Problem 1

The price for one super skateboard is £75.00 which is found in cell C8. When it comes to excel spreadsheets, we always read across the top first before reading the left hand side. So the format is columnRow which may seem strange if you're used to reading the row first.

Right next to cell C8 is D8 and that's the number of super skateboards sold (26 of them). Multiply the unit price by the number of units sold to get the revenue for this particular type of item.

75*26 = 1950

Now the question is: what if the company sells more than 26 skateboards? Let's say there was an error and 30 boards were sold. To quickly recompute the correct answer, we can rely on references rather than hardcoded values.

Typing out [tex]=C8*D8[/tex] will compute the multiplication of items C8 and D8. The equal sign out front is very important. It tells the spreadsheet program that you want to do this type of operation (rather than just write out plain text). If you were to simply type in C8*D8 without the equal sign, then the result is exactly C8*D8 without filling in the variables.

Answer is     =C8*D8

Don't forget about the equal sign out front

===========================================================

Problem 2

Like before, we'll have an equal sign as the first thing we type in. Then we'll type in Sum(E5:E14) to sum of the values from E5 to E14. You could type in Sum(E5,E6,E7,E8,E9,E10,E11,E12,E13,E14) or you could type in E5+E6+E7+E8+E9+E10+E11+E12+E13+E14; however, that would be a tedious approach prone to error. The spreadsheet program interprets the colon as a way to fill in the gap from start to end. We start at E5 and end at E14, and add up everything in between.

Note that all the cells referenced are the various revenues for each type of item. Each of these cells is computed by multiplying the C and D column items.

Answer is    =Sum(E5:E14)

Don't forget about the equal sign out front

===========================================================

Problem 3

There are a few other alternatives, but your teacher might be talking about adding each item one at a time. Refer to problem 2 for more info.

Answer is    =Sum(E5,E6,E7,E8,E9,E10,E11,E12,E13,E14)

Or

Answer is   =E5+E6+E7+E8+E9+E10+E11+E12+E13+E14

Don't forget about the equal sign out front

===========================================================

Problem 4

Answer:  96 pounds

Explanation: Simply pick out the smallest item. The excel command is "min" and you provide it a list of values to pick from. In this case, that list being E5:E14 to represent E5,E6,...,E13,E14. So you'll type in =Min(E5:E14) similar to what you did for the "sum" command.

===========================================================

Problem 5

Answer:  1950 pounds

Explanation: As you can probably guess, the "max" function is used here. It picks out the largest value of a list. The command is =Max(E5:E14)

===========================================================

Below I've attached two images. Figure 1 shows the commands to type in, while figure 2 shows the result of each command. In other words, it's the before and after. I used LibreOffice spreadsheet, but this applies to any spreadsheet program as they all tend to follow the same idea.

Let represent the number of typographical errors made per page typed by a receptionist during a particular day at the office. The following table lists the probability distribution of .
= 0 1 *** 4 5 ( = ) * ** 0.40 0.13 0.02
Assuming that * = 2 (**) and E(X) = 12.77
(a) Find the values of ‘*’, ‘**’, and ‘***’.
(b) Determine P(1 ≤ < 4).

Answers

Using the principle of expected value and discrete probability distribution, the missing values are :

* = 0.30** = 0.15*** = 30P(1 ≤ Y ≤ 4) = 0.28

The Expected value, E(X) is defined thus :

E(X) = Σ[(X) × (P(X)]

The cummulative sum of the probability is 1 :

(* + ** + 0.40 + 0.13 + 0.02) = 1 - - - (1)* = 2(**)

Hence, we have ;

2** + ** + 0.40 + 0.13 + 0.02 = 1

3** + 0.55 = 1

3** = 1 - 0.55

3** = 0.45

** = 0.45 / 3

** = 0.15

Hence,

* = 2(0.15)

* = 0.30

To find *** :

E(X) = (0 × 0.30) + (1 × 0.15) + (*** × 0.40) + (4 × 0.13) + (5 × 0.02)

12.77 = 0 + 0.15 + 0.40*** + 0.52 + 0.10

12.77 = 0.77 + 0.40***

12.77 - 0.77 = 0.40***

12.00 = 0.40***

*** = 12.00/0.40

*** = 30

B.)

P(1 ≤ Y ≤ 4) = P(y = 1) + P(y = 4)

P(1 ≤ Y ≤ 4) = 0.15 + 0.13 = 0.28

Answer:

AB = 23.6

BC = 18.5

CD = 23.6

DA = 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4.

Both sets of opposite sides are parallel, so this is a parallelogram.

In parallelogram ABCD:

AB≅CD

AD≅BC

Knowing that, you can write 2 equations with the given information:

[tex]2a-20.4=a+1.6\\a-3.5=18.5[/tex]

You can solve whichever one you want, but I'll do both to be sure.

[tex]2a-20.4=a+1.6\\2a=a+1.6+20.4\\2a-a=1.6+20.4\\a=22[/tex]

Now for the second one:

[tex]a-3.5=18.5\\a=18.5+3.5\\a=22[/tex]

a = 22, so now you can solve for the side lengths.

[tex]2(22)-20.4=23.6\\22-3.5=18.5\\22+1.6=23.6\\18.5=18.5[/tex]

5 numbers have a mean of 4, a range of 6, mode of 2 and a median of 3. What could the numbers be? Is this the only answer?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

x1, x2, x3, x4, x5

(x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5)/5 = 4

x5 - x1 = 6

x3 = 3

2 appears more often than any other number (at least twice), otherwise there would have been multiple modes.

x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 4×5 = 20

x3 = 3

x1 + x2 + 3 + x4 + x5 = 20

x1 + x2 + x4 + x5 = 17

x5 = x1 + 6

x1 + x2 + x4 + x1 + 6 = 17

2×x1 + x2 + x4 = 11

since we did not have the number 2 yet (and we made x5 the harvest number, which has to be larger than 2), and it has to appear at least twice.

so, two numbers out of x1, x2, x3 must be 2. not all three of them can be 2, because 2×2 + 2 + 2 = 8 and not 11 as the last equation demands.

we have therefore 2 different solutions, as either

x1 and x2, or x2 and x4 can be 2.

x1 and x4 is the same solution per the last equation as x1 and x2 (as the variables are interchangeable for the number assignment, only x1 is different, because it has an additional factor in the last equation).

solution 1 (x1 and x2 are 2) :

2×2 + 2 + x4 = 11

4 + 2 + x4 = 11

6 + x4 = 11

x4 = 5

so,

x1 = 2,

x2 = 2,

x3 = 3

x4 = 5

x5 = x1 + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8

solution 2 (x2 and x4 are 2) :

2×x1 + 2 + 2 = 11

2×x1 + 4 = 11

2×x1 = 7

x1 = 7/2

so,

x1 = 7/2

x2 = 2

x3 = 3

x4 = 2

x5 = x1 + 6 = 7/2 + 12/2 = 19/2

Answer:

My man Zachary is right!

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule is so very simple!

Whenever a negative, anywhere in the equation multiples to another negative, it is always a positive!

Whenever a positive number multiples to a negative number anywhere in the equation, it is always a negative number!

So Negative*Negative is Positive (-10 x -10 = 100)

And Positive*Negative is always negative (-10 x 10 = -100)

And we both know that Positive times positive is positive. (10 x 10 = 100)

City planners are planning to build a new community pool. They agree that the pool will be rectangular in shape, but the proposed dimensions changed. At the most recent meeting, it was determined that the width would remain at 11.6 meters but that the length would increase by 3.7 meters. So, the pool would now cover an area of 205.85 square meters.
Which equation can be used to determine the original length of the pool, l?


205.85=2(l+15.3)

205.85=11.6(l+3.7)

205.85=3.7(l+11.6)

Answers

The equation that can be used to determine the original length of the pool is 205.85 = 11.6(l + 3.7)

Let l be the original length of the pool.

Since the length of the pool is increased by 3.7 m, the new length L = l + 3.7.

Also, the area of the pool A = 205.85 square meter and it is a rectangle with width, W = 11.6 meters,

So, A = LW

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

A = LW

205.85 = (l + 3.7)11.6

So, the equation that can be used to determine the original length of the pool is 205.85 = 11.6(l + 3.7)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3r = 4s \\ r \div s = 4 \div 3 \\ \\ \\ \\ hope \: it \: helps.[/tex]

In the given question if if 3r = 4s, This means that r is four times greater than s.

The given equation is 3r = 4s. To find the value of r/s, we can divide both sides of the equation by s. Dividing both sides of the equation by s, we get: (3r) / s = (4s) / s On the right side, the s cancels out, leaving us with: (3r) / s = 4 So, the value of r/s is 4.

An equation is a mathematical statement that states that two expressions are equal. It contains an equal sign "=" and consists of two sides: the left-hand side (LHS) and the right-hand side (RHS).

In this case, r/s represents the ratio of r to s. It indicates how many times r is greater than s. For example, if r = 8 and s = 2, then r/s = 8/2 = 4. This means that r is four times greater than s.
