Joey is buying plants for his garden. He wants to have at least twice as many flowering plants as nonflowering plants and a mini

mum of 36 plants in his garden. Flowering plants sell for $8, and nonflowering plants sell for $5. Joey wants to purchase a combination of plants that minimizes cost. Let x represent the number of flowering plants and y represent the number of nonflowering plants.
What are the vertices of the feasible region for this problem?
(0, 0), (0, 36), (24, 12)
(0, 36), (24, 12)
(0, 36), (24, 12), (36, 0)

(24, 12) and (36, 0).  The least amount of flowering plants occurs when x=2y, and the largest amount occurs when y=0.  These two points satisfy both conditions and both sum to 36.

Answer: (24, 12), (36, 0)


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of flowering plants and y be the number of non- flowering plants.

According to the question, we need to minimize the cost of plants.

Minimize:8x+5y

Subject to the constraints,

2y\leq\ x\\x+y\geq36

To find the feasible region find the points of the equation to plot it on graph.

For the first equation 2y=x , at x=0 y=0 and at x=4, y=2

For the second equation x+y=36 , at x=0 y=36 and at x=36, y=0

Thus points for eq (1) are (0,0) and (4,2) and points for equation (2) are (0,36) and (36,0).

Now, plot it on graph, we get the shaded feasible region as shown in the graph.

and we can see the  vertices of the feasible region = (24, 12), (36, 0)

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months. What will he pay in interest?
Viktor [21]

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months.

We have to calculate the interest paid.

Interest = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

Substituting the values of

Principal = $1058

Rate = 13%

Time = 9 months = \frac{9}{12} year

Interest = \frac{1058 \times 13 \times 9}{12 \times 100}

Interest = 103.155

= 103.16

So, Devin will pay 103.16 as the interest.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

A shoe manufacturer compared material A and material B for the soles of shoes. Twelve volunteers each got two shoes. The left wa
sveta [45]

Answer:

a) Are dependent since we are mesuring at the same individuals but on different times and with a different method

b) If we see the qq plot we don't have any significant deviation for the values and we don't have any heavy tail so we can conclude that we can approximate the differences with the normal distribution.

c) p_v =P(t_{(12)}>0.969) =0.353

So the p value is higher than the significance level given, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So we can conclude that the mean differences is NOT significantly different from 0 .

Step-by-step explanation:

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in  which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example  if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

The Q-Q plot, or quantile-quantile plot, "is a graphical tool to help us assess if a set of data plausibly came from some theoretical distribution such as a Normal or exponential".

Let put some notation  

x=value for A , y = value for B

A: 379, 378, 328, 372, 325, 304, 356, 309, 354, 318, 355, 392

B: 372, 376, 328, 368, 283, 252, 369, 321, 379, 303, 328, 411

(a) Are the two samples paired or independent? Explain your answer.

Are dependent since we are mesuring at the same individuals but on different times and with a different method

(b) Make a normal QQ plot of the differences within each pair. Is it reasonable to assume a normal population of differences?

The first step is calculate the difference d_i=A_i-B_i and we obtain this:

d: 7,2,0,4,42,52,-13,-12,-25,15,27,-19

In order to do the qqplot we can use the following R code:

d<-c(7,2,0,4,42,52,-13,-12,-25,15,27,-19)

qqnorm(d)

And the graph obtained is attached.

If we see the qq plot we don't have any significant deviation for the values and we don't have any heavy tail so we can conclude that we can approximate the differences with the normal distribution.

(c) Choose a test appropriate for the hypotheses above and justify your choice based on your answers to parts (a) and (b). Perform the test by computing a p-value, make a test decision, and state your conclusion in the context of the problem

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_A- \mu_B = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_A -\mu_B \neq 0

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= \frac{80}{12}=6.67

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =23.849

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{6.67 -0}{\frac{23.849}{\sqrt{12}}}=0.969

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=12-1=11

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a two tailed test the p value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{(12)}>0.969) =0.353

So the p value is higher than the significance level given, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So we can conclude that the mean differences is NOT significantly different from 0 .

Complete the similarity statement for the two triangles shown. Enter your answer in the box. △XBR∼△ Two similar triangles B R X
Andreyy89

Answer:  

Here, BRX and NJY are two triangles in which,

BR = 30 cm, RX = 40 cm, BX = 60 cm, NJ = 15 cm, JY = 20 cm and NY = 30 cm,

Also, m∠B = m∠N, m∠R = m∠J and m∠X = m∠Y,

By the property of congruence,

\angle B \cong \angle N, \angle R \cong \angle J and \angle X \cong \angle Y

Thus, By AAA similarity postulate,

\triangle BRX\sim \triangle NJY

Hence, proved.
