A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The large boxes weigh 50 pounds each, and the small boxes weigh 35 pounds each. There are 115 boxes in all. If the truck is carrying a total of 5000 pounds in boxes, how many of each type of box is it carrying?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:

  Let x = number of large boxes

       y = number of small boxes

 

 "There are 115 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 115      [eq1]

 

Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:

    (pounds per box)*(number of boxes)

 

So,

  pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4125 pounds

                 "the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes"

 

        (50)*(x)                   +              (25)*(y)                  = 4125    [eq2]

 

It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables.

 

Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2.  Let's solve for x:

   x = 115 - y          [from eq1]

 

    50(115-y) + 25y = 4125             [from eq2]

     5750 - 50y  + 25y = 4125           [distribute]

     5750 - 25y = 4125

      -25y = -1625

         y = 65             [divide both sides by (-25)]

 

 There are 65 small boxes.

 

Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:

  x = 115 - y

  x = 115 - 65

  x = 50

 

  There are 50 large boxes.

 

Check (very important):

 

Is   50+65 = 115   ?       [eq1]

         115 = 115   ?yes

Is  50(50) + 25(65) = 4125   ?

     2500 + 1625 = 4125   ?

       4125 = 4125   ? ye

Answer:

(Missing part of the question is attached)

[tex]L(x)=2x+3[/tex]

Estimates are too large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the only information we know about the function is:

[tex]f(1)=5[/tex]

where the graph of its derivative is shown in the attachment

(a)

If the function [tex]f\\[/tex] is differentiable at point [tex]x=1[/tex] , the tangent line to the graph of [tex]f[/tex] at 1 is given by the equation:

[tex]y=f(1) +f'(1)(x-1)[/tex]

So we call the linear function:

[tex]L(x)=f(1) +f'(1)(x-1)[/tex]

We know the [tex]f(1)=5[/tex] as it is given in the question, and [tex]f'(1)=2[/tex] from the graph attached. Substitute in the equation of [tex]L(x)[/tex].

[tex]L(x)=5+2(x-1)\\L(x)=5+2x-2\\L(x)=2x+3\\[/tex]

(b)

At x=1,  [tex]f'(x)[/tex] is positive but it is decreasing. However. if we draw the tangent lines, we see that the tangent lines are becoming less steeper, so the tangent lines lie above the curve [tex]f[/tex]. Thus, The estimates are too large.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that they have a mean height greater than 71.9 inches

P(  x⁻ ≥71.9) =  0.0022

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given mean of the Population μ= 70.9

Standard deviation of the Populationσ = 2.1

Given sample size 'n' =36

let x⁻ be the mean height

given  x⁻ =71.9 inches

[tex]Z=\frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{71.9 -70.9}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{36} } } = \frac{1}{0.35} = 2.85[/tex]

The probability that they have a mean height greater than 71.9 inches

P(  x⁻ ≥71.9) = P(Z ≥ 2.85)

                    = 1 - P(Z≤ 2.85)

                   =  1 - ( 0.5 + A(2.85)

                   = 0.5 - A( 2.85)

Answer:

A. G(x) = [tex]x^2+7[/tex]

→For the function to shift upwards 7 units, 7 must be added to the function, like so:

G(x) = [tex]x^2+7[/tex]

→F(x) + c (in this case is 7), cases a vertical shift and the function is moved "c," units. The graph would shift downwards if 7 was being subtracted.

Suppose 90 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the​ balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normal​ curve, with mean 88 g and standard deviation 1 g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g.The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is:________

Answers

Answer:

The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 88g

Standard deviation = 1g

Percentage of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g

87 = 88-1

So 87 is one standard deviation below the mean.

89 = 88+1

So 89 is one standard deviation above the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of students are reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g.

Out of 90 students:

0.68*90 = 61.2

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is 61

Someone claims that the breaking strength of their climbing rope is 2,000 psi, with a standard deviation of 10 psi. We think the actual amount is lower than that and want to run the test at an alpha level of 5%. What would our sample size need to be if we want to reject the null hypothesis if the sample mean is at or below 1,997.2956?

Answers

Answer:

The sample size must be greater than 37 if we want to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that someone claims that the breaking strength of their climbing rope is 2,000 psi, with a standard deviation of 10 psi.

Also, we are given a level of significance of 5%.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean breaking strength of their climbing rope

SO, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 2,000 psi       {means that the mean breaking strength of their climbing rope is 2,000 psi}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 2,000 psi      {means that the mean breaking strength of their climbing rope is lower than 2,000 psi}

Now, the test statistics that we will use here is One-sample z-test statistics as we know about population standard deviation;

                         T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = ample mean strength = 1,997.2956 psi

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard devaition = 10 psi

            n = sample size

Now, at the 5% level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of -1.645 for the left-tailed test.

So, to reject our null hypothesis our test statistics must be less than -1.645 as only then we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.

SO,  T.S. < -1.645   {then reject null hypothesis}

         [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < -1.645[/tex]

         [tex]\frac{1,997.2956-2,000}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{n} } } < -1.645[/tex]

         [tex](\frac{1,997.2956-2,000}{10}) \times {\sqrt{n} } } < -1.645[/tex]

          [tex]-0.27044 \times \sqrt{n}< -1.645[/tex]

               [tex]\sqrt{n}> \frac{-1.645}{-0.27044}[/tex]

                 [tex]\sqrt{n}>6.083[/tex]

                  n > 36.99 ≈ 37.

SO, the sample size must be greater than 37 if we want to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step (i):-

Given random sample size ' n' = 250

Sample proportion 'p'

                                [tex]p= \frac{x}{n} = \frac{135}{250} = 0.54[/tex]

Given Population proportion  P = 0.5

                                       Q = 1-P = 1-0.5 =0.5

Null Hypothesis : H₀ : P = 0.5

Alternative Hypothesis : H₁ : P≥ 0.5

Step(ii):-

Test statistic

               [tex]Z = \frac{p - P}{\sqrt{\frac{PQ}{n} } }[/tex]

             [tex]Z = \frac{0.54-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5 X 0.5}{250} } }[/tex]

            Z  = 1.2903

Level of significance α = 0.05

Z₀.₀₅ = 1.96

The calculated value Z = 1.2903 < 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted at 0.05 level of significance

Step(iii):-

The probability of test statistic

P(Z > 1.2903) = 0.5 - A ( 1.2903)

What is the probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman? Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.1729 = 17.29% probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Given to a woman.

Event B: Masters degree.

21% were master’s degrees

This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.21[/tex]

Women earned 40% of masters

This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.4[/tex]

Probability of the degree being given to a women:

52% of 76%, 40% of 21% and 22% of 3%. So

[tex]P(A) = 0.52*0.76 + 0.4*0.21 + 0.22*0.03 = 0.4858[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.21*0.4}{0.4858} = 0.1729[/tex]

0.1729 = 17.29% probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman

Use conservation of linear momentum, which states that the momentum of the bullet (product of the bullet's mass times its speed) should equal in absolute value the momentum of the recoiling gun (its mass times its recoil velocity).

We also write the mass of the bullet in the same units as the mass of the gun (for example kilograms). Mass of the bullet = 0.010 kg

In mathematical terms, we have:

[tex]5\, kg * v= 0.01 \,kg\,* 360\,\frac{km}{h} \\v=\frac{0.01\,*360}{5} \,\,\frac{km}{h}\\v=0.72\,\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex]

% increase is 40 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the new amount and subtract the original amount

140-100 = 40

Divide by the original amount

40/100

.40

Multiply by 100 %

40%

The percent increase is 40%

The answer is 40%

1. Divide 40/100 and you will get 0.40
2. multiply 0.40 times 100 because of the 100%

Therefore, ur answer is 40%

Describe the rule for the sequence 2, 1, 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 1/7,...

Answers

Multiply 2 by 1/2 to get 1.

Multiply 1 by 2/3 to get 2/3.

Multiply 2/3 by 3/4 to get 6/12 = 1/2.

Multiply 1/2 by 4/5 to get 4/10 = 2/5.

Multiply 2/5 by 5/6 to get 10/30 = 1/3.

Multiply 1/3 by 6/7 to get 6/21 = 2/7. (I suspect there's a typo in the question.)

And so on, so that the nth term in the sequence is multiplied by n/(n + 1) to get the (n + 1)th term.

Recursively, the sequence is given by

[tex]\begin{cases}a_1=2\\a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}[/tex]

We can solve this exactly by iterating:

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}{n-1}\dfrac{n-3}{n-2}a_{n-3}=\cdots[/tex]

and so on down to

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot(n-3)\cdot\cdots\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{n\cdot(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot\cdots\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}a_1[/tex]

or

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)!}{n!}a_1[/tex]

and with lots of cancellation, we end up with

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{a_1}n=\boxed{\dfrac2n}[/tex]

Divide 2 by n.
