Answer:

Exponential function is of the form: $y =ab^x$

where a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

If b> 1, then the function is exponential growth function.

If 0<b<1, then the function is exponential decay function.

Given the parent function:

$f(x)=y = (\frac{3}{2})^x$ ....[1]

This function is an exponential growth function.

The rule of reflection over y-axis:

$(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, y)$

Apply the rule on f(x) we get;

$(\frac{3}{2})^{-x} = (\frac{2}{3})^x =g(x)$

Therefore, the function $g(x) =(\frac{2}{3})^x$ is the graph of the function f(x) reflected over y-axis.

Sample Response: The graphs are reflections of each other over the y-axis. The graph of g(x) shoes exponential decay, while the graph of f(x) shows exponential growth.

\end{tabular}$

The forcast for a period $F_{t+1}$ is given by the formular

$F_{t+1}=\alpha A_t+(1-\alpha)F_t$

where $A_t$ is the actual value for the preceding period and $F_t$ is the forcast for the preceding period.

Part 1A:
Given α = 0.1 and the initial forecast for october of $1.83, the actual value for october is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

$F_{11}=\alpha A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\ \\ =0.1(1.57)+(1-0.1)(1.83) \\ \\ =0.157+0.9(1.83)=0.157+1.647 \\ \\ =1.804$

Therefore, the foreast for period 11 is $1.80

Part 1B:

Given α = 0.1 and the forecast for november of $1.80, the actual value for november is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

$F_{12}=\alpha
 A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\ \\ =0.1(1.62)+(1-0.1)(1.80) \\ \\ 
=0.162+0.9(1.80)=0.162+1.62 \\ \\ =1.782$

Therefore, the foreast for period 12 is $1.78

Part 2A:

Given α = 0.3 and the initial forecast for october of $1.76, the actual value for October is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

$F_{11}=\alpha
 A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\ \\ =0.3(1.57)+(1-0.3)(1.76) \\ \\ 
=0.471+0.7(1.76)=0.471+1.232 \\ \\ =1.703$

Therefore, the foreast for period 11 is $1.70


Part 2B:

Given α = 0.3 and the forecast for November of $1.70, the actual value for november is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

$F_{12}=\alpha
 A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\ \\ =0.3(1.62)+(1-0.3)(1.70) \\ \\ 
=0.486+0.7(1.70)=0.486+1.19 \\ \\ =1.676$

Therefore, the foreast for period 12 is $1.68


Part 3A:

Given α = 0.5 and the initial forecast for october of $1.72, the actual value for October is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

$F_{11}=\alpha
 A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\ \\ =0.5(1.57)+(1-0.5)(1.72) \\ \\ 
=0.785+0.5(1.72)=0.785+0.86 \\ \\ =1.645$

Therefore, the forecast for period 11 is $1.65


Part 3B:

Given α = 0.5 and the forecast for November of $1.65, the actual value for November is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

$F_{12}=\alpha
 A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\ \\ =0.5(1.62)+(1-0.5)(1.65) \\ \\ 
=0.81+0.5(1.65)=0.81+0.825 \\ \\ =1.635$

Therefore, the forecast for period 12 is $1.64

Part 4:

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

Thus, given that the actual values of october, november and december are: $1.57, $1.62, $1.75

using α = 0.3, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.83, $1.80, $1.78

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

$\frac{|1.57-1.83|+|1.62-1.80|+|1.75-1.78|}{3} = \frac{|-0.26|+|-0.18|+|-0.03|}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{0.26+0.18+0.03}{3} = \frac{0.47}{3} \approx0.16$

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation using exponential smoothing where α = 0.1 of October, November and December is given by: 0.157

Part 5:

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

Thus, given that the actual values of october, november and december are: $1.57, $1.62, $1.75

using α = 0.3, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.76, $1.70, $1.68

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

$
 \frac{|1.57-1.76|+|1.62-1.70|+|1.75-1.68|}{3} = 
\frac{|-0.17|+|-0.08|+|-0.07|}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{0.17+0.08+0.07}{3} = 
\frac{0.32}{3} \approx0.107$

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation using exponential smoothing where α = 0.3 of October, November and December is given by: 0.107


Part 6:

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

Thus, given that the actual values of october, november and december are: $1.57, $1.62, $1.75

using α = 0.5, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.72, $1.65, $1.64

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

$
 \frac{|1.57-1.72|+|1.62-1.65|+|1.75-1.64|}{3} = 
\frac{|-0.15|+|-0.03|+|0.11|}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{0.15+0.03+0.11}{3} = 
\frac{29}{3} \approx0.097$

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation using exponential smoothing where α = 0.5 of October, November and December is given by: 0.097

In the morning, Marco sold 12 cups of lemonade for $3. By the end of the day, he had earned $9. How many cups of lemonade did he

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Marco earned $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If Marco sold 12 cups of lemonade for 3$, we would divide 12 cups and how much he earned from the 12 cups (3$). 12/3 = 4

2. By the end of the day, Marco earned $9. So, 4 cups = 1$. To break it down, 1$ = 100 cents and 100 cents divided by 4 is 25 cents. Cups to Cost. ( 4 : 1 ) and/or ( 1 : 0.25 )

3. 8 cups = 2$ plus 1 cup (0.25) = 2.25.

The volume of a cone is 3πx3 cubic units and its height is x units.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

It is given that the volume of a cone = $3 \pi x^{3}$ cubic units

Volume of cone with radius 'r' and height 'h' = $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

Equating the given volumes, we get

$3 \pi x^{3}$ = $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

$r^{2} h =3 \times 3 x^{3}$

$r^{2} h =9 x^{3}$

It is given that the height is 'x' units.

Therefore, $r^{2} x =9 x^{3}$

$r^{2} =9 x^{2}$

Therefore, r = 3x

So, the expression '3x' represents the radius of the cone's base in units.

Suppose that 4% of the 2 million high school students who take the SAT each year receive special accommodations because of docum

dangina [55]

Answer:

a. 0.0122

b. 0.294

c. 0.2818

d. 30.671%

e. 2.01 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let X represents the number of students that receive special accommodation

P(X) = 4%

P(X) = 0.04

Let S = Sample Size = 30

Let Y be a selected numbers of Sample Size

Y ≈ Bin (30,0.04)

a. The probability that 1 candidate received special accommodation

P(Y = 1) = (30,1)

= (0.04)¹ * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 1)

= 0.04 * 0.96^29

= 0.012244068467946074580191760542164986632531806368667873050624

P(Y=1) = 0.0122 --- Approximated

b. The probability that at least 1 received a special accommodation is given by:

This means P(Y≥1)

But P(Y=0) + P(Y≥1) = 1

P(Y≥1) = 1 - P(Y=0)

Calculating P(Y=0)

P(Y=0) = (0.04)° * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 0)

= 1 * 0.96^36

= 0.293857643230705789924602253011959679180763352848028953214976

= 0.294 --- Approximated

The probability that at least 2 received a special accommodation is given by:

P (Y≥2) = 1 -P(Y=0) - P(Y=1)

= 0.294 - 0.0122

= 0.2818

d. The probability that the number among the 15 who received a special accommodation is within 2 standard deviations of the number you would expect to be accommodated?

First, we calculate the standard deviation

SD = √npq

n = 15

p = 0.04

q = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

SD = √(15 * 0.04 * 0.96)

SD = 0.758946638440411

SD = 0.759

Mean =np = 15 * 0.04 = 0.6

The interval that is two standard deviations away from .6 is [0, 2.55] which means that we want the probability that either 0, 1 , or 2 students among the 20 students received a special accommodation.

P(Y≤2)

P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

P(0) + P(1) = 0.0122 + 0.294

Calculating P(2)

P(2) = (0.04)² * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 2(

P(2) = 0.00051

So,

P(0) +P(1) + P(2). = 0.0122 + 0.294 + 0.00051

= 0.30671

Thus it 30.671% probable that 0, 1, or 2 students received accommodation.

The expected value from d) is .6

The average time is [.6(4.5) + 19.2(3)]/30 = 2.01 hours
