A candy box is to be made out of a piece of cardboard that measures 8 by 12 inches. Squares of equal size will be cut out of each corner, and then the ends and sides will be folded up to form a rectangular box. What size square should be cut from each corner to obtain a maximum volume

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the size of the square to be cut out for maximum volume is 1.5695 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

cardboard that measures 8 by 12 inches.

We need to determine What size square should be cut from each corner

We were given given the size of the cardboard.

let us denote the length of the square as 'x'.

Then our length, width and height will be:

Length = 8 − 2x

Width = 12− 2x

Then our Height = x

So now, the volume= length×width ×height

Volume = (8 − 2x) x (12− 2x) x (x)

After calculating volume comes out to be:

V = (96 − 40x + 4x²) (x)

V = 4x³ − 40x² + 96x

Now, we can use differentiation to equate it to zero.

So differentiate it with respect to x, we get

dV/dx = 12x² − 80x + 96

12x² − 80x + 96 = 0

So, after solving this, x comes out to be:

x = 5.097 and x = 1.5695

Looking at it the size of the square cut out cannot be 5.097 because we cannot cut out of both sides of the width, since the width is 5 inches.

Therefore, the size of the square to be cut out for maximum volume is 1.5695 inches.

About 10% of the human population is left-handed. Suppose a researcher speculates that artists are more likely to be left-handed than other people in the general population. The researcher surveys 200 artists and finds that 26 of them are left-handed.Required:a. Define the parameter of interest and give the null value.b. State the researcher's null and alternative hypotheses.c. What proportion of the sample of artists is left-handed?d. To calculate a p-value for the hypothesis test, what probability should the researcher calculate? Make your answer specific to this situation.

Answers

Answer:

Given the information in the question;

a) The parameter of interest is the population of artists who are left-handed and its is 10% = (10/1000 = 0.10

b) The Null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are;

H₀ : p = 0.10

H₁ : p > 0.10

c) The sample proportion is calculated as:

p = number of left handed artist / sample size

p = 26 / 200

p = 0.13

d) To find the p-value, The researcher should calculate the probability that the sample proportion would be 0.13 or larger for a sample of size 200 if the population proportion is actually 0.10.

Grandma baked 969696 cookies and gave them to her grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Cindy, received ccc fewer cookies than she would have received had all of the cookies been evenly divided among the 888 grandchildren.

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

96/8 - c

Step-by-step explanation:

96/8 = 12

The average amount of cookies each grandchild would get is 12. However, Cindy gets c less than the average amount. So, it would be 12 - c.

But, it's asking for the original expression. Therefore, the answer would be 96/8 - c.

C. The F-test cannot be used to answer whether or not there is a significant difference between the means.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis to determine whether the vending machines are properly dispensing 12 ounces of coffee is:

H₀: [tex]\mu_{A}=\mu_{B}=\mu_{C}[/tex]

Hₐ: Not all means are equal.

The ANOVA output is as follows:

The significance level is α = 0.05.

The p-value of the model is:

p-value = 0.000

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

p-value = 0.000 < α = 0.05

The null hypothesis will be rejected.

Conclusion:

There is a significant difference between the means.

Thus, the correct option is B.

Tierra's THR zone is 135-185 bpm (beats per minute). What might Tierra's heart rate be to
indicate that she was working too hard?
A. 145 bpm
B. 195 bpm
C. 175 bpm
D. 130 bpm​

Answers

The correct answer is B. 195 bpm

Explanation:

In health and related areas, THR or Target Heart Rate zone refers to the range of heart rate an individual should have including the maximum heart rate. In the case of Tierra, her THR zone indicates her maximum heart rate should be 185 beats per minute.

In this context, a heart rate above this number shows Tierra is working too hard or that his heart is doing too much effort, which is dangerous for her health. Thus, the heart rate that shows she is doing too hard is 195 bmp as this is the only one that is above the ideal rate.

3y = 24

Dividing both sides by 3

y = 8

Answer:

y =8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 3y = 12

Let x = 3

-4(3) +3y = 12

-12+3y = 12

The domain and range for function g are D(−infinity symbol, infinity symbol) and R(−infinity symbol, infinity symbol). Describe the following statement:

the limit as x approaches 3 of the function g of x equals 4

Select one:
a. The value of g at 3 is 4.
b. The value of g at 4 is 3.
c. As x gets closer to 4, the value of g gets closer to 3.
d. As x gets closer to 3, the value of g gets closer to 4.

Answers

The answer is d: As x gets closer to 3, the value of g gets closer to 4.

The limit of a function h of x as  x approaches the value a, written as [tex]\lim_{x \to a} h(x) = L[/tex] is the value the function h(x) approaches as x tends to the value "a", written as x → a. In this case, L.

Given the domain and range for function g are D(−∞, ∞) and R(−∞, ∞) and that the limit as x approaches 3 of the function g of x equals 4.

This implies that as x gets closer and closer to 3, the value of g gets closer and closer to 4.

Since the value g gets closer to is 3 as x gets closer to 4, we can write that the limit as x approaches 3 of the function g of x equals 4.

we can write this as

[tex]\lim_{x \to 3} g(x) = 4[/tex]

So, as x gets closer to 3, the value of g gets closer to 4.

So, the answer is d: As x gets closer to 3, the value of g gets closer to 4.

y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of any function you basically switch x and y.

function = y = x^3 + 5

Now we switch x and y

x = y^3 +5

Solve for y,

x - 5 = y^3

switch sides,

y^3 = x-5

y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{{f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{x-5}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given,

[tex]f(x)=x^3 +5[/tex]

The inverse of a function reverses the original function.

Replace f(x) with y.

[tex]y=x^3 +5[/tex]

Switch variables.

[tex]x=y^3 +5[/tex]

Solve for y to find the inverse.

Subtract 5 from both sides.

[tex]x-5=y^3[/tex]

Take the cube root of both sides.

Answers

The maximum no of fruits that could be put in each box is 48

For determining the maximum no of fruits, we have to find out the highest common factor i.e. HCf between two numbers i.e. 240 and 288

So,

For 240 = [tex]2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5[/tex]

And, for 288, it is = [tex]2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times3 \times 3[/tex]

So, the highest common factor between two numbers is

= [tex]2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

0.033316

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the z score formula to solve for this question.

Since we are given the number of samples in the question, our z score formula is given as:

z = (x-μ)/ S.E

where x is the raw score

μ is the sample mean

S.E is the Standard error.

x is the raw score = 900

μ is the sample mean = Population mean = 947

Standard error =

This is calculated as Population standard deviation/ √No of samples

= 205/√64.

= 205/8

= 25.625

We proceed to calculate the z score

z = (x-μ)/ S.E

z = 900 - 947/25.625

= -1.83415

Using the z score table for normal distribution,

P(x≤ z) = P(z ≤ -1.83) = P(x ≤ 900)

P(x<900) = 0.033316

Therefore, the probability the mean of the sample is below 900 is 0.033316

Why do you believe that statistics show this change? Mathys Inc. has recently hired a new independent auditor, Karen Ogleby, who says she wants "to get everything straightened out." Consequently, she has proposed the following accounting changes in connection with Mathys Inc.'s 2017 financial statements.1. At December 31, 2016, the client had a receivable of $820,000 from Hendricks Inc. on its balance sheet. Hendricks Inc. has gone bankrupt, and no recovery is expected. The client proposes to write off the receivable as a prior period item.2. The client proposes the following changes in depreciation policies.(a) For office furniture and fixtures, it proposes to change from a 10-year useful life to an 8-year life. If this change had been made in prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $250,000 less. The effect of the change on 2017 income alone is a reduction of $60,000.(b) For its new equipment in the leasing division, the client proposes to adopt the sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation method. The client had never used SYD before. The first year the client operated a leasing division was 2017. If straight-line depreciation were used, 2017 income would be $110,000 greater.3.In preparing its 2016 statements, one of the client's bookkeepers overstated ending inventory by $235,000 because of a mathematical error. The client proposes to treat this item as a prior period adjustment.4. In the past, the client has spread preproduction costs in its furniture division over 5 years. Because its latest furniture is of the "fad" type, it appears that the largest volume of sales will occur during the first 2 years after introduction. Consequently, the client proposes to amortize preproduction costs on a per-unit basis, which will result in expensing most of such costs during the first 2 years after the furniture's introduction. If the new accounting method had been used prior to 2017, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $375,000 less.5. For the nursery division, the client proposes to switch from FIFO to LIFO inventories because it believes that LIFO will provide a better matching of current costs with revenues. The effect of making this change on 2017 earnings will be an increase of $320,000. The client says that the effect of the change on December 31, 2016, retained earnings cannot be determined.6. To achieve an appropriate recognition of revenues and expenses in its building construction division, the client proposes to switch from the completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method. Had the percentage-of-completion method been employed in all prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $1,075,000 greater.Instructions(a) For each of the changes described above, decide whether:(1) The change involves an accounting principle, accounting estimate, or correction of an error.(2) Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.(b) What would be the proper adjustment to the December 31, 2016, retained earnings?
