)x tells us immediately that the directrix is at x = -0.6 and the focus is at (0.6, 0)
