A 10 ft board is to be cut into three pieces, two equal- length ones and the third 9 in shorter than each of the other two. If the cutting does not result in any length being lost, how long are the pieces?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let  x  represent one of the equal length sides making the third side which is  3  inches shorter than each of the other two equal to:

Third piece  =  x − 3 . Knowing that the whole board is  10  feet, in inches it is:

10  feet  ×  12  inches / 1  foot  =  120  inches

To find the length of the pieces, add them and equate it to the legth of the board in inches as shown below:

x  +  x  +  x  −  3  =  120  + 3

3 x /3  =  123 /3

x  =  41  inches

Third piece  =  x  −  3  =  

41  −  3  

=  38  inches

Based on historical data in Oxnard college, we believe that 37% of freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly. For this year, you would like to obtain a new sample to estimate the proportiton of freshmen who do not visit their counselors regularly. You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 3.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required

Answers

Answer:

A sample size of 1031 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

37% of freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.37[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].

You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 3.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?

A sample size of n is required.

n is found when M = 0.035. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.035 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.37*0.63}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.035\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.37*0.63}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.37*0.63}}{0.035}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.37*0.63}}{0.035})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 1030.4[/tex]

Rounding up:

Answer: a is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

At 25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

123,000 x 2.375% = 2,921.25.  This gives you the rate that the population is decreasing.  How long will it take to get to 50,000. Do reverse operations to find this answer: 123,000 - 50,000 = 73,000,  the population need to decrease by 73,000 to get to 50,000.  So let's multiply our rate of 2,921.25 x 25 = 73,031  and our final step..  123,000 - 73,031 = 49,969 below 50,000

(a) Calculate and interpret the sample mean and median. The sample mean is x

Answers

The sample mean is $641.80 thousand and the sample median is $583 thousand.

This means that the average sale price for a home in this sample was $641.80 thousand and that half the sales were for less than the median price and  price and half the sales were more than the median price.

Mean is the average of a set of numbers. It is determined by adding the numbers together and dividing it by the total number

Mean = sum of the numbers / total number

sum of the numbers = $ (591 + 820 + 575 + 607 + 349 + 1,288 + 412 +  543 + 557+  676) = 6418

total number = 10

Mean = $6418 / 10 = $641.80

= $641.80 thousand

Median can be described as the number that occurs in the middle of a set of numbers that are arranged either in ascending or descending order

Arranging the prices in ascending order : 349, 412, 543, 557, 575, 591, 607, 676, 820, 1288

The two numbers in the middle of the set of numbers are 575 and 591

Median = (575 + 591) / 2 = $583

Answer:

Option B. m(n) = –5.75 –¼n

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is given below:

–6, –25/4, –13/2, –27/4, –7

Next, we shall determine the common difference.

Common difference (d) = 2nd – First

2nd term = –25/4

First term = –6

d = –25/4 – – 6

d = –25/4 + 6

d = –6.25 + 6

d = –0.25 = –¼

Finally, we shall determine the nth term

Tₙ = a + (n –1)d

First term (a) = –6

Common difference (d) = –¼

Tₙ = a + (n –1)d

Tₙ = –6 + (n –1)–¼

Tₙ = –6 –¼n + ¼

Tₙ = –6 + ¼ –¼n

Tₙ = –6 + 0.25 –¼n

Tₙ = –5.75 –¼n

Thus, the nth term is given by:

m(n) = –5.75 –¼n

A charm is $3.50.

We can also find the initial price of the bracelet by taking the first term and subtracting off one charm.

Step-by-step explanation:

x° + 100° + 3x° = 180° => 4x°+100°=180° => 4x=180°-100°=80° => x=80° : 4 = 20° => x=20°

The value of angle x will be equal to 20°.

What is a supplementary angle?

If two angles sum up to 180 degrees, they are referred to as supplementary angles. A straight angle is created by supplementary angles (180 degrees)

The angle is defined as the span between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.

Given that the three angles are x, 3x, and 100 degrees. The value of the angle x will be calculated as below:-

For supplementary angles, the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.

x° + 100° + 3x° = 180°

4x°+100°=180°

4x=180°-100°=80°

x=80° : 4  

x=20°

Therefore, the value of angle x will be equal to 20°.
