Each beehives on Larson’s honey farm usually produces 85lbs of honey per year. About how many pounds of honey will 10,000 hives

produce in a year?

If one of Larson's beehives produces 85lbs of honey, you need to multiply it with the given number of hives, which is 10,000.

So: 85 * 10,000 = 850,000lbs

(b) For those values of k, verify that every member of the family of functions y = A sin(kt) + B cos(kt) is also a solution. y =

Answer:

Check attachment for complete question

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y=Coskt

We are looking for value of k, that satisfies 4y''=-25y

Let find y' and y''

y=Coskt

y'=-kSinkt

y''=-k²Coskt

Then, applying this 4y'"=-25y

4(-k²Coskt)=-25Coskt

-4k²Coskt=-25Coskt

Divide through by Coskt and we assume Coskt is not equal to zero

-4k²=-25

k²=-25/-4

k²=25/4

Then, k=√(25/4)

k= ± 5/2

b. Let assume we want to use this

y=ASinkt+BCoskt

Since k= ± 5/2

y=A•Sin(±5/2t)+ B •Cos(±5/2t)

y'=±5/2ACos(±5/2t)-±5/2BSin(±5/2t)

y''=-25/4ASin(±5/2t)-25/4BCos(±5/2t

Then, inserting this to our equation given to check if it a solution to y=ASinkt+BCoskt

4y''=-25y

For 4y''

4(-25/4ASin(±5/2t)-25/4BCos(±5/2t))

-25A•Sin(±5/2t)-25B•Cos(±5/2t).

Then,

-25y

-25(A•Sin(±5/2t)+ B •Cos(±5/2t))

-25A•Sin(±5/2t) - 25B •Cos(±5/2t)

Then, we notice that, 4y'' is equal to -25y, then we can say that y=Coskt is a solution to y=ASinkt+BCoskt

The heights of a random sample of 50 college students showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of 6.9 centime

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

For me, the first step to any statistics exercise is to determine what is the variable of interest and it's distribution.

In this example the variable is:

X: height of a college student. (cm)

There is no information about the variable distribution. To estimate the population mean you need a variable with at least a normal distribution since the mean is a parameter of it.

The option you have is to apply the Central Limit Theorem.

The central limit theorem states that if you have a population with probability function f(X;μ,δ²) from which a random sample of size n is selected. Then the distribution of the sample mean tends to the normal distribution with mean μ and variance δ²/n when the sample size tends to infinity.

As a rule, a sample of size greater than or equal to 30 is considered sufficient to apply the theorem and use the approximation.

The sample size in this exercise is n=50 so we can apply the theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal:

X[bar]~~N(μ;σ2/n)

Thanks to this approximation you can use an approximation of the standard normal to calculate the confidence interval:

98% CI

1 - α: 0.98

⇒α: 0.02

α/2: 0.01

$Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{1-0.01}= Z_{0.99} =2.334$

X[bar] ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }$

174.5 ± $2.334* \frac{6.9}{\sqrt{50} }$

[172.22; 176.78]

With a confidence level of 98%, you'd expect that the true average height of college students will be contained in the interval [172.22; 176.78].

I hope it helps!

Compare your prediction with the total number of pennies on Row 1. How would you change your estimate? Is the result surprising?

Ron is selling items at a craft show. The first hour his sales are $20. His sales grow by 10% each hour. What are Ron's total sa

solong [7]

C. $122.10. You take 20, then take 10 percent of that to find the second hour's earnings (which is $22), then you take 10% of that number to find the next hour's earnings, and so on and so on until you reach the 5th hour. When you add all the values up, you get $122.10.
