Answer:

423

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean is a point estimate of the population mean.

Therefore a point estimate of the mean oxide thickness for all wafers in the population is the mean of the sample data on the oxide thickness of semiconductor wafers.

To calculate the sample mean, we sum all the sample data and divide by the sample size which is 24. We get 423.33 ≈423

When a problem involves more than one unit for a characteristic ( such as length) how can you tell which unit use is more approp

Art [367]

In the absence of clues, it is a judgment call.

Often, the problem statement or answer choices will tell you the desired units.

In general, units are available so that you can express dimensions in 4 or fewer digits with appropriate units. There are a few gaps, but the reason units are what they are is to make expressing everyday values easy to do.

SI units are easy to work with on this score, as the various available prefixes ensure that you can always express a quantity using a number between 1 and 1000. This is generally what you want to do (in the absence of direction otherwise).

For some things, there are customary units that are expected. Vehicle speed is unusally miles (or kilometers) per hour, for example. Land area is usually square feet, acres, or square miles in US units, or square meters, hectares, or square kilometers in SI units.

Generally, too, it is appreciated by your reader if the units you choose are ones they are familiar with. In most applications, you'd choose feet or yards or miles instead of furlongs, for example (unless your audience is familiar with racetrack distances).

The area of a small pond is 78.5 yds. What is the diameter of the pond?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Diameter of pound = 10 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Given area of circular pond = 78.5 square yd

To find the diameter of the pond.

Solution:

The pond being circular in shape, the area of pond can be given as:

⇒ $\pi\ r^2$

where $r$ represents radius of the pond.

Thus, we have:

⇒ $\pi\ r^2=78.5$

Using $\pi=3.14$

⇒ $3.14r^2=78.5$

Solving for $r$

Dividing both sides by 3.14

⇒ $\frac{3.14r^2}{3.14}=\frac{78.5}{3.14}$

⇒ $r^2=25$

Taking square root both sides.

⇒ $\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{25}$

⇒ $r=\pm5$

So, radius = 5 yd, as distances are always positive.

Diameter = $2\times radius=2\times 5\ yd= 10\ yd$

Thus, diameter of pound = 10 yd

Express f(x) = |x-2| +|x+2| in the non-modulus form. Hence, sketch the graph of f.

alexgriva [62]

Recall that

$|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x$

There are three cases to consider:

(1) When $x+2$ , we have $|x+2|=-(x+2)$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)-(x+2)=-2x-4$

(2) When $x+2\ge0$ and $x-2$ , we get $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)+(x+2)=4$

(3) When $x-2\ge0$ , we have $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=x-2$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=(x-2)+(x+2)=2x$

So

$|x-2|+|x+2|=\begin{cases}-2x-4&\text{if }x$

Tim has an after-school delivery service that he provides for several small retailers in town. He uses his bicycle and charges $

nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>$4.84</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

For delivery within $1\frac{1}2$ mi, charges = $1.25

For delivery within $1\frac{1}2$ mi - $1\frac{3}4$ mi, charges = $1.70

For delivery within $1\frac{3}4$ mi - 2 mi, charges = $2.15

and

so on.

i.e.

For delivery within 2 mi - 2 $\frac{1}4$ mi, charges = $2.60

For delivery within 2 $\frac{1}4$ mi - 2 $\frac{1}2$ mi, charges = $3.05

For delivery within 2 $\frac{1}2$ mi - 2 $\frac{3}4$ mi, charges = $3.50

For delivery within 2 $\frac{3}4$ mi - 3 mi, charges = $3.95

For delivery within 3 mi - 3 $\frac{1}4$ mi, charges = $4.40

So, every 0.25 mi or $\frac{1}4$ mi increase in distance, there is an increase of $0.45 in the charges.

It is given that there is increase of 10% in the rates.

i.e. for every 0.25 mi increase in distance, there is an increase of 0.45*1.10 = $0.495 in the charges.

The distance of $3\frac{1}8$ miles lies within the range 3 mi - 3 $\frac{1}4$ mi.

So actual charges after increase of 10%

$\Rightarrow \$4.40 \times \dfrac{110}{100}\\\Rightarrow \$4.40 \times 1.10\\\Rightarrow \bold{\$4.84}$
