Garth can row 5 miles per hour in still water. It takes him as long to row 4 miles upstream as 16 miles
downstream. How fast is the current?
Answer:
The speed of the current is 3 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations for rate (r), distance (d), and time (t) are ⇒ d = rt, r = d/t, = t = d/r
Let x = speed in still water
Let c = speed of the current
The main difference with these problems is rate needs to be expressed using two variables because moving upstream the current is against you and downstream it moves with you.
Distance Rate Time
Upstream x − c
Downstream x + c
The distance column with the numbers from the problem and the value for speed in still water for x.
Distance Rate Time
Upstream 4 5 − c
Downstream 16 5 + c
The column for time using the other two columns knowing that rate, distance ⇒ time = Distance Rate Time
Upstream 4 5 − c
5 − c
4
Downstream 16 5 + c
5 + c
16
“It takes as long …” from the problem means that the two times are equal to each other. So, the equation can be written as:
4/5− c = 16/5 + c ⇒ Solve by cross-multiplying ⇒ 5(4 + c) = 16 5( − c) ⇒ c = 3
In a lab experiment, 80 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 16 hours. Write a function showing the number of bacteria after tt hours, where the hourly growth rate can be found from a constant in the function. Round all coefficients in the function to four decimal places. Also, determine the percentage of growth per hour, to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
Answer:
The hourly growth rate is of 4.43%.
The function showing the number of bacteria after t hours is [tex]P(t) = 80(1.0443)^t[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of population growth:
The equation for the population after t hours is given by:
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]
In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.
The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 16 hours.
This means that [tex]P(16) = 2P(0)[/tex]. We use this to find r.
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]
[tex]2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^{16}[/tex]
[tex](1+r)^{16} = 2[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt[16]{(1+r)^{16}} = \sqrt[16]{2}[/tex]
[tex]1 + r = 2^{\frac{1}{16}}[/tex]
[tex]1 + r = 1.0443[/tex]
[tex]r = 1.0443 - 1[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.0443[/tex]
The hourly growth rate is of 4.43%.
80 bacteria are placed in a petri dish.
This means that [tex]P(0) = 80[/tex].
[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]
[tex]P(t) = 80(1+0.0443)^t[/tex]
[tex]P(t) = 80(1.0443)^t[/tex]
The function showing the number of bacteria after t hours is [tex]P(t) = 80(1.0443)^t[/tex]

The board of a major credit card company requires that the mean wait time for customers when they call customer service is at most 4.50 minutes. To make sure that the mean wait time is not exceeding the requirement, an assistant manager tracks the wait times of 53 randomly selected calls. The mean wait time was calculated to be 4.94 minutes. Assuming the population standard deviation is 2.10 minutes, is there sufficient evidence to say that the mean wait time for customers is longer than 4.50 minutes with a 98% level of confidence?
1. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
2. Compute the value of the test statistic.
3. Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
Answer:
H0 : μ = 4.50
H1 : μ > 4.50
Test statistic = 1.525
we conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean wait time for customers is longer than 4.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
H0 : μ = 4.50
H1 : μ > 4.50
Test statistic :
(xbar - μ) ÷ s/sqrt(n)
(4.94 - 4.50) ÷ 2.10/ sqrt(53)
0.44 / 2.10/ sqrt(53)
= 1.525
α = 1 - 98% = 0.02
Decision region :
Reject H0 ; if Pvalue < α
Pvalue = p(Z < 1.525) = 0.936
Pvalue = 0.936
Since Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject H0
Hence, we conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean wait time for customers is longer than 4.50.

Find an equation of a line of best fit shown in the figure given below.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
So you can use two points on the line to find the gradient. I used K and G. B and D could've been easily eliminated since the line goes through the origin (0,0) so there's no y - intercept or b value.
M = (Y-y)/(X-x)
M = (8-4)/(14-7)
M = 4/7
And the equation of a line is y = mx + b. There's no b so it's just y = (4/7)x

$650 is invested in an account earning 8.6% interest (APR), compounded monthly. Write a function showing the value of the account after tt years, where the annual growth rate can be found from a constant in the function. Round all coefficients in the function to four decimal places. Also, determine the percentage of growth per year (APY), to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
Answer:
The value of the acount after t years is of [tex]A(t) = 650(1.0072)^{12t}[/tex]
The annual growth rate is of 0.72%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Compound interest:
The compound interest formula is given by:
[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.
$650 is invested in an account earning 8.6% interest (APR), compounded monthly.
This means that [tex]P = 650, r = 0.086, n = 12[/tex]. So
[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
[tex]A(t) = 650(1 + \frac{0.086}{12})^{12t}[/tex]
[tex]A(t) = 650(1.0072)^{12t}[/tex]
The value of the acount after t years is of [tex]A(t) = 650(1.0072)^{12t}[/tex]
Annual growth rate
1.0072 - 1 = 0.0072 = 0.72%
The annual growth rate is of 0.72%.
x = 8 – 2y
x + 3y = 12
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x, y) = (0, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an expression for x, substitution works nicely.
(8 -2y) +3y = 12 . . . . . . use the first equation to substitute for x in the 2nd
y = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8, collect terms
x = 8 -2(4) = 0 . . . . substitute for y in the first equation
The solution is (x, y) = (0, 4).

Answer:
see the answers below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
P=$4,250
Rate= 5.25%
Time= t years
1. The compound interest expression is
A=4250(1+0.0525)^t
A=4250(1.0525)^t

Every now and then even a good diamond cutter has a problem and the diamond breaks. For one cutter, the rate of breaks is .2%. Suppose now that you want to find the probability that at least 1 is broken when twelve diamond cutters are selected at random. Choose the option below that best answers how to do this question. Let X be the discrete random variable that represents the number of breaks. Assume a binomial distribution.
a. do (.998)^12 Ob)
b. do 1 – [(-998)^12] c)
c. calculate P(X=1) + P(X=2) +...+ P(X=12) using the binomial formula or an individual table in excel d)
d. calculate the P(X31) using the binomial formula or a cumulative table in excel e)
e. both b and care correct f)
f. both c and d are correct
Answer:
calculate P(X=1) + P(X=2) +...+ P(X=12) using the binomial formula or an individual table in excel
calculate the P(X ≥ 12) using the binomial formula or a cumulative table in excel
Step-by-step explanation:
For a binomial distribution :
P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)
n = number of trials = 12 ; x = number of successes
p = probability of success = 0.2% = 0.002
1 - p = 1 - 0.002 = 0.998
Probability that atleast 1 is broken ;
p(1) + p(2) + p(3) +... + p(12) ;
This can be calculated by summing the values obtained using the binomial formula or in excel.
Alternatively, using the binomial formular or excel, the cumulative probability could be obtained as P(x ≥ 1)
