A company needs to package 2,400 pencils. A box in the shape of a rectangular prism can hold 60 pencils. A cylindrical container

can hold 80 pencils. Each box costs the company $0.50, while each cylindrical container costs $0.75.
Which packaging should the company use to minimize cost? Explain.

If the company used rectangular prisms it would take 40 boxes (2400/60) to hold 2,400 pencils which would cost $20 (40 times 0.50). If they used cylindrical containers, they would need 30 containers (2400/80) for a total of $22.50 (30*0.75).

To minimize the cost the company should go with rectangular prisms as they are the most cost effective.

A computer manufacturer ships laptop computers with the batteries fully charged so that customers can begin to use their purchas
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The p value obtained and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidenc to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of new laptop's with fully charge for the new model is significantly higher compared to the old model.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation n  

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=96 represent the laptop's arrived with fully charged batteries.

\hat p=\frac{96}{100}=0.96 estimated proportion of laptop's arrived with fully charged batteries.

p_o=0.85 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the new model’s rate is at least as high as the previous model.:  

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.85  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.85  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.96 -0.85}{\sqrt{\frac{0.85(1-0.85)}{100}}}=3.08  

4) Statistical decision  

P value method or p value approach . "This method consists on determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level is not provided, but we can assume \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>3.08)=0.0010  

So based on the p value obtained and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidenc to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of new laptop's with fully charge for the new model is significantly higher compared to the old model.

James has saved $24.60. Dillon saved 2/3 of
stepan [7]

James saved 24.60 dollars, and we know Dillon saved 2/3 of the amount James saved.

Dillon's amount: 2/3 * 24.60 = 16.40

So we have two amounts:

James = 24.60 dollars

Dillon = 16.40

Mara = 16.40 * 2 = 32.80 dollars.

The question is asking for the total, so we add them together:

24.60 + 16.40 + 32.80 = 73.8 dollars.

Samuel and Hayden solved the system of equations –6x – 6y = –6 and 7x + 7y = 7. Samuel says there are infinitely many solutions,
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Samuel is correct i.e  there are infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Samuel and Hayden solved the system of equations –6x – 6y = –6 and 7x + 7y = 7. we have to find that whether the system of equations has infinitely many solutions or not.

A system of linear equations has infinite solutions if the graphs are the exact same line i.e the the equations are equivalent.

The first equation:  –6x – 6y = –6 ⇒ x+y=1 ⇒ y=-x+1

∴ the slope of its line is -1 and the y-intercept is 1

The second equation:  7x + 7y = 7 ⇒  x+y=1 ⇒ y=-x+1

∴ the slope of its line is -1 and the y-intercept is 1.

Here, we get the equation which has the same slope and y-intercept as that of the first equation.

In other words, the two equations are represented by the same line. This implies that the lines intersect infinitely many times, or that the system has infinitely many solutions.

Hence, Samuel is correct.

In a science test devi scores 15 marks more than lixin . If devi obtains twice as many marks as lexin . Find the number of marks
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Lixin obtains 15 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write two equations based on the question where: <u>D= Devi and L=Lixin</u>

D=L+15 <em>- "devi scores 15 marks more than lixin"</em>

D=2L <em>- "devi obtains twice as many marks as lexin"</em>

Now, substitute 2L as D in the first equation we wrote: (D=L+15)

2L=L+15

Next, subtract L from both sides:

<u>L=15</u>

Mikayla is training for a half-marathon. At the beginning of her training, she is able to run 2 miles without stopping. Her goal
ivanzaharov [21]

Alright, lets get started.

At the beginning of her training, she is able to run 2 miles without stopping means 2 will be in the addition when we will write the equation for her running miles.

Her goal is to increase her distance by three quarters of a mile each week.

Means in first week, she will add the distance = \frac{3}{4} miles

Suppose she runs x weeks, so shee will add distance = \frac{3}{4}x

So, suppose she runs total number of miles = d, then

d = 2 + \frac{3}{4}x

Where d is total numer of miles she runs

x is number of weeks    :   Answer

Hope it will help :)
