Nine scores have an average of 8. Scores x and x+1 are added, and these increase the average to 9. Find x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x must be 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the nine scores by a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i.

Write the following equation to indicate that the average of these nine scores is 8:

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i

----------------------------- = 8, or a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i = 72 if we multiply both

               9                      sides of this equation by 9.

Next, we add scores x and x+ 1 to

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i  +  x + x + 1

and divide the result by 11, as there are now 11 scores instead of just 9:

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i  +  x + x + 1

----------------------------------------------

                        11

Earlier, we saw that a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i = 72.  We can now replace

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i in the above fraction by 72:

 72 + 2x + 1

------------------- = 9 (as the new average is 9)

         11

Multiplying both sides of this equation by 11 results in:

73 + 2x = 99, or  2x = 26.

Then x must be 13, and x + 1 must be 14.

Maria’s phone bills were $95, $67, $43, and $115. What was the mean, or average, of her phone bills?

Answers

Answer:

the mean is $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of Phone Bills =

[tex] \frac{phone \: bills \: total}{number \: of \: phone \: bills} \\ = \frac{95 + 67 + 43 + 115}{4} \\ = \frac{320}{4} \\ = 80[/tex]

Two people start biking from the same point. One heads east at 13 ​mph, the other south at 18 mph. What is the rate at which the distance between the two people is changing after 25 minutes and after 35 ​minutes? What is the rate at which the distance between the two people is changing after 25 ​minutes?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]22.21\ \text{mph}[/tex]

[tex]22.2\ \text{mph}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt}=13\ \text{mph}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{db}{dt}=18\ \text{mph}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dc}{dt}[/tex] = Rate at which the distance between the two people is changing

At 25 minutes

[tex]a=13\times \dfrac{25}{60}=5.417\ \text{miles}[/tex]

[tex]b=18\times \dfrac{25}{60}=7.5\ \text{miles}[/tex]

[tex]c=\sqrt{5.417^2+7.5^2}\\\Rightarrow c=9.25\ \text{miles}[/tex]

Distance between the two people is

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to time we get

[tex]c\dfrac{dc}{dt}=a\dfrac{da}{dt}+b\dfrac{db}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dc}{dt}=\dfrac{a\dfrac{da}{dt}+b\dfrac{db}{dt}}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dc}{dt}=\dfrac{5.417\times 13+7.5\times 18}{9.25}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dc}{dt}=22.21\ \text{mph}[/tex]

Distance between the two people is changing at a rate of [tex]22.21\ \text{mph}[/tex].

At 35 minutes

[tex]a=13\times \dfrac{35}{60}=7.583\ \text{miles}[/tex]

[tex]b=18\times \dfrac{35}{60}=10.5\ \text{miles}[/tex]

[tex]c=\sqrt{7.583^2+10.5^2}\\\Rightarrow c=12.95\ \text{miles}[/tex]

Distance between the two people is

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to time we get

[tex]c\dfrac{dc}{dt}=a\dfrac{da}{dt}+b\dfrac{db}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dc}{dt}=\dfrac{a\dfrac{da}{dt}+b\dfrac{db}{dt}}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dc}{dt}=\dfrac{7.583\times 13+10.5\times 18}{12.95}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dc}{dt}=22.2\ \text{mph}[/tex]

Distance between the two people is changing at a rate of [tex]22.2\ \text{mph}[/tex].

An economist calculates that the cost of living in Westminster is currently $44,000 per year and is increasing by 5% per year. What will the cost of living be in 20 years? Round to the nearest cent.

Answers

Given:

Initial cost of living = $44,000

Rate of increase = 5% = 0.05

To find:

The cost of living in 20 years.

Solution:

The exponential growth model is:

[tex]y=a(1+r)^t[/tex]

Where, a is the initial value, r is the growth rate and t is the number of years.

Putting [tex]a=44000,r=0.05, t=20[/tex] in the above model, we get

[tex]y=44000(1+0.05)^{20}[/tex]

[tex]y=44000(1.05)^{20}[/tex]

[tex]y=116745.099026 [/tex]

[tex]y\approx 116745.10 [/tex]

Therefore, the cost of living in 20 years is about $116745.10.

Answers

Answer:

25 chapter books

Step-by-step explanation:

117 - (23×4)

[23×4=92]

.°. 117 - 92 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Shelf Capacity = Capacity per shelf x Number of Shelves

= 23 x 4

= 92

Number of new books to be fit in = 117

Amount of books Overflow = Number of books to be fit in - Total Shelf Capacity

= 117 - 92

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

C)  3X

Answer: C. 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x and 3x both have x, you can add them together to get 4x (if there is x by itself, it really means that there is one of it, so it would be 1x.)

Then, you subtract 7x by 4x, which gives you the answer, 3x. You could also solving it by asking yourself: What number plus 4x equals 7x, which would give you 3x.

Find the lateral surface 14ft area of the 2ft cylinder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

616 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area of a cylinder can be determined by;

Lateral surface area = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]rh

where: r is its radius, and h is its height.

Given in the question that the height of the cylinder is 14 feet and of radius 2 feet, then;

Lateral surface area = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]rh

                         = 2 x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x 2 x 14

                         = 2 x 22 x 2 x 7

                         = 616

Lateral surface area = 616 square feet

Thus, the lateral surface area of the cylinder is 616 square feet.

Capitalism establishes a social contract that makes it possible for individuals to exercise their franchise and free agency. It gives people the ability to be secure in themselves and their possessions and, having provided security, it enables people to assume risk that they were previously unwilling to assume. It creates the necessary conditions for people to escape poverty and create wealth for themselves and for others. Read a quotation by Roger Butters, a twenty-first-century economist.
