The first machine works at the rate x = 1 bale/ 25 min.
The second machine works at the rate y = 1 bale/30 min.

The combined rate is
x + y = 1/25 + 1/30 bales/min
         = (30 + 25)/(25*30) = 55/750
         = 11/150 bales/min

The time for both machines to pick 1 bale of cotton is
(1 bale)/(11/150 bales/min) = 150/11 min = 13.64 min

Answer: 13.6 minutes

Answer:

The maximum revenue is $900, obtained with 30 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Naturally, the answer should be a number equal or higher than 20, because up to 20 persons, each one pays the same. Lets define a revenue function for x greater than or equal to 20.

f(x) = x*(40-(x-20)) = -x²+60x

Note that f multiplies the number of persons by how much would they pay (here, assuming that there are more than 20).

f is quadratic with negative main coefficient and its maximum value will be reached at the vertex.

The value of the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a = -60/-2 = 30

for x = 30, f(x) = 30*(40-(30-20))=30*30=900

So the maximum revenue is $900.

Answer: (0.132132, 0.274368)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A simple random sample of 123 people living in Gastown and finds that 25 have an annual income that is below the poverty line.

i.e. n= 123

\hat{p}=\dfrac{25}{123}\approx0.203252

Critical value for 95% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval for population :

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

i.e. 0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}

0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}\\\\\0.203252\pm0.071118\\\\=(0.20325-0.071118,\ 0.203252+0.071118)\\\\=(0.132132,\ 0.274368)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line : (0.132132, 0.274368)

Feliz [49]

Answer:-9√(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

5√(11) - 12√(11) - 2√(11)

Since they are all alike,as in they possess √(11),we can just add or subtract them through

-7√(11) - 2√(11)

-9√(11)

Consider this equation: -2x - 4 + 5x = 8 Generate a plan to solve for the cariable. Describe the steps that will be used.
nordsb [41]
We are given the function –2x – 4 + 5x = 8 and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x =8+4
Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12
x = 4.
The variable x has a value of 4.
