Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

42 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has 4 equal sides. To find the perimeter, add all side lengths together.

1. Set up the equation and solve

10.5 + 10.5 + 10.5 + 10.5 = 42

Answer 2
The answer is 42 because you add 10.5+10.5 +10.5+10.5=42 or do 10.5x4=42

Find the area (in square feet) of a rectangle that measures 17" × 3'10".

Answers

Answer:

65 feet and 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the area of a rectangle you need to multiply length times width in this case 17" times 3'10". But first you must convert everything into the same form(in this case feet) so first you can convert everything to inches by multiplying 3 times 12  which gives you 36 then add the 10, so it is now 46 inches then multiply that by 17 and altogether it is 782 inches, then divide by 12 (to convert it back to feet) and the answer is 65.1666666667. After you can round and get 65 feet and 2 inches.

work out the value of y when x = 4 30 points

Answers

Answer:

y = 54/25 when x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

y is given by the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle y = p\times q^{x-1}[/tex]

Where p and q are numbers.

We are also given that when x = 1, y = 10 and when x = 6, y = 0.7776.

And we want to determine the value of y when x = 4.

Since y = 10 when x = 1:

[tex]\displaystyle (10) = p\times q^{(1)-1}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]10 = p \times q^0[/tex]

Any number (except for zero) to the zeroth power is one. Hence:

[tex]p=10[/tex]

Thus, our equation is now:

[tex]y = 10\times q^{x-1}[/tex]

When x = 6, y = 0.7776. Thus:

[tex](0.7776) = 10\times q^{(6)-1}[/tex]

Simplify and divide both sides by ten:

[tex]\displaystyle 0.07776 = q^5[/tex]

Take the fifth root of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle q = \sqrt[5]{0.07776}[/tex]

Use a calculator. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle q = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6[/tex]

Our completed equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle y = 10\times \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{x-1}[/tex]

Then when x = 4, y equals:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} y &= 10\times \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{(4)-1} \\ \\ &= 10\times \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^3 \\ \\ &= 10\times \left(\frac{27}{125}\right) \\ \\ &= \frac{54}{25}\end{aligned}[/tex]

A publishing company claims that in fall 2019, the average price of college textbooks for a single semester is $385. Suppose you decide to collect data from a random sample of students to assess whether the publisher's claim is reasonable, and you find that in a random sample of 22 college students, the mean price of textbooks for the fall 2019 semester was $433.50 with a standard deviation of $86.92. At the 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of college textbooks for a single semester is different from the value claimed by the publisher?

Answers

Answer:

We accept H₀ . We don´t have enough evidence to express the publisher claim is not true

Step by Step explanation:

We must evaluate if the mean of the price of college textbooks is different from the value claimed by the publisher

n < 30 then we must use t - distrbution

degree of freedom   n  - 1     df = 22 - 1     df = 21

As the question mentions " different " that means,  a two-tail test

At 0,01 significance level     α  = 0,01       α/2  =  0,005

and t(c)  = 2,831

Test Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                      H₀          μ  =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis           Hₐ          μ  ≠  μ₀

To calculate t(s)

t(s)  =  (  μ  -  μ₀ ) /σ/√n

t(s)  =  (  433,50 - 385 ) / 86,92 / √22

t(s)  =  2,6171

Comparing   t(c)   and t(s)

t(s) < t(c)

Then  t(s) is in the acceptance region we accept H₀. We don´t have enough evidence to claim that mean price differs from publisher claim

Sam have worked these hours during the week: 4.5, 8.75, 9.5, 10, and 4.25 hours. How many hours did Sam work?

Answers

Answer:

37 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5 + 8.75 + 9.5 + 10 + 4.25 = 37 hours

Answer:

37 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5 hours = 4 hrs and 30 mins

8.75 hrs = 8 hrs and 45 mins

9.5 hrs = 9 hrs and 30 mins

10 hrs = 10 hrs and 0 min

4.25 hrs = 4 hrs and 15 mins

(30 + 45 + 30 + 15) mins = 2 hrs

Therefore, total hours Sam worked = (4 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 4 + 2) hrs = 37 hours

Find the greatest common factor of 65a3b4 and 39a4b5.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation: Let's begin by finding the

greatest common factor for the numbers 65 and 39.

I would make a factor tree and break up 65 and 39.

So 65 is 13 x 5 and 39 is 13 x 3.

Since the 13's match up, the greatest

common factor between 65 and 39 is 13.

For the variables, we use the smallest power on each of them.

So we use a^3 and b^4 to get 13a^3b^4 as our GCF.

A population is estimated to have a standard deviation of 9. We want to estimate the population mean within 2, with a 99% level of confidence. How large a sample is required? (Round up your answer to the next whole number.)

Answers

Answer:

The sample required is  [tex]n = 135[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 9[/tex]

      The margin of error is [tex]E = 2[/tex]

     

Given that the confidence level is  99%  then the level of  significance is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]\alpha = 100-99[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 1 \%[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

Next we will obtain the critical value  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table(reference  math dot armstrong dot edu) , the value is  

             [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

The  sample size is mathematically represented as

          [tex]n = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ]^2[/tex]

substituting values

1) No of soldiers=60

No of days=20

2) No of days=100

No of soldiers=?

No of soldiers to leave=?

Solution:

Let us use the cross multiplication method.

Let x be the no of soldiers.

x=600/20

x=30 soldiers

Therefore, No of soldiers to leave =60-30=30 soldiers

John receives a perpetuity paying 2 at the end of year 4, 4 at the end of year 6, 6 at the end of year 8, etc. The present value of this perpetuity at an annual effective rate of 10% equals X. Calculate X

Answers

Answer:

45.35

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are told that the annual effective rate = 10% = 0.10

Note also that payment is been made every 2 years

Hence , we apply the formula of effective interest rate for a period of 2 years.

Effective Interest rate(j) = (1 + r)² - 1

= (1 + 0.10)² - 1

= 1.10² - 1

= 1.21

= 0.21

Present value of perpetuality = t/[j × j/(1 + r)²]

Where t = time in years = 2

r = 0.10

= 2/ [0.21 × 0.21/(1 + 0.10)²

= 54.87528

Present value at time t = 0

= 54.87528(1 + r)^-2

= 54.87528(1 + 0.10) ^-2

= 54.87528(1.10)^-2

= 45.35

Therefore, the present value at time (t) is 0 = 45.35

The value (in dollars) of an airplane depends on the flight hours as given by the formula V= 1,800,000 - 250x . After one year, the value of the plane is between $1,200,000 and $1,300,000. Which range for the flight hours does this correspond to?

a. 1800 <= x <= 2100
b. 2200<= x <= 2500
c. 1500<= x <= 1800
d. 2000<= x <= 2400

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the range we must solve this inequality;

● 1200000<1800000-250x<1300000

Substract 1800000 from both sides.

● 1200000-1800000<1800000-250x<1300000-1800000

● -600000< -250x < -500000

Divide both sides by 250

● -600000/250 < -250x/250 < -500000/250

● -2400 < -x < -2000

Multiply both sides by -1 and switch the signs

● 2000 < x < 2400

The correct option is D. 2000<= x <= 2400

Given, the value of an airplane depends on the flight hours,

[tex]V= 1800000-250x[/tex], here x is the flight hours.

We have to calculate the range of x After one year.

Since, [tex]V= 1800000-250x[/tex]

[tex]250x=1800000-V\\\\x=\dfrac{1800000-V}{250}[/tex]

Since the value of the plane is between $1,200,000 and $1,300,000. So,

[tex]x=\dfrac{1800000-1200000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{600000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=2400\\[/tex]

When V is 1300000 then x will be,

[tex]x=\dfrac{1800000-1300000}{250} \\[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{500000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=2000[/tex]

Hence the range of x will be from 2000 to 2400.

The correct option is D. 2000<= x <= 2400.

BOND VALUATION Asiana Fashion's bonds have 10 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually; they have a $1,000 par value; the coupon interest rate is 8% and thebyield to maturity is 9%.What is the bond's current market price?​

Answers

Answer:

$935.76

Step-by-step explanation:

BOND VALUATION Asiana Fashion's bonds have 10 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually; they have a $1,000 par value; the coupon interest rate is 8% and thebyield to maturity is 9%.What is the bond's current market price?​

Step 1

We find the Present value factor of sum

The formula =

(1 + i)^n

Where

i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09

n = number of years = 10 years

Present Value = ( 1 + 0.09)^-10

= 0.4224

Step 2

We find the present value factor of annuity

The formula is given as:

1 - (1+i)^-n / i

i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09

n = number of years = 10 years

= 1 - (1 + 0.09)^-10 /0.09

= 1 - 0.4224 /0.09

= 0.5775 /0.09

= 6.417

Step 3

The bond's current market price is calculated as:

= PV factor of Sum × Par Value + PV factor of annuity × coupon payment

Coupon payment is calculated as:

= Coupon interest × par value

= 8% × 1000

= 80

Hence,

= 0.4224 × 1,000 + 6.417 × 80

= 422.4 + 513.36

= 935.76

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of finance to calculate the corrective value of the market place, in this way we find that:

[tex]\$935.76[/tex]

We find the Present value factor of sum, by the formula of:

[tex](1 + i)^n[/tex]

Where:

i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09 n = number of years = 10 years

Substituting the values ​​in the formula as;

[tex]Present \ Value = ( 1 + 0.09)^{-10} = 0.4224[/tex]

We find the present value factor of annuity, by the formula as:

[tex]1 - (1+i)^{-n} / i[/tex]

Where:

i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09 n = number of years = 10 years

Substituting the values ​​in the formula as;

[tex]= 1 - (1 + 0.09)^{-10} /0.09\\= 1 - 0.4224 /0.09\\= 0.5775 /0.09\\= 6.417[/tex]

The bond's current market price is calculated as:

[tex]= PV \ factor\ of\ Sum * Par\ Value + PV\ factor\ of\ annuity * coupon\ payment[/tex]

Coupon payment is calculated as:

[tex]= Coupon\ interest * par\ value\\= 8\% * 1000= 80[/tex]

So continue the calcule;

[tex]= 0.4224 *1,000 + 6.417 * 80\\= 422.4 + 513.36\\= 935.76[/tex]
