Answer: Sylvia should use 35 pounds of Kona coffee and 65 pounds of Columbian coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of Kona coffee that Sylvia should use.

Let y represent the number of pounds of Columbian coffee that Sylvia should use.

Sylvia wants to mix 100 pounds of Breakfast Blend coffee. This means that

x + y = 100

She is using two types of coffee to create the mixture. Kona coffee sells for $51 per pound and Columbian coffee sells for $11 per pound and the mixture would sell for $25 per pound.

This means that

51x + 11y = 2500 - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 100 - y into equation 1, it becomes

51(100 - y) + 11y = 2500

5100 - 51y + 11y = 2500

- 51y + 11y = 2500 - 5100

- 40y = - 2600

y = - 2600/-40

y = 65

x = 100 - y

x = 100 - 65 = 35

The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22
NISA [10]

Answer:

a) v(2\,s) = 2.9\,\frac{m}{s}, b) v(4\,s) = -16.7\,\frac{m}{s}, c) t = 2.296\,s, d) h (2.296\,s) = 27.829\,m, e) t \approx 4.679\,s, f) v(4.679\,s) = -23.354\,\frac{m}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity function can be derived by the differentiating the height function:

v = 22.5-9.8\cdot t

Velocities after 2 and 4 seconds are, respectively:

a) v(2\,s) = 2.9\,\frac{m}{s}

b) v(4\,s) = -16.7\,\frac{m}{s}

The maximum height is reached when velocity is zero. Then:

22.5-9.8\cdot t = 0

c) t = 2.296\,s

The maximum height is:

d) h (2.296\,s) = 27.829\,m

The time required to hit the ground is:

-4.9\cdot t^{2}+22.5\cdot t +2 = 0

Roots of the second-order polynomial are:

t_{1} \approx 4.679\,s

t_{2} \approx -0.087\,s

Only the first root is physically reasonable.

e) t \approx 4.679\,s

The velocity when the projectile hits the ground is:

f) v(4.679\,s) = -23.354\,\frac{m}{s}

From Statistics and Data Analysis from Elementary to Intermediate by Tamhane and Dunlop, pg 265. A thermostat used in an electri
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

t=\frac{201.77-200}{\frac{2.41}{\sqrt{10}}}=2.32    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9  

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>2.32)=0.0455    

For this case since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 200 F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

data: 202.2 203.4 200.5 202.5 206.3 198.0 203.7 200.8 201.3 199.0

We can calculate the sample mean and deviation with the following formulas:

\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

\bar X=201.77 represent the sample mean    

s=2.41 represent the sample standard deviation    

n=10 sample size    

\mu_o =200 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to test

We want to determine if the true mean is equal to 200, the system of hypothesis are :    

Null hypothesis:\mu = 200    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu = 200    

The statistic for this case is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

The statistic is given by:

t=\frac{201.77-200}{\frac{2.41}{\sqrt{10}}}=2.32    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9  

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>2.32)=0.0455    

For this case since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 200 F.

Charles wants to find out if the students in foreign language classes spend more time in class speaking in English or in the for
Nuetrik [128]

C. The way the sample was chosen may overrepresent or underrepresent students taking certain language classes.

The samples he chose may not be a representative sample because the number of students per foreign language class may not be the same. Since classes have different numbers of students, one may have a very large number of students while another may have only a few. Taking equal number of students per class is not a representative sample because it doesn't represent the students correctly.
