When Val checks her cable bill, she is shocked by her movie-rental bill for the month. Renting movies costs $2.99 for each movie

. She could pay $7.99 a month that allows her to watch unlimited movies, but she doesn't have a lot of time to watch movies and she doesn't want to waste her money if it's not worth it. She creates the following probability distribution for the number of movies she typically watches each month: Should Val buy the monthly plan for unlimited movies or should she continue to pay $2.99 per movie? Explain your choice thoroughly. *

Answer:

She should buy the monthly plan for the unlimited movies rather than pay $2.99 per movie. This is because, the more she pay that amount for each movie, the higher her expenses would become at the end of each month.

For example, let assume, in a month, she 8 free days (Saturday and Sunday). She paying for each movie each of those days would supersede the amount she could have spent assuming she did the unlimited monthly plan of $7.99.

That notwithstanding other days which will feel like watching movies or the public holidays which she would be free to relax.

The volume of air inside a rubber ball with radius r can be found using the function V(r) = four-thirds pi r cubed. What does V
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that The volume of air inside a rubber ball with radius r can be found using the function V(r) = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, this means that the volume of the air inside the rubber ball is a function of the radius of the rubber ball, that is as the radius of the rubber ball changes, also the volume of the ball changes.

As seen from the function, the radius is directly proportional to the volume of the ball, if the radius increases, the volume also increases.

V(\frac{5}{7} ) is equal to the volume of the ball when the radius of the ball is \frac{5}{7}. Therefore:

V(\frac{5}{7} )=\frac{4}{3} \pi *(\frac{5}{7} )^3=1.53\ unit^3

The highest recorded temperature during the month of July for a given year in Death Valley, California has an approximately norm
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard tabe and we got:

P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the temperatures of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(123.8,3.1)  

Where \mu=123.8 and \sigma=3.1

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard tabe and we got:

P(z

Joseph received a $20 gift card for downloading music. Each downloaded song costs $1.29. Explain how to write and solve an inequ
poizon [28]
<span>Let x be the number of songs downloaded.
Each song is $1.29; the total cost would be found by multiplying the cost by the number of songs, or 1.29x.
This cannot be more than 20, so we set this less than or equal to 20:
1.29x ≤ 20.

<u>To solve this, we divide both sides by 1.29: </u>
</span>\frac{1.29x}{1.29}<span> ≤ </span>\frac{20}{1.29}<span>;
x ≤15.5.

We <u>cannot download half of a song</u>, so we round this down to 15 (although the number rounds up mathematically, he would not have enough money to download 16 songs). This means he can download at most 15 songs.</span>

The height of a cylinder is twice the radius of its base. A cylinder has a height of 2 x and a radius of x. What expression repr
cluponka [151]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>volume of the cylinder = 2πx^{3}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a cylinder is twice the radius of its base.

Let the height of the cylinder = 2x

Let the radius of the cylinder = x

By formula, volume of the cylinder = πr^{2} h

here r = x, h = 2x

substituting the values in the equation, we get

volume of the cylinder = πr^{2} h =  π x^{2} (2x)

volume of the cylinder = 2πx^{3}
