7 (2 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction). 7 (2 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction). 14 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction. 14 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction

Answers

Answer 1

The error Giovanna made in her calculation is multiplying 7 by 2 and adding with 5/8(step 3)

Fraction

Her calculation:

7 (2 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction): 7(2 5/8)

7 (2 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction): 7(2 + 5/8)

14 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction: 14 + 5/8

14 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction: 14 5/8

Her error was multiplying 7 by 2 and adding with 5/8(step 3)

Correct calculation:

7(2 + 5/8)

= 14 + 35/8

= (112+35) /8

What is the probability that a simple random sample of 45 unemployed individuals will provide a sample mean within 1 week of the population mean

Answers

The probability that a simple random sample of 45 unemployed individuals will provide is 0.7372

Here, μ = 17.5, σ = 0.8944, x1 = 16.5 and x2 = 18.5.

We need to compute P(16.5<= X <= 18.5).

The corresponding z-value is calculated using Central Limit Theorem.

z = (x - μ)/σ

z1 ⇒ (16.5 - 17.5)/0.8944 = -1.12

z2 ⇒ (18.5 - 17.5)/0.8944 = 1.12

Therefore, we get

P(16.5 <= X <= 18.5) = P((18.5 - 17.5)/0.8944) <= z <= (18.5 - 17.5)/0.8944)

⇒ P(-1.12 <= z <= 1.12) = P(z <= 1.12) - P(z <= -1.12)

⇒ 0.8686 - 0.1314 = 0.7372

The principal limit theorem states that if you have a population with imply μ and trendy deviation σ and take sufficiently huge random samples from the populace with alternative, then the distribution of the pattern method may be about usually distributed.

The relevant limit theorem (CLT) states that the distribution of pattern manner approximates a normal distribution as the pattern size gets larger, regardless of the population's distribution. sample sizes identical to or extra than 30 are often considered enough for the CLT to preserve.

Answers

The expected value on playing this game is -5/36.

Given: 2 gold marbles, 9 silver marbles, and 24 black marbles.If it is gold, you win $3. If it is silver, you win $2. If it is black, you lose $1.

To find: Expected value on playing the game

Chance of occurrence of  gold = 1/36

Chance of occurrence of silver = 9/36

Chance of occurrence of  black = 26/36

On multiplying the given probability of occurence with the amount you would lose or win

if Ben has 10.4L of deride and Madison has 940 cal of diesel how much does the pair have altogether

Answers

Based on the calculations, the total volume which the pair have altogether is equal to 19.8 Liters.

How to calculate the total volume?

In Science, volume is a unit of measurement which indicates the capacity of a container and it has the following units:

Liters (L)Centiliter (cL)Cubic meter (m³)

Next, we would convert the volume of Madison's diesel in centiliter to liter as follows:

1 centiliter = 0.01 liter

940 centiliter = X liter

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = 940 × 0.01

X = 9.4 L.

Total volume = 9.4 + 10.4

Total volume = 19.8 Liters.

Let's take this problem step by step:

To find the rate of change is essentially like finding a line's slope:

 ⇒ the x-values are the number of sodas

 ⇒ the y-values are the total costs

              ⇒ choose two sets of coordinates and find the slope

Let's put that into action

Choose any two points

        ⇒ (24, 18)

        ⇒ (28, 21)

Calculate Slope

        [tex]Rate_.of_.change = \frac{21-18}{28-24} =\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Since the rate of change is total cost over number of sodas

An open-top rectangular box with square base is to be made from 100 square feet of material, as shown.


What is the largest possible volume of the box?

Answers

The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³

How to maximize volume of a box?

Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).

Let h be the height of the box.

The surface area of the box is;

S = b² + 4bh

We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;

b² + 4bh = 100

h = (100 - b²)/4b

Volume of the box in terms of b will be;

V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b

V(b) = 25b - b³/4

The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;

dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4

25 - 3b²/4 = 0

√(100/3) = b

b = 5.77 ft

Thus;

h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)

h = 2.8885 ft

Thus;

Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885

Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³

Answers

Home is 0.6 miles away from the store

How to solve such time related questions?

The key concept for solving such questions is the relationship between speed, distance and time.

The relationship between them is Distance = Speed x Time

Given:-

Total time taken by girl to complete the trip = 15 minutes = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours

Speed while riding going = 6 miles per hour

Speed while coming back = 4 miles per hour

Total time taken by girl  =

Time taken while going +   Time taken while coming back      - (1)

  Let x be distance from home to store

       [tex]\frac{x}{6}[/tex] =  Time taken while going

[tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex] = Time taken while coming back

    Substituting in (1) we get

      [tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{4}[/tex]

      [tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2x + 3x}{12}[/tex]

       [tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5x}{12}[/tex]

      [tex]x= \frac{12}{20}[/tex]

Lizette wanted to see if it would be possible to use a little less materials in a tea infuser but still not be required to be at full capacity. Her rectangular pyramidal tea infuser would be 7 cm high, 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. The tea infuser from the example, was the same except 7.9 cm high and was filled to 80% capacity.

Would these dimensions work, if so to what percent would Lizette's infusers have to be filled to use the same amount of tea?

Answers

The percentage that the infuser will have to be filled to use the same amount of tea will be 90.23%.

How to calculate the percentage?

The infuser for Lizeete is 7 cm high, 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. The volume will be:

= 7 × 3 × 1.5

= 31.5cm³

The tea infuser from the example, was the same except 7.9 cm high. Therefore, the volume will be:

= 7.9 × 3 × 1.5

= 35.5

Since it was filed to 80%, this will be:

= 80% × 35.5

= 31.5cm³

Therefore, the dimensions will work and the percentage to use the same amount of tea will be:

= 28.44/31.5 × 100

= 90.23%

If f(x) and g(x) are polynomial functions, what is the domain of f(x) + g(x) ? If we run the following program:a = 2 + 6b = 7 % 3c = a - bc = c * 5print(c)what gets printed? 12 Read the passage from The Grapes of WrathJoed said, "Sure, I remember you.
