How many miles would Glenna drive before she would be spending the same amount at either company?

Answer: Barbarino's rentals has a better deal.

She has to drive 887.5 miles to spend the same amount at either company.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

<em>Mr.kotters rentals (A) </em>

<em>$99 PER WEEK </em>
<em>$0.11per mile over 100 miles </em>

<em>Barbarino's rentals (B) </em>

<em>$75 per week </em>
<em>$0.15 per mile over 150 miles </em>

For "A"

Cost = 0.11 (432-100) + 99 = $135.52

For "B"

Cost= 0.15 (432-150) +75 = $117.3

Barbarino's rentals has a better deal, since $117.3(B) < $135.52 (A)

To find how many miles would Glenna drive before she would be spending the same amount at either company:

A =B

0.11 (M-100) + 99 =0.15 (M-150) +75 = $117.3

Solving for M (miles)

0.11 M -11+99 = 0.15 M -22.5+75

-11 +99 +22.5 -75 =0.15M -0.11 M

35.5 = 0.04M

35.5/0.04 = M

887.5 =M

She has to drive 887.5 miles to spend the same amount at either company.

For the wheat-yield distribution of Exercise 4.3.5, find

Answer:

a) 90.695 lb

b) 85.305 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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:

$\mu = 88, \sigma = 7$

(a) The 65th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.65. So X when Z = 0.385.

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

$0.385 = \frac{X - 88}{7}$

$X - 88 = 7*0.385$

$X = 90.695$

(b) The 35th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.35. So X when Z = -0.385.

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

$-0.385 = \frac{X - 88}{7}$

$X - 88 = 7*(-0.385)$

$X = 85.305$

Find the 88th term of the arithmetic sequence 26, 28, 30,...

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Arithmetic sequence is: 26, 28, 30,...

First term a = 26

Common Difference d = 2

n = 88

$\because t_n=a +(n-1) d \\ \therefore \: t_{88}=26 +(88-1) \times 2 \\ \therefore \: t_{88}=26 +87 \times 2 \\ \therefore \: t_{88}=26 +174 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: t_{88}=200}} \\$

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at

sergij07 [2.7K]

Number of stocks held = 30
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company bought = 20 1/4
   = (81/4) dollars
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company sold = 25 1/4
   = (101/4) dollars
Amount of profit made per share of Lofty Cheese Company = [(101/4 - (81/4)] dollars
   = (20/4) dollars
   = 5 dollars
Amount of profit made for 30 shares of Lofty Cheese Company = (30 * 5) dollars
   = 150 dollars.
So you will make a profit of $150.The correct option in regards to the question given is option "C".

Workers at a particular mining site receive an average of 35 days paid vacation, which is lower than the national average. The m

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of paid time off is the sum of the paid time off (T) of each employee divided by the number of employees(n):

av = (∑T)/n

Thus, av is directly proportional to the sum of T and indirectly proportional to n. It means that if T raises, the average raises too. So, the manager must fire the employees who have the least number of days off, so T will increase.
