A contractor decided to build homes that will include the middle 80% of the market. If the average size of homes built is 1810 ft2 with a standard deviation of 92 ft2, find the maximum and minimum sizes of the homes the contractor should build. Assume that the size of homes is normally distributed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum sizes of the homes the contractor should build is of 1692.24 square feet.

The maximum sizes of the homes the contractor should build is of 1927.76 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The average size of homes built is 1810 ft2 with a standard deviation of 92 ft2

This means that [tex]\mu = 1810, \sigma = 92[/tex]

Middle 80%:

Between the (100-80)/2 = 10th percentile and the (100+80)/2 = 90th percentule.

Minimum size:

The 10th percentule, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1, so X when Z = -1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.28 = \frac{X - 1810}{92}[/tex]

[tex]X - 1810 = -1.28*92[/tex]

[tex]X = 1692.24[/tex]

The minimum sizes of the homes the contractor should build is of 1692.24 square feet.

Maximum size:

The 90th percentule, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 1810}{92}[/tex]

[tex]X - 1810 = 1.28*92[/tex]

[tex]X = 1927.76[/tex]

The maximum sizes of the homes the contractor should build is of 1927.76 square feet.

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of the function y = 4x^2-8x-3

Answers

Answer:

x = 1 and vertex = (1, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic function in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

The the equation of the axis of symmetry which is also the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

y = 4x² - 8x - 3 ← is in standard form

with a = 4, b = - 8 , then

x = - [tex]\frac{-8}{8}[/tex] = 1

That is equation of axis of symmetry is x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into the function for y- coordinate of vertex

y = 4(1)² - 8(1) - 3 = 4 - 8 - 3 = - 7

vertex = (1, - 7 )

the area of the squared is 5 * 5 = 25

the area of the triangle is 1/2*base*height = 1/2*2*5= 5

the area of the circle is  [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]2.5^{2}[/tex] = 19.625

now add the pieces up for the total

25+5+19.625 = 49.625 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]

:)

First, find the area of the semi-circle.

A= pi*radius squared

Find your radius. The diameter is 5, half of that is 2.5

Input into the formula

A= pi*2.5^2

  =3.14*6.25

  =19.625 in^2

You can round that to about 19.6 inches.

Find the area of the square

A=s^2

 = 5^2

 = 25 in^2

Find the area of the triangle.

A= b*h/2

 = 2*5/2

 = 10/2

 = 5 in^2

Add it all up.

19.6+ 25 + 5= 49.6

∴ 49.6 in²

A doughnut shop wants to determine if there is a difference in donut sales at different times of the day and for different types of doughnuts. They are open in the morning, afternoon, and night, and offer the following flavors: vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, and marbled. There were a total of 48 sales recorded. The shop conducted a two-way ANOVA test and found an F test statistic for Flavor of 14.87. What would be the numerator degree of freedom for the F test statistic to determine if the factor flavor was significant

Answers

Solution :

Let

[tex]$k_1$[/tex] = number of levels for the factors 'flavors' = 4

      (4 levels vanilla, chocolate, red velvet and marbled)

The degree of freedom for the factor 'flavors' = [tex]$k_1$[/tex] - 1

                                                                            = 4 - 1

                                                                            = 3

Now defining the F test statistics for testing the significance of the factors, 'flavors' :

F test statics = [tex]$=\frac{Ms\text{ (factor falvor)}}{Ms \text{ (errors)}}$[/tex]          ,   Ms = mean square

where F = [tex]$F_{k_1-1}$[/tex], error df.

Thus the numerator degrees of the freedom for the F test statistics to determine if the factor flavor was significant is = [tex]$k_1$[/tex] - 1

                                                                            = 4 - 1

                                                                            = 3

C. »+1-- *(x-2)
O D. v-2-- }(x+1)

Answers

Answer:

c. y + 1 = -⅕(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in point-slope form, we need to know the slope (m) and coordinates of a point the line passes through.

The equation would be in the form of y - b = m(x - a).

(a, b) = (2, -1)

Since the line is perpendicular to y = 5x + 3, the slope will be the negative reciprocal of 5 which is -⅕

m = -⅕.

Substitute a = 2, b = -1, and m = -⅕ into y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - (-1) = -⅕(x - 2)

y + 1 = -⅕(x - 2)

Why is 6P4 = 360 but 6C4 = 15?

Answers

Short answer (I write nPr = P(n, r) and nCr = C(n, r) ):

P (6, 4) = 6! / (6 - 4)! = 6! / 2! = 720 / 2 = 360

C (6, 4) = P (6, 4) / 4! = 6! / (4! (6 - 4)!) = 360 / 24 = 15

Long answer:

P(n, r) counts the number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time, given by

P(n, r) = n ! / (n - r )!

A permutation is a unique arrangement of objects such that the order in which they are arranged is taken into account. For example, if the objects in question are the numbers in the set {1, 2, 3}, then

• there are 3! = 6 total possible permutations if we take all 3 numbers at once:

123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321

• there are 3!/(3-2)! = 3!/1! = 6 total permutations if we only take 2 numbers at once:

12, 13, 21, 23, 31, 32

• there are 3!/(3-1)! = 3!/2! = 3 total permutations if we take only 1 number at a time:

1, 2, 3

• and there is 3!/(3-0)! = 3!/3! = 1 way of permuting the 3 numbers without taking any of them:

(the permutation itself is just empty space)

By contrast, C(n, r) counts the combinations of n items taken r at a time, given by

C(n, r) = P(n, r) / r !

A combination is like a permutation, but the order of the objects doesn't matter. Continuing with the previous example of arrangements of the numbers from {1, 2, 3}, we have

• 3! / (3! (3-3)!) = 1 combination taking all 3 numbers at once:

123

(the other 5 permutations listed earlier are made up of the same numbers, so we consider them duplicates)

• 3! / (2! (3-2)!) = 3 combinations taking only 2 numbers at once:

12, 13, 23

• 3! / (1! (3-1)!) = 3 combinations taking only 1 number:

1, 2, 3

• 3! / (0! (3-0)!) = 1 combination taking none of them:

(again, empty space)

The main point is that the order of objects is considered across permutations, while it's ignored across combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resale Value Garland Mills purchased a certain piece of machinery 2 years ago for $500,000. Its present resale value is $420,000. Assuming that the machine's resale value decreases exponentially, what will it be (in dollars) 4 years from now? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

260,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The value decreases by 40,000 per year (500000-42000/2 years) the value will decrease by 240000 in six (4 years plus 2 years already passed) years. 6 x 40,000 =240000

So, the value should be 260,000 (500000-240000)

Or

year 1 500000-40000=460000

year 2 460000-40000=420000

year 3 420000-40000=380000

year 4 380000-40000=340000

year 5 340000-40000=300000

year 6 300000-40000=260000

The machine's resale value Garland Mills purchased in 4 years from now will be; $353,049

What is the future value amount?

We are told that the machines present resale value is $420000. Now formula for future value is;

Future value = present value * exp(cx)

Thus;

$420,000 = $500,000 * exp(2c)

420000/500000 = exp(4c)

2c = In(420000/500000)

c = -0.087

Future value = present value * exp(cx)

Future value = $500,000 * exp(-0.087 * 4)

Future value = $353,049

Therefore, the machine's resale value in 4 years from now will be  $353,049

Auntie Sammy buys a hand bag. There was a discount
of 20%.
If Auntie Sammy paid $245, what was the original price?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the original proce would be  $265

1. Subtract the percentage discount from 100

100 - 20= 80

2. Multiply the final price($245) by 100

245 × 100= 24,500

3. Divide the answer in step 2 by the answer in Step 1

24,500 ÷ 80= $306.25

answer is $306.25

How to check to ensure your answer is correct:

1. Multiply the "answer" by the discount price divided by 100. This will give the discount percentage in dollars.

$306.25 × 0.2( which is 20÷100)= $61.25(discount in dollars)

2. Subtract the discount in dollars from the "answer"

$306.25 - $61.25= $245(final price is the same as in the problem so it is correct)

OR

1. Multiply the original price by the number you get from step 1 in your problem divided by 100

$306.25 × 0.8(80 from the very first step divided by 100)= $245(the final price is the same given in the question)
