Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

We must determine the x and y intercepts of the parabola:

When y=0, x=0 or x=10

WE know that the point of the triangle base is x and x+8. We can substitute this into the parabola equation because the endpoints are on the parabola.

f(x+8) $=-(x^2+16x+64)+10x+80$

f(x+8) $=-x^2-6x+16$

f(x)=f(x+8)

$-x^2+10x=-x^2-6x+16$

solve for x

$16x=16$

$x=1$

Therefore the heigh is f(1):

$=-1^2+10=9$

The area of the triangle is 1/2 base x height:

$=(1/2)\cdot{8}\cdot{9}=36$

Sam bought brushes for $8, a palette for $5, and oil paints for $15. He paid $29.82 in all. What sales-tax rate did Sam pay?

klio [65]

Total purchased w/o tax: $8 +$5 + $15 = $28
He paid (w/tax) $29.82 so
$ 29.82 - $28 = $1.82 (sale tax)

Now we need to find the sales tax rate:

$1.82 / $28 * 100 = 0.065 *100% = 6.5%

Double check:

$28 *6.5 / 100 = $1.82

$28 + $ 1.82 = $29.82 total amount he paid..

So the sales tax rate is 6.5%

A number, x, rounded to 2 significant figures is 1300<br>Write down the error interval for x.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$[1250,1350)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a number, x, rounded to 2 significant figures is 1300.

It is possible if,

1. The value of x is greater than of equal to 1250 and less than or equal to 1300.

i.e., $1250\leq x\leq 1300$ ...(1)

2. The value of x is greater than of equal to 1300 and less than 1350.

i.e., $1300\leq x$ ...(2)

On combining (1) and (2), we get

$1250\leq x < 1350$

1350 is not included in the error interval for x.

Interval notation is $[1250,1350)$ .

Therefore, the error interval for x is $[1250,1350)$ .

The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

a) There is a 74.22% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

b) There is a 1-0.0548 = 0.9452 = 94.52% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes.

c) There is a 68.74% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3 minutes. This means that $\mu = 8.3, \sigma = 3.3$ .

(a) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes?

We are working with a sample mean of 37 jets. So we have that:

$s = \frac{3.3}{\sqrt{37}} = 0.5425$

Total time of 320 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{320}{37} = 8.65$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when $X = 8.65$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{8.65 - 8.3}{0.5425}$

$Z = 0.65$

$Z = 0.65$ has a pvalue of 0.7422. This means that there is a 74.22% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

(b) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes?

Total time of 275 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{275}{37} = 7.43$

This probability is subtracted by the pvalue of Z when $X = 7.43$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{7.43 - 8.3}{0.5425}$

$Z = -1.60$

$Z = -1.60$ has a pvalue of 0.0548.

There is a 1-0.0548 = 0.9452 = 94.52% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes.

(c) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes?

Total time of 320 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{320}{37} = 8.65$

Total time of 275 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{275}{37} = 7.43$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when $X = 8.65$ subtracted by the pvalue of Z when $X = 7.43$ .

So:

From a), we have that for $X = 8.65$ , we have $Z = 0.65$ , that has a pvalue of 0.7422.

From b), we have that for $X = 7.43$ , we have $Z = -1.60$ , that has a pvalue of 0.0548.

So there is a 0.7422 - 0.0548 = 0.6874 = 68.74% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes.
