In a given year, the population of Metro City is 7420, and the population is decreasing by 152 people per year. The population of Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City. Determine how long it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282.


Which answer provides the correct equation and solution for the situation, where x represents the number of years?


A. The equation is 2282=2(7420−152x)+1200. It will take 45.26 years for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

B. The equation is 2282=2(7420−152x)+1200. It will take 45.26 months for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

C.The equation is 2282=12(7420−152x)−1200. It will take 3 months for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

D. The equation is 2282=12(7420−152x)−1200. It will take 3 years for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the years.

The information provided is:

The population of Metro City is 7420.The population is decreasing by 152 people per year.The population of Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City.

From the provided data derive the equation for the population of Smallville x years after as follows:

[tex]Y = [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200[/tex]

The population of Smallville is 2282 after x years.

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]2282= [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200[/tex]

[tex]\frac{7420-152x}{2}=2282+1200\\\\7420-152x=3482\times 2\\\\152x=7420-6964\\\\152x=456\\\\x=3[/tex]

Thus, the time it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282 is 3 years.

The correct option is D.

7. During the Middle Ages, people often used grains, scruples, and drahms to measure the weights of different medicines. If 120 grains are equivalent to 6 scruples and 6 scruples are equivalent to 2 drahms,

how many drahms are equivalent to 300 grains? Explain your reasoning. If you get stuck, try creating a table.


Answers

Answer:

5 drahms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

120 grains = 6 scruples

6 scruples = 2 drahms

300 grains (in drahms) =..?

From the above data,

120 grains = 6 scruples

6 scruples = 2 drahms

Therefore,

120 grains = 2 drahms

Thus, we can obtain 300 grains in drahms as follow:

120 grains = 2 drahms

Therefore,

300 grains = 300 grains × 2 drahms /120 grains

300 grains = (300 × 2)/120 drahms

300 grains = 5 drahms

Therefore, 300 grains is equivalent to 5 drahms.

interior angles are angles that are in between the parallel lines and when they are on the same side it means that they are on the same side of the transversal

interior angles are angles that are in between the parallel lines and when they are on different sides it means that they are on opposite sides of a transversal, this is called alternate interior angles

You deposited a check for $1,200 into your checking account that had a balance of $625 and it "bounced". You had written checks for $450, $225, $215, and $187. Your bank will pay the largest check that you wrote first. Your account is overdrawn, and the remaining checks written to pay monthly bills did not clear. Your bank charged you a $35 overdraft fee and each of the remaining creditors receiving bounced checks charged you a $25 late payment fee. What did the $1,200 check that "bounced" on you cost you?

Answers

Answer:

total cost = $110

Step-by-step explanation:

Your bank will charge you $35 as overdraft fee.

The bank will only pay one check for $450, so that means that 3 more checks will remained unpaid. Since your creditors charge you $25 per bounced check, then they will charge you 3 x $25 = $75.

Total costs = $35 + $75 = $110

Jenny ran 5 more miles this week than she ran last week. Let t be the number of miles she ran last week. Write an expression that tells how many miles she ran this week.

Answers

Answer:

t+5+x

Step-by-step explanation:

It says Jenny ran 5 more miles than last week so you find the number from last week then add 5. X is the miles she ran this week

Answer:

t + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, you have to recognize what the information is telling you in terms of the vocabulary used. For example, the first sentence tells us that she ran 5 more miles than last week. This is key because it lets us know that our expression will have an addition sign.

Once you recognize that the problem is telling you to add 5 to her previous distance, you get a final expression of t + 5. Hope this helps!

The Weibull distribution is widely used in statistical problems relating to aging of solid insulating materials subjected to aging and stress. Use this distribution as a model for time (in hours) to failure of solid insulating specimens subjected to AC voltage. The values of the parameters depend on the voltage and temperature; suppose α = 2.6 and β = 220. (a) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is at most 250? Less than 250? More than 300? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) at most 250 less than 250 more than 300 (b) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is between 100 and 250? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) What value is such that exactly 50% of all specimens

Answers

Answer:

a

  P(X \le 250 ) =  0.7564 [/tex]  ,  [tex]P(X <  250 )  =  0.7564 [/tex]   ,

    [tex]P(X <  300 )  =  0.09922 [/tex]

b

[tex]P(100 <  X  < 250 ) =0.644 [/tex]

c

 [tex]   x  = 192.1   [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The value for [tex]\alpha  =  2.6[/tex]

    The value for [tex]\beta = 220[/tex]

Generally the  Weibull distribution function is mathematically represented as

      [tex]F( x , \alpha ,  \beta ) =  \left \{  0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  x < 0} \atop { 1- e^{-(\frac{x}{\beta } )^{\alpha } }}\ \ \ \ \ \ x \ge 0} \right[/tex]

Generally the probability that a specimen's lifetime is at most 250 is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(X \le  250 ) =  F(250, 2.7 , 220 )[/tex]

      [tex]P(X \le 250 )=1 - e^{- (\frac{250}{220} )^{2.7}}[/tex]

      [tex]P(X \le 250 ) =  1 - 0.2436[/tex]

      [tex]P(X \le 250 ) =  0.7564 [/tex]

Generally the probability that a specimen's lifetime is less than 250

      [tex]P(X <  250 ) =  F(250, 2.7 , 220 )[/tex]

      [texP(X <  250 ) =1 - e^{- (\frac{250}{220} )^{2.7}}[/tex]

      [tex]P(X <  250 )  =  1 - 0.2436[/tex]

      [tex]P(X <  250 )  =  0.7564 [/tex]    

Generally the probability that a specimen's lifetime is more than 300

     [tex]P(X >  300 ) = 1- p(X \le 300 )[/tex]

      [tex]P(X >  300 ) = 1-  F(300, 2.7 , 220 )[/tex]

      [texP(X <  300) =1- [1 - e^{- (\frac{300}{220} )^{2.7}}][/tex]

      [tex]P(X <  300 )  =  0.09922 [/tex]

Generally the probability that a specimen's lifetime is between 100 and 250 is

     [tex]P(100 <  X  < 250 ) =  P(X < 250) - P(X < 100)[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(100 <  X  < 250 ) =F(250 , 2.7 , 220 ) - F(100 , 2.7 , 220 ) [/tex]

=>  [tex]P(100 <  X  < 250 ) =(1 - e^{-(\frac{250}{220})^{2.7}}) - (1 - e^{-(\frac{100}{220})^{2.7}}) [/tex]

=>  [tex]P(100 <  X  < 250 ) = (1 - 0.244 ) - (1- 0.888)[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(100 <  X  < 250 ) =0.644 [/tex]

Generally the value  such that exactly 50% of all specimens

    [tex]P(X > x) = 1-P(X <  x) = 0.50[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(X > x) = 1- (1 - e^{- (\frac{x}{220}) ^{2.7}}) = 0.50[/tex]

=>  [tex] P(X> x ) = e^(- \frac{x}{20})^{2.7}  = 0.50 [/tex]

=>  [tex] P(X> x ) = (- \frac{x}{20})^{2.7}  = ln0.50 [/tex]

=>   [tex] P(X> x ) =  \frac{x}{20}  =[ -ln0.50 ] ^{frac{1}{2.7}}[/tex]

=>   [tex]   x  = 220[ -ln0.50 ] ^{frac{1}{2.7}}[/tex]

=>   [tex]   x  = 192.1   [/tex]
