The total fuel needs for the journey is $18.50

Further Explanation

Given:

Average fuel = 8 miles/gallon

Fuel cost = 83 cents/gallon

In order to calculate the journey cost in fuel we need information about the distance between Oban and Stranraer. With doing a little research, we find out that the total distance between to city is approximately 178 miles.

First step

Calculate the fuel needed for the entire journey (x) =

\frac{Total distance}{x gallon} = \frac{average distance}{gallon}

\frac{178}{x gallon} = \frac{ 8}{gallon}

x gallon = \frac{178}{8}  = 22.25 gallon

Total fuel needed for the entire journey is 22.25 gallon

<u>Next step</u>

Calculate the total cost for the journey

= Total fuel x Price/gallon

= 22.25 gallon x 83 cents = 1846.75 cents which is equal to $18.47 or $ 18.50 (to the nearest 5 cents)

Answer:

$18.56

Step-by-step explanation:    

Since we know that distance between Oban and Stranraer is 178.9 miles.

Let us find the number of gallons of fuel used during the journey by dividing total distance traveled by distance traveled per gallon of fuel.

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{gallon}}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8}\times \frac{\text{gallon}}{\text{miles}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=22.3625\text{gallon}

Now let us find the total cost of fuel for the journey by multiplying number of gallons of fuel used by cost of per gallon fuel ($0.83).

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=22.3625\times\$0.83

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=\$18.560875\approx \$18.56

Therefore, the journey will cost $18.56 in fuel.

A control chart is developed to monitor the analysis of iron levels in human blood. The lines on the control chart were obtained
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable is X: iron level on human blood.

It has a mean of μ= 51.50 mg/dl and a standard deviation of σ= 3.50 mg/dl.

According to the control chart, the process should be shut down for troubleshooting when the analysis shows values X[bar]≥ 53.42 mg/dl and X[bar]≤ 49.58 mg/dl

Warnings are received at levels X[bar]≥52.78 mg/dl and X[bar]≤ 50.22 mg/dl

The system works between levels 49.58<X[bar]<53.42 and works without warnings between 50.22<X[bar]<52.78.

Using these parameters you have to analyze if the lists of sample means to see which ones are within the working values are wich ones are outside this interval.

<u>Sample 1</u>

Min= 50.15

Max= 51.99

Mean= 51.61

Without warning 50.22<X[bar]<52.78

Without Action interval 49.58<X[bar]<53.42

<em>This sample's min value is below the lower limit of the warning interval but not low enough to reach action levels, the max value is within the working range.</em>

<em><u /></em>

<u>Sample 2 </u>

Min= 50.32

Max= 52.56

Mean= 51.16

Without warning 50.22<X[bar]<52.78

Without Action interval 49.58<X[bar]<53.42

<em>Both the max and min values of the sample are within the working range without warning.</em>

<em />

<u>Sample 3</u>

Min= 50.25

Max= 53.12

Mean= 51.83

Without warning 50.22<X[bar]<52.78

Without Action interval 49.58<X[bar]<53.42

<em>The max value of this sample is above the upper limit of the warning interval but does not surpass the upper bond of the troubleshoot interval. Min value is within working values.</em>

<em />

<u>Sample 4</u>

Min= 50.05

Max= 53.01

Mean= 51.70

Without warning 50.22<X[bar]<52.78

Without Action interval 49.58<X[bar]<53.42

<em>Both min and max values surpass the warning interval but do not reach action levels</em>.

<u>Sample 5</u>

Min= 50.35

Max= 52.71

Mean= 51.37

Without warning 50.22<X[bar]<52.78

Without Action interval 49.58<X[bar]<53.42

<em>Both min and max values are within working levels without warnings.</em>

<em />

Considering that samples reaching warning levels should be shut down as a precaution, they are classified as:

Shutdown: Sample 1, 3 and 4

Do not shutdown: Sample 2 and 5.

I hope it helps!

A statue is mounted on top of a 16 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 77 feet and the statue subt
DanielleElmas [232]

Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.

You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:

\tan 13.2^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}} =\dfrac{16+h}{77}, \\ \\ 0.2345=\dfrac{16+h}{77},\\  \\ 16+h=0.2345\cdot 77=18.0565,\\ h=18.0565-16=2.0565 ft.

Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.
