Rita makes and sells necklaces. The materials to make each necklace cost $2.75. Last week she made 8 necklaces and wants to make a total profit of $78. Using the equation 8 (x + 2.75) = 78, Rita determined that she needs to sell each necklace for $7 to make a total profit of $78. Which error did Rita make?

Although she has the correct equation, she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
Although she has the correct solution, she should have used the equation 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78.
The equation should be 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
The equation should be StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $75.25.

Answer:

  The equation should be 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contribution margin of each necklace is the difference between its selling price (x) and its cost (2.75). Then the total profit from 8 necklaces would be ...

  8(x -2.75)

If Rita wants that profit to be $78, then she needs to solve the equation ...

  8(x -2.75) = 78 . . . . correct equation

The solution is ...

  x -2.75 = 9.75 . . . . divide by 8

  x = 12.50 . . . . . . . . add 2.75

She needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.

Find the P-value for testing H0 : μ ≥ 0.6 versus H1 : μ < 0.6.



P-value =

Answers

The p-value for the test hypothesis is of 0.4681.

How to find the p-value of the test?

We are working with proportions in this problem, hence the z-distribution is used, first we find the test statistic, and then with the test statistic, we find the p-value.

The test statistic is given according to the following rule:

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

In which the parameters of the formula are described as follows:

[tex]\overline{p}[/tex] is the sample proportion.p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.n is the sample size.

In the context of this problem, the values of these parameters are given by:

[tex]p = 0.6, \overline{p} = 0.595, n = 68[/tex]

Hence the test statistic is given by:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.595 - 0.6}{\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{68}}}[/tex]

z = -0.08

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, the p-value is of 0.4681.

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values

In order to determine the values, these symbols are also subjected to various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division arithmetic operations.

Given:

We given C gives the cost, in dollars, to shred w pounds of confidential documents of a company.

Also, the modeled equation :C’(500)=80

which shows that for 500 pounds of documents, the cost is increasing at a rate of $80 dollars/pound.

Hence, one pound costs $80.

How do you do this question?

Answers

Answer:

(a) y = ¼ sin(x² + C)

(b) y = ¼ sin(x²)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) dy/dx = ½ x √(1 − 16y²)

dy / √(1 − 16y²) = ½ x dx

4 dy / √(1 − 16y²) = 2x dx

sin⁻¹(4y) = x² + C

4y = sin(x² + C)

y = ¼ sin(x² + C)

(b) When x=0, y=0.

0 = ¼ sin(C)

C = 0

y = ¼ sin(x²)

Step-by-step explanation:

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

What this is saying is it is taking the cubed root (which is like a square root, except it is using a 3 instead of 2) of x to the power of 10 divided by 64.

The equation is also saying:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt[3]{x^{10} }}{\sqrt[3]{64} }[/tex]

We can simplify the bottom half of the fraction to be 4. The cube root of something is essentially saying its the number times itself 3 times (in this case, divided by that original number). The number to get to 64 was 4 and it was done like this: 4 times 4 times 4 (which equals 64).

As for the top equation, it will simplify down to [tex]x^{3} \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex].

Since [tex]x^{10}[/tex] can be broken up to be x and [tex]x^{9}[/tex], we cube root the [tex]x^{9}[/tex] to become [tex]x^{3}[/tex], while the x remains the same.

We come to result of [tex]\frac{x^{3}\sqrt[3]{x} }{4}[/tex], which is the answer.
