      Slope = Rise / Run
      Road grade is vertical increase ( Rise ) divided by the horizontal increase ( Run ).
      The boat ramp:
      Road Grade (B) = 6 ft / 36 ft = 1/6 = 0.167
      The road:
      Road Grade (R) = 12 % = 0.12
      0.167 > 0.12
      Answer: The boat ramp is steeper.

After four years of college, Erica has to start paying off all her student loans. Her first payment is due at the end of this mo
tatiyna

Answer:

Therefore, the approximate monthly payment is $548.85

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of student loans Erica currently has = $34,006.00

The duration over which Erica is to pay back the loan = 7 years

The annual interest rate for the loan = 9.1%

Therefore, we have the geometric sequence formula is given as follows;

A_n = P( 1 + r)^n - M \times \left [ \dfrac{(1 + r)^n-1}{r} \right ]

Where;

M = The monthly payment

P = The initial loan balance = $34,006.00

r = The annual interest rate = 9.1%

n = The number of monthly payment = 7 × 12 = 84

Aₙ = The amount remaining= 0 at the end of the given time for payment

Substituting the values into the above formula, , we get;

0 = 34006 \times \left ( 1 + \dfrac{0.091}{12} \right )^{84} - M \times \left [ \dfrac{\left (1 + \dfrac{0.091}{12} \right )^{84}-1}{\dfrac{0.091}{12} } \right ]

M = \dfrac{34006 \times \left ( 1 + \dfrac{0.091}{12} \right )^{84}  }{\left [ \dfrac{\left (1 + \dfrac{0.091}{12} \right )^{84}-1}{\dfrac{0.091}{12} } \right ]} \approx 548.85

Therefore, the approximate monthly payment = $548.85

Harper went into a movie theater and bought 10 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks,
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The price of a drink = $4

The price of a bag of popcorn = $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent popcorn and d represent drink

<u>Harper bought 10 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks and paid $79 ➡ 10p + 6d = $79</u>

<em>Damian bought 3 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks and paid $36.50 ➡ 3p + 5d = $36.50</em>

Now multiply first equation by -3 and second equation by 10

-3 × (10p + 6d) = $79 ➡ -30p - 18d = -$237

10 × (3p + 5d) = $36.50 ➡ 30p + 50d = $365

Now add the new equationd

30p + 50d -30p - 18d = $365 - $237 (-30p will eliminate 30p)

32d = $128 divide both sides of the equation by 32

32 ÷ 32d = 32 ÷ $128 ➡ d = 4

If d = 4 that means a drink costs $4 we can use this information to find the price of a bag of popcorn

3p + 5d = $36.50 (replace d with 4)

3p + 4×5 = $36.50

3p + 20 = $36.50

3p = $36.50 - 20

3p = 16.50 divide both sides by 3

p = $5.5

You are having a meeting with the CEO of a soda company. You have interpreted the number of cans of soda produced versus profit
LenaWriter [7]
The shape of the graph is similar to the letter W; however, the region of interest will lie on the right of the origin, which means only the right half of the W(a negative number of cans cannot be produced). The profit produced will be maximized if the number of cans produced is greater than 3. The company will be at a loss if the number of cans produced is near 2.5. The break even situations are present if the company produces 2 or 3 cans.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The center/ mean will almost be equal, and the variability of simulation B will be higher than the variability of simulation A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Normally, a distribution sample is mostly affected by sample size.

As a rule, sampling error decreases by half by increasing the  sample size four times.

In this case, B sample is 2 times higher the A sample size.

Now, the Mean sampling error is affected and is not higher for A.

But it's sample is huge for this, Thus, they are almost equal

Variability of simulation decreases with increase in number of trials. A has less variability.

With increase number of trials, variability of simulation decreases, so A has less variability.
