The 2010 GSS provides the following statistics for the average years of education for lower-, working-, middle-, and upper-class respondents and their associated standard deviations. Assume that years of education are normally distributed in the population. Mean Standard Deviation N Lower-class 11.61 2.67 123 Working-class 12.80 2.85 697 Middle-class 14.45 3.08 626 Upper-class 15.45 2.98 38 How many years of education correspond to a Z score of +1.2 for upper-class respondents?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "18.087 years".

Step-by-step explanation:

For upper class:

[tex]\mu=15.45 \ years\\\\\alpha=2.98 \ years\\\\[/tex]

[tex]P(Z \leq 1.2)[/tex] from the standard normal distribution on the table:

[tex]P(Z \leq 1.2) =0.8849\\\\x=z_{\alpha}+\mu\\\\[/tex]

  [tex]=0.8849 \times 2.98 +15.45\\\\ = 2.637002+15.45 \\\\=18.087 \ \ years\\[/tex]

f(x)=6x^2+12x

Answers

Answer:

(-1, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

This a term in this function is not negative, which would make it be flipped over the x-axis. Therefore this function takes the typical parabola shape, and it will have a minimum point.

To find the x-value of the minimum use the formula -b / 2a.

-12 / 2(6) = -1

Then plug in the x-value and find the y-value for this function

f(-1) = 6(-1)^2 + 12(-1) = -6

Answers

Answer:

  graph Y

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function can be found by solving ...

  x = f(y)

  x = -3y +3

  x -3 = -3y . . . . . subtract 3; next, divide by -3

  y = -1/3x +1 . . . . . matches graph Y

_____

Additional comment

Writing the original equation in standard form can help you see its intercepts.

  3x +y = 3

  3x = 3   ⇒   x = 1 . . . . x-intercept (at y=0)

  y = 3   . . . . y-intercept (at x=0)

The inverse function has the x- and y-intercepts swapped, so you're looking for a line through (0, 1) and (3, 0). The lower left graph (Y) is that graph.

The cost (in dollars) of buying x pounds of a party product is given by the function

C(x) = 10x + 300.

Suppose, for budgetary reasons; you can't spend more than $2100 on this product. You can spend less, but you have to buy at least 50 pounds.

In this situation, what is the domain of this function?

Answers

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost (in dollars) of buying x pounds of a party product is given by the function

C(x) = 10x + 300.

Suppose, for budgetary reasons; you can't spend more than $2100 on this product. You can spend less, but you have to buy at least 50 pounds.

To get the domain of the function, substitute C(x) =2100 and find x

2100 = 10x + 300

10x = 2100 - 300

10x = 1800

x = 1800/10

x = 180

Hence the domain of the function is 180

Find the area of the region in two ways. a. Using integration with respect to x. b. Using geometry. 9-x

Answers

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

a)   [tex]\int\limits^3_0 {(10-x)-(x+4)} \, dx[/tex]     ( option D )

b) A =  1/2 (6)(3)   ( option B )

c) Area of shaded region = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Using integration with respect to x

Area =   [tex]\int\limits^7_4 {(y-4)} \, dy + \int\limits^a_7 {(10-y)} \, dy[/tex]         ( note a = 10 )

          = y^2/2 - 4y |⁷₄  + 10y - y^2/2 |¹⁰₇

          = 33/2 - 12 + 30 - 51/2   = 9

hence the best integral from the options attached is option D

[tex]\int\limits^3_0 {(10-x)-(x+4)} \, dx[/tex]

= [ 10x - x^2 /2 - x^2/2 - 9x ] ³₀

= 30 - 9/2 - 9/2 - 12  = 9

b) Using Geometry

Area = 1/2 * base * height

        = 1/2 * 6 * 3

        = 9

Answers

Answer:

Box dimensions:

x =  3.42 cm

y = 6.84 cm

C(min) = 14.04 $

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the surface area of the cube:

S(c)  =  2*S₁ ( surface area of top or base) +  4*S₂ ( surface lateral area)

S₁  = x²        2*S₁  = 2*x²

Surface lateral area is:

4*S₂  =  4*x*h                          V(c) =  80 cm³  =  x²*h          h  =  80/x²

4*S₂  = 4*80/x

4*S₂  = 320 / x

Costs

C (x)  =  0.2* 2*x²   +  0.1 * 320/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

C´(x)  =    0.8*x   -  32/x²

C´(x)  =  0            0.8*x - 32/x²  = 0

0.8*x³  -  32  =  0            x³  =  32/0.8

x³  =  40  

x =  3.42 cm

h =  80/(3.42)²          h  = 6.84 cm

To find out if x = 3.42 brings a minimum value for C we go to the second derivative

C´´(x) =  64/x³       is always positive for  x > 0  

The C(min) = 0.4*(3.42)²  +  32/(3.42)

C(min)  =  4.68 +  9.36

C(min)  = 14.04 $

The sum of -4 and the difference of 3 and 1

Answers

Answer: -2


Step 1: Write an equation

Before we are able to solve, we need to write an equation. We can do this by breaking down the equation. We are told to find the sum of -4 and the difference of another two numbers. Sum means addition, so we will add -4 to the difference of 3 and 1. Because we are adding to the difference, we will put 3 and 1 inside of parentheses, and find the difference before we add. Knowing this, we can write the equation. Let’s do this now.

-4+(3-1)

Step 2: Solve

Now that we have the equation we can solve for the answer. Let’s start by finding the difference, as indicated by the parentheses. After that, we can find the sum of that number and -4 by adding them together. We can do this now.

-4+(3-1)
-4+2
-2

This is your answer! The sum of -4 and the difference of 3 and 1 is -2. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3

Required

Solve for x and y

We have:

[tex]16x - 18 + 10x +3 = 180[/tex] --- angle on a straight line

Collect like terms

[tex]16x + 10x = 180 + 18 - 3[/tex]

[tex]26x = 195[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 195/26[/tex]

[tex]x = 7.5[/tex]

Also:

[tex]16x - 18 = 2y[/tex] ---- opposite angles

So, we have:

[tex]16 * 7.5 - 18 = 2y[/tex]

[tex]120 - 18 = 2y[/tex]

[tex]102 = 2y[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]51 = y[/tex]

[tex]y = 51[/tex]

We won't need to turn the denominator of 3/24 into 24 because it's already 24Whatever you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator, so you also have to multiply the numerator of 7/8 by 3 and the numerator of 1/6 by 4That now results in 21/8 + 2 3/24 + 6 4/24Now you have to add all the fractions together which is going to equal to 28/24Because 28/24 is more than the whole, subtract 28 from 24 which gives us 4. That 4 is now our new numeratorWe are now going to all the whole numbers 6+2+1=9. Incase you're wondering, the '1' came from the 28/24The answer you should get should be 9 4/24 or if it should be simplified it would be 9 1/6

Identify the transformation that occurs to create the graph of k(x).
k(x)=9f(x)

Answers

Answer:

To create the graph of k(x) , the graph of f(x)   undergoes  a vertical stretching  by a factor of 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

[tex]k(x)=9f(x)[/tex]

We have to Identify the transformation that occurs to create the graph of k(x).

To create the graph of k(x) we will multiply the function f(x) value by 9.

Let f(x) be any function

[tex]g(x)=a f(x)[/tex]

Where a>1

It means to obtain the graph  of g(x) the graph f(x)  has  undergone a vertical stretching  by a factor of a.

We have k=9>1

Therefore, to create the graph of k(x) , the graph of f(x) undergoes a vertical stretching  by a factor of 9.

An ordinary fair die is a cube with the numbers one through six on the sides represented by painted that. Imagine that such a die is rolled twice in succession and that the face values of the two goals are added together. This song is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment. Compute the probability of each of the following events. Event a: the sun is greater than six

Answers

Answer:

ok so what i think your trying to ask is if we roll two dice that the sum will be more then 6

Two dice

Assuming that the dice are unbiased or not " loaded".

Each side has the same probability, is 1/6 =0.16667, to turn up when rolled, if the die (D) is unbiased. The probability of a side turning up on D1 when 2 dice ( D1,D2) are rolled, is independent of the side turning up in D2. So this is an independent event.

How many ways can one get a sum total of 6 if D1 &D2 are rolled at the same time?

These are the possibilities

Case 1.

D1 =1 & D2=5

Or

D1= 5 & D2=1

Case 2.

D1 =2 & D2=4

Or

D1= 4 & D2= 2

Case 3. D1=3, D2=3

P3 =0.027778

Let's say, P 1 the probability for case 1 and P2 for case 2. There are no other cases.

The final probability P and is the sum total P = P1 + P2 + P3 the probability law of mutually exclusive events.

P1= 0.02778+ 0.02778 =0.055558

P2= 0.02778+0.02778 =0.055558

Same way,

P3=0.027778, when there is only one way to get the sum 6.

So, P = 0.138894

Based on truncating at the sixth decimal place.

A visual representation with two unbiased dice and the possible cases would also give the same result and is a short cut method. I like to derive from the basics.
