Jesse and Mark are jogging along the route shown at a rate of 12 miles per hour. They start by jogging south along Capitol Stree

Ilya [14]

The hypotenuse of the way that they have taken is equal to 2 miles. Jogging this distance with a rate of 5 miles per hour will take Jesse 0.4 hours. Further, for Mark to be back to the starting point, the total distance covered is 2.75. Dividing the distance by 12 miles per hour, it will take Mark only 0.23 hours. Thus, Mark will reach the initial point first.

A manufacturing company builds construction machinery. It sells 10 machines for $18,100 and 20 machines for $26,600. Which equat

Anon25 [30]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. R(x) = 850x +9600

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Selling 10 more machines increased revenue from $18100 to $26600, an increase of ...

... $26,600 -18,100 = $8,500

That is, the revenue increased by $8500/10 = $850 per machine.

Only one answer choice has this number in it:

... D. R(x) = 850x+9600

_____

<em>Check</em>

R(10) = 850·10 +9600 = 8500 +9600 = 18,100 . . . . OK

R(20) = 850·20 +9600 = 17000 +9600 = 26,600 . . . . OK

<em>Comment on answer selection</em>

On multiple-choice questions, it is rarely necessary to work out the solution to the problem completely. Usually, it is sufficient to find the one number that discriminates between correct and incorrect answers.

In real life, answers are rarely multiple-choice. You are required to work the problem completely and to figure out how to tell if your answer is correct.

Here, we have worked the problem far enough to find the slope, the amount by which revenue increases when sales increases by 1 unit. The intercept can be found different ways. One of them is to see what number makes the revenue match for one of the "x" values:

... R(10) = 850·10 +b = 18100

... b = 18100 -8500 = 9600

so ...

... R(x) = 850x +9600

We can check this answer by computing R(20), as we have above.

Suppose you roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of 7 you win $22, if you roll a total of 11 you win $66, if you roll

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a pair of honest dice is rolled.

Possible outcomes for a dice = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Two dices are rolled then the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.

$\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),\\(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 7,

{ (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) }

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Formula for probability:

$Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

So, the possibility of getting a total of 7 = $\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 11,

{(5,6), (6,5)}

So, the probability of getting a total of 11 = $\frac{2}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{18}$

Now, other possible rolls = 36 - 6 - 2 = 36 - 8 = 28,

So, the probability of getting the sum of numbers other than 7 or 11 = $\frac{28}{36}$ = $\frac{7}{9}$

Since, for the sum of 7, $ 22 will earn, for the sum of 11, $ 66 will earn while for any other total loss is $11,

Hence, the expected value for this game is

$\frac{1}{6}\times 22+\frac{1}{18}\times 66-\frac{7}{9}\times 11$

$\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{22}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{66-77}{9}$

$-\frac{11}{9}$

$-1.22$

Therefore the expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

The function f(x) = 1/2 x + 3/2 is used to complete this table.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

a) f(-1/2) = -2 is NOT TRUE.

b) f(0) =3/2 is TRUE.

c) f(1) = -1 is NOT TRUE.

d) f(2) = 1 is NOT TRUE.

e) f(4) = 7/2 is TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function is $f(x) = (\frac{1}{2}) x+\frac{3}{2}$

Now, checking for each values for the given function:

a) Putting x = (-1/2):

$f(\frac{-1}{2} ) = (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{-1}{2} ) +\frac{3}{2} = \frac{-1}{4} + (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{-1 + 6}{4} = (\frac{5}{4} )$

and (5/4) ≠ -2

Hence, f(-1/2) = -2 is NOT TRUE.

b)Putting x = 0 :

$f(0) = (\frac{1}{2})(0 ) +\frac{3}{2} = (\frac{3}{2} )$

Hence, f(0) =3/2 is TRUE.

c) Putting x = 1:

$f(1 ) = (\frac{1}{2})(1 ) +\frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} + (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{3 + 1}{2} = (\frac{4}{2} ) = 2\implies 2 \neq -1$

Hence, f(1) = -1 is NOT TRUE.

d)Putting x = 2:

$f(2 ) = (\frac{1}{2})(2 ) +\frac{3}{2} = 1+ (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{2 + 3}{2} = (\frac{5}{2} )$

and (5/2) ≠ 1

Hence, f(2) = 1 is NOT TRUE.

e)Putting x = 4:

$f(4 ) = (\frac{1}{2})(4 ) +\frac{3}{2} = 2 + (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{4 + 3}{2} = (\frac{7}{2} )$

Hence, f(4) = 7/2 is TRUE.
