Lucy wants to have a fun-filled day without spending too much money. The local zoo charges a $25 entry fee and a parking fee of

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The required system of equations is,

$y=25+x$

$y=20+2x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours spent by Lucy = x

It is given that,

Local zoo charges initial fee $25 and per hour fee $1.

So, the equation representing the cost if Lucy stays 'x' hours is,

$y=25+x$ in dollars.

Also, Local citcus charges initial fee $20 and per hour fee $2.

So, the equation representing the cost if Lucy stays 'x' hours is,

$y=20+2x$ in dollars.

Since, the objective function for the situation is to 'minimize the cost'.

So, upon solving the equations, we will get the minimum value as,

25+x = 20+2x

i.e. x= 5

Thus,

$y=25+x$ implies $y=25+5$ i.e. y= $30

$y=20+2x$ implies $y=20+2\times 5$ i.e. $y=20+10$ i.e. y= $30

Thus, the minimum value is $30.

The required system of equations is,

$y=25+x$

$y=20+2x$ .

Suppose that we've decided to test Clara, who works at the Psychic Center, to see if she really has psychic abilities. While tal

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

A) 3.5

B) 1.6202

Step-by-step explanation:

In binomial distribution,

E(X) = np and Var(X) = npq while

SD (X) = √(npq)

Where n is number of cards drawn

p is probability of getting one particular shape

q = 1-p

So from the question, n = 14

p = 13/52 = 1/4

q = 1-(1/4) = 3/4

So;

A) E(x) = np = 14 x 1/4 = 3.5

B) SD (X) = √(npq) = √(14 x 1/4 x 3/4) = √(42/16) = √2.625 = 1.6202

Felipe planted some seeds for a science project. One of his plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week, and then it grew 5 11/14

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

<em>The plant grew </em> $12\frac{1}{14}$ <em> inches</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Operations with Fractions</u>

Felipe planted seeds for a science project. One of the plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week and 5 11/14 inches in the second week.

We are required to find the total growth during the two weeks. We have to find the sum of:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}$

Let's convert both fractions to improper form:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=6+\frac{2}{7}+5+\frac{11}{14}$

Adding the integers:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{2}{7}+\frac{11}{14}$

Now we find the LCM of 7 and 14 is 14, thus:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{4}{14}+\frac{11}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{15}{14}=11+\frac{14+1}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+1+\frac{1}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=12+\frac{1}{14}$

Rewriting as a mixed number:

The plant grew $12\frac{1}{14}$ inches

The CEO of a local tech company wants to estimate the proportion of employees that are pleased with the cleanliness of the break

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Methods of obtaining a sample of 600 employees from the 4,700 workforce:

Part A: The type of sampling method proposed by the CEO is Convenience Sampling.

Part B: When there are equal number of participants in both campuses, stratification by campus would give a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender. Another method to ensure that stratification by campus gives a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender is to ensure that the sample is proportional to the proportion of each campus to the whole population or workforce.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Convenience Sampling technique is a non-probability (non-random) sampling method and the participants are selected based on availability (early attendees). The early attendees might be different from the late attendees in characteristics such as age, sex, etc. Therefore, sampling biases are present. All non-probability sampling methods are prone to volunteer bias.

Stratified sampling is more accurate and representative of the population. It reduces sampling bias. The difficulty arises in choosing the characteristic to stratify by.
