How many additional teachers will have to be hired to reduce the ratio to 1:20
Answer:
30 additional teachers will have to be hired to reduce the ratio to 1:20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Jefferson School has 1800 students, and the teacher-pupil ratio is 1:30, to determine how many additional teachers will have to be hired to reduce the ratio to 1:20, the following calculation must be performed:
30 = 1800
1 = X
1800/30 = X
60 = X
20 = 1800
1 = X
1800/20 = X
90 = X
90 - 60 = 30
Therefore, 30 additional teachers will have to be hired to reduce the ratio to 1:20.

8 classes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Least = 2403[/tex]
[tex]Highest = 11998[/tex]
[tex]n = 225[/tex]
Required
The number of class
To calculate the number of class, the following must be true
[tex]2^k > n[/tex]
Where k is the number of classes
So, we have:
[tex]2^k > 225[/tex]
Take logarithm of both sides
[tex]\log(2^k) > \log(225)[/tex]
Apply law of logarithm
[tex]k\log(2) > \log(225)[/tex]
Divide both sides by log(2)
[tex]k > \frac{\log(225)}{\log(2)}[/tex]
[tex]k > 7.8[/tex]

Put the equation y = x^2- 14x + 48 into the form y = (x-h)^2+k
please help me!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
[tex]y=(x-7)^2-1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to convert the equation:
[tex]\displaystyle y=x^2-14x+48[/tex]
Into vertex form, given by:
[tex]\displaystyle y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]
Where a is the leading coefficient and (h, k) is the vertex.
There are two methods of doing this. We can either: (1) use the vertex formulas or (2) complete the square.
Method 1) Vertex Formulas
Let's use the vertex formulas. First, note that the leading coefficient a of our equation is 1.
Recall that the vertex is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Vertex}=\left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]
In this case, a = 1, b = -14, and c = 48. Find the x-coordinate of the vertex:
[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{(-14)}{2(1)}=7[/tex]
To find the y-coordinate, substitute this value back into the equation. Hence:
[tex]y=(7)^2-14(7)+48=-1[/tex]
Therefore, our vertex (h, k) is (7, -1), where h = 7 and k = -1.
And since we already determined a = 1, our equation in vertex form is:
[tex]\displaystyle y=(x-7)^2-1[/tex]
Method 2) Completing the Square
We can also complete the square to acquire the vertex form. We have:
[tex]y=x^2-14x+48[/tex]
Factor out the leading coefficient from the first two terms. Since the leading coefficient is one in this case, we do not need to do anything significant:
[tex]y=(x^2-14x)+48[/tex]
Now, we half b and square it. The value of b in this case is -14. Half of -14 is -7 and its square is 49.
We will add this value inside the parentheses. Since we added 49 inside the parentheses, we will also subtract 49 outside to retain the equality of the equation. Hence:
[tex]y=(x^2-14x+49)+48-49[/tex]
Factor using the perfect square trinomial and simplify:
[tex]y=(x-7)^2-1[/tex]
We acquire the same solution as before, with the vertex being (7, -1).

You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck.
a) Find the odds in favor of getting a red king.
b) Find the odds against getting a red king.
Answer:
(a)So, there are 2 kings in red- one of hearts and the other of diamonds. Therefore, the probability of selecting a red king from a deck of cards= 2/52 or 1/26.
(b) There are 6 red face cards in a 52-card deck (so 46 other cards). PROBABILITIES compare the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes: The PROBABILITY of getting a red face card is 6/52 = 3/26.
The odds in favor of getting a red king will be 1/26. And the odds against getting a red king will be 25/26.
What is probability?Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.
You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck.
Total events = 52
The odds in favor of getting a red king will be
Favorable events = 2
Then the probability will be
P = 2/52
P = 1/26
The odds against getting a red king will be
q = 1 – P
q = 1 – 1/26
q = 25/26

1 Find the value of C to that the function probability density function defined as follow, also calculate the man and variance /4
X -1 0 1
f(x) 3c 3c 6c
Answer:
[tex]c = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]
The mean of the distribution is 0.25.
The variance of the distribution is of 0.6875.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability density function:
For it to be a probability function, the sum of the probabilities must be 1. The probabilities are 3c, 3c and 6c, so:
[tex]3c + 3c + 6c = 1[/tex]
[tex]12c = 1[/tex]
[tex]c = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]
So the probability distribution is:
[tex]P(X = -1) = 3c = 3\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = 3c = 3\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = 6c = 6\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]
Mean:
Sum of each outcome multiplied by its probability. So
[tex]E(X) = -1(0.25) + 0(0.25) + 1(0.5) = -0.25 + 0.5 = 0.25[/tex]
The mean of the distribution is 0.25.
Variance:
Sum of the difference squared between each value and the mean, multiplied by its probability. So
[tex]V^2(X) = 0.25(-1-0.25)^2 + 0.25(0 - 0.25)^2 + 0.5(1 - 0.25)^2 = 0.6875[/tex]
The variance of the distribution is of 0.6875.

===============================================
Explanation:
It might help to draw out the picture as shown below. The pool itself (just the water only) is the inner rectangle. The outer rectangle is the pool plus the border of those 1 by 1 tiles.
The pool is a rectangle 90 feet by 80 feet. If we add on the tiles, then we get a larger rectangle that is 90+2 = 92 feet by 80+2 = 82 feet.
We add on 2 since we're adding two copies of "1" on either side of each dimension.
The larger rectangle's area is 92*82 = 7544 square feet
The smaller rectangle's area is 90*80 = 7200 square feet
The difference in areas is 7544-7200 = 344 square feet.
Each 1 by 1 tile is of area 1*1 = 1 sq foot, meaning that 344 tiles will get us the 344 square foot border around the pool.
Give an example of a function with both a removable and a non-removable discontinuity.
Answer:
(x+5)(x-3) / (x+5)(x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
A removeable discontinuity is always found in the denominator of a rational function and is one that can be reduced away with an identical term in the numerator. It is still, however, a problem because it causes the denominator to equal 0 if filled in with the necessary value of x. In my function above, the terms (x + 5) in the numerator and denominator can cancel each other out, leaving a hole in your graph at -5 since x doesn't exist at -5, but the x + 1 doesn't have anything to cancel out with, so this will present as a vertical asymptote in your graph at x = -1, a nonremoveable discontinuity.

What type of line is PQ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯?
Answer:
median
Step-by-step explanation:
Q is at the midpoint of RS and so PQ is a median
A median is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
We want to define what type of line is PQ (the line that passes through points P and Q) by looking at the given image, one can easily see that the line PQ is a median, now let's explain why.
First, let's analyze the image:
In the image, we can see that P is one vertex of the triangle, and Q is the midpoint of the segment RS (you can see that RQ = 4 and QS = 4) , where R and S are the other two vertexes of the triangle.
Particularly, we can define a median of a triangle as the line that passes through the midpoint of one side of the triangle and by the vertex that does not belong to that side.
With that definition, we can see that PQ is a median because Q is the midpoint of one side of the triangle and P is the vertex that does not belong to that side.

x-2+x+x+2=-213
3x=-213
x=-71
The integers are -69, -71, and -73
Answer:
-73,-71,-69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent an odd interger
Odd intergers are serpated by the value of 2 so let the three consective intergers be represented by
[tex](x )+ (x + 2) +( x + 4)[/tex]
Set that equation equal to 213.
[tex]x + x + 2 + x + 4 = - 213[/tex]
[tex]3x + 6 = - 213[/tex]
[tex]3x = - 219[/tex]
[tex]x = - 73[/tex]
Plug -73 in the consective intergers expression.
[tex] - 73 + ( - 73 + 2) + ( - 73 + 4)[/tex]
So our three intergers are
[tex] - 73[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
18 : 6 = 3
therefore, x : 3 has to equal 3.
X : 3 = 3
X = 3 × 3
X = 9
To verify:
18 : 6 = 9 : 3
3 = 3
It's true that X = 9, so now just replace the X with 9 in the next equation
5 + 3(9) = 32
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
18 : 6 = x : 3
Product of means = Product of extremes
6 * x = 3*18
x = [tex]\frac{3*18}{6}[/tex]
x = 3*3
x = 9
Now plugin x = 9 in the expression
5 + 3x = 5 + 3*9

Industrial Designs has been awarded a contract to design a label for a new wine produced by Lake View Winery. The company estimates that 110 hours will be required to complete the project. The firm's three graphic designers available for assignment to this project are Lisa, a senior designer and team leader; David, a senior designer; and Sarah, a junior designer. Because Lisa has worked on several projects for Lake View Winery, management specified that Lisa must be assigned at least 40% of the total number of hours assigned to the two senior designers. To provide label designing experience for Sarah, the junior designer must be assigned at least 15% of the total project time. However, the number of hours assigned to Sarah must not exceed 25% of the total number of hours assigned to the two senior designers. Due to other project commitments, Lisa has a maximum of 50 hours available to work on this project. Hourly wage rates are $30 for Lisa, $25 for David, and $18 for Sarah. (a) Formulate a linear program that can be used to determine the number of hours each graphic designer should be assigned to the project to minimize total cost (in dollars). (Assume L is the number of hours Lisa is assigned to the project, D is the number of hours David is assigned to the project, and S is the number of hours Sarah is assigned to the project.)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
L numbers of hours assigned to Lisa
D numbers of hours assigned to David
S numbers of hours assigned to Sara
Objective Function to minimize:
z = 30*L + 25*D + 18*S
Constraints:
Total time available
L + D + S ≤ 110
Lisa experience
L ≥ 0.4 * ( L + D ) then L ≥ 0.4*L + 0.4*D
0.6*L - 0.4*D ≥ 0
To provide designing experience to Sara
S ≥ 0.15*110 then S ≥ 16.5
Time for Sara
S ≤ 0.25 * ( L + D ) S ≤ 0.25*L + 0.25*D or -0.25*L - 0.25*D + S ≤0
Availability of Lisa
L ≤ 50
The Model is:
z = 30*L + 25*D + 18*S to minimize
Subject to:
L + D + S ≤ 110
0.6*L - 0.4*D ≥ 0
S ≥ 16.5
-0.25*L - 0.25*D + S ≤0
L ≤ 50
L ≥ 0 ; D ≥ 0 , S ≥ 0
After 6 iterations optimal ( minimum ) solution is:
z (min) = 2079
L = 26 D = 39.6 S = 16.5
The formula that can be used to determine the number of hours each graphic designer should be assigned to the project to minimize the total cost is z = 30L + 25D + 18S and the minimum z is 2079.

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
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.
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]
A statistician calculates that 7% of Americans are vegetarians.
This means that [tex]p = 0.07[/tex]
Sample of 403 Americans
This means that [tex]n = 403[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.07[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.07*0.93}{403}} = 0.0127[/tex]
What is the probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?
Proportion below 7 - 3 = 4% or above 7 + 3 = 10%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, which means that we find one of them, and multiply by 2.
Probability the proportion is below 4%
p-value of Z when X = 0.04.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.04 - 0.07}{0.0127}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0091
2*0.0091 = 0.0182
0.0182 = 1.82% probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%.
