Let the school hire x buses and y vans.

A bus can hold 40 students and 3 teachers.
A van can hold 8 students and 1 teacher.

The number of students riding in buses and vans is at least 400, therefore
40x + 8y ≥ 400 (1)

The number of teachers riding in buses and vans is at most 36, therefore
3x + y ≤ 36 (2)

Write (1) and (2) as
y ≥ 50 - 5x (3)
y ≤ 36 - 3x (4)

The equality portion of the solution of (3) and (4) is
36 - 3x = 50 - 5x
2x = 14
x = 7 => y = 36 - 3*7 = 15

A graph of the inequalities indicates the acceptable solution in shaded color, as shown below.

The minimum cost of renting buses and vans is
7*$1200 + 15*$100 = $9900

Answer: The minimum cost is $9,900

The spring has a stiffness k=200n/m and is unstretched when the 25 kg block is at

g100num [7]

To solve this we are going to use the formula fro the force applied to a spring: $F=ks$
where
$k$ is the spring constant
$s$ is the extension

Since we know the $F=ma$ , we can replace that in our formula and solve for $a$ :
$ma=ks$
$a= \frac{ks}{m}$
where
$a$ is the acceleration
$k$ is the spring constant
$s$ is the extension
$m$ is the mass

We know for our problem that $k=200$ , $s=0.4$ , and $m=25$ . So lets replace those values in our formula to find $a$ :
$a= \frac{ks}{m}$
$a= \frac{(200)(0.4)}{25}$
$a=3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}$

We can conclude that the acceleration of the block when s=0.4m is $3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

Find the missing term. () + (7 − 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 − 5i.

kotegsom [21]

X + (7 - 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 - 5i

Subtract 13i from both sides

x + (7 -3i) + (5 + 9i) = 10 - 18i

Subtract (5 + 9i). MAKE SURE YOU SUBTRACT 9i TOO. In other words, distribute the negative and subtract 5 and 9i at the same time.

x + (7 - 3i) = 5 - 27i

Do the same with (7 - 3i). You'll be adding 3i since -(-3i) = 3i.

x = -2 - 24i

isco Fever is randomly found in one half of one percent of the general population. Testing a swatch of clothing for the presence

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

0.8894 is the probability that the test result comes back negative if the disease is present .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

P(Disco Fever) = P( Disease) =

$P(D) = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\% = 0.5 \times 0.01 = 0.005$

Thus, we can write:

P(No Disease) =

$P(ND) =1 - P(D)= 0.995$

P(Test Positive given the presence of the disease) = 0.99

$P(TP | D ) = 0.99$

P( false-positive) = 4%

$P( TP | ND) = 0.04$

We have to evaluate the probability that the test result comes back negative if the disease is present, that is

P(test result comes back negative if the disease is present)

By Bayes's theorem, we can write:

$P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{P(ND)P(TP|ND)}{P(ND)P(TP|ND) + P(D)P(TP|D)}\\\\P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{0.995(0.04)}{0.995(0.04) + 0.005(0.99)} = 0.8894$

0.8894 is the probability that the test result comes back negative if the disease is present .

The heights of 82 roller coasters have a mean of 285.2 feet and a population standard deviation of 59.3 feet. Find the standardi

taurus [48]

Answer:

0.7673

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

The null and alternative hypothesis is,

H0: m = 290

Ha: m> 290

x = 285.2

m = 290

sd = 59.3

n = 82

is m the mean, sd the standard deviation and n the population size

Now we calculate the value of z like this:

z = (x - m) / sd / (n ^ (1/2))

z = (285.2 - 290) / 59.3 / (82 ^ (1/2))

z = -0.73

now

P (z> -0.73) = 1 - P (z <-0.73)

we look at the normal distribution table

P = 1 - 0.2327 = 0.7673

Therefore the value of p is equal to 0.7673
