You know that the average college student eats 0.75 pounds of food at lunch. If the standard deviation is 0.2 pounds of food, then what is the total amount of food that a cafeteria should have on hand to be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food when feeding 50 college students?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $53.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]\mu=0.75[/tex] pounds

[tex]\sigma= 0.2[/tex] pounds

n= 50

Two tailed critical z-value for 90% confidence level = 1.645

Let x be the total amount of food that a cafeteria should have on hand to be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food .

z-score = [tex]\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]=\dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}[/tex]

Then, [tex]\dfrac{x-0.75}{0.2}=1.645[/tex]

[tex]x-0.75=1.645\times0.2\\\\\Riightarrow\ x-0.75=0.329\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 0.329+0.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 1.079[/tex]

Foe 50 students, total amount of food = 1.079 x 50 = $53.95

hence, the cafeteria should have food of amount $53.95 so that it is be 90 percent confident that it will not run out of food.

Answer:

Jordans' age = 31 ; Anna's age = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations relating their ages

J + A = 50 → (1)

J = 12 + A → (2)

Substitute J = 12 + A into (1)

12 + A + A = 50

12 + 2A = 50 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

2A = 38 ( divide both sides by 2 )

A = 19

Substitute A = 19 into (2)

J = 12 + 19 = 31

Then Jordans' age = 31 ; Anna's age = 19

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

J = 12 + A equation 1

J + A = 50 equation 2

Solving equation 2

J + A = 50

A = 50 - J equation 3

Putting value of A in equation 1

J = 12 + A

J = 12 + 50 - J

Bringing like terms on one side

J + J = 12 + 50

2J = 62

J = 62/2 = 31

Putting value of J in equation 3

A = 50 - J

A = 50 - 31 = 19

Checking answer by putting values in equation 2

J + A = 50

31 + 19 = 50

50 = 50

So the age of Jordan is 31 and Anna is 19

An apartment complex has several 9-story buildings, and every apartment in the complex has a unique number. On the first floor of one of the buildings, you see four apartments numbered 109, 110, 111, and 112. In which building and on which floor is apartment 207?

Answers

Answer:

Apartment 207 is a second floor apartment in Building 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one building has four first floor apartments, then I'd think all buildings have 4 apartments per floor. Since one building has first floor apartment numbers 109, 110, 111, and 112, then I'd think there is a building with first floor apartment numbers 101, 102, 103, and 104, and another building with first floor apartment numbers 105, 106, 107, 108.

Building 1 First floor: 101, 102, 103, 104

Building 2 First floor: 105, 106, 107, 108

Building 3 First floor: 109, 110, 111, 112

Building 2 Second floor: 205, 206, 207, 208

Apartment 207 is a second floor apartment in Building 2.

Is 2.73234(34 repeating) rational or irrational?

Answers

It's rational because of the repeating digits.

We have

x = 2.732343434…

Then

1,000x = 2,732.343434…

and

100,000x = 273,234.343434…

Subtracting these makes the fractional part go away, leaving you with

100,000x - 1,000x = 273,234.343434… - 2,732.343434…

100,000x - 1,000x = 273,234 - 2,732

99,000x = 270,502

x = 270,502/99,000 = 135,251/49,500

which is clearly a rational number.

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the length of the pieces to be as great as possible, the number of pieces must be as small as possible. Jason can't keep the rope in one piece, that doesn't count as cutting the rope into pieces because he hasn't cut the rope. If there were 2 equal pieces, each piece would be 60 / 2 = 30 feet, and since 30 is an integer, the answer is 2.

The last graph is the only one that has that.

Gavin combines Thirty-two and two-fifths ounces of water and 7.15 ounces of lemon juice in a pitcher to make lemonade. Which is the most reasonable estimate for the amount of liquid in the pitcher? 39 ounces 42 ounces 45 ounces 47 ounces

Answers

Answer:

OPTION A is correct

39 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The amount of water in the pitcher= 32 ounces

The amount of lemon juice in the pitcher = 7.15 ounces

We were to calculate the most reasonable estimate for the amount of liquid in the pitcher

To do this we need to sum up the Amount of water and Amount of lemon juice in the pitcher because the water is a liquid as well as the lemon juice which is

32 ounces + 7.15 ounces

=39.15 ounces

Therefore, the Estimated amount of liquid in the pitcher is approximately 39 ounces

Find the angle between the Crocodile River and the road. Show your work, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree. Need help ASAP.

Answers

Answer:

63.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the right triangle with vertices (0, 4), (6, 4), and (6, 7).

We are looking for the measure of the interior angle of the triangle at vertex (6, 7).

Call that angle, <A.

tan A = opp/adj

tan A = 6/3

A = 63.4°

The angle between the Serengeti Stream and the x-axis at the point (6, 7) is approximately 63.4°.

What is the right triangle?

A right triangle is defined as a triangle in which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.

The equation of the straight line that goes through the points (0, 4) and (6, 7),

First, let's calculate the slope:

m = (7 - 4) / (6 - 0) = 3/6 = 1/2

Now we can use the point-slope formula with the point (0, 4) and slope m = 1/2:

(y - 4) = (1/2)(x - 0)

y = (1/2)x + 4

Next, we need to find where this line intersects the Crocodile River, which is represented by the x-axis.

Setting y = 0 in the equation above, we get:

0 = (1/2)x + 4

x = -8

So, the Serengeti Stream flows into the Crocodile River at the point (-8, 0).

The slope of the Serengeti Stream at (6, 7) is:

m = (7 - 4) / (6 - 0) = 1/2

The slope of the line perpendicular to the Serengeti Stream at (6, 7) is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the Serengeti Stream:

m_perpendicular = -1/m = -1/(1/2) = -2

So the equation of the line perpendicular to the Serengeti Stream at (6, 7) is:

(y - 7) = (-2)(x - 6)

y = -2x + 19

The arctangent of the slope:

angle = arctan(-2)

angle ≈ -63.4° (CCW)

Therefore, the angle between the Serengeti Stream and the x-axis at the point (6, 7) is approximately 63.4°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a data set as:

4, 2, 2, 0, 1, 6, 3, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4, 0, 1

On arranging this data set in the frequency table we get:

Number of times they went for dinner    Number of families  

          0                                                          2

          2                                                          4

          3                                                           1

          4                                                           2

          5                                                           1

          6                                                            1

Hence, the range of the number line is between 0 to 6.

Also there are 4 dots above 2.

   Hence,  Four families said they ate out twice the previous week.

Also there is one dot above 5.

       Hence,  One family said they ate out 5 times the previous week.

The data set is not symmetrical since the median is 2 and the data points to the left and to the right do not have symmetry.

Hence, the data set is not symmetrical.

Also we know that the median of the data is the central tendency of the data and always best represents the data.

Hence, The median best represents the data set.
