Answers

Answer 1

As per the sampling, an appropriate test value for a z test is 0.808

Sampling:

In math, sampling means selecting the group that you will actually collect data from in your research.

Given,

In October, the campus bookstore asked a random set of freshmen and seniors how much they had spent on textbooks that semester. the bookstore believes that the two groups spent the same amount.

Here we need to find the appropriate test value for a z test.

As per the given question, first we must know the definition of z test,

The term z-test means statistical test that can be used to determine whether two population means are different.

And it is used when the variances are known or the sample size is large.

And the formula of the z value, the test statistic for two population with large sample size is given by,

z = [x₂ - x₁] / √[(s₁²/n₁) + (s₂²/n₂)]

From the question we have, x1=$320, x2=$310, s1=$62, s2=$73, n1=60 and n2 = 60.

When we apply the value then we get the z value as

=> z = [310 - 320] / √[(62²/60) + (73²/60)]

=> 0.808

An agent is paid a commission of 2% on the total sales in a year and a bonus of 0.5% on the excess of sales over Rs. 9,00,000. Find how much he receives as commission if the bonus amounts is Rs. 1500.
Ans:Rs.24000​

Answers

To find the total sales on which the agent receives a commission, we can set up the following equation:

commission + bonus = 0.02 * total sales + 0.005 * (total sales - 9,00,000)

Since the bonus is given for the sales above Rs. 9,00,000, we can substitute the value of the bonus into the equation above:

1500 = 0.005 * (total sales - 9,00,000)

Solving this equation for total sales, we find that the total sales is Rs. 24,00,000.

The commission on this amount of sales is 0.02 * 24,00,000 = Rs. 4,800.

Therefore, the agent receives a total of Rs. 4,800 + Rs. 1,500 = Rs. 6,300 as commission.

Tom is buying a home for $144,000. He will make a 10% down payment and borrow the remaining balance for 30 years at 4.5%. His monthly mortgage payments will be $985.24. What total amount of interest will he pay over the 30 year loan?

PLEASE SHOW WORK

Answers

Answer:

Tom will pay a total of $58,064 in interest over the 30 year loan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purchase price of the home is $144,000, and Tom will make a down payment of 10%, or $144,000 * 10/100 = $14,400.

Therefore, Tom borrows $144,000 - $14,400 = $129,600.

Next, we need to calculate the total number of payments he will make over the 30 year loan. Since the loan is for 30 years and the payments are made monthly, there will be 30 years * 12 months/year = <<30*12=360>>360 payments.

Finally, we can use the mortgage formula to calculate the total amount of interest Tom will pay over the loan:

I = P * r * t

Where:

I is the total interest

P is the principal (the amount borrowed)

r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form)

t is the number of payments

Plugging in the values, we get:

I = $129,600 * 0.045 * 360 payments

= $58,064

The shadow of the moon during a solar eclipse travels 2300 miles in 1 hour in the first 20 minutes the shadow traveled 7662/3 miles how long does it take for the shadow to travel 1150 miles

Answers

The time that it will take for the shadow to travel 1150 miles is; 30 minutes

How to solve linear equations?

Let y represent the distance in miles    

Let x represent the time in minutes

The shadow travels 2300 miles in 1 hour or 60 minutes and in the first 20 minutes the shadow traveled 766 ²/₃ miles or 2300/3 miles

Thus, the coordinates are;

(60, 2300) and (20,  2300/3)

The slope is;

m = (2300 - 2300/3)/(60 - 20)

m = 115/3 mi/min

Thus, the linear equation in point slope form is;

y - 2300 = (115/3)(x - 60)

This gives;

y = (115/3)x

When y = 1150 miles, we have;

in a local election, votes were cast for mr. dyer, ms. frau, and mr. borak in the ratio of 4:3:2. if there were no other candidates and none of the 2,700 voters cast more than one vote, how many votes did mr. dyer receive?

Answers

To calculate the number of votes that Mr. Dyer received, we need to multiply the ratio with the total votes. Mr. Dyer received 1,080 votes.

Ratio of votes = 4:3:2

Total votes = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9

Total votes cast = 2,700

Mr. Dyer's votes = (4/9) x 2,700 = 1,080 votes

The ratio of votes cast for Mr. Dyer, Ms. Frau and Mr. Borak was 4:3:2 respectively. This means that for every 9 votes cast, 4 votes were for Mr. Dyer, 3 votes were for Ms. Frau and 2 votes were for Mr. Borak. Since none of the 2,700 voters cast more than one vote, the total votes cast for each candidate would be 2,700. To calculate the number of votes that Mr. Dyer received, we need to multiply the ratio with the total votes. Therefore, Mr. Dyer received 1,080 votes (4/9 x 2,700).

If the cost function for a commodity is C(x) =1/90x3 + 8x2 + 8x + 18 dollars find the marginal cost MC at x = 9 units. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
MC = $?
b.) Tell what the marginal cost predicts about the cost of producing 1 additional unit.The cost of producing 1 additional unit is $
c.) Tell what the marginal cost predicts about the cost of producing 2 additional units.The cost of producing 2 additional units is $

Answers

a) The marginal cost MC at  x=9 units is $154.70.

b) The cost of producing 1 additional unit is $154.70.

c) The cost of producing 2 additional units is $309.40.

The Marginal Cost quantifies the incremental cost incurred from the production of each additional unit of a good or service. The marginal cost of production captures the additional cost of producing one more unit of a good/service.

The analysis of the marginal cost helps determine the “optimal” production quantity, where the cost of producing an additional unit is at its lowest point. The marginal cost of production must be lower than the price per unit for a company to be profitable – thus, the marginal cost pinpoints the output volume and pricing where incremental costs are reduced.

a) Marginal Cost = (Change in Costs) ÷ (Change in Quantity)

C(x) = 1/90[tex]x^{3}[/tex] + 8[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 8[tex]x[/tex] +18

MC = dC/dx

MC = d( 1/90[tex]x^{3}[/tex] + 8[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 8[tex]x[/tex] +18) / dx

      = 1/90 (3x²) + 8 (2x) + 8

      = 1/30x² + 16x + 8

At x = 9 units, we get

MC(x=9) = 1/30 (9²) + 16 (9) + 8

              = 154.7

Rounding off to two decimal places, we get 154.70.

Thus, the marginal cost MC at  x=9 units is $154.70.

b) Marginal Cost = (Change in Costs) ÷ (Change in Quantity)

154.70 = Change in costs/ 1

Change in costs = 154.70

So, the cost of producing 1 additional unit is $154.70.

c) Marginal Cost = (Change in Costs) ÷ (Change in Quantity)

154.70 = Change in costs/ 2

Change is costs = 309.40

So, the cost of producing 2 additional units is $309.40.

Answers

Therefore, there are 480 different ways to arrange individuals in a row so that no two engineers sit together.

What is combination?

An alternative name for a combo is a choice. A combination is a choice made from a predetermined group of options. I won't organize anything here. They will be my choice. The number of distinct r selections or combinations from a set of n objects is indicated by the symbol [tex]^nC_{r}[/tex].

There are eight participants in the focus group, including three software engineers, two nurses, one doctor, and two technicians.

So the 3 software engineers =3! ways, 2 nurses =2! ways,

doctor =1! way , 2 technicians =2! ways.

We must determine how many different configurations are possible so that no two pieces of software may coexist.

In order to prevent two software engineers from being seated next to each other, we first arrange five persons in a row with a space between them.

[tex]We get that in 6 places they can sit in ^6C_{3} ways\\ xi.e ^6C_3 = 20 (by formula of combination)\\ Therefore total ways are,6 X 2 X 1 X2 X 20 = 480.[/tex]

Therefore, there are 480 different ways to arrange individuals in a row so that no two engineers sit together.

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the total time required to finish building the transmission if Jose and Luis works together be = A

Now , the equation will be

The time required by Jose to build a transmission = 10 hours

The time required by Luis to build a transmission = 8 hours

If it takes one person 10 hours to build a transmission and another person 8 hours to build the same transmission , working together they could build the transmission even quicker

So ,

If Jose builds the transmission is 10 hours , he builds 1/10th of the transmission in one hour

If Luis builds the transmission in 8 hours , he builds 1/8th of the transmission in one hour

And ,

Together they build the transmission in

1/A = 1/10 + 1/8

where A is the total time required to finish building the transmission if Jose and Luis works together

So , the equation is

1/A = 1/10 + 1/8

1/A = 18/80

Taking reciprocals on both sides of the equation , we get

A = 80/18

A = 40/9

On simplifying the equation , we get

A = 4.44 hours

Therefore , the value of A is 4.44 hours

Hence , The total time taken to finish building the transmission if Jose and Luis worked together is 4.44 hours
