In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food. This has decreased
at an average rate of approximately 0.27% per year since then. Find a
linear function in slope-intercept form that models the percentage of total
spending, p(x), by the group x years after 1950.

Answers

Answer 1

The linear function that can be used to model this relationship is:

y = -0.27x + 23

A linear function is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let P(x) represent the percentage of total  spending x years after 1950.

Since In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food, hence b = 23.

Also, this has been decreasing at 0.27% per year. Hence m = -0.27.

The linear function that can be used to model this relationship is:

y = -0.27x + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Intensive care units (ICUs) generally treat the sickest patients in a hospital. ICUs are often the most expensive department in a hospital because of the specialized equipment and extensive training required to be an ICU doctor or nurse. Therefore, it is important to use ICUs as efficiently as possible in a hospital. According to a 2017 large-scale study of elderly ICU patients, the average length of stay in the ICU is 3.4 days (Critical Care Medicine journal article). Assume that this length of stay in the ICU has an exponential distribution. Do not round intermediate calculations.

a. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less (to 4 decimals)?

b. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days (to 4 decimals)?

c. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days (to 4 decimals)?

Answers

Using the exponential distribution, it is found that there is a:

a) 0.2548 = 25.48% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less.

b) 0.1415 = 14.15% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days.

c) 0.2298 = 22.98% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:  

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:  

[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In this problem, the mean is of 3.4 days, hence, the decay parameter is:

[tex]\mu = \frac{1}{3.4}[/tex]

Item a:

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = 1 - e^{-\frac{1}{3.4}} = 0.2548[/tex]

0.2548 = 25.48% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less.

Item b:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = 1 - e^{-\frac{2}{3.4}} = 0.4447[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-\frac{3}{3.4}} = 0.5862[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = 0.5862 - 0.4447 = 0.1415[/tex]

0.1415 = 14.15% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days.

Item c:

[tex]P(X > 5) = e^{-\frac{5}{3.4}} = 0.2298[/tex]

0.2298 = 22.98% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days.

According to the Community College Research Center at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York, 32% of community college students work full-time (full-time defined to be a person working 35 or more hours per week). Bryanna believes that this percentage may be higher among CBC students, so she decides to take a survey of CBC students to determine if her hypothesis is correct or not.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the CBC's students proportion is the same as all community college students, that is, of 32%, hence:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.32[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion for CBC's students is greater than 32%, that is:

Answers

Answer:

B.  0.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 2y)dy/dx = 2x - y

dy/dx = (2x -y)/(x + 2y)

Using implicit differentiation and the Quotient Rule:

d^2y/dx^2 =  (x + 2y)(2 - y*dy/dx) - ((2x - y)(1 + 2y*dy/dx)) / (x + 2y)^2

At the point (3, 0), dy/dx = (6-0)/(3 + 2(0)) = 2.

So substituting in d^2y/dx^2, we have:

(3 + 0)(2 - 0) - (6-0)(1 + 2(0))/  (3+0)^2

= (6 -  6) / 9

= 0.

$1689 invested for 4 years at 3% compounded annually ?

Answers

The amount gotten after $1689 invested for 4 years at 3% compounded annually is $1901

The amount of money gained after an investment is compounded is given by:

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

Where P is principal, A is the final amount, r is the rate, n is the number of times compounded per period and t is the time

Given that P = $1689, t = 4, r = 3% = 0.03, n = 1, hence:

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}\\\\A=1689(1+\frac{0.03}{1} )^{4*1}\\\\A=\$1901[/tex]

Kelly sells 62 shares of stock she owns for a total of $433. If the stock was in two different companies, one selling at $6.50 a share and the other at $7.25 a share, how many of each did she sell?

Answers

Answer:

s = 40 shares (# of 7.25 shares)

x = 22 shares (# of 6.50 shares)

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity Equation:: x + s = 62 shares

Value Equation::: 6.50x+7.25s = 433 dollars

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

Modify for elimination:

6.5x + 6.5s = 6.5*62

6.5x + 7.25s= 433

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

Subtract and solve for "s":

0.75s = 30

-----

s = 40 shares (# of 7.25 shares)

x = 22 shares (# of 6.50 shares)

Explain why the order in an ordered pair is important​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

An ordered pair is the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of a point. The order is important because, without a set order, there would be no way to know which was the x and which was the y.

The x-coordinate always comes first, before the y-coordinate.

(x, y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in an ordered pair is important because it indicates the location of the given point in a coordinate plane.  

In an ordered pair, (x, y):

The first number, (x ) represents the first coordinate. It provides the location of the point relative to the horizontal axis of the coordinate plane.The second number, (y ) represents the second coordinate. It provides the location of the point relative to the vertical axis of the coordinate plane.

We cannot switch the values of the first and second coordinates; otherwise, the ordered pair will provide a different location on the coordinate plane.

For instance, if we're given the point, (3, 2), this means that x = 3, and y = 2. This is not the same as (2, 3), as the coordinates imply that x = 2, and y = 3.  

Please see the attached screenshot where it shows how these two points have varying locations.
