Statistics is the science that studies and develops methods for collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting empirical data. Statistics is the study and manipulation of data, which includes methods for gathering, reviewing,

analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Statistics is divided into two categories: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.

The primary goal of using statistics is to plan the data collected in terms of experimental designs and statistical surveys. Statistics is a mathematical science concerned with numerical data. In short, statistics is an important process that assists in making data-driven decisions.

[tex]cosec = \frac{2}{ \sqrt{3} } [/tex]

The length of the sides of the squares is 3 cm.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all four interior angles 90°.

Given that, the dimension of the rectangular tin piece is 40 cm by 50 cm.

Let the length of the sides of the square is x.

Then, the dimensions of the resulting rectangular base are (40 - 2x) by

(50 -2x).

Given that, the area of the resulting base is 1496 square cm.

Therefore, it follows:

(40 - 2x)(50 -2x) = 1496

2000 - 80x -100x + 4x² = 1496

4x² - 180x + 2000 -1496 = 0

4x² - 180x + 504 = 0

x² - 45x + 126 = 0

x² - 42x - 3x + 126 = 0

x(x- 42) - 3(x - 42) = 0

(x - 3)(x - 42) = 0

x-3 =0 or x - 42 = 0

x = 3 or x = 42

Note that the dimension of the rectangular tin piece is 40 cm by 50 cm, therefore, x = 42 cm cannot be the length of the square.

Hence, the length of the sides of the squares is 3 cm.

The equation most closely represents the line depicted in the graph is

f(x) = 60x − 160

An equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.

Given a point (4,80) and a slope, m = 60, these can be used to formulate the equation of the graph. Using the point-slope formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 80 = 60(x - 4)

y - 80 = 60x - 240

y = 60x -160

Taking the x and y-intercepts:

At y = 0

0 = 60x - 160

x = 2.7

At x = 0

y = 60(0) - 160

y = -160

Hence, you could state that there is a graph of a line that has a y intercept that is approximately negative $160 million and an x intercept that is approximately 2.7 years.

The probabilities are given as follows:

a. P(E or F) if E and F are disjoint: 0.9 = 90%.

b. P(E or F) if E and F are independent: 0.7 = 70%.

In a Venn probability, two events are related with each other, as are their probabilities.

The "or probability" is given by:

[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]

Disjoint events are events that cannot happen at the same time, hence P(E and F) = 0, and then the probability is:

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) = 0.4 + 0.5 = 0.9 = 90%.

When E and F are independent, we have that:

P(E and F) = P(E)P(F) = 0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2.

Hence the probability in item b is given by:

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E and F) = 0.4 + 0.5 - 0.2 = 0.7 = 70%.

The range of this quadratic function y = x² - 2x - 3 is all real numbers greater than 2.

Suppose we have an ordered pair (x, y) then the domain of the function is the set of values of x and the range is the set of values of y for which x  is defined.

We know a quadratic function y = ax² + bx + c is a graph of a parabola that opens upwards as the coefficient of x² is positive.

Given,  y = x² - 2x - 3.

y = x² - 3x + x - 3.

y = x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3).

y = (x - 3)(x + 1).

Now the x-intercepts are at 3 and -1 so the vertex is located at (3 - 1)/2 = 2.

So the range of this function is all real numbers greater than 2 as the parabola opens upwards.

Hope this helps! :)

The company's start-up cost is equal to $1/2530.

The company's minimum cost is equal to $15/37,949.

The number of gadgets that this company must produce and sell in order to incur the least cost is equal to 1/30 gadgets.

From the information provided, the cost C (in dollars) for a company to produce and sell x thousand gadgets is modeled by the following function:

Function, C = 1/(30x² − 2x + 2530)

Mathematically, the start-up cost for this company is equal to the total cost when no sales of its gadget has been made i.e the level of activity is at zero (x = 0). Therefore, we would substitute the value of x in the function with zero (0):

Start-up cost = 1/(30(0)² − 2(0) + 2530)

Start-up cost = $1/2530.

First of all, we would determine the number of gadgets that this company must produce and sell in order to incur the least cost by differentiating the function for the total cost using the quotient rule:

dC/dx = [(0(30x² − 2x + 2530) - 1(60x - 2))1/(30x² − 2x + 2530)²]

dC/dx = [(0 - 60x + 2)1/(30x² − 2x + 2530)²]

Equating the marginal cost function to zero, we have:

-60x + 2/(30x² − 2x + 2530)² = 0

-60x + 2 = 0

60x = 2

x = 2/60

x = 1/30 gadgets.

Now, we can determine the minimum cost:

Function, C = 1/(30x² − 2x + 2530)

Minimum cost = 1/(30(1/30)² − 2(1/30) + 2530)

Minimum cost = 1/(1/30 - 1/15 + 2530)

Minimum cost = 1/(-1/15 + 2530)

Minimum cost = 1/(37,949/15)

Minimum cost = $15/37,949

The ordering and transportation cost C for the components used in manufacturing a product is c= 100(200/x^2+ x/x+30), x≥1 where C is measured in thousands of dollars and x is the order size in hundreds.

To find the rate of change of C with respect to x when (a) x = 10, (b) x = 15, and (c) x = 20.

The rate of change of the cost with respect to x is its derivative.

The differentiation rules to apply are

Quotient Rule: [tex]\frac{d}{dx} \left[\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right] = \frac{g(x)f^{'}(x)-f(x)g^{'}(x)}{\left[g(x)]^{2} }[/tex]

Constant Multiple Rule: [tex]\frac{d}{dx} \left[cf(x) \right] = cf^{'}(x)[/tex]

Power Rule: [tex]\frac{d}{dx} \left[x^{n} \right] = nx^{n-1}[/tex]

Constant Rule: [tex]\frac{d}{dx} [c] = 0[/tex]

So,

[tex]c^{'}(x) = 100 (\frac{x^{2}(200)^{'}-200(x^{2})^{'}}{(x^{2})^{2} }+\frac{(x+30)(x)^{'}-x(x+30)^{'} }{(x+30)^{2} } )[/tex]

[tex]c^{'}(x) = 100 (\frac{x^{2}(0)-200(2x) }{x^{4} } + \frac{(x+30)(1)-x(1+0)}{(x+30)^{2} })[/tex]

[tex]c^{'}(x) = 100 (\frac{0-400x}{x^{4} } + \frac{x+30-x}{(x+30)^{2} })[/tex]

[tex]c^{'}(x) = 100 (\frac{-400x}{x^{4} } + \frac{30}{(x+30)^{2} })[/tex]

From the above values it appears that the rate of change of the cost increases as the size of the order increases

[tex]a) c^{'}(10) = -38.13\\ \\b) c^{'}(15) = -10.37\\ \\c) c^{'}(20) = -3.8[/tex]

Product of all four zeros = e/a = (-3×4×0×8)

= 0

So,  b = -9 , c =-36 , d = 96 and e = 0

Substituting value in equation (1),

Hence , the required polynomial = x⁴ -9x³ -36x²+96x

Factored form ,

x⁴ -9x³ -36x² +96x = 0

=> x(x³ - 9x² - 36x + 96) = 0

=> x(x+3)(x-4)(x-8) = 0

Answer:

HF ≈ 71.4

Step-by-step explanation:

since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{HF}{EC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{FG}{CD}[/tex] ( substitute values )

[tex]\frac{HF}{23}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{59}{19}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

19 HF = 1357 ( divide both sides by 19 )

HF ≈ 71.4 ( to the nearest tenth )

2 1/2 cups of milk does she need to make 6 batches of waffle mix.

Given:

A total of 12 waffles can be made from each batch of waffle mix.

Cynthia is making 6 batches for a breakfast board meeting. If the recipe requires 5/12 cups of milk for each batch.

Number of cups of milk required = number of batches*milk required for each batch.

= 6 * 5/12

= 30/12

= 15/6

= 5/2

= 2 1/2 cups.

Therefore 2 1/2 cups of milk does she need to make 6 batches of waffle mix.

Answer:

y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

From two points we can easily determine the slope, m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

You would put in the values into the equation.

m = (-9-(-9))/(-3-1) = 0/-4 = 0

Using the slope-intercept form, y = 0(x) + b ⇒ y = b

But we don't know what the y-intercept (b) is yet.  Using the point-slope form we can determine b.

Point-slope: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - (-9)) = 0(x - (-3))

y + 9 = 0

y = -9

So the equation is y = -9.
