Paula knows the total cost for 100 students will be $750, and the cost total cost for 150 students is $1050. What is the caterer’s fixed cost and the rate per student served?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the price charged for 100 students reflects the cost per student that applies to the order as a whole.

100 * 6 = $600, so the fixed cost is 750-600 = 150.

...

We can check this by substituting in the other equation.

Does 150*6 + 150 = 1050?

150*6=900

900+150 = 1050.

Yes, it does

...

We can express this relationship by the equation:

y = mx + b

where

y = total cost

m = $6 per student

x = number of students

b = fixed costs = 150

y = 6x + 150

Answer 2

The caterer’s fixed cost and the rate per student served is $6 and $150

How to choose what quantity to multiply the first equation?

This method is actually called method of elimination to solve a system of linear equations.

We make one specific variable's coefficients of equal magnitude so that we can subtract or add the equations and eliminate that variable to make it easy to get the value of the other variable which will then help in getting the value of the first variable (if working in dual variable system).

If we have equations:

[tex]a_1x + b_1y = c_1\\a_2x + b_2y = c_2[/tex]

then, if we want to eliminate variable x, then we have to multiply equation 1 with

[tex]-\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]

which will make coefficient of x in first equation as

[tex]a_1 \times - \dfrac{a_2}{a_1} = -a_1[/tex]

Then adding both equation will eliminate the variable x.

Given;

Cost of 100 students= $750

Cost of 150 students= %1050

Let the fixed cost of caterer be x

and the cost per student be y

x+100y=750...(1)

x+150y=1050...(2)

solving the above equations;

50y=300

y=6

x=750-600=150

The fixed cost is $150, while the per-student cost is $6.

write down the relation between mass and inerti​

Answers

Answer:

The mass of an object is directly proportional to its inertia.

[tex]m\alpha I[/tex]

Where

m = mass

I = inertia

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first of all start by defining the two key terms present here - mass and inertia.

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter contained in the object.

The inertia of an object is the resistance of an object which is in a state of rest to motion

The mass of an object is directly proportional to its inertia.

The heavier an object is, the more inertia it has. To put things into perspective, you can easily push a bicycle because it does not really have a lot of mass, as opposed to pushing an eighteen-wheeler trailer.

The health center of a small, private university requires students to have appointments for visits. Each appointment takes an average of minutes with a standard deviation of minutes. The health center makes appointments each day and is scheduled to be open for hours. What is the probability that the total time spent for students who have appointments for tomorrow will exceed hours? (Hint: hours minutes.) Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Report your result to at least three decimal places.

Answers

Some data in the question are missing. The complete question is :

The health center of a small, private university requires students to have appointments for visits. Each appointment takes an average of 5.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. The health center makes 100 appointments each day and is scheduled to be open for 10 hours. What is the probability that the total time spent for 100 students who have appointments for tomorrow will exceed 10 hours? (Hint: 10 hours=600 minutes.) Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Report your result to at least three decimal places.

Solution :

Let the time spent by [tex]$i^{th} $[/tex] students for the appointment be = [tex]$X_i$[/tex]

∴ E([tex]$X_i$[/tex]) = 5.6

   V([tex]$X_i$[/tex]) = [tex]$3.5^2$[/tex]

n = 100

The required probability

[tex]$P\left( \sum_{i=1} ^{100} X_i \leq 600 \right)$[/tex]

Now, [tex]$E\left( \sum_{i=1} ^{100} X_i \right) = 100 \times E (X_i) $[/tex]

                            = 100 x 5.6

                            = 560

[tex]$V\left( \sum_{i=1} ^{100} X_i \right) = (100)^2 \times (3.5)^2 $[/tex]

Standard deviation = 3.5 x 100

                                = 35

[tex]$P\left( \sum_{i=1} ^{100} X_i \leq 600 \right)$[/tex]

[tex]$\Rightarrow P\left( \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{100} X_i -560} {35} \leq \frac{600-560}{35}\right)$[/tex]

[tex]$= \phi (1.14286)$[/tex]

= 0.8735

= 0.874  (round to 3 decimal places)

A car journey has two stages.
Stage 1: The car travels 110 miles in two hours
Stage 2: The car travels 44 miles at the same average speed as stage 1
Work out the time for stage 2
Give your answer in minutes.

Answers

Answer:

48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

2h = 110 miles

1h = 110 ÷ 2

    = 55 miles

Therefore, the speed of the entire journey is 55 miles per hour.

1h = 60 minutes

55 miles = 1h

55 miles = 60 minutes

44 miles = [tex]\frac{44}{55}[/tex] × 60 minutes

It's an unfair method because each student will not post the same outcomes.

Answer: It's an unfair method because two or more students could get the same results./ D

Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps

Answer:

B. It's a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Step-by-step-explanation :

According to the question , there are a total of 6 students to be selected by the principal.  

So, the principal chose to roll two dice numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for the selected students and choose the one whose number is most repeated.

Since we have sis sides on a dice , 2 dice [tex]= 6\times6=36[/tex]

The  probability that a student will choose one number :[tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex]

Thus, the selection of each student is given by the number

[tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex]

So,each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

So, the principal choose a fair method.

of 16ft? Round to the nearest tenths place

Answers

Answer:

Volume of cylinder is: Volume=1808.64 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of cylinder = 9 ft

Base diameter of cylinder = 16 ft

We need to find volume of cylinder .

The formula used is: [tex]Volume=\pi r^2h[/tex]

We need radius:

The radius = diameter/2 = 16/2 = 8 ft

Putting values and finding volume of cylinder

[tex]Volume=\pi r^2h[/tex]

[tex]Volume=3.14\times (8)^2\times (9) \\Volume=3.14\times 64\times (9) \\Volume=1808.64 \: ft^3[/tex]

X is normally distributed random variable with mean 63 and standard deviation 6, the probability that X lies between 45 and 81 is

Answers

Answer:

P(45<X<81) = P(-3<z<3)=0.9974 or 99.74%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 63

Standard Deviation =6

We need to find probability that X lies between 45 and 81 i.e P(45<X<81)

First we will find z-score for X=45 and X=81

For X=45 the z-score can be found using formula:  [tex]z-score=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Putting values and finding z-score

[tex]z-score=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\z-score=\frac{45-63}{6}\\z-score=-3[/tex]

For X=45, z-score is -3

For X=81 the z-score can be found using formula:  [tex]z-score=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Putting values and finding z-score

[tex]z-score=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\z-score=\frac{81-63}{6}\\z-score=3[/tex]

For X=81, z-score is 3

Now finding the probability of P(-3<z<3)

It can be solved as:

P(-3<z<3)=P(z<3)-P(z<-3)

Looking at the z-score table to find

P(z<3)= 0.9987

P(z<-3)=0.0013

So, P(-3<z<3)=P(z<3)-P(z<-3)

P(-3<z<3)=0.9987 - 0.0013

P(-3<z<3)=0.9974

or P(-3<z<3)= 99.74%

So, P(45<X<81) = P(-3<z<3)=0.9974 or 99.74%
