PLEASE HELP ME!!! The students in Suzanne's school are painting a rectangular mural outside the building that will be 15 feet by 45 feet. To prepare they are create a scale drawing that represents 20% of the given dimensions. What is the length and width of the scale drawing?

Answers

Answer:

length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual dimension  15 feet by 45 feet.

length = 45 feet

width = 15 feet

Dimension on drawing is 20% of actual dimension.

20% = 20/100

Thus,

20% of 15 feet = 20/100 * 15 feet = 3 feet

20% of 45 feet = 20/100 * 45 feet = 9 feet

Thus, length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet

Halla x si:

a) 4√5 b) √5 c) 4√3 d) 4 e) 4√2

Answers

Answer:

Option A. 4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the value of x, we must first obtain the value of y as shown in the attached photo.

The value of y can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

In this case y is the longest side i.e the Hypothenus.

y² = 4² + [4√3]²

y² = 4² + [4² × (√3)²]

y² = 4² + [4² × 3]

y² = 16 + [16 × 3]

y² = 16 + 48

y² = 64

Take the square root of both side

y = √64

y = 8

Finally, we shall determine the value of x by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below.

Note: x is the longest side i.e the Hypothenus in this case.

x² = 4² + 8²

x² = 16 + 64

x² = 80

Take the square root of both side

x = √80

x = √(16 × 5)

x = √16 × √5

x = 4√5

Therefore, the value of x is 4√5.

A certain dataset of systolic blood pressure measurements has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 3. Assuming the distribution is bell-shaped and we randomly select a measurement:
a) What percentage of measurements are between 71 and 89?
b) What is the probability a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89?
c) What is the probability a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75?
d) We should expect 15% of patients have a blood pressure below what measurement?
e) Would it be unusual for 3 patients to have a mean blood pressure measurement of more than 84? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = systolic blood pressure measurements.

It is provided that, [tex]X\sim N(\mu=80,\sigma^{2}=3^{2})[/tex].

(a)

Compute the percentage of measurements that are between 71 and 89 as follows:

[tex]P(71<X<89)=P(\frac{71-80}{3}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{89-80}{3})[/tex]

                        [tex]=P(-3<Z<3)\\=P(Z<3)-P(Z<-3)\\=0.99865-0.00135\\=0.9973[/tex]

The percentage is, 0.9973 × 100 = 99.73%.

Thus, the percentage of measurements that are between 71 and 89 is 99.73%.

(b)

Compute the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89 as follows:

[tex]P(X>89)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{89-80}{3})[/tex]

                [tex]=P(Z>3)\\=1-P(Z<3)\\=1-0.99865\\=0.00135\\\approx 0.0014[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89 is 0.0014.

(c)

Compute the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75 as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

[tex]P(X\leq 75)=P(X<75-0.5)[/tex]

                [tex]=P(X<74.5)\\\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{74.5-80}{3})\\\\=P(Z<-1.83)\\\\=0.03362\\\\\approx 0.034[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75 is 0.034.

(d)

Let x be the blood pressure required.

Then,

P (X < x) = 0.15

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.15

z = -1.04

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-1.04=\frac{x-80}{3}\\\\x=80-(1.04\times3)\\\\x=76.88\\\\x\approx 76.9[/tex]

Thus, the 15% of patients are expected to have a blood pressure below 76.9.

(e)

A z-score more than 2 or less than -2 are considered as unusual.

Compute the z score for [tex]\bar x[/tex] as follows:

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

  [tex]=\frac{84-80}{3/\sqrt{3}}\\\\=2.31[/tex]

The z-score for the mean blood pressure measurement of 3 patients is more than 2.

Thus, it would be unusual.

Bank B spending= $22.5

Bank A is cheaper with $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Bank A charges $20 monthly fee for a checking account and debit card, with unlimited transactions.

Sheade 35 transactions.

Total charges from bank A

= $20 monthly

Bank B charged a $5 monthly fee for a checking account and debit card, plus

$ 0.50 for each transaction.

How many 2cm×2cm cubes can be packed in a box 1m long,20cm wide and 4cm deep.​

Answers

Answer:

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess, something went wrong with the text up there.

I assume it should say 2cm×2cm×2cm cubes. right ? because a cube has 3 dimensions, not just 2.

otherwise an infinitely large number of "just squares" would fit into the box ...

so, the box is

1m×20cm×4cm = 100cm×20cm×4cm = 8000 cm³

a single cube would be

2cm×2cm×2cm = 8 cm³

therefore,

8000 / 8 = 1000 cubes can be packed into that box, since the dimensions of the box in relation to the dimensions of the cubes do not force to have some empty left over space. the box can be packed tightly.

Answers

Answer:

2.8 < x < 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle with two known sides, 4.1 and 1.3, the range of possible values of the third side, x, can be ascertained by considering the triangle inequality theorem.

According to the theorem, when you add any two of the angles in a triangle, it should give you a value greater than the third side.

If a, b, and c are 3 sides of a triangle, the theorem implies that:

a + b > c.

Therefore, a - b < c < a + b

We can use this logic to find the possibly values of x in the given triangle above.

Thus,

4.1 - 1.3 < x < 4.1 + 1.3

2.8 < x < 5.4

Range of possible sizes of x is 2.8 < x < 5.4

An 8×8×8 cm cube was painted red, and then broken up into small cubes with side lengths of 1 cm. How many small cubes have none of their faces painted red?

Answers

Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

If you just paint the surface of the cube, then the inside of the cube would not have any of their faces painted red.

Just looking at the cube from a side view, you would realize that there would be a smaller cube, 6 x 6 x 6 (not 7 since you have to account for both the top side and the bottom side), and so that is the answer, 6 ^ 3, which is 216.

Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

8 * 8 * 8 = 512

8 * 8 = 64

Each face is 64 cubes, overlapping at the edges, with 6 faces total.

16 + 12 = 28 for each overlapping cube on each side

64 * 6 = 384

384 - 2(28) = 328

Top & Bottom dealt with, overlap from them is 56 units total, 14 units on top and bottom of each face..

64 - 14 = 50

50 * 2 = 100

Front & Back dealt with.

328 - 100 = 228

64 - 28 = 36

36 * 2 = 72

228 - 72 = 156

...

Answers

5

Answer:

1050

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural Numbers are positive whole numbers. They aren't negative, decimals, fractions. We can just divide 5 into 100 to find how many natural numbers go up to 100 and just add them but that is just to much.

There is a easier method.

E.g: Natural Numbers that are divisible by a Nth Number. is the same as adding the Nth Numbers to a multiple of that Nth Term. For example, let say we need to find numbers divisible by 2. We know that 4 is divisible by 2 because 4/2=2. We can add the Nth numbers which is 2 to 4. 4+2=6. And 6 is divisible by 2 because 6/2=3. We can call this a arithmetic series. A series which has a pattern of adding a common difference

Back to the problem, we can use the sum of arithmetic series formula,

[tex]y = x( \frac{z {}^{1} + {z}^{n} }{2} )[/tex]

Where x is the number of terms in our sequence. Z1 is the fist term of our series. ZN is our last term. And y is the sum of all of the terms

The first term is 5, the numbers of terms being added is 20 because 100/5=20. The last term is 100.

[tex]y = 20( \frac{5 + 100}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]y = 20( \frac{105}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]y = 1050[/tex]

Suppose a 99% confidence interval for the mean salary of college graduates in a town in Mississippi is given by [$34,393, $47,207]. The population standard deviation used for the analysis is known to be $14,900.

Required:
a. What is the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town?
b. Determine the sample size used for the analysis.

Answers

Answer: a. $40,800 b. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a 99% confidence interval for the mean salary of college graduates in a town in Mississippi is given by [$34,393, $47,207].

[tex]\sigma= \$14,900[/tex]

a. Since Point estimate of of the mean = Average of upper limit and lower limit of the interval.

Therefore , the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town = [tex]\dfrac{34393+47207}{2}=\dfrac{81600}{2}[/tex]

= 40,800

hence, the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town = $40,800

b.  Since  lower limit = Point estimate - margin of error, where Margin of error is the half of the difference between upper limit and lower limit.

Margin of error[tex]=\dfrac{47207-34393}{2}=6407[/tex]

Also, margin of error = [tex]z\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], where z= critical z-value for confidence level and n is the sample size.

z-value for 99% confidence level  = 2.576

So,

[tex]6407=2.576\times\dfrac{14900}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{n}=2.576\times\dfrac{14900}{6407}=5.99\\\\\Rightarrow\ n=(5.99)^2=35.8801\approx 36[/tex]

The stock sells for br. 32.50 per share and its required rate of return is 10.5%. The dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate forever. What is the growth rate A Three-Point Turn Chapter 1 "You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down. "Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk." Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference. "Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead. "I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before rememberthe last time I flunked." Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety. "Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought. "Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate." "Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot." Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time. "You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?" "I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing." Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse. Chapter 2 Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade. Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed. "Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked. "I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan. "Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked. "Yes, but..." she started. "And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?" "Yes," she said quietly. "So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?" "I suppose not," she said. Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm. "Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt." "So let's go do this, okay? "Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.
