If the acceptable percent error is 2.5%, then the amount it can be over or under 16 oz is 0.4oz.
16 + 0.4
16 - 0.4
16.4 is the greatest, 15.6 is the least

$1.12 for 8.2 ounces? Unit Rate
Reil [10]
That is around 13 or 14 cents. The specific answer is 13.65853659 cents, but you can either round up to 14 or round down to 13 (rounding up to 14 is the correct way to do it.)

First you divide 1.12 by 8.2 to get the unit rate because It takes $1.12 to buy 8.2 ounces. 1.12/8.2=13.65853659

Use a daily production cost C for x units. A manufacturer of gas grills has daily production costs of C = 400 – 5x + 0.125x2, wh
Lady bird [3.3K]
The function given is a quadratic function, so the graph will be a parabola. It'll look similar to the photo attached. The minimum cost will be at the vertex of the parabola because that is its lowest point! To find the x-value of the vertex (which is what the question is looking for), use the vertex formula: x = -b/2a. The variable b is the coefficient of the x term in the function, and the variable a is the coefficient of the x² term. In this case, a = 0.125 and b = -5.
x = -(-5)/2(0.125)
x = 5/0.25
x = 20
So, 20 gas grills should be produced each day to maintain minimum costs. Hope that helps! :)

In a recent year, a sample of grade 8 Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean sc
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The  number is  N  =1147 students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is  \mu  =  281

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  34.4

    The sample size is  n = 2000

percentage of the would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305 is mathematically represented as

      P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  P(\frac{ 250 - 281}{34.4 }  <  \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }  < \frac{ 305 - 281}{34.4 }   )

Generally  

             \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }  =  Z  (Standardized \ value \  of  \  X )

So  

         P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  P(-0.9012<  Z

       P(250 <  X <  305 ) = P(z_2 < 0.698 ) -  P(z_1 <  -0.9012)

From the z table  the value of  P( z_2 < 0.698) =  0.75741

                                         and  P(z_1 < -0.9012) =  0.18374

     P(250 <  X <  305 ) = 0.75741 - 0.18374

      P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  0.57

The  percentage is  P(250 <  X <  305 ) =  57\%

The  number of students that will get this score is

           N  = 2000 * 0.57

           N  =1147

For her vacation Mrs. Andrews bought $300 worth of traveler's checks in $10 and $20 denominations
Nookie1986 [14]

Option C

The expression 20(22 - x) represents the value of the $20  traveler's checks she has.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, For her vacation Mrs. Andrews bought $300 worth of traveler's checks in $10 and $20 denominations travelers checks in all,  

We have to find how many of each denomination does she have?

Let x represent the number of $10 traveler's checks she has,

Then, $10(x) + $20(number of $20 checks) = 300

10x + 20($20 checks) = 300

x + 2(number of $20 checks) = 30 ⇒ (1)

Now let us see the given options, for value of $20 checks,

It should be in format, that, $20 x number of $20 checks  

⇒ 20(total checks - $10 checks) ⇒ 20(total checks – x), as we can see only C is in that format, it is correct and total number of checks = 22.

Then, (1) ⇒ x + 2(22 – x) = 30

⇒ x + 44 – 2x = 30

⇒2x – x = 44 – 30

⇒ x = 14

So, $10 checks count = 14, then, $20 checks count = 22 – 14 = 8.

Hence, there are 14 $10 checks and 8 $20 checks, and option c is correct.
