Mrs.Helio has 2 3/4 acres of farmland. she will plant corn on 1/4 of this land, potatoes on 1/12 of the land, wheat on 5/8 of th

e land and beans on the rest of the land. Mrs. Hello is thinking about planting less wheatvand more potatoes. if she changes the number of acres used for wheat to 1 1/2, how many acres will be left for the potatoes

2 3/4 acres is the same as 11/4 acres
To find how much of the land is beans, find how much is already taken up, and the rest is beans.
Farmland-Corn-Potatoes-Wheat=Beans
1-(1/4)-(1/12)-(5/8)=1/24

Corn: (1/4)x(11/4)=11/16 acres
Potatoes: (1/12)x(11/4)=11/48 acres
Wheat: (5/8)x(11/4)=55/32 acres or 1 23/32 acres
<span>Beans: (1/24)x(11/4)=11/96 acres</span>

a barangay has 1000 individuals and its population doubles every 60 years. Give an exponential model for the barangay's populati

sdas [7]

Answer:

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the population of barangay be expressed according to the exponential formula;

P(t) = P0e^kt

P(t) is the population of the country after t years

P0 is the initial population

t is the time

If barangay has 1000 initially, this means that P0 = 1000

If the population doubles after 60years then;

at t = 60, P(t) = 2P0

Substitute into the formula

2P0 = P0e^k(60)

2 = e^60k

Apply ln to both sides

ln2 = lne^60k

ln2 = 60k

k = ln2/60

k = 0.01155

Substitute k = 0.01155 and P0 into the expression

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Hence an exponential model for barangay's population is

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) We can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval

(3) A survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 48% said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college = 48%

n = sample of American adults = 331

p = population proportion of Americans who decide to not go to

college because they cannot afford it

<em>Here for constructing a 90% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test for proportions.</em>

<em />

<u>So, 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;</u>

P(-1.645 < N(0,1) < 1.645) = 0.90 {As the critical value of z at 5% level

of significance are -1.645 & 1.645}

P(-1.645 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.645) = 0.90

P( $-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < $\hat p-p$ < $1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

P( $\hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

<u>90% confidence interval for p</u> = [ $\hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.48 -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } }$ , $0.48 +1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } }$ ]

= [0.4348, 0.5252]

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval.

3) Now, it is given that we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

So, the margin of error = $Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$

$0.015 = 1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n} }$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645 \times \sqrt{0.48 \times 0.52} }{0.015}$

$\sqrt{n}$ = 54.79

n = $54.79^{2}$

n = 3001.88 ≈ 3002

Hence, a survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

What number is represented by 4x²+17x+2 if x=10?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

at x = 10, $4x^{2} + 17x + 2 = 572$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is $4x^{2} + 17x + 2$

Here, lets substitute the value of x = 10

So, the equation simplifies to ,

$4 \times (10)^{2} + 17(10) + 2$

= (4 x 100) + 170 + 2 = 400 + 170 + 2

= 572

So, at x = 10, $4x^{2} + 17x + 2 = 572$

Which expression has the same GCF as 15x2 - 21x?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$15x^2 +21 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$15x^2 -21 x$

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are -21,-7,-3,-1,1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

If we consider the new expression:

$15x^2 +21x$

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are 1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

And as we can see both GCF are equal. So then we satisfy the condition required.
