where w represents the patient's weight in pounds, and
d represents the dosage required in milligrams (mg).
a. Under the function equation above, label the meaning of the variables d and w.
b. Evaluate 2w-60 when w-140.
d=2w-60
C.

When w 175, the value of 2w-60 is 290. Explain what this means in the context of this
function. In other words, what does this tell you about the patient and this medicine?
d. Evaluate 2w-60 when w-25. Explain what this means in the context of this function.
e. Your patient was prescribed 260 mg of Slumbertec by another doctor. What would you guess was
the patient's weight at the time when the prescription was written?

Answers

Answer 1

a. The meaning of the variables are:

w = weightd = dosage

b. Evaluating 2w-60 when w =140. d = 220 mg

c.  Evaluate 2w-60 when w= 175, d = 290 mg

This means that for a weight of 175 pounds the dose is 290 mg

d. Evaluate 2w-60 when w = 25. d = -10 mg

Explanation: This means the drug is not recommended for patients weighing 25

e. Evaluate 2w-60 when d = 260 mg

At the time of prescription the patient was weighing 160 pounds

Given data

d=2w-60

where:

w = weight

d = dosage

How to find the the required variable in the options

a. label the meaning of the variables

w = weight

d = dosage

b. Evaluate 2w-60 when w = 140,

d=2w-60

d = 2 * 140 - 60

d = 220

c.  Evaluate 2w-60 when w= 175

d=2w-60

d = 2 * 175 - 60

d = 290

This means that for a weight of 175 pounds the dosage is 290 mg

d. Evaluate 2w-60 when w = 25

d=2w-60

d = 2 * 25 - 60

d = -10

Explanation: This means the drug is not recommended for patients weighing 25

e. Evaluate 2w-60 when d = 260

260 = 2w - 60

2w = 260 + 60

2w = 320

w = 160

At the time of prescription the patient was weighing 160 pounds

Joshua Vermier of Sacramento, California, received a raise after his first year on the job to $45,400 from his initial salary of $42,800. What was Joshua’s raise stated as a percentage? Inflation averaged 2.4 percent for the year. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answers

1. Joshua's raise stated as a percentage is 6.1%.

2. When inflation is factored in, Joshua's raise reduces to 3.7%

What is a percentage?

A percentage is the ratio of a variable when compared to the whole.

Percentages are expressed over 100, like ratios, probabilities, and proportions.

Data and Calculations:

Initial salary on the job = $42,800

New salary after the raise = $45,400

The salary increase in dollars = $2,600 ($45,400 - $42,800)

The salary increase in percentage = 6.1% ($2,600/$42,800 x 100)

Inflation rate = 2.4%

The real increase in salary = 3.7% (6.1 - 2.4%).

Thus, Joshua’s raise stated as a percentage is 6.1%.

if the midpoint of line AB is (4,4) and the coordinates of A is (2,1) what is the coordinates if B

Answers

The required coordinate of b is given as (6, 7 ).

To find out the coordinate of b  if M is the midpoint of AB. A(1, -4) and M(-3 ,0).

What is the midpoint?

The midpoint is that point the line whose length from both the ends of the line is equal.

Here,

We have coordinates of two points i.e. A(1, -4) and M(-3, 0).

Definition of midpoint says,

x = [x₁ +  x₂] / 2 ; y = [y₁ + y₂] / 2

x₁ = 2, x = 4 , y₁ = -1, y = 4

now,

4 = [2 + x₂] / 2 ; 4 = [1 + y₂] / 2

x₂ = 8 - 2         ; y₂ = 8 - 1

x₂ = 6               : y₂ = 7

Thus, the coordinate of b is given as (8, 7 ).

A real estate company is interested in the ages of home buyers. They examined the ages of thousands of home buyers and found that the mean age was 45 years old, with a standard deviation of 10 years. Suppose that these measures are valid for the population of all home buyers. Complete the following statements about the distribution of all ages of home buyers.

According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 56% of the home buyer's ages lie between __ years and __ years. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number)

According to Chevyshev's theorem, at least what percent of the home buyers' age lie between 25 years and 65 years.

Answers

Using Chebyshev's Theorem, it is found that:

At least 56% of the home buyer's ages lie between 30 years and 60 years.At least 75% of the home buyers' age lie between 25 years and 65 years.

What does Chebyshev’s Theorem state?

When the distribution is not normal, Chebyshev's Theorem is used. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]P = 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].

For the first item, we first have to find k when P = 56, hence:

[tex]56 = 100\left(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}\right)[/tex]

[tex]1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}} = 0.56[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{k^2} = 0.44[/tex]

k² = 1/0.44

k = sqrt(1/0.44)

k = 1.5.

Within 1.5 standard deviations, hence the bounds are:

45 - 1.5 x 10 = 30 years old.45 + 1.5 x 10 = 60 yards old.

Hence:

According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 56% of the home buyer's ages lie between 30 years and 60 years.

25 and 65 years are both 2 standard deviations from the mean, hence:

At least 75% of the home buyers' age lie between 25 years and 65 years.

If we have a set of N elements, the number of different combinations of K elements (such that K is equal to or smaller than N) of those N elements is given by:

N = 15

K = 7

Replacing these values in the above formula we will get the possible combinations of bonsais.

C(15, 7) = 15!/( (15 - 7)!*7!) = 15!/( 8!*7!) = (15*14*13*12*11*10*9)/(7*6*5*4*3*2*1) =  6,435

A finance magazine did a survey and found that the average American family spends $1,600 on a summer vacation. If the distribution is normal with standard deviation $411, find the amount a family would have spent to be the 80th percentile.

Answers

Answer:

$1,945.91

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount a family would have spent to be at the 80th percentile, we can use the normal distribution.

If a continuous random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ and variance σ², it is written as:

[tex]\boxed{X \sim\text{N}(\mu,\sigma^2)}[/tex]

Given that the average spending on a summer vacation is $1,600 and the standard deviation is $411:

Mean μ = $1,600Standard deviation σ = $411

We need to convert the problem to the standard normal distribution by calculating the z-score.

The z-score represents the number of standard deviations a data point is away from the mean. To find the z-score corresponding to the 80th percentile, we need to find the critical value or z-score that corresponds to an area of 0.80 under the standard normal curve.

Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, the z-score corresponding to an area of 0.80 is 0.84162084...

Next, we use the formula for the z-score:

[tex]\boxed{z = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}}[/tex]

where z is the z-score, x is the data point, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

Substitute z = 0.84162084..., μ = 1600, σ = 411 into the z-score formula:

[tex]0.84162084... = \dfrac{x - 1600}{411}[/tex]

Solving for x:

[tex]x=1945.90616...[/tex]

Therefore, a family would have spent approximately $1,945.91 to be at the 80th percentile of spending on a summer vacation.

Answer:

$1,945.03

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount a family would have spent to be at the 80th percentile, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to the 80th percentile and then use that z-score to calculate the corresponding amount.

First, we find the z-score using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator:

z = InvNorm(0.8) ≈ 0.8416

Next, we use the formula for transforming a z-score to a raw score:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the raw score, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

Substituting the given values and solving for x, we get:

0.8416 = (x - 1600) / 411

x - 1600 = 0.8416 * 411

x - 1600 = 345.0256

x = 1945.0256

Therefore, a family would have spent about $1,945.03 to be at the 80th percentile.

You must take care of the deposit, this is your good faith commitment to the rental car. In addition, you may have to pay a deposit based on your credit, and the acquisition fee is what you would pay a broker or dealer to get the car to you if you wanted it from somewhere else.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a graph of two lines, you want the number of solutions to the system of equations the lines represent.

Solution

The graph of an equation represents all of the points that satisfy that equation. When a system of equations has more than one equation, the set of points that satisfies all of the equations is the set of points where the graphs intersect (overlap) each other.

Here, the two straight lines intersect at exactly one point: (-2, 1). That one point represents the only solution to the system of equations.
