The given equation is -3x²+240x-800

The maximum of the function is given when $x=- \frac{b}{2a}$ where a and b are the constant of a quadratic form ax²+bx+c

We then have
a = -3
b = 240

Substitute these values into the maximum/minimum formula we have
$x= \frac{-240}{2(-3)} = \frac{240}{6}=40$

Which means that the maximum profit is obtained when the number of refrigerators produced is 40 items a day

The maximum profit is

p = -3(40)²+240(40)-800 = $4000

suter [353]

Answer:

$5\sqrt{10}\ units$

5 StartRoot 10 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The legs of a 45°-45°-90° triangle are congruent

Let

x ----> the length of one leg of the triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the hypotenuse

a and b are the legs

we have

$c=10\sqrt{5}\ units$

$a=b=x\ units$

substitute

$(10\sqrt{5})^2=x^2+x^2$

$500=2x^2\\x^2=250\\x=\sqrt{250}\ units$

Simplify

$x=5\sqrt{10}\ units$

Suppose that the weight of seedless watermelons is normally distributed with mean 6.1 kg. and standard deviation 1.9 kg. Let X b

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a. $X\sim N(\mu = 6.1, \sigma = 1.9)$ b. 6.1 c. 0.6842 d. 0.4166 e. 0.1194 f. 8.5349

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The distribution of X is normal with mean 6.1 kg. and standard deviation 1.9 kg. this because X is the weight of a randomly selected seedless watermelon and we know that the set of weights of seedless watermelons is normally distributed.

b. Because for the normal distribution the mean and the median are the same, we have that the median seedless watermelong weight is 6.1 kg.

c. The z-score for a seedless watermelon weighing 7.4 kg is (7.4-6.1)/1.9 = 0.6842

d. The z-score for 6.5 kg is (6.5-6.1)/1.9 = 0.2105, and the probability we are seeking is P(Z > 0.2105) = 0.4166

e. The z-score related to 6.4 kg is $z_{1} = (6.4-6.1)/1.9 = 0.1579$ and the z-score related to 7 kg is $z_{2} = (7-6.1)/1.9 = 0.4737$ , we are seeking P(0.1579 < Z < 0.4737) = P(Z < 0.4737) - P(Z < 0.1579) = 0.6821 - 0.5627 = 0.1194

f. The 90th percentile for the standard normal distribution is 1.2815, therefore, the 90th percentile for the given distribution is 6.1 + (1.2815)(1.9) = 8.5349

Two triangles are similar with a scale factor of 3. The preimage triangle has a base of 7 inches and a height of 10 inches. What

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

<u>The area of the larger triangle is 315 inches²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the questions properly:

Pre-image triangle has a base of 7 inches and a height of 10 inches

Scale used : Factor of 3

2. What is the area of the larger triangle??

For calculating the area of the larger triangle, we use the scale this way:

Base = 7 inches * 3

21 inches

Height = 10 inches * 3

30 inches

Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 (Base * Height)

Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 (21 * 30)

<u>Area of the larger triangle = 630/2 = 315 inches²</u>

Suppose that 20% of the adult women in the United States dye or highlight their hair. We would like to know the probability that

Rasek [7]

Answer:

71.08% probability that pˆ takes a value between 0.17 and 0.23.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approxiation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.2, n = 200$ . So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.2 = 40$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.2*0.8} = 5.66$

In other words, find probability that pˆ takes a value between 0.17 and 0.23.

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 200*0.23 = 46 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 200*0.17 = 34. So

X = 46

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{46 - 40}{5.66}$

$Z = 1.06$

$Z = 1.06$ has a pvalue of 0.8554

X = 34

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{34 - 40}{5.66}$

$Z = -1.06$

$Z = -1.06$ has a pvalue of 0.1446

0.8554 - 0.1446 = 0.7108

71.08% probability that pˆ takes a value between 0.17 and 0.23.
