A researcher wishes to examine the relationship between years of schooling completed and the number of pregnancies in young women. Her research discovers a linear relationship, and the least squares line is: ˆ y = 3 − 5 x y^=3-5x where x is the number of years of schooling completed and y is the number of pregnancies. The slope of the regression line can be interpreted in the following way:
1.) When amount of schooling increases by one year, the number of pregnancies decreases by 4.
2.) When amount of schooling increases by one year, the number of pregnancies increases by 4.
3.) When amount of schooling increases by one year, the number of pregnancies increases by 5.
4.) When amount of schooling increases by one year, the number of pregnancies decreases by 5.

Carol owns a BBQ company that sells brisket for $11.75 per pound (after it is smoked for 10 hours). She buys the brisket for an AP$ of $4.72 per pound and they weigh 10.4 lbs each. Once they are done smoking, they weigh 6.24 lbs each.




What is the yield % of the briskets after Carol is done smoking them?

Answers

Answer: 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, AP$ of Brisket = $4.72

Weight of each brisket on purchase : 10.4 lbs

Weight of each brisket after smoking : 6.24 lbs

Yield % of the briskets after Carol is done smoking them=[tex]\dfrac{\text{Weight after smoking}}{\text{Weight on purchase}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6.24}{10.4}\times100\\\\=60\%[/tex]

f(g(x)) = x^4 + 2x^3 - x

g(f(x)) =  x^4 + 2x^3 + 2x^2 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 - x ; g(x) = x^2 + x

f(g(x)) = (x^2 + x)^2 - (x^2 + x)

f(g(x)) = (x^2 + x)^2 - x^2 - x

f(g(x)) = (x^2 + x)(x^2 + x) - x^2 - x

f(g(x)) = x^4 + x^3 + x^3 + x^2 - x^2 - x

f(g(x)) = x^4 + 2x^3 - x

g(f(x)) = (x^2 - x)^2 + x^2 - x

g(f(x)) = (x^2 + x)(x^2 + x) + x^2 - x

g(f(x)) = x^4 + x^3 + x^3 + x^2 + x^2 - x

g(f(x)) =  x^4 + 2x^3 + 2x^2 - x

The number of bacteria in a certain culture grows exponentially at a rate of 1% per hour. Assuming that 5,000 bacteria are present initially, find the time required for the bacteria population to reach 45,000. (Round your answer to the nearest hour.)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  221 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is given by the exponential equation ...

  population = (initial value) × (1 +growth rate)^t

where the units of t are the same as the units of growth rate.

This lets us write ...

  p(t) = 5000×1.01^t

We want this to be 45000, so ...

  45000 = 5000×1.01^t

  9 = 1.01^t . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5000

  log(9) = t×log(1.01) . . . . take logs

  t = log(9)/log(1.01) ≈ 220.8

It will take about 221 hours for the population to reach 45000.

Mr Gomez wants to put a ceramic Tile border along for all four sides of his kitchen wall mr. Gomez has measured and knows he needs enough tiles to make three rows with 63 tiles in each row on each of his for how many tiles is mr. Goma's need to make the border tiles are sold in boxes with 14 tiles in each box how many boxes of tile does mr. Gomez need to buy show all your mathematical thinking please explain step by step

Answers

Answer:

14 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he needs 3 rows with 63 tiles per row.

Hence total number of tiles needed:

= 3 rows x 63 tiles per row

= 189 tiles

we are also given that tiles come in boxes of 14 tiles.

Hence the number of boxes of tiles needed,

= 189 tiles ÷ 14 tiles per box

= 13.5 boxes

but because he cannot just buy 0.5 of a box (i.e he needs to buy whole boxes), we must round this number up to the next whole box

hence

13.5 boxes rounded up to next whole box = 14 boxes.

You sell tickets at school for fundraisers. You sold car wash tickets, silly string fight tickets and dance tickets – for a total of 380 tickets sold. The car wash tickets were $5 each, the silly sting fight tickets were $3 each and the dance tickets were $10 each. If you sold twice as many silly string tickets as car wash tickets, and you have $1460 total. Write the matrix in the box below. Write the solution set for this system and include any necessary work.

Answers

Answer:

Matrix :

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&|&380\\ 5&3&10&|&1460\\ -2&1&0&|&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Solution Set : { x = 123, y = 246, z = 11 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x represents the number of car wash tickets, y represents the number of silly sting fight tickets, and z represents the number of dance tickets. We know that the total tickets = 380, so therefore,

x + y + z = 380,

And the car wash tickets were $5 each, the silly sting fight tickets were $3 each and the dance tickets were $10 each, the total cost being $1460.

5x + 3y + 10z = 1460

The silly string tickets were sold for twice as much as the car wash tickets.

y = 2x

Therefore, if we allign the co - efficients of the following system of equations, we get it's respective matrix.

System of Equations :

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}x+y+z=380\\ 5x+3y+10z=1460\\ y=2x\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Matrix :

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&|&380\\ 5&3&10&|&1460\\ -2&1&0&|&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Let's reduce this matrix to row - echelon form, receiving the number of car wash tickets, silly sting fight tickets, and dance tickets,

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 1&1&1&380\\ -2&1&0&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Swap Matrix Rows

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 0&\frac{2}{5}&-1&88\\ -2&1&0&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Cancel leading Co - efficient in second row

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 0&\frac{2}{5}&-1&88\\ 0&\frac{11}{5}&4&584\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Cancel leading Co - efficient in third row

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 0&\frac{11}{5}&4&584\\ 0&\frac{2}{5}&-1&88\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Swap second and third rows

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 0&\frac{11}{5}&4&584\\ 0&0&-\frac{19}{11}&-\frac{200}{11}\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Cancel leading co - efficient in row three

And we can continue, canceling the leading co - efficient in each row until this matrix remains,

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0&|&\frac{2340}{19}\\ 0&1&0&|&\frac{4680}{19}\\ 0&0&1&|&\frac{200}{19}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

x = 2340 / 19 = ( About ) 123 car wash tickets sold, y= 4680 / 19 =( About ) 246 silly string fight tickets sold, z = 200 / 19 = ( About ) 11 tickets sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x > 5 means all x values greater than 5

thus, the graph that best shows that x is greater than 5 is graph A.

Explanation: because x isn't being itself I mean by x isn't just 5 but greater than 5 (graph a)

graph b shows x being less than 5 which is wrong

graph c shows x being greater than 5 but being equal to 5 because of the bold circle

graph d shows everything wrong about x. first it's not suppose to be less than and second x isn't equal to 5

therefore the answer graph A.

ran this week? (Simplify your answer and state it as a mixed number.)
I​

Answers

Answer:

Total hours that Jenny ran = 3.63 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny ran on Tuesday for = 2/5 hours or 0.4 hours.

Time consumed to run on Thursday = 11/6 hours or 1.83 hours.

Time consumed to run on Saturday = 21/ 15 hours or 1.4 hours.

Here, the total hours can be calculated by just adding all the running hours. So the running hours of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will be added to find the total hours.

Total hours that Jenny ran = 0.4 + 1.83 + 1.4 = 3.63 hours.

Find the mean of the data summarized in the given frequency distribution. Compare the computed mean to the actual mean of 51.1 degrees. Low Temperature ​(◦​F) 40−44 45−49 50−54 55−59 60−64 Frequency 3 6 13 7

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Mean = 53.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Low Temperature : 40−44 || 45−49 ||  50−54 || 55−59 || 60−64

Frequency: --------------- 3 -----------6----------- 1-----------3--- -----7

Required

Determine the mean

The first step is to determine the midpoints of the given temperatures

40 - 44:

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{40+44}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{84}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = 42[/tex]

45 - 49

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{45+49}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{94}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = 47[/tex]

50 - 54:

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{50+54}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{104}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = 52[/tex]

55- 59

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{55+59}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{114}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = 57[/tex]

60 - 64:

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{60+64}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = \frac{124}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Midpoint = 62[/tex]

So, the new frequency table is as thus:

Low Temperature : 42 || 47 ||  52 || 57 || 62

Frequency: ----------- 3 --||- -6-||- 1-||- --3- ||--7

Next, is to calculate mean by

[tex]Mean = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum x}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{42 * 3 + 47 * 6 + 52 * 1 + 57 * 3 + 62 * 7}{3+6+1+3+7}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{1065}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 53.25[/tex]

12cents = 0.12$

0.12$*0.6=0.72$

0.72$ * 30days = 21.6$/month

The amount of the electricity cost for 30 days will be 2.16 dollars per month.

What is Algebra?

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

Lee watches TV for 4 hours per day.

During that time, the TV consumes 150 watts per hour.

The amount of electricity used in a day will be

⇒ 4 × 150

⇒ 600 watts per day

⇒ 0.60 kilowatts per day

Electricity costs (12 cents)/(1 kilowatt-hour). Then the amount of electricity cost in a day will be

⇒ 0.60 × 12 cents

⇒ 0.60 × 0.12 dollars

⇒ 0.072 dollars per day

Then the amount of the electricity cost for 30 days will be

⇒ 0.072 × 30

⇒ 2.16 dollars per month

The amount of the electricity cost for 30 days will be 2.16 dollars per month.

Answers

Weight of man and paint = 160 + 5 = 165 total pounds.

Gravitational force is independent of the path taken so we can ignore the radius of the silo.

Work done = total weight x height

Work = 165 lbs x 90 ft = 14,850 ft-lbs
