30 PTS!!!!! Cole needs to include at least 11​ mg and at most 22​ mg of iron in his diet each day. Cole plans to eat multiple ba

nanas daily, and each banana has 0.3​ mg of iron. Cole will get the rest of his iron from vitamins. Each whole vitamin contains 4​ mg of iron.
Part A: If Cole eats 3​ bananas each day, what is the least number of whole vitamins he must take in order to stay within his daily iron requirement? What is the greatest number of whole vitamins he can take in order to stay within his daily iron requirement? Use inequalities to solve. Respond in the space provided.

Part B:
Cole continues to eat 3​ bananas each day. He pays $2​ for every 3​ bananas he buys. His first 10​ vitamins are free, but if he purchases more than 10​ vitamins in 1​ week, he pays an additional dollar for every 2​ additional vitamins he purchases.

-Write an equation to describe the total amount of money Cole spends on bananas and vitamins each week.
-If Cole spends a total of $20​ on bananas and vitamins this week and he takes the same number of whole vitamins each day, will he be able to meet his iron requirement every day this week, based on your answer in Part A?

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A:</u> If Cole eats 3​ bananas each day. These 3 bananas contain 3\cdot 0.3=0.9 mg of iron.

Let x be the number of vitamins Cole takes. Each whole vitamin contains 4​ mg of iron, then x vitamins contain 4x mg of iron.

The total amount of iron Cole takes is

0.9+4x\ mg

Cole needs to include at least 11​ mg and at most 22​ mg of iron in his diet each day, so

11\le 0.9+4x\le 22

Solve it:

11-0.9\le 4x\le 22-0.9\\ \\10.1\le 4x\le 21.1\\ \\2.525\le x\le 5.275

The smallest number of vitamins - 3, the greatest number of vitamins - 5.

<u>Part B: </u>Cole continues to eat 3​ bananas each day. He pays \$2\cdot 7=\$14 for bananas per week.

If Cole spends a total of $20​ on bananas and vitamins this week, then he spent $20 - $14 = $6 on vitamins.

Let x be the number of vitamins Cole takes this week.

First 10​ vitamins are free, then x - 10 vitamins each cost $0.50 (he pays an additional dollar for every 2​ additional vitamins he purchases) and they cost

\$0.50(x-10)

This amount of money is exactly $6, so

0.50(x-10)=6\\ \\5(x-10)=60\\ \\x-10=12\\ \\x=22

This means Cole takes 3 vitamins per day (the whole number) and he is able to meet his iron requirement every day this week, based on  answer in Part A.

Find the center, vertices, and foci for the ellipse 25x^2 + 64y^2 = 1600
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Equation               25x² + 64y² = 1600

Process

1.- Divide all the equation by 1600

                             25x²/1600 + 64y²/ 1600 = 1600/1600

-Simplify

                              x²/64 + y²/ 25 = 1

2.- Equation of a horizontal ellipse

                             \frac{x^{2} }{a^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1

3.- Find a, b and c

    a² = 64             a = 8

    b² = 25             b = 5

-Calculate c with the Pythagorean theorem

                   a² = b² + c²

-Solve for c

                   c² = a² - b²

-Substitution

                   c² = 8² - 5²

-Simplification

                  c² = 64 - 25

                  c² = 39

-Result

                  c = √13

4.- Find the center

          C = (0, 0)

5.- Find the vertices

          V1 = (-8, 0)     V2 = (8, 0)

6.- Find the foci

          F1 = (-√13, 0)   F2 = (√13, 0)

The results of a mathematics placement exam at two different campuses of Mercy College follow: Campus Sample Size Sample Mean Po
Leona [35]

Answer:

z=\frac{(33-31)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{8^2}{330}+\frac{7^2}{310}}}}=3.37  

p_v =P(Z>3.37)=1-P(Z  

Comparing the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the mean for the Campus 1 is significantly higher than the mean for the group 2.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

Campus   Sample size     Mean    Population deviation

   1                 330               33                      8

   2                310                31                       7

\bar X_{1}=33 represent the mean for sample 1  

\bar X_{2}=31 represent the mean for sample 2  

\sigma_{1}=8 represent the population standard deviation for 1  

\sigma_{2}=7 represent the population standard deviation for 2  

n_{1}=330 sample size for the group 1  

n_{2}=310 sample size for the group 2  

\alpha Significance level provided  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean for Campus 1 is higher than the mean for Campus 2, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\leq 0  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}> 0  

We have the population standard deviation's, and the sample sizes are large enough we can apply a z test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})-\Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)  

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.  

With the info given we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{(33-31)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{8^2}{330}+\frac{7^2}{310}}}}=3.37  

P value  

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z>3.37)=1-P(Z  

Comparing the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the mean for the Campus 1 is significantly higher than the mean for the group 2.
