A store charges 7% sales tax. Which expression can be used to find the total cost of an item with a price of p?

Using the quadratic formula to solve 5x = 6x2 – 3, what are the values of x?

Tema [17]

Your x values are 1.24 and -0.404.
First you need to make the equation equal 0, and you can do this simply by subtracting 5x, so you get
6x² - 3 - 5x = 0
The quadratic formula is (-b +- √b² - 4ac)/2a, where a is the x², b is the x, and c is the value. This means we can just substitute it in.
You find the value of the part inside the square root, which is -5² - 4 × 6 × -3 = 97. Now we can use this to substitute in to (5 +- √97)/12. We can do it with the plus sign, and get 1.24, and then with the subtract sign and get -0.404.

I hope this helps!

A bakery sells rolls in units of a dozen. The demand X (in 1000 units) for rolls has a gamma distribution with parameters α = 3,

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The value is $E(X) = \$ 1.7067$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The parameters are α = 3, θ = 0.5

The cost of making a unit on the first day is c = $2

The selling price of a unit on the first day is s = $5

The selling price of a leftover unit on the second day is v = $ 1

Generally the profit of a unit on the first day is

$p_1 = 5 - 2$

$p_1 = \$3$

The profit of a unit on the second day is

$p_2 = 1 - 2$

=> $p_2 = - \$1$

Generally the probability of making profit greater than $ 1 is mathematically represented as

$P(X > 1 ) = Gamma (X ,\alpha , \theta)$

=> $P(X > 1 ) = Gamma (1 ,3 , 0.5)$

Now from the gamma distribution table we have that

$P(X > 1 ) = 0.67668$

Generally the probability of making profit less than or equal to $ 1 is mathematically represented as

$P(X \le 1 ) = 1 - P(X > 1 )$

=> $P(X \le 1 ) = 1 - 0.67668$

=> $P(X \le 1 ) = 0.32332$

So the probability of making $3 is $P(X > 1 ) = 0.67668$

and the probability of making -$1 is $P(X \le 1 ) = 0.32332$

Generally the value of profit per day is mathematically represented as

$E(X) = 3 * P(X > 1 ) + (-1 * P(X \le 1 ) )$

=> $E(X) = 3 * 0.67668 + (-1 * 0.32332 )$

=> $E(X) = \$ 1.7067$

Which data sets have outliers? Check all that apply.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(B), (D) and (E)

Step-by-step explanation:

An outlier is an observation which is quite different or very far from the rest of the given values of the data set.

(A) The given data set is:

14, 21, 24, 25, 27, 32, 35

Since, in the given data set, the values ranges from 14 to 35 in which no outlier is present, thus this data set does not contain any outlier.

thus, this option is incorrect.

(B) The given data set is:

15, 30, 35, 41, 44, 50, 78

In this data set, 78 is an outlier since it is quite far from the rest of the given data values, thus this option is correct.

(C) The given data set is:

16, 32, 38, 39, 41, 42, 58

In the given data set, there is no outlier present, thus this option is incorrect.

(D) The given data set is:

17, 23, 28, 31, 39, 45, 75

In this data set, 75 is an outlier since it is quite far from the rest of the given data values, thus this option is correct.

(E) The given data set is:

18, 30, 34, 38, 43, 45, 68

In this data set, 68 is an outlier since it is quite far from the rest of the given data values, thus this option is correct.

Jeremiah and Tristan work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Jeremiah can iron 35 shirts per hour, and Tristan can iron 20 shirts

laiz [17]

The number of hours Jeremiah ironed = 10 hours

The number of hours Tristan ironed = 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremiah can iron = 35 shirts per hour
Tristan can iron = 20 shirts per hour
Total work done by both = 490 shirts

Let 'x' be the number of hours Jeremiah ironed.

Let 'y' be the number of hours Tristan ironed.

x+y = 17 ------(1)

35x + 20y = 490 -------(2)

Multiply (1) by 20 and subtract (2) from (1),

20x + 20y = 340

-(35x + 20y = 490)

-15x = -150

x = 150/15

x = 10

Substitute x=10 in (1)

10+y = 17

y = 7

A survey of the students in Lance’s school found that 58% of the respondents want the school year lengthened, while 42% think it

alina1380 [7]

The margin of error of a given statistic is an amount that is allowed for in case of miscalculation or change of circumstances.

It is usually the radius or half of the width of the confidence interval of that statistic.

Given that a survey of the students in Lance’s school found that 58% of the respondents want the school year lengthened, while 42% think it should remain the same. The margin of error of the survey is ±10%.

This means that 58% ± 10% of the respondents want the school year lengthened, while 42% ± 10% think it should remain the same.

Thus, from 48% to 68% of the respondents want the school year lengthened, while from 32% to 52% think it should remain the same. 

Therefore, according to the survey data, at least 32% of students want the duration of the school year to remain unchanged, and at least 48% want the school year to be lengthened.
