Answer:
The farmer should expect to LOSE 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=-x^2 + 20x + 100
just find how many soybeans his land will yield (per acre) after 10 and 20 years:
After 10: 200 pounds of soybeans/acre
After 20: 100 pounds of soybeans/acre
Because 10 years have passed and they lost 100 pounds of soybean production per acre, the farmer should expect to lose 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year (-10 pounds of soybeans per acre/year)
7. The mean age at first marriage for respondents in a survey is 23.33,
with a standard deviation of 6.13. For an age at first marriage of 33.44,
the proportion of area beyond the Z score associated with this age is
.05. What is the percentile rank for this score?
Answer:
[tex] \mu = 23.33, \sigma =6.13[/tex]
And for this case we are analyzing the value os 33.44 and we can use the z score formula given by:
[tex] z=\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] z=\frac{33.44 -23.33}{6.13}= 1.649[/tex]
We know that the proportion of area beyond the Z score associated with this age is .05 so then the percentile would be: 95
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following parameters:
[tex] \mu = 23.33, \sigma =6.13[/tex]
And for this case we are analyzing the value os 33.44 and we can use the z score formula given by:
[tex] z=\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] z=\frac{33.44 -23.33}{6.13}= 1.649[/tex]

The graphs below have the same shape. What is the equation of the red
graph?
Step-by-step explanation:
If they have the same shape, the red graph is a translation of the blue, which is given to be y=x^2.
Since the red graph stays on the y axis at two units above the blue (y=x^2) curve, therefore the red curve is given by y=x^2+2.
The equation of the red graph is f(x) = x² + 2.
Option B is the correct answer.
What is an equation?An equation contains one or more terms with variables connected by an equal sign.
Example:
2x + 4y = 9 is an equation.
2x = 8 is an equation.
We have,
The graphs of f(x) = x² and f(x) = x² + 2 are both quadratic functions, which means they have a parabolic shape.
The graph of f(x) = x^2 is an upward-opening parabola with its vertex at the origin (0,0).
The parabola is symmetric about the y-axis and the x-axis.
The graph of f(x) = x² + 2 is also an upward-opening parabola, but it has been shifted upward by 2 units compared to the graph of f(x) = x².
This means that the vertex of the parabola has been shifted from (0,0) to (0,2).
Thus,
The equation of the red graph is f(x) = x² + 2.

The graphs below are the same shape what is the equation of the blue graph
Answer:
B. g(x) = (x-2)^2 +1
Step-by-step explanation:
When you see this type of equation your get the variables H and K in a quadratic equation. In this case the (x-2)^2 +1 is your H. The (x-2)^2 +1 is your K.
For the H you always do the opposite so in this case instead of going to the left 2 times you go to the right 2 times (affects your x)
For the K you go up or down which in this case you go up one (affects your y)
And that's how you got your (2,1) as the center of the parabola

the ellipse is centered at the origin, has axes of lengths 8 and 4, its major axis is horizontal. how do you write an equation for this ellipse?
Answer:
The equation for this ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^{2}}{64} + \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of the ellipse is described by the following expression:
[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1[/tex]
Where [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are the horizontal and vertical semi-axes, respectively. Given that major semi-axis is horizontal, [tex]a > b[/tex]. Then, the equation for this ellipse is written in this way: (a = 8, b = 4)
[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{64} + \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1[/tex]
The equation for this ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^{2}}{64} + \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1[/tex].
a) Al usar un microscopio el microscopio se amplía una célula 400 veces. Escribe el factor de ampliación como cociente o como escala.
b) La imagen de una célula usando dicho microscopio mide 1,5 mm ¿ Cuánto mide la célula en la realidad?
Answer:
x = 0,00375 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) El factor de ampliación es 400/1 es decir el tamaño real se verá ampliado 400 veces mediante el uso del microscopio
b) De acuerdo a lo establecido en la respuesta a la pregunta referida en a (anterior) podemos establecer una regla de tres, según:
Si al microscopio el tamaño de la célula es 1,5 mm, cual será el tamaño verdadero ( que es reducido 400 en relación al que veo en el microscopio)
Es decir 1,5 mm ⇒ 400
x (mm) ⇒ 1 (tamaño real de la célula)
Entonces
x = 1,5 /400
x = 0,00375 mm
The width of a casing for a door is normally distributed with a mean of 24 inches and a standard deviation of 1/8 inch. The width of a door is normally distributed with a mean of 23 7/8 inches and a standard deviation of 1/16 inch. Assume independence. a. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door. b. What is the probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch? c. What is the probability that the door does not fit in the casing?
Answer:
a) Mean = 0.125 inch
Standard deviation = 0.13975 inch
b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25) = 0.18673
c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing = P(X < 0) = 0.18673
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distribution of the width of the casing be X₁ (μ₁, σ₁²)
Let the distribution of the width of the door be X₂ (μ₂, σ₂²)
The distribution of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door = X = X₁ - X₂
when two independent normal distributions are combined in any manner, the resulting distribution is also a normal distribution with
Mean = Σλᵢμᵢ
λᵢ = coefficient of each disteibution in the manner that they are combined
μᵢ = Mean of each distribution
Combined variance = σ² = Σλᵢ²σᵢ²
λ₁ = 1, λ₂ = -1
μ₁ = 24 inches
μ₂ = 23 7/8 inches = 23.875 inches
σ₁² = (1/8)² = (1/64) = 0.015625
σ₂ ² = (1/16)² = (1/256) = 0.00390625
Combined mean = μ = 24 - 23.875 = 0.125 inch
Combined variance = σ² = (1² × 0.015625) + [(-1)² × 0.00390625] = 0.01953125
Standard deviation = √(Variance) = √(0.01953125) = 0.1397542486 = 0.13975 inch
b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25)
This is a normal distribution problem
Mean = μ = 0.125 inch
Standard deviation = σ = 0.13975 inch
We first normalize/standardize 0.25 inch
The standardized score of any value is that value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation.
z = (x - μ)/σ = (0.25 - 0.125)/0.13975 = 0.89
P(X > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89)
Checking the tables
P(x > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.89) = 1 - 0.81327 = 0.18673
c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing
If X₂ > X₁, X < 0
P(X < 0)
We first normalize/standardize 0 inch
z = (x - μ)/σ = (0 - 0.125)/0.13975 = -0.89
P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89)
Checking the tables
P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89) = 0.18673

The mean MCAT score 29.5. Suppose that the Kaplan tutoring company obtains a sample of 40 students with a mean MCAT score of 32.2 with a standard deviation of 4.2. Test the claim that the students that took the Kaplan tutoring have a mean score greater than 29.5 at a 0.05 level of significance.
Answer:
We conclude that the students that took the Kaplan tutoring have a mean score greater than 29.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the Kaplan tutoring company obtains a sample of 40 students with a mean MCAT score of 32.2 with a standard deviation of 4.2.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean score
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \leq[/tex] 29.5 {means that the students that took the Kaplan tutoring have a mean score less than or equal to 29.5}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > 29.5 {means that the students that took the Kaplan tutoring have a mean score greater than 29.5}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean MCAT score = 32.2
s = sample standard deviation = 4.2
n = sample of students = 40
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{32.2-29.5}{\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{40} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_3_9[/tex]
= 4.066
The value of t-test statistics is 4.066.
Now, at 0.05 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of 1.685 at 39 degrees of freedom for the right-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of t as 4.066 > 1.685, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the students that took the Kaplan tutoring have a mean score greater than 29.5.

Provide your answer below:
Lower Class Limit Upper Class Limit Relative Frequency
Answer:
The frequency table is shown below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data set arranged ascending order is:
S = {33 , 34 , 39 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 58 , 58, 60 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 70 , 71 , 74 , 84}
It is asked to use the minimum value from the data set as the lower class limit for the first row.
So, the lower class limit for the first class interval is 33.
To determine the class width compute the range as follows:
[tex]\text{Range}=\text{Maximum}-\text{Minimum}[/tex]
[tex]=84-33\\=51[/tex]
The number of classes requires is 5.
The class width is:
[tex]\text{Class width}=\frac{Range}{5}=\frac{51}{2}=10.2\approx 10[/tex]
So, the class width is 10.
The classes are:
33 - 42
43 - 52
53 - 62
63 - 72
73 - 82
83 - 92
Compute the frequencies of each class as follows:
Class Interval Values Frequency
33 - 42 33 , 34 , 39 3
43 - 52 48 , 49 , 50 3
53 - 62 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 58 , 58, 60 7
63 - 72 63 , 64 , 65 , 70 , 71 5
73 - 82 74 1
83 - 92 84 1
TOTAL 20
Compute the relative frequencies as follows:
Class Interval Frequency Relative Frequency
33 - 42 3 [tex]\frac{3}{20}\times 100\%=15\%[/tex]
43 - 52 3 [tex]\frac{3}{20}\times 100\%=15\%[/tex]

A rock is tossed from a height of 2 meters at an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 20° with the ground. Write parametric equations to represent the path of the rock. (Show work)
Answer:
x = 28.01t,
y = 10.26t - 4.9t^2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are given that an object is thrown with an initial velocity of say, v1 m / s at a height of h meters, at an angle of theta ( θ ), these parametric equations would be in the following format -
x = ( 30 cos 20° )( time ),
y = - 4.9t^2 + ( 30 cos 20° )( time ) + 2
To determine " ( 30 cos 20° )( time ) " you would do the following calculations -
( x = 30 * 0.93... = ( About ) 28.01t
This represents our horizontal distance, respectively the vertical distance should be the following -
y = 30 * 0.34 - 4.9t^2,
( y = ( About ) 10.26t - 4.9t^2 + 2
In other words, our solution should be,
x = 28.01t,
y = 10.26t - 4.9t^2 + 2
These are are parametric equations

Karl has $1,500. He spends $375 on a phone and of the rest on a gaming system. What percent of his money is spent on the gaming system?
Answer:
75 %
Step-by-step explanation:
1500 - 375 =1125
So 1125 is spent on the gaming system
Take this over the total amount to get the decimal form
1125/1500 =.75
Change to percent form
75 %
Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to find the amount he is using for the gaming system which is
$1500 - $375 = $1125
Now we will express $1125 as a percentage of the total amount and we do that like this;

The number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room can be modeled by a Poisson process with a rate parameter of six per hour.
(a) What is the probability that exactly three arrivals occur during a particular hour? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(b) What Is the probability that at least three people arrive during a particular hour? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) How many people do you expect to arrive during a 15-min period?
Answer:
a) P(x=3)=0.089
b) P(x≥3)=0.938
c) 1.5 arrivals
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t be the time (in hours), then random variable X is the number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room.
The variable X is modeled by a Poisson process with a rate parameter of λ=6.
The probability of exactly k arrivals in a particular hour can be written as:
[tex]P(x=k)=\lambda^{k} \cdot e^{-\lambda}/k!\\\\P(x=k)=6^k\cdot e^{-6}/k![/tex]
a) The probability that exactly 3 arrivals occur during a particular hour is:
[tex]P(x=3)=6^{3} \cdot e^{-6}/3!=216*0.0025/6=0.089\\\\[/tex]
b) The probability that at least 3 people arrive during a particular hour is:
[tex]P(x\geq3)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)]\\\\\\P(0)=6^{0} \cdot e^{-6}/0!=1*0.0025/1=0.002\\\\P(1)=6^{1} \cdot e^{-6}/1!=6*0.0025/1=0.015\\\\P(2)=6^{2} \cdot e^{-6}/2!=36*0.0025/2=0.045\\\\\\P(x\geq3)=1-[0.002+0.015+0.045]=1-0.062=0.938[/tex]
c) In this case, t=0.25, so we recalculate the parameter as:
[tex]\lambda =r\cdot t=6\;h^{-1}\cdot 0.25 h=1.5[/tex]
The expected value for a Poisson distribution is equal to its parameter λ, so in this case we expect 1.5 arrivals in a period of 15 minutes.
[tex]E(x)=\lambda=1.5[/tex]
In a survey, 205 people indicated they prefer cats, 160 indicated they prefer dots, and 40 indicated they don’t enjoy either pet. Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they prefer cats
Answer: probability = 0.506
Step-by-step explanation:
The data we have is:
Total people: 205 + 160 + 40 = 405
prefer cats: 205
prefer dogs: 160
neither: 40
The probability that a person chosen at random prefers cats is equal to the number of people that prefer cats divided the total number of people:
p = 205/405 = 0.506
in percent form, this is 50.6%

Which of the following statements about feasible solutions to a linear programming problem is true?A. Min 4x + 3y + (2/3)z
B. Max 5x2 + 6y2
C. Max 5xy
D. Min (x1+x2)/3
Answer:
The answer is "Option A"
Step-by-step explanation:
The valid linear programming language equation can be defined as follows:
Equation:
[tex]\Rightarrow \ Min\ 4x + 3y + (\frac{2}{3})z[/tex]
The description of a linear equation can be defined as follows:
It is an algebraic expression whereby each term contains a single exponent, and a single direction consists in the linear interpolation of the equation.
Formula:
[tex]\to \boxed{y= mx+c}[/tex]
Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. Perimeter: 116 meters
Answer:
Length = 29 m
Width = 29 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle, respectively.
The area and perimeter are given by:
[tex]A=xy\\p=116=2x+2y\\y=58-x[/tex]
Rewriting the area as a function of x:
[tex]A(x) = x(58-x)\\A(x) = 58x-x^2[/tex]
The value of x for which the derivate of the area function is zero, is the length that maximizes the area:
[tex]A(x) = 58x-x^2\\\frac{dA}{dx}=0=58-2x\\ x=29\ m[/tex]
The value of y is:
[tex]y = 58-29\\y=29\ m[/tex]
Length = 29 m
Width = 29 m
