A wheelchair ramp is being built for entrance to a portable classroom. If the ramp has a slope of
1/12 and has a horizontal length of 5 m, what is its height to the nearest tenth of a metre?
a1.1 m
c. 0.4 m
b. 0.8 m
d. 0.3 m​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: Because you multiple 5m by 1/12?

Answer 2

If the ramp has a slope of  [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]  and has a horizontal length of [tex]5m[/tex] then its height to the nearest tenth of a meter will be  [tex]0.4 \ m[/tex] .

What is slope ?

Numerical measure of a line's inclination relative to the horizontal. The slope of any line, ray, or line segment is the ratio of the vertical to the horizontal distance between any two points on it.

i.e. Slope  [tex]m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{Length}}= \frac{H}{L}[/tex]

We have,

The ramp has a slope of  [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex],

Horizontal length of [tex]5m[/tex]

Height of ramp [tex]=x[/tex]

So,

Slope [tex]=\frac{H}{L} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

        [tex]\frac{H}{5} =\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

      [tex]H=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

       [tex]H=0.4 \ m[/tex]

So, the Height of the ramp is [tex]0.4 \ m[/tex] .

Hence, we can say that if the ramp has a slope of  [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]  and has a horizontal length of [tex]5m[/tex] then its height to the nearest tenth of a meter will be  [tex]0.4 \ m[/tex] .

The concentration of active ingredient in a liquid laundry detergent is thought to be affected by the type of catalyst used in the process. The standard deviation of active concentration is known to be 3 grams per liter regardless of the catalyst type. Ten observations on concentration are taken with each catalyst, and the data follow:

Catalyst 1: 57.9, 66.2, 65.4, 65.4, 65.2, 62.6, 67.6, 63.7, 67.2, 71.0
Catalyst 2: 66.4, 71.7, 70.3, 69.3, 64.8, 69.6, 68.6, 69.4, 65.3, 68.8.

a. Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean active concentrations for the two catalysts. Find the P-value.
b. Is there any evidence to indicate that the mean active concentrations depend on the choice of catalyst? Base your answer on the results of part (a).
c. Suppose that the true mean difference in active concentration is 5 grams per liter. What is the power of the test to detect this difference if α = 0.05?
d. If this difference of 5 grams per liter is really important, do you consider the sample sizes used by the experimenter to be adequate? Does the assumption of normality seem reasonable for both samples?

Answers

Answer:

a. The 95% C.I. is approximately -5.83 < μ₁ - μ₂ < -0.57

b. Yes

c. The power of the test is 0.03836

d. The sample size can be considered adequate

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given data in the study

Catalyst 1: 57.9, 66.2, 65.4, 65.4, 65.2, 62.6, 67.6, 63.7, 67.2, 71.0

Catalyst 2: 66.4 , 71.7, 70.3, 69.3, 64.8, 69.6, 68.6, 69.4, 65.3, 68.8

Using the Average, Standard Deviation function from Microsoft Excel, we have;

The mean for Catalyst 1, [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] = 65.22

The standard deviation for catalyst 1, σ₁ = 3.444416

The mean for Catalyst 2, [tex]\overline x_2[/tex] = 68.42

The standard deviation for catalyst 2, σ₂ = 2.22401

The 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean is given as follows;

[tex]\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} \right ) \pm z_{c}\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}} + \dfrac{\sigma_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

The critical-z for a 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\left (65.22-68.42 \right ) \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2}}{10} + \dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

The 95% C.I. is approximately -5.83 < μ₁ - μ₂ < -0.57

The test statistics is given as follows;

[tex]z=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}[/tex]

Therefore we have;

[tex]z=\dfrac{(65.22-68.42)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2} }{10}+\dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}} = -2.385[/tex]

The p-value = P(Z<-2.39 or Z > 2.39) = 2P(Z<-2.39) = 2 × 0.00842 = 0.01684

b. From the confidence interval which range from approximately -5.83 to -0.57 and does not include 0, therefore, there is a difference in mean active concentration which depends on the choice of catalyst

c. The power of the test

 The sample mean difference is given as follows;

[tex]\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} \right ) = \pm z_{c}\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}} + \dfrac{\sigma_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} \right ) = \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2}}{10} + \dfrac{3^{2}}{10}} = \pm 2.6296[/tex]

The z-value is given as follows;

[tex]z=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})-(\mu_{1}-\mu _{2} )}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}[/tex]

μ₁ - μ₂ = 5

When [tex]\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} = 2.6296[/tex]

[tex]z=\dfrac{2.6296-5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2} }{10}-\dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}} \approx -1.7667918[/tex]

When [tex]\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} = -2.6296[/tex]

[tex]z=\dfrac{-2.6296-5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2} }{10}-\dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}} \approx -5.686768[/tex]

The power of the test is given by P = P(Z<-5.69) + P(Z>-1.77) = 0 + 0.03836 = 0.03836

The power of the test = 0.03836

d. The sample size is statistically adequate because the confidence interval of -5.83 < μ₁ - μ₂ < -0.57 has a value of -5 as a possible population difference in mean

The assumption of normality seems adequate because the confidence interval obtained by using the sample standard deviation is given as follows;

(-5.74, -0.66) which also contains -5 which is the difference in the population mean

a home mortgage for a home that costs $672096 with a 4% interest rate for 24 years. How much is the monthly payment for the mortgage with the interest?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $3633.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly payment is given by the amortization formula:

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

monthly payment for principal P at annual rate r for t years.

  A = $672096(0.04/12)/(1 -(1 +0.04/12)^(-12·24)) = $3633.96

The monthly payment for the mortgage is $3633.96.

Mark stated that the slope of the line that passes through these two points (1, -19) and (-2, -7) is -¼. Is Mark correct? Explain. (show your work).

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

We can use the values ...

  (x1, y1) = (1, -19)

  (x2, y2) = (-2, -7)

Putting these into the formula gives ...

  m = (-7 -(-19))/(-2 -1) = 12/-3 = -4

The slope is -4, not -1/4. Mark is incorrect.

A sociologist wishes to conduct a poll to estimate the percentage of Americans who favor affirmative action program for women and minorities for admission to colleges and universities. What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within a margin of error of 0.04, with 95% confidence, if she uses a 2003 estimate of 0.55 obtained from a Gallup Youth Survey

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 595 should be obtained.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

Estimate of 0.55

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.55[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within a margin of error of 0.04?

This is n for which M = 0.04. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 594.2[/tex]

Rounding up,

What percentage of 400=104 pls help me

Answers

Answer:

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of a number, I find it's often helpful to first write it as a fraction:  [tex]\frac{104}{400}[/tex] .

Percentages can be represented as a fraction by putting them over 100, eg. 25% is [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex]

.

Therefore, to get [tex]\frac{104}{400}[/tex] into a percentage, we need to change that 400 on the bottom to 100. How do we do that? Divide by four. However, anything we do to the bottom of a fraction, we must do to the top, so we divide both by four:

[tex]\frac{\frac{104}{4} }{\frac{400}{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{26}{100}[/tex]

As we saw earlier, if a fraction has 100 at the bottom, then the top of the fraction is the percentage. So 104 is 26% of 400.

Answers

Answer:

Both pools will have the same amount of water after 11 minutes and 32 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Team Sunshine is filling an inflatable kiddie pool from a garden hose, and the pool has 30 gallons in it and Team Sunshine is adding 8 gallons per minute with a garden hose, while next door, Team Breeze's pool is already filled with 180 gallons of water, and they are emptying the pool at 5 gallons per minute with buckets, to determine how long it will take until both pools have the same amount of water, the following calculation must be performed:

Team Sunshine:

30 + (8X) = T

30 + 8x10 = 110

30 + 8x11 = 118

30 + 8x12 = 126

30 + 8x11.5 = 122

30 + 8x11.6 = 122.8

30 + 8x11.55 = 122.4

30 + 8x11.54 = 122.3

Team Breeze:

180 - (5X) = T

180 - 5x11 = 125

180 - 5x12 = 120

180 - 5x11.5 = 122.5

180 - 5x11.6 = 122

180 - 5x11.55 = 122.25

180 - 5x11.54 = 122.3

1 = 60

0.54 = X

0.54 x 60 = X

32.4

Thus, both pools will have the same amount of water after 11 minutes and 32 seconds.

please please help me find the volume and surface area i’ll give brainliest

Answers

Answer:

Area: 272ft²

Volume = 82.6236447189ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA

The area of a square pyramid is found by combining the area of the base and the area of the triangular faces:

Area of base = area of square = L² = 8² = 16ft²

Area of one triangular face = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(8)(16) = 64ft²

There are four triangular faces so the total area = 16+4(64)= 16+256= 272 ft²

VOLUME

The volume of a square pyramid = (a²)(h/3), where a is the length of the base and h is the length from the top of the pyramid to the middle of the square.

We are given a, but not h. To find h, we must imagine a right-angled triangle within the pyramid, where 16ft is the hypotenuse, h is the height and the base is half of a (since the base is a square and the distance is from the edge to the middle). We can then use pythagorus's theorem to find h:

A²=B²+C²

16²=(8/2)²+h²

256=16+h²

h=√240

h=15.4919333848ft

Knowing h, we can find the volume:

Volume = (a²)(h/3)

Volume = (8²)(15.4919333848/3)

Volume = (16)(5.16397779493)

Volume = 82.6236447189ft³
