Two ice cream stands are deciding where to set up along a 1-mile-long beach. The people are uniformly located along the beach, and each person sitting on the beach buys exactly 1 ice cream cone per day from the nearest stand. Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers. True or False: The two stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other. True

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers:

True

The two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This distance enables the two ice cream stands to give access to the maximum number of customers at the beach, which will be almost equal at their right-hand and left-hand sides.  Therefore, the two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.  Such positioning exposes the ice cream stands to almost equal number of customers since the people standing along the beach are uniformly located.  Taking the extreme locations along the 1-mile-long beach will shrink location opportunities for both stands.

A window has the shape of a semicircle. The base of the window is measured as having diameter 64 cm with a possible error in measurement of 0.1 cm. Use differentials to estimate the maximum error possible in computing the area of the window.
a. 1.3π cm^2
b. 2.4 πcm^2
c. 2.6 πcm^2
d. 3.2 πcm^2
e. 1.6 πcm^2
f. 1.2 πcm^2

Answers

Answer:

e. 1.6π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the window is in a semi-circular shape, its area A = πD²/4 ÷ 2 = πD²/8 where D = diameter of window = 64 cm

Now, the error in the area dA = dA/dD × dD where dD = error in the diameter = 0.1 cm and dA/dD = derivative of A with respect to D.

So, dA/dD = d(πD²/8)/dD = 2 × πD/8 = πD/4

So, the differential dA = dA/dD × dD

dA =  πD/4 × dD

Substituting D = 64 cm and dD = 0.1 cm into the equation, we have

dA =  πD/4 × dD

dA =  π × 64 cm/4 × 0.1 cm

dA =  π × 16 cm × 0.1 cm

dA =  π × 1.6 cm²

dA = 1.6π cm²

So, the maximum error in computing the area of the window is 1.6π cm²

The average breaking strength of a certain brand of steel cable is 2000 pounds, with a standard deviation of 100 pounds. A sample of 20 cables is selected and tested. Find the sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population. Assume the variable is normally distributed.

Answers

Answer:

The sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population is of 1963.2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The average breaking strength of a certain brand of steel cable is 2000 pounds, with a standard deviation of 100 pounds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 2000, \sigma = 100[/tex]

A sample of 20 cables is selected and tested.

This means that [tex]n = 20, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{20}} = 22.361[/tex]

Find the sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population.

This is the 100 - 95 = 5th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 2000}{22.361}[/tex]

[tex]X - 2000 = -1.645*22.361[/tex]

[tex]X = 1963.2[/tex]

The sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population is of 1963.2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

1) Plug in the slope (m)

We're given that the slope is [tex]\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. In [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], replace m with [tex]\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:

[tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

We're given the point (-9,4). Plug this point into the equation as [tex](x,y)[/tex] and solve for b:

[tex]4=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}(-9)+b\\\\4=\displaystyle\frac{9}{2}+b[/tex]

Subtract [tex]\displaystyle\frac{9}{2}[/tex] from both sides to isolate b:

[tex]4-\displaystyle\frac{9}{2}=\displaystyle\frac{9}{2}+b- \displaystyle\frac{9}{2}\\\\\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2} = b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is [tex]\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. Plug this back into [tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex] as b:

because the equation y=9x does not have a y-intercept (all slopes come in the form y=mx+b -- it can be written differently though) and since there is no 'b' that means the y-intercept is 0. So whenever there is no y-intercept, the slope starts at 0.

What are vertices of the conic 16x² - 25y² = 400 ?

Answers

Answer:

(-5, 0) and (5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation fits the form for a hyperbola with x-intercepts.  The standard form for such an equation is

[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

To get the equation in the question into this standard form, divide each term by 400.

[tex]\frac{16x^2}{400}-\frac{25y^2}{400}=\frac{400}{400}\\\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{16}=1[/tex]

To find the x-intercepts, make y = 0.

[tex]\frac{x^2}{25}=1\\x^2=25\\x=\pm 5[/tex]

The vertices are located at the points (-5, 0) and (5, 0).

Note: There are no y-intercepts; making x = 0 produces no real solutions for y.

The cost of producing x units of a particular commodity is 2 C(x) = x' +6x +45 shillings, and the production level t hours into a particular production run is x(1)=0.312 +0.04 units. At what rate is cost changing with respect to time after 5 hours?​

Answers

Complete question is;

The cost of producing x units of a particular commodity is C(x) = ⅔x² + 6x + 45 shillings and the production level t hours into a particular production run is x(t) = 0.3t² + 0.04t. At what rate is cost changing with respect to time after 5 hours?

Answer:

dC/dt = 49.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C(x) = ⅔x² + 6x + 45

And x(t) = 0.3t² + 0.04t

This means that;

C(x) = C(x(t))

The rate at what cost is changing with respect to time is given as;

dC/dt

Thus, from chain rule;

dC/dt = (dC/dx) × (dx/dt)

dC/dx = (4/3)x + 6

dx/dt = 0.6t + 0.04

Now, when t = 5, then;

x(5) = 0.3(5)² + 0.04(5)

x = 7.7

Thus;

dC/dx = (4/3)x + 6 = (4/3)(7.7) + 6 = 16.267

At 5 hours,

dx/dt = 0.6(5) + 0.04 = 3.04

Thus;

dC/dt = 16.267 × 3.04

dC/dt = 49.45

The correct answer is the letter C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following trigonometric identity:

[tex]cos(60)=\frac{6}{b}[/tex] (1)

[tex]cos(45)=\frac{c}{b}[/tex] (2)

Solving each equation by b and equaling we have:

[tex]\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}[/tex]

Let's recall that:

[tex]cos(45)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

[tex]cos(60)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then we have:

[tex]c=\frac{cos(45)*6}{cos(60)}[/tex]

[tex]c=\frac{2*6}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

[tex]c=\frac{12}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

[tex]c=6\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Using equation (1) we can find b.

[tex]cos(60)=\frac{6}{b}[/tex]  

[tex]b=12[/tex]      

Finally, we can find a using the next equation:

[tex]tan(60)=\frac{a}{6}[/tex]

[tex]a=6*tan(60)[/tex]

[tex]a=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is the letter C.

A. 2.45 inches and 3.2 inches
B. 2.45 inches and 2.95 inches
C. 2.2 inches and 3.2 inches
D. 1.95 inches and 3.45 inches

Answers

Option D is correct. 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.

To get the required range of values, we will have to first get the z-score for the two-tailed probability at a 95% confidence interval. According to the normal table, the required range is between -2.81 and 2.81

The formula for calculating the z-score is expressed as;

[tex]z=\frac{x-\overline x}{s}[/tex] where:

[tex]\overline x[/tex] is the mean

s is the standard deviation

z is the z-scores

Given the following

[tex]\overline x[/tex]=2.7 in

s = 0.25

if z = -2.81

[tex]-2.81=\frac{x-2.7}{0.25}\\x-2.7=-2.81*0.25\\x-2.7=-0.7025\\x=-0.7025+2.7\\x=1.9975[/tex]

Similarly:

[tex]2.81=\frac{x_2-2.7}{0.25}\\x_2-2.7=2.81*0.25\\x_2-2.7=0.7025\\x_2=0.7025+2.7\\x_2=3.4025[/tex]

Hence the 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.

You need to build a box from an 8 inchby 10 inch piece of cardboard. To do this, you cut out squares of length x from the four corners of the box in order to fold the sides up. Verify that the volume of the box is given by the equation:

V= 4x^3â36x^2+ 80x

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image below, let assume we have a square of diameter x by x which is to be cut from each corner of the cardboard sheet.

Thus, from the diagram

the length = 8 - 2x   the width = 10 - 2x  and the height = x

So, the volume V = L*w*h

Volume (V) = (8 - 2x) (10 - 2x) x

V = (80 - 16x - 20x +4x²)x

V = 80x -36x² + 4x³

By rearrangement:

V = 4x³ - 36x² + 80x
