The total square footage of mini storage units being rented in a city is graphed to forecast future demand. The scatter plot has

a trend line y=0.538x + 9.02, where x = 0 is the year 2005 and y is the total area rented (in ten thousand square feet) of all mini storage units in the city. If the total area rented continues to increase at the same rate, about how many square feet of mini storage units will be needed by the year 2018?
A 190,000 sq ft
B 160,000 sq ft
C 19,000 sq ft
D 16,000 sq ft

Answer:

B 160,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

2018 is 13 years after 2005.

Put x=13 in the equation and evaluate:

... y = 0.538·13 +9.02 = 6.994 +9.02 = 16.014

This is the number of 10,000 sq ft, so the required area is ...

... 16 times 10,000 sq ft = 160,000 sq ft.

Answer:

D) 16,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot has a trend line y = 0.538x + 9.02, where "x" represents the number years and "y" represents the area rented.

x =0, when the year 2005

Here we need to find the storage area needed in the year 2018

Therefore, x = 13 in the year 2018.

Now plug in x = 13 in the given equation and find the value of y.

y = 0.538(13) + 9.02

y = 6.99 + 9.02

y = 16.01 thousand square feet

y = 16.01 *1000

y = 16,010 square feet

The nearest approximate value 16,000 sq.ft

The answer is D) 16,000 sq ft

Thank you.

The population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with a mean of 30.05 inches and a standard dev

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

(a) Probability that a sheet selected at random from the population is between 30.25 and 30.65 inches long = 0.15716

(b) Probability that a standard normal random variable will be between .3 and 3.2 = 0.3814

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with;

Mean, $\mu$ = 30.05 inches and Standard deviation, $\sigma$ = 0.2 inches

Let X = A sheet selected at random from the population

Here, the standard normal formula is ;

Z = $\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

(a) <em>The Probability that a sheet selected at random from the population is between 30.25 and 30.65 inches long = P(30.25 < X < 30.65) </em>

P(30.25 < X < 30.65) = P(X < 30.65) - P(X <= 30.25)

P(X < 30.65) = P( $\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{30.65 - 30.05}{0.2}$ ) = P(Z < 3) = 1 - P(Z >= 3) = 1 - 0.001425

= 0.9985

P(X <= 30.25) = P( $\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ <= $\frac{30.25 - 30.05}{0.2}$ ) = P(Z <= 1) = 0.84134

Therefore, P(30.25 < X < 30.65) = 0.9985 - 0.84134 = 0.15716 .

(b)<em> Let Y = Standard Normal Variable is given by N(0,1) </em>

<em> Which means mean of Y = 0 and standard deviation of Y = 1</em>

So, Probability that a standard normal random variable will be between 0.3 and 3.2 = P(0.3 < Y < 3.2) = P(Y < 3.2) - P(Y <= 0.3)

P(Y < 3.2) = P( $\frac{Y - \mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{3.2 - 0}{1}$ ) = P(Z < 3.2) = 1 - P(Z >= 3.2) = 1 - 0.000688

= 0.99931

P(Y <= 0.3) = P( $\frac{Y - \mu}{\sigma}$ <= $\frac{0.3 - 0}{1}$ ) = P(Z <= 0.3) = 0.61791

Therefore, P(0.3 < Y < 3.2) = 0.99931 - 0.61791 = 0.3814 .

the ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 21:8:14 if the perimeter of the triangle is 215 feet find the length of

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle

add the parts of the ratio 21 + 8 + 14 = 43

divide the perimeter by 43 to find the value of one part of the ratio

= 5 ft ← 1 part of the ratio, hence

21 parts = 21 × 5 = 105 ft

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ft

14 parts = 14 × 5 = 70 ft

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft

Two commuters leave the same city at the same time but travel in opposite directions. One car is traveling at an average speed o

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to relate speed, distance and time is:

D = V * t

Where D is the distance, V is the speed and t is the time.

As they are in opposite directions, we need to sum the speed.

So the total speed is:

V = 63 + 59 = 122 mph

So using this value and V and using D = 610, we have:

610 = 122 * t

t = 610 / 122 = 5 hours

So they will be 610 miles apart after 5 hours.

What is the greatest common factor (gcf) of the numerator and denominator in the rational expression below? 7x+14/2x^2+x-6

Mashutka [201]

The answer is C. The numerator 7x+14 can be factored as 7(x+2). The denominator 2x^2+2x-6 can be factored as (x+2)(2x-3). The greatest common divisor of 7(x+2) and (x+2)(2x-3) is obviously x+2, which is contained in both of the two expressions.
