At a restaurant, a trash can’s opening is rectangular and measures 7 inches by 9 inches. The restaurant serves food on trays tha

t measure 12 inches by 16 inches. Jada says it is impossible for the tray to accidentally fall through the trash can opening because the shortest side of the tray is longer than either edge of the opening. Do you agree or disagree with Jada’s explanation? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

<em>I agree it won't fit, but not because of Jada's explanation</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The trash can's opening measures 7 inches by 9 inches and the trays measure 12 inches by 16 inches. It's obvious that the trays won't fit through the opening if they are tried by the opening's width or height, but what if we try to make the tray go through the diagonal of the opening?

We must then compute the length of the opening's diagonal, if it's longer than any of the tray's dimensions, then it can fall through it.

d=\sqrt{7^2+9^2}=11.4\ in

The diagonal is shorter than the shortest side of the tray, so it's impossible to fall through the opening, but not for the reason explained by Jada. Some calculation should be done before stating it.

Which graph matches the equation y+3=2(x+3)?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The graph that includes points (-3,-3) and (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the pictures attached, the options are shown.

The equation:

y+3=2(x+3)

has the point-slope form, which is:

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line and <em>m</em> is its slope. This means that (-3,-3) is on the line. To know the y-intercept of the line, we have to replace x = 0 into the equation, as follows:

y+3=2(0+3)

y+3 = 6

y = 6 - 3

y = 3

Then, point (0, 3) is on the line.

Given that a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all adult males in Idaho measured in inches was [62.532, 76.478]. Us
grigory [225]

Answer:

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

\bar X represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma represent the population standard deviation  

n represent the sample size  

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution  

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 s
asambeis [7]

The question is incomplete:

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 sweaters, $5 books. They want to buy 200 items and send them to schools in earthquake-hit areas. They must order as many books as school bags and sweaters combined. How many of each item should they order?

Answer:

They must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y+z=200 (1)

20x+25y+5z=2800 (2)

z=x+y (3), where:

x=amount of bags

y=amount of sweaters

z=amount of books

Now, you can replace (3) in (1) and (2):

x+y+x+y=200

2x+2y=200 (4)

20x+25y+5(x+y)=2800

20x+25y+5x+5y=2800

25x+30y=2800 (5)

Then, you will have 2 equations:

2x+2y=200 (4)

25x+30y=2800 (5)

You can isolate x in (4):

2x=200-2y

x=100-y (6)

After this, you can replace (6) in (5):

25(100-y)+30y=2800

2500-25y+30y=2800

5y=2800-2500

y=300/5

y=60

Next, you can replace the value of y in (6) to find the value of x:

x=100-60

x=40

Finally, you can replace the value of x and y in (3) to find the value of z:

z=40+60

z=100

According to this, the answer is that they must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.
