Jorge and Mary are both filling cups with fruit punch in preparation for a party. After 3 minutes, Jorge had 53 cups left to be

filled, and after 5 minutes, he had 25 cups left to be filled. Mary’s progress is shown in the table of values below. Assuming that both Jorge and Mary are filling cups at a constant rate, which statement is correct?
Mary’s Cup-Filling Progress

Jorge is filling 14 cups per minute, which is faster than Mary.
Jorge is filling 28 cups per minute, which is faster than Mary.
Mary is filling 18 cups per minute, which is faster than Jorge.
Mary is filling 36 cups per minute, which is faster than Jorge.

Answer:

Mary is filling 36 cups per minute, which is faster than Jorge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets get Jorge's time :

As the rate is constant, we can find the slope to know the number of cups he is filling per minute.

Slope is found using: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

= $\frac{53-25}{5-3}$

= $\frac{28}{2}=14$

From the table lets get Mary's time:

$\frac{99-81}{1-0.5}$

= $\frac{18}{0.5}=36$

Another data: $\frac{63-45}{2-1.5}$

= $\frac{18}{0.5}=36$

Therefore, we can see that Mary is filling 36 cups in a minute and Jorge is filling 14 cups.

Hence, the correct answer is : Mary is filling 36 cups per minute, which is faster than Jorge.

Answer: The answer is A 17in2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it states that the triangles are congruent (both the same).

first I found the area of the top orange triangle.

the formula to find the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} bh$ (base times Height).

so I did $\frac{1}{2} 3.23* 5.12$ which gave me 8.27.

Since the triangles are congruent (the same) they would both have the same area along with base and height. so I multiplied 8.27 by 2 (because there are two triangles) and got 16.54 which rounds up to 17.

the question also stated to find the APPROXIMATE area (close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.)

How much money do winners go home with from the television quiz show Jeopardy? To determine an answer, a random sample of winner

Liula [17]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Data: $26,650 $6,060 $52,820 $8,490 $13,660$25,840 $49,840 $23,790 $51,480 $18,960$990 $11,450 $41,810 $21,060 $7,860

We can calculate the mean and the deviation from these data with the following formulas:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X=24050.67$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=17386.13 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=15-1=14$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,14)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.14$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$24050.67-2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=14444.04$

$24050.67+2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=33657.30$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)

pshichka [43]

Answer:

An adult Welsh Corgi is always going to be shorter than an adult Basset Hound.

Step-by-step explanation:

That's what I think because the Basset Hound is 13.8 in. in height right? So he's two inches taller if we round up both numbers. Basset hound would be 14 and welsh corgi would be 11....................okay im not sure i give up but it's either

"An adult Welsh Corgi is always going to be shorter than an adult Basset Hound."

"Basset hounds tend to be a little over two inches taller than Welsh Corgis, but have a higher variability in height.

whichever just not the other ones good luck!

A freight carrier charges $0.57 for a package weighing up to one ounce plus and additional $0.32 for each additional ounce or fr

kherson [118]

We have to write an equation that uses this info so we can find the cost to ship that package. However, the package weight is given to us in grams and we need it in ounces. So first thing we are going to do is convert that 224 g to ounces. Use the fact that 1 g = .035274 ounces to convert. $224g*\frac{.035274oz}{1g}$ . Do the multiplication and cancel out the label of grams and we have 7.901376 ounces. Ok. We know that it costs .57 to mail the package for the first ounce. We have almost 8 ounces. So no matter what, we are paying .57. For each additional ounce we are paying .32. The number of .32's we have to spend depends upon how much the package goes over the first ounce. For the first ounce we pay .57, then for the remaining 6.901376 ounces we pay .32 per ounce. Our equation looks like this: C(x) = .32(6.901376) + .57 and we need to solve for the cost, C(x). Doing the multiplication we find that it would cost $2.78 to ship that package.
