The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly due to our use of fossil fuels. Because plants use CO2 to fuel photosynthesis, more CO2 may cause trees and other plants to grow faster. An elaborate apparatus allows researchers to pipe extra CO2 to a 30-meter circle of forest. They selected two nearby circles in each of three parts of a pine forest and randomly chose one of each pair to receive extra CO2. The response variable is the mean increase in base area for 30 to 40 trees in a circle during a growing season. We measure this in percent increase per year. Here are one year's data.

Pair Control plot Treated plot
1 9.728 10.748

Required:
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Explain clearly why the investigators used a one-sided alternative.

1. The researchers have no preconceived idea what extra CO2 will do to the growth rate.
2. The researchers have reason to believe that CO2 will decrease growth rate.

Mr. Javier purchased a number of pencils for ₱180 and sold all except 6 at a profit of ₱2 per pencil. With the total amount received, he could buy 30 more items than before. Find the number of items he bought and the cost of each in pesos

Answers

Answer:

36 pencils

[tex]Cost = 0.2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost Price = 180

Represent the number of items by x

This implies that the cost of each item is [tex]\frac{x}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = Cost + Profit[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = \frac{x}{180} + 2[/tex]

Since all but 6 items were sold, the total selling price is:

[tex]Total = (x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2)[/tex]

This amount can be used to buy 30 more items.

So, we have:

[tex](x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2) = x + 30[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 180

[tex]180 * (x - 6)(\frac{x}{180} + 2) =180(x + 30)[/tex]

[tex](x - 6)(x + 360) = 180x + 5400[/tex]

Expand brackets

[tex]x\² + 360x - 6x - 2160 = 180x + 5400[/tex]

[tex]x\² + 354x - 2160 = 180x + 5400[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]x\² + 354x - 180x - 2160 - 5400 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x\² + 174x - 7560 = 0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x\² + 210x - 36x - 7560 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x(x + 210) - 36(x + 210) = 0[/tex]

[tex](x - 36)(x + 210) = 0[/tex]

[tex]x - 36 = 0[/tex] or [tex]x + 210 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = 36[/tex] or [tex]x = -210[/tex]

Since, number of items can't be negative, we have to discard x = -210.

Hence:

[tex]x = 36[/tex]

We can then conclude that, Mr. Javier purchased 36 pencils

Recall that

[tex]Cost = \frac{x}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Cost = \frac{36}{180}[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 0.2[/tex]

A machine in a factory produces 25 gismos a day. After a $174 repair job, the machine improves its gizmo output by 16%.If the sale of a gizmo makes a profit of 75cents, the number of days it will take to recover the machine's repair is???




PLEAS HELP ME!!!

Answers

Answer:

Around 10 days ( 9.28 days: 9 days 6 hours 43 minutes 12 seconds).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 25 gizmos are produced each day, and 75 ¢ are made off of each one, a 174$ repair job will take away money that will need to be paid off.

We can create the following equation by using the amount of gizmos earned per day(x or time) multiplied the money made off of each one(in cents ¢), is equal to the repair job since it will be paid off once it is canceled out.

25x(75¢) = 174$.

Since the money made by each gizmo is in cents and not dollars, it is best to convert this into dollars since the repair job is in this form. Because 100¢ are in each dollar, 75¢ = 75/100 dollars = 3/4 dollars.

3/4 * 25 x = (3/4) * (25x) = (25*3) / 4 = 75/4x

(75/4)x = 174$

(75/4x) * (4/75) = (174$) * (4/75)

x = (174 * 4) / 75

x = 696 / 75

x = 9.28

We are multiplying by the reciprocal (numerator and denominator are switched) since it will make your coefficient 1 which is the variable itself. anything times it's reciprocal is equal to one.

75/4x = 174$

×4 ×4

(cancel out the denominator)

____________

75x = 696$

÷ 75 ÷ 75

(cancel out 75 to get the variable by itself)

___________

x = 696/75

x = 232/25

x = 928/100

x = 9.28

___________

Using a system of equation, the number of days it will take to recuvwr the repair cost is 58 days.

The increase in amount of gizmo produced after repair :

0.16) × 25 = 4 gizmos per day

Prize per gizmo = 75 cent = $0.75

Repair cost = $174

The number of days it will take to recover the repair fee can be calculated thus :

(Increase on gizmo per day × cost per gizmo)× number of days = repair fee

(4 × 0.75)d= 174

3d = 174

d = 174 / 3

d = 58

Therefore, it will take 58 days to recover the repair fee.

What are the slopes of the perpendicular lines?

1: y=-5/2x-8
2: y=5x
3: y=3x-8

Answers

Answer:

1. 2/5

2. -1/5

3. -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the parpendicular slope is found by taking the original slope and finding the opposite reciprocal. so just flip the slope and make it the opposite sign

-5/2  --->    2/5

+5/1  --->    -1/5

+3/1  --->    -1/3

Answer:
1. 2/5
2. -1/5
3. -1/3

Explanation:
There are two key concepts that we have to understand in order to answer this question:

1) The given equations are organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b. Here’s what the variables mean:

Y= the y coordinate
M=the slope
X= the coordinate
B= the y intercept

From the given equations we can now identify the slopes as -5/2, 5 and 3.

2) Perpendicular lines have slopes that are NEGATIVE RECIPROCALS of each other.

Example: Line A has the slope 8. A line that is perpendicular to line A would have a slope of -1/8.

Example #2: Line B has the slope -2/3. A line that is perpendicular to line B would have a slope of 3/2 (two negatives make a positive).

Now that we understand these two concepts, we need to look at the slopes of the given lines and determine their negative reciprocals to find the slopes of their perpendicular lines.

1. y=-5/2x-8
We can see that -5/2 is in the place of “m” in y=mx+b. The negative reciprocal of -5/2 is 2/5, so therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=-5/2x-8 is 2/5.

2. y=5x
There is no “b” value in this equation, but we can still identify 5 as “m”. The negative reciprocal of 5 is -1/5, so therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=5c is -1/5.

3. y=3x-8
The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3, so therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to line y=3x-8 is -1/3.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.

You decide to purchase a bond for $500. It pays 5% simple interest per year and matures in 5 years. How much interest will you earn once the bond matures? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Do NOT round until you have calculated your final answer.

Answers

Answer:

$625

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with $500

The interest per year is 5% or 500 x 0.05 = $25

If it matures 5 years and each year has an increase of $25 then

Year 1 - $525

Year 2 - $550

Year 3 - $575

Year 4 - $600

Year 5 - $625

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We express the interest rate r in decimal form, so we have r=5%=5100=0.05. The principal is P=500 and the time in years is t=5. So, the interest is I=Prt=(500)(0.05)(5)=$125. The interest earned is $125.

A regional office of the Internal Revenue Service randomly distributes returns to be audited to the pool of auditors. Over the thousands of returns audited last year, the average amount of extra taxes collected was $356 per audited return. One of the auditors, Jeffrey Jones, is suspected of being too lenient with persons whose returns are being audited. For a simple random sample of 30 of the returns audited by Mr. Jones last year, an average of $340 in extra taxes was collected.

Required:
Assuming a normal population of extra taxes collected with a standard deviation of $90, do the suspicions against Mr. Jones appear to be justified?

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is

   Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

     There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the justification against Mr. Jones appears not  to be justified

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  [tex]\mu  =  \$ 356[/tex]

    The sample  size is n  =  30  

     The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$340[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma =  \$ 90[/tex]

    The  null hypothesis is [tex]H_o  :  \mu =  \$ 35 6[/tex]

     The alternative hypothesis is   [tex]H_a  :  \mu \ne  \$ 35 6[/tex]

Let assume the significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the test statistic is mathematically represented as

     [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t = \frac{ 340 - 356 }{\frac{90 }{\sqrt{30} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t =-0.9737 [/tex]

Generally the sample size from the question is  small that it is not greater than 30  hence we use t-test

Now the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

     [tex]df =  n- 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df =  30- 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df= 29[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p-value =  2 P (t >  -0.9737 )[/tex]

Generally from the t-distribution table , the probability of -0.9737 at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df= 29[/tex] for a two -tailed  test  is

     [tex]P (t >  -0.9737 ) =  0.33825793[/tex]

Hence p-value  is  

     [tex]p-value =  2*0.33825793[/tex]

      [tex]p-value =  0.676 [/tex]

From the value we obtained we see that  [tex]p-value  >  \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is

   Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

     There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the justification against Mr. Jones appears not  to be justified

an object is thrown upward at a speed of 74 feet per second by a machine from a height of 18 feet off the ground. The height h of the object after t seconds can be found using the equation h=-16t^2+74t+18​

Answers

Answer:

First part:

 

Set h(t) = 73 and solve for t.

 

-16t2 + 64t + 16 = 73

 

-16t2 + 64t - 57 = 0

 

Solve this quadratic equation for t.  You should get 2 positive solutions.  The lower value is the time to reach 73 on the way up, and the higher value is the time to reach 73 again, on the way down.

 

Second part:

 

Set h(t) = 0 and solve the resulting quadratic equation for t.  You should get a negative solution (which you can discard), and a positive solution.  The latter is your answer.
