Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=59,400$

The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=59,400-30,000$

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=29,400$

Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=\frac{29,400}{26}$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=1130.769230769$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}\approx 1131$

Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.

The population of Rock Springs is growing at a constant rate. The expression represents the increase in population in x years.

irakobra [83]

The function is given by

y=45,200 + 1,900x

and is of the form y = mx+b , where m is the rate of change and b is the fixed value ( or we can say initial value)

Now when we compare we get m = 1,900 for our problem .

So the population increases every year by 1,900.

What is the value of b in the equation (y Superscript b Baseline) Superscript 4 Baseline = StartFraction 1 Over y Superscript 24

shusha [124]

The value of b is -6.

Explanation:

The expression is $\left(y^{b}\right)^{4}=\frac{1}{y^{24}}$

To determine the value of b, we shall solve the expression.

Applying exponent rule, $\left(a^{b}\right)^{c}=a^{b c}$ , we get,

$y^{4b}=\frac{1}{y^{24}}$

Applying exponent rule, $\frac{1}{a^{b}}=a^{-b}$ , we have,

$y^{4b}=y^{-24}$

The expression is of the form, $a^{f(x)}=a^{g(x)}$ then $f(x)=g(x)$

Applying this rule, we get,

$4b=-24$

Dividing both sides by 4, we have,

$b=-6$

Hence, the value of b is -6.

A cash register contains q quarters. Write an algebraic expression that represents the total amount of money (in dollars).

kati45 [8]

Answer:

0.25q

Step-by-step explanation:

A cash register is a machine used in small business that sums, display and records the total amount made by each sale. A cash register also has a drawer which is used to store money.

A quarter is a coin in the United States which is 25 cents.

Converting 25 cents to dollars:

100 cents = $1

25 cents = 25 cents × $1 / 100 cent = $0.25

The total amount of money registered = number of quarters × $0.25

The total amount of money registered = q × $0.25 = 0.25q

A new drug on the market is known to cure 30% of patients with cervical cancer. If a group of 18 patients is randomly selected,

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Probability cured of cervical cancer = 18C0 (0.30)⁰(0.70)¹⁸ + 18C1(0.30)(0.70)¹⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Patients cured = 30% = 0.30

Number of patients (n) = 18

Probability cured of cervical cancer = P(X≤1)

Probability cured of cervical cancer = P(X=0) + P(X=1)

Probability cured of cervical cancer = 18C0 (0.30)⁰(0.70)¹⁸ + 18C1(0.30)(0.70)¹⁷

A quality control technician works in a factory that produces computer monitors. Each day, she randomly selects monitors and tes

jeka94

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 300

p = 5% = 0.05

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of dead pixels , x = 24

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: p = 0.05\\H_A: p > 0.05$

This is a one-tailed(right) test.

Formula:

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{24}{300} = 0.08$

$z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z = \displaystyle\frac{0.08-0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}} = 2.384$

Now, we calculate the p-value from excel.

P-value = 0.00856

Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.
