To answer this item, we let x and y be the number of pair of skis and skates, respectively. The equations that would best represent the given situation are,
                                       40x + 50y = 600
                                          x + y = 13
The values of x and y from the equation above are 5 and 8, respectively. Thus, the school bought 8 pairs of skates.

The speed, s, of the current in a certain whirlpool is modeled by s=300/d, where d is the distance from the center of the whirlp
Ivan

Answer:

The answer is C. As you move closer to the center of the whirlpool, the speed of the current approaches infinity.

This means the closer you get, the faster you go, and the further the distance is the slower the speed. Hope this helps!

(Btw I got this right on the test)

A 6-kg bag of fertilizer covers a rectangular area of 2.5 m by 5.0 m.
Naily [24]

Answer

Given,

Mass of bag = 6 Kg

Area covered by the bag = 2.5 x 5 = 12.5 m²

a) Bags required to cover area = 7.5 x 10.2

                                                    = 76.5 m²

 Number of bags, N = \dfrac{76.5}{12.5}

                               N = 6.12 = 7 (approx.)

7 Bags of 6 Kg fertilizers will be needed to cover the area.

b) Cost of 6 Kg fertilizers = $15.50

  Cost of 7 bags of 6 Kg fertilizers = 7 x $15.50

                                                         = $108.50.

Consider circle O below. The length of arc BA is 8.4 cm and the length of the radius is 8 cm. The measure of angle AOC is 45°. C
denis23 [38]

Answer:

i) 60°

ii) 14.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length of Arc BA = 8.4 cm

length of radius = 8 cm

angle AOC = 45°

BO = AO = CO = 8 cm

<u>i) What is the measure of Angle BOA </u>

= length of Arc BA  / Radius

= 8.4 / 8  = 1.05 radians = 60.16° ≈ 60°

<u>ii) what is the length of arc BAC</u>

= radius * angle BAC  * \pi /180

angle BAC = angle AOC + angle BOA

                  = 45° + 60° = 105°

hence length of arc BAC

= 8 * 105 * \pi /180

≈ 14.7 cm

Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) We can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval

(3) A survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 48% said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                         P.Q.  =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college = 48%

           n = sample of American adults = 331

           p = population proportion of Americans who decide to not go to

                 college because they cannot afford it

<em>Here for constructing a 90% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test for proportions.</em>

<em />

<u>So, 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;</u>

P(-1.645 < N(0,1) < 1.645) = 0.90  {As the critical value of z at 5% level

                                                        of significance are -1.645 & 1.645}  

P(-1.645 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.645) = 0.90

P( -1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < \hat p-p < 1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.90

P( \hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.90

<u>90% confidence interval for p</u> = [ \hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } , \hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ]

 = [ 0.48 -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } } , 0.48 +1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } } ]

 = [0.4348, 0.5252]

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval.

3) Now, it is given that we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

So, the margin of error =  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }

              0.015 = 1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n} }

              \sqrt{n}  = \frac{1.645 \times \sqrt{0.48 \times 0.52} }{0.015}

              \sqrt{n} = 54.79

               n = 54.79^{2}

               n = 3001.88 ≈ 3002

Hence, a survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.
