Answer:

The probability that it would take more than four hours to construct a soapbox derby car = 0.1587 or 15.87\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Mean (\nu )  = 3 hours

Standard deviation (\sigma  ) = 1 hours

Let X be the no of hours to construct a soapbox derby car

the probability that it would take more than four hours to construct a soapbox derby car =

P(X > 4)  = P(\frac{X - \nu }{\sigma}> \frac{4 - 3 }{1})

                = P(Z > 1)                   Put (Z = \frac{X - \nu }{\sigma})

                 =  1 -  P(Z <  1)            

                 =  1 - .8413                    Using z table

                  = 0.1587

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

(A)6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic expression: a^2+8a+12

We factorize:

a^2+8a+12=a^2+6a+2a+12\\=a(a+6)+2(a+6)\\=(a+2)(a+6)

Therefore, the missing number that will complete the factorization is 6.

Ming used the calculations shown to find out how much he would spend on 6 pounds of ground beef if 10 pounds of ground beef cost
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

Unit\ Price = 40\ cents

40\ cents * 6 = \$2.40

Required

Determine Ming's error

Ming's error is from here

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

He calculated the unit rate as pound per dollar.

So, after calculating the unit rate, the unit should be:

Unit\ Rate = 0.4\ pound/\$

But instead, he solved as:

Unit\ Rate = \$0.4/ pound

<em>Hence, (a) is correct</em>

1. Write an exponential function to represent the spread of Ben's social media post. 2. Write an exponential function to represe
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

1. y = 2(3)ˣ; 2. y = 10(4)^x; 4. Amber = 192 and 3 145 728;

Ben has 54 and 11 098; Carter = 80 and 10 249 shares;

5. Shifted up 45 shares; 6. Amber's;

7. Fewer friends. more shares.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for an exponential function is

y = a(b)ˣ

1. Ben's function

The initial value a = 2.

6 = 2(b)¹ = 2b

Ben's function is  

y = 2(3)^x

2. Carter's function

Carter shared his post with 10 friends on Day 0, so  a= 10.  

Each friend shared with 2 people each day, so b = 2.

Therefore, Carter's function is

y=10(2)ˣ

3. Graphs

\begin{array}{cccc}& \textbf{Amber} &\textbf{Ben}  & \textbf{Carter}\\\mathbf{x} & \mathbf{3(4)^{x}} &\mathbf{2(3)^{x}} & \mathbf{10(2)^{x}}\\0 & 3 & 2 & 10\\1 & 12 & 6 & 20\\2 & 48 & 18 & 40\\3 & 192 & 54 & 80\\\end{array}

The figure below shows the graphs for each function.

4. Predictions

(a) Amber

(i) Day 3

y = 3(4)³  = 3 × 64 = 192

(ii) Day 10

y = 3(4)¹⁰  = 3 × 1 048 576 = 3 145 728

(b) Ben

(i) Day 3

y = 2(3)³  = 2 × 27 = 54

(ii) Day 10

y = 2(3)¹⁰  = 2 × 29 049 = 118 098

(c) Carter

(i) Day 3

y = 10(2)³  = 10 × 8 = 80

(ii) Day 10

y =10(2)¹⁰  = 10 × 1024 = 10 240

5. Sharing with assisted living facility

y = 3(4)ˣ + 45

The new graph will be shifted up by 45 units.

6. Fastest post

Amber's post travels the fastest.

After only two days, she already has more posts than anyone else.

By Day 10, she has more than 25 times the shares of her closest competitor.

7. Preference

It's not the number of friends you have, but the number of shares they make, that is the important factor.

Carter started with 10 friends, but they made only two shares.

Amber started with only three friends, but they made four shares. By Day 3, she had 192 shares compared to 82 for Carter and only 54 for Ben

If I had to choose, I would prefer a post with fewer friends initially but more shares, like Amber.
