Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: The population will be 408,000 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

So in 2000 there were 200,000 people and it started to grow 8% every year so up to 2013.

so find 8% of 200,000 and then multiply it by the  the number of years.

8% * 200,000 =  16,000

Find the difference between the years.

2013 - 2000 = 13 years

13 * 16000 = 208000  This is the amount of new people from 2000 to 2013 so add it to the original population.

208,000 + 200,000 = 408,000

Answer:

When x = 1 and z = 4,   [tex]y=\frac{80}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation described in the problem can be written using a constant of proportionality "b" as:

[tex]y=b\,\,x\,\,z^2[/tex]

The other piece of information is that when x = 5 and z = 1, then y gives 25/9. So we use this info to find the constant "b":

[tex]y=b\,\,x\,\,z^2\\\frac{25}{9} =b\,\,(5)\,\,(1)^2\\\frac{25}{9} =b\,\,(5)\\b=\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

Knowing this constant, we can find the value of y when x=1 and z=4 as:

[tex]y=b\,\,x\,\,z^2\\y=\frac{5}{9} \,\,x\,\,z^2\\y=\frac{5}{9} \,\,(1)\,\,(4)^2\\y=\frac{5*16}{9}\\y=\frac{80}{9}[/tex]

Answer:

the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question.

Let p be the length of the of the printed material

Let q be the width of the of the printed material

Therefore pq = 2400 cm ²

q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}[/tex]

To find the dimensions of the poster; we have:

the length of the poster to be p+30 and the width to be [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20[/tex]

The area of the printed material can now be:  [tex]A = (p+30)(\dfrac{2400 }{p} + 20)[/tex]

=[tex]2400 +20 p +\dfrac{72000}{p}+600[/tex]

Let differentiate with respect to p; we have

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dp}= 20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^3}[/tex]

Also;

[tex]\dfrac{d^2A}{dp^2}= \dfrac{144000}{p^3}[/tex]

For the smallest area [tex]\dfrac{dA}{dp }=0[/tex]

[tex]20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^2}=0[/tex]

[tex]p^2 = \dfrac{72000}{20}[/tex]

p² = 3600

p =√3600

p = 60

Since p = 60 ; replace p = 60 in the expression  q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}[/tex]   to solve for q;

q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}[/tex]

q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60}[/tex]

q = 40

Thus; the printed material has the length of 60 cm and the width of 40cm

the length of the poster = p+30 = 60 +30 = 90 cm

the width of the poster = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60} + 20[/tex]  = 40 + 20 = 60

Hence; the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

Answer:

The value 155 is zero standard deviations from the [population] mean, because [tex] \\ x = \mu[/tex], and therefore [tex] \\ z = 0[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The key concept we need to manage here is the z-scores (or standardized values), and we can obtain a z-score using the next formula:

[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [1]

Where

Carefully looking at [1], we can interpret it as the distance from the mean of a raw value in standard deviations units. When the z-score is negative indicates that the raw score, x, is below the population mean, [tex] \\ \mu[/tex]. Conversely, a positive z-score is telling us that x is above the population mean. A z-score is also fundamental when determining probabilities using the standard normal distribution.

For example, think about a z-score = 1. In this case, the raw score is, after being standardized using [1], one standard deviation above from the population mean. A z-score = -1 is also one standard deviation from the mean but below it.

These standardized values have always the same probability in the standard normal distribution, and this is the advantage of using it for calculating probabilities for normally distributed data.

A subject earns a score of 155. How many standard deviations from the mean is the value 155?

From the question, we know that:

Having into account all the previous information, we can say that the raw score, x = 155, is zero standard deviations units from the mean. The subject   earned a score that equals the population mean. Then, using [1]:

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

[tex] \\ z = \frac{155 - 155}{50}[/tex]

[tex] \\ z = \frac{0}{50}[/tex]

[tex] \\ z = 0[/tex]

As we say before, the z-score "tells us" the distance from the population mean, and in this case this value equals zero:  

[tex] \\ x = \mu[/tex]

Therefore

[tex] \\ z = 0[/tex]

So, the value 155 is zero standard deviations from the [population] mean.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P0(1+rt).

We know that A=$3,500,P0=$2,800 and r=7.5%=0.075, so we can rearrange the formula for A to get an explicit expression for t:

A=P0(1+rt)⟹t=A−P0P0r,

and substituting the known quantities gives

r=$3,500−$2,800$2,800×0.075=3.33,

which means, since the interest is paid annually, that she must wait four years for the total investment to exceed $3,500.

Answer:

  C

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of table A can be written as ...

  y = 100x -92

__

The function of table B can be written as ...

  y = 10x +446

__

The function of table C can be written as ...

  y = (5/3)·3^x

__

The function of table D can be written as ...

  y = 2x +413

__

The exponential function of Table C will have the largest y-values for any value of x greater than 6.

_____

Comment on the functions

When trying to determine the nature of the function, it is often useful to look at the differences of the y-values for consecutive x-values. Here, the first-differences are constant for all tables except C. That means functions A, B, D are linear functions.

If the first differences are not constant, one can look at second differences and at ratios. For table C, we notice that each y-value is 3 times the previous one. That constant ratio means the function is exponential, hence will grow faster than any linear function.

Answer:

a

  [tex]\frac{\delta E}{\delta m}= c^2 [\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } } -1 ][/tex]

b

       [tex]\frac{\delta E}{\delta V} = \frac{mc^3 v}{(c^2 - v^2 )^{\frac{3}{2} }}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given

            [tex]E = mc^2 [\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }- 1 ][/tex]

So we are asked to find  [tex]\frac{\delta E}{\delta m}[/tex]

Now  this is mathematically evaluated as

          [tex]\frac{\delta E}{\delta m} = \frac{\delta }{\delta m} [mc^2 ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } } -1 )][/tex]

               [tex]= c^2 [\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } } -1 ] \frac{\delta m}{\delta m}[/tex]

              [tex]= c^2 [\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } } -1 ][/tex]

Also we are asked to find  [tex]\frac{\delta E}{\delta V}[/tex]

    Now  this is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]\frac{\delta E}{\delta V} = \frac{\delta }{\delta v } [mc^2 ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } } - 1 )][/tex]

         [tex]\frac{\delta E}{\delta V} = mc^2 [\frac{\delta }{\delta v} (\frac{c}{\sqrt{c^2 -v^2} } - 1 )][/tex]

              [tex]= mc^2 [c* [\frac{\delta }{\delta v} (c^2 - v^2 )^{-\frac{1}{2} }] - 0][/tex]

             [tex]= mc^3 [- \frac{1}{2} (c^2 - v^2 )^{-\frac{3}{2} } * (-2v)][/tex]

             [tex]= \frac{mc^3 v}{(c^2 - v^2 )^{\frac{3}{2} }}[/tex]

Answer:

Rectangle C is 14 cm longer than B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x be the length of Rectangle A. Rectangle B is ¹/₅ longer than A Block B,

Therefore the length of rectangle B is:

[tex]x+\frac{1}{5}x[/tex]

Rectangle C is ¹/₃ longer than B, therefore the length of rectangle c is:

[tex]x+\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{3}(x+\frac{1}{5}x) =x+ \frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{15}x=x+\frac{9}{15}x[/tex]

The total length of all three rectangles is 133 cm.

Length of rectangle A + Length of rectangle B + Length of rectangle C = 133 cm

[tex]x+x+\frac{1}{5}x +x+\frac{9}{15}x=133\\x+x+x+\frac{1}{5}x +\frac{9}{15}x=133\\3x+\frac{12}{15}x=133\\ 45x+12x=1995\\57x=1995\\x=35cm[/tex]

Therefore the length of rectangle A is 35 cm, the length of rectangle B is [tex]35+\frac{1}{5}*35=42\ cm[/tex] and the length of rectangle C is [tex]35+\frac{9}{15}*35=56\ cm[/tex]

Rectangle C is ¹/₃ longer than B, which is 14 cm (42\3) longer than B

Answer:

24.99

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of the quarter circle is 38.465, then the equation to find this would be

3.14*r^2 / 4 = 38.465. we solve for r, the radius, and get two solutions. 7 and -7. Obviously the length of the radius can't be -7, so we know the radius is 7.

Now we must solve for the perimeter. The perimeter is equal to 2r + (2*3.14*r)/4

Plugging 7 in as the radius, r, we get 24.99 as our final answer.

Question:  

The physiological blind spot refers to a very small zone of functional blindness in the eye where the optic nerve passes through the retina. We do not notice it because our nervous system compensates for it. Can eye training reduce the size of a person's physiological blind spot? Researchers recruited a representative sample of 10 adults with normal vision. Each participant performed training exereises with one eye for three weeks. The size of the physiological blind spot was measured (in degrees of visual angle squared) with a motion detection task both prior to training and again after the training was completed. Which of the options is the response variable?

A) The size of the physiological blind spot

B) The number of adults.

C) The type of training exercises performed by each participant.

D) The size of the physiological blind spot.

E) The number of times an adult performed training exercises.

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

The response variable (when experimenting) is the variable or factor about which the researcher is concerned. It can also be (as the name entails) the variable which respond to changes in the experiment.  

The changes in the experiment is the training. The variable which the researcher is concerned about and which may or may not change with the introduction of training is the size of the physiological blind spot.

We have to find the reported happiness of person of family income of $25,000, $35,000 and $45,000

Given that the formula for finding relation between a people happiness and his income is

y = 0.065x - 0.613

a) find the happiness of person of family income os $25,000

we put x = 25 as in the equation above

[tex]y=0.065(25)-0.613\\\\=1.625-0.613\\\\=1.02 \approx 1[/tex]

Hence, person happiness with with family income of $25,000 on a scale of 3 is y = 1

That means they come under catergory "not to happy"

b) Find the happiness of person of family income os $35,000

we put x = 35 as in the equation above

[tex]y=0.065(35)-0.613\\\\=1.667-0.613\\\\=1.667 \approx 1.7[/tex]

Hence, person happiness with with family income of $35,000 on a scale of 3 is y = 1.7

That means they come under catergory "not to happy" and "fairly happy"

c) Find the happiness of person of family income os $45,000

we put x = 45 as in the equation above

[tex]y=0.065(45)-0.613\\\\=2.925-0.613\\\\=2.312 \approx 2.3[/tex]

Hence, person happiness with with family income of $45,000 on a scale of 3 is y = 2.3

That means they come under catergory  "fairly happy"

Answer:

Length = 550 m

Width = 275 m

Area = 151,250 m2

Step-by-step explanation:

One side of the farmland is bounded by the river, so the perimeter we will need to enclose is:

[tex]Perimeter = Length + 2*Width = 1100\ m[/tex]

And the area of the farmland is given by:

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

From the Perimeter equation, we have that:

[tex]Length = 1100 - 2*Width[/tex]

Using this in the area equation, we have:

[tex]Area = (1100 - 2*Width) * Width[/tex]

[tex]Area = 1100*Width - 2*Width^2[/tex]

Now, to find the largest area, we need to find the vertex of this quadratic equation, and we can do that using the formula:

[tex]Width = -b/2a[/tex]

[tex]Width = -1100/(-4)[/tex]

[tex]Width = 275\ m[/tex]

This width will give the maximum area of the farmland. Now, finding the length and the maximum area:

[tex]Length = 1100 - 2*Width = 1100 - 550 = 550\ m[/tex]

[tex]Area = Length * Width = 550 * 275 = 151250\ m2[/tex]

The probability that all 4 selected workers will be from the day shift is, = 0.0198

The probability that all 4  selected workers will be from the same shift is = 0.0278

The probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers is = 0.9722

The probability that at least one of the shifts will be unrepresented in the sample of workers is P(A∪B∪C) = 0.5257

To solve this question properly, we will need to make use of the concept of combination along with set theory.

In mathematical concept, Combination is the grouping of subsets from a set without taking the order of selection into consideration.  

The formula for calculating combination can be expressed as:

[tex]\mathbf{(^n _r) =\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)! }}[/tex]

From the parameters given:

A quality control consultant is to select 4 of these workers for in-depth interviews:

Using the expression for calculating combination:

(a)

The number of selections results in all 4 workers coming from the day shift is :

[tex]\mathbf{(^n _r) = (^{10} _4)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{(10!)}{4!(10-4)!}}[/tex]

= 210

The probability that all 5 selected workers will be from the day shift is,

[tex]\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {{\rm{all \ 4 \ selected \ workers\ will \ be \ from \ the \ day \ shift}}} \right) = \dfrac{{\left( \begin{array}{l}\\10\\\\4\\\end{array} \right)}}{{\left( \begin{array}{l}\\24\\\\4\\\end{array} \right)}}\\\end{array}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{210}{10626}} \\ \\ \\ \mathbf{= 0.0198}[/tex]

(b) The probability that all 4 selected workers will be from the same shift is calculated as follows:

P( all 4 selected workers will be) [tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{ \Big(^{10}_4\Big) }{\Big(^{24}_4\Big)}+\dfrac{ \Big(^{8}_4\Big) }{\Big(^{24}_4\Big)} + \dfrac{ \Big(^{6}_4\Big) }{\Big(^{24}_4\Big)}}[/tex]

where;

[tex]\mathbf{\Big(^{8}_4\Big) = \dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!} = 70}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\Big(^{6}_4\Big) = \dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = 15}[/tex]

P( all 4 selected workers is:)

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{210+70+15}{10626}}[/tex]

The probability that all 4 selected workers will be from the same shift is = 0.0278

(c)

The probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers can be computed as:

 [tex]= 1-\dfrac{ (^{10}_4) }{(^{24}_4)}+\dfrac{ (^{8}_4) }{(^{24}_4)} + \dfrac{ (^{6}_4) }{(^{24}_4)}[/tex]

[tex]=1 - \dfrac{210+70+15}{10626}[/tex]

= 1 - 0.0278

=  0.9722

The probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers is = 0.9722

(d)

The probability that at least one of the shifts will be unrepresented in the sample of workers is:

[tex]P(AUBUC) = \dfrac{(^{6+8}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+ \dfrac{(^{10+6}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+ \dfrac{(^{10+8}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}- \dfrac{(^{6}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}-\dfrac{(^{8}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}-\dfrac{(^{10}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+0[/tex]

The terminal side of an angle in standard position rotated one-sixth of a revolution counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.

The total degree in a complete rotation of a side is 360 degrees. The side is rotated 1/6. Thus the angle is rotated is,

[tex]\theta=\dfrac{1}{6}\times360\\\theta=60^o[/tex]

Multiply it with π/180 to find the measure of the angle in radian.

[tex]\theta=60\dfrac{\pi}{180}\\\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{3}\\[/tex]

Hence, the measure of the angle which is made by rotating a side as terminal side by one-sixth of a revolution counterclockwise is 60 degree and π/3 radian.

Answer:

a) H0:μ=55,000 H1:μ>55,000

b) Yes, since we can can reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For this case;

Null hypothesis is that the starting salary will be equal to $55,000/year.

H0:μ=55,000

Alternative hypothesis is that the starting salary will be greater than $55,000/year.

H1:μ>55,000

b) Decision Rule;

P-value > significance level --- accept Null hypothesis

P-value < significance level --- reject Null hypothesis

For this case;

P-value = 0.0392

α = 0.05

Since P-value < 0.05, we can reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, we can accept alternative hypothesis which is the starting salary will be greater than $55,000/year, so the student should pursue an actuary career because the starting salary will be greater than $55,000/year.

- Yes, since we can can reject the null hypothesis
