There are two ways to interpret the problem.
1) One is that a heart circulates 84ml of blood per second, although this makes the information of the beats per minute unnecessary.
In that case, an average heart would circulate 6300 ml of blood as shown in the next expression:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6300=84t \\ \Rightarrow t=\frac{6300}{84} \end{gathered}[/tex]Where t is the time expressed in seconds
2) A second approach, and the one that makes better sense, is that each beat of the heart pumps 84ml per beat. Then, the expression that gives us the time needed to reach 6300ml of blood is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{84ml}{\text{beat}},\frac{72beats}{\min } \\ \Rightarrow84\cdot\frac{72ml}{\min}=\frac{6048ml}{\min } \end{gathered}[/tex]In that case, the equation that expresses the time needed by the heart to bump 6300ml of blood is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6300=6048\cdot t \\ \Rightarrow t=\frac{6300}{6048} \end{gathered}[/tex]With t being the time given in minutes
is it true that all whole numbers are rational numbers ? why or why not
all whole numbers are rational numbers

In a linear relationship, each step of x modifies the y value in the same way.
In the first table, when x = 1, y = 3 and when x = 2, y = 6. This is an increment of 3. If this is a linear relationship, we expect the next value of y to be the previous value plus 3, thus y = 9. But in the table shows x =3 and y = 12. We can rule out the first table.
With similar reasoning, in the second table, we see (1, 2) and (2, 5). This is an increase of the y value of 3. We expect the next value to be y = 8, but we see (3, 9). The second table is not a linear relationship.
In the third table, we see (1, -3) and (2, -5). This is a decrease of -2. We expect the next value of y to be y = -7, and we do see (3, -7). The next value should be y = -9, and the table shows (4, -9). Table 3 shows a linear relationship.
To be sure, let's see the 4th table. We see (1, -2) and (2, -4). This is a decrease of -2. The expected next value is y = -6, but the next point is (3, -2). Fourth table is not a linear relationship.
Thus, the correct answer is the top-right table.
In which quadrant does 0 lie if the following statements are true:sin 0 > 0 and sec 0 < 0Quadrant IQuadrant IIQuadrant IIIQuadrant IV
Given the conditions in the question:
1. sin θ > 0, therefore, it must be positive. From that, we can conclude that y must be on the positive side, therefore, located at the top of the coordinate plane.
2. sec θ < 0, therefore, it must be negative. From that, we can conclude that x must be on the negative side, therefore, located at the left side of the coordinate plane.
Therefore, the quadrant that the θ belongs to is in the top and left of the coordinate plane and that is Quadrant II.

Answer:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a)\text{ }\frac{5}{18} \\ \\ b)\text{ }\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Explanation:
Here, we want to compute some probabilities
The first thing to do is to get the count of results in our sample space
In the sample space, the total possible results is 36
Now, let us get the probabilities
a) The event that the sum is greater than 8
We have to count possible results greater than 8 here
3, 6 (3 on the first die, 6 on the second)
6,3 (6 on the first die, 3 on the second)
6,4 (6 on the first die, 4 on the second)
4,6
4,5
5,4
5,5
5,6
6,5
6,6
The number of possible results greater than 8 is 10
Thus, we have the probability as the count of this divided by the total number of possible results
Mathematically, we have that as:
[tex]\frac{10}{36}\text{ = }\frac{5}{18}[/tex]b) The sum is an odd number
For the sum to be an odd number, we know that if we add a table of 6 rows for all the sums, the even sum on each line is 3
The total even sum is 6 * 3 = 18
The probability is thus:

Last year, Bob had $10,000 to invest. He invested some of it in an account that paid 10% simple interest per year, and he invested the rest in an account that paid 8% simple interest per year. After one year, he received a total of $820 in interest. How much did he invest in each account?
Given:
The total amount is P = $10,000.
The rate of interest is r(1) = 10% 0.10.
The other rate of interest is r(2) = 8%=0.08.
The number of years for both accounts is n = 1 year.
The total interest earned is A = $820.
The objective is to find the amount invested in each account.
Explanation:
Consider the amount invested for r(1) as P(1), and the interest earned as A(1).
The equation for the amount obtained for r(1) can be calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_1=P_1\times n\times r_1 \\ A_1=P_1\times1\times0.1 \\ A_1=0.1P_1\text{ . . . . .(1)} \end{gathered}[/tex]Consider the amount invested for r(2) as P(2), and the interest earned as A(2).
The equation for the amount obtained for r(2) can be calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_2=P_2\times n\times r_2 \\ A_2=P_2\times1\times0.08 \\ A_2=0.08P_2\text{ . . . . . (2)} \end{gathered}[/tex]Since, it is given that the total interest earned is A=$820. Then, it can be represented as,
[tex]A=A_1+A_2\text{ . . . . . (3)}[/tex]On plugging the obtained values in equation (3),
[tex]820=0.1P_1+0.08P_2\text{ . . . . .(4)}[/tex]Also, it is given that the total amount is P = $10,000. Then, it can be represented as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=P_1+P_2 \\ 10000=P_1+P_2 \\ P_1=10000-P_2\text{ . }\ldots\ldots.\text{. .(3)} \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute the equation (3) in equation (4).

Explanation: Axis of symmetry is a vertical line that makes function symmetrical along either side:
In case of parabla function or:
[tex]y(x)=3x^2-6x+8[/tex]We get axial symmetry where the first derivate is zero, and in fact, that is the x value for vertex:
Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f^{\prime}(x)=(3x^2-6x+8)^{\prime}=6x-6=0 \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ x=\frac{6}{6}=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]And the corresponding y-value is:

[tex]P(1,5)[/tex]The Lyon Restaurant Survey provides food, decor, and service ratings for some of the top restaurants across the United States. For 186 restaurants located in Boston, the average price of a dinner, including one drink and tip, was 48.60 Dollars. You are leaving on a business trip to Boston and will eat dinner 23 of these restaurants, randomly selected. Your company will reimburse you for a maximum of 50 dollars per dinner. Business associates familiar with these restaurants have told you that the meal cost at one-third of these restaurants will exceed 50 dollars.
a. What is the probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
b. What is the probability that at most 12 of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company? What is the probability that between 4 and 8 of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
c. Calculate the expected number of restaurants that will exceed the cost covered by your company.
d. Calculate the probability of the first question by using the binomial distribution approximation. Therefore, in this case we will consider the possibility of repetition in the randomly selected restaurants. Define p=r/N as the success probability.N is the size of the population. r is the number of elements considered as successes in the population.
e. Calculate the probability of the second question by using the binomial disribution approximation.
f. Calculate the probability of the third question by using the binomial disribution approximation.
g. Calculate the expected number of the fourth question by using the binomial disribution aproximation
Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:
a. None: 0%.
b.
At most 12: 0.9814 = 98.14%.Between 4 and 8: 0.6249 = 62.49%.c. The expected number of restaurants that will exceed the cost covered by your company is of 7.67.
Using the normal approximation, the probabilities are:
a. None: 0.0008 = 0.08%.
b.
At most 12: 98.38 = 98.38%.Between 4 and 8: 0.6121 = 61.21%.The difference in these probabilities is due to the small sample size.
Binomial distributionThe formula for the probability of x successes is:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In which the parameters are given by:
n is the number of trials of the experiment.p is the probability of a success on a single trial of the experiment.Considering that you will eat dinner at 23 restaurants, and at around one-third of them the meal cost will exceed 50 dollars, the values of these parameters are given as follows:
n = 23, p = 1/3 = 0.3333.
The probability that none will exceed is P(X = 0), hence:
P(X = 0) = (1 - 0.3333)^23 = 0% (rounded).
The probability of at most 12 is:
P(X <= 12) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + ... + P(X = 12).
Using a binomial distribution calculator with the given parameters, the probability is:
P(X <= 12) = 0.9814 = 98.14%.
The probability that between 4 and 8 dinners are paid is:
P(4 <= X <= 8) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)
Using a calculator, or the mass function P(X = x) and adding each probability, the desired probability is:
P(4 <= X <= 8) = 0.0493 + 0.0937 + 0.1405 + 0.1707 + 0.1707 = 0.6249 = 62.49%.
Normal approximationThe first step for the normal approximation is finding the mean and the standard deviation, as follows:
Mean = expected number: [tex]\mu = np = 23 \times 0.3333 = 7.67[/tex]Standard deviation: [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p) = \sqrt{23 \times 0.3333 \times 0.6667} = 2.26[/tex]The probability of none, using continuity correction, is P(X < 0.5), which is the p-value of Z when X = 0.5, hence:
(the p-value of Z is found using the z-score table).
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex] (z-score formula)
Z = (0.5 - 7.67)/2.26
Z = -3.17
Z = -3.17 has a p-value of 0.0008.
Hence the probability is 0.0008 = 0.08%.
The probability of at most 12 is P(X <= 12.5), using continuity correction, which is the p-value of Z when X = 12.5, hence:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Z = (12.5 - 7.67)/2.26
Z = 2.14
Z = 2.14 has a p-value of 0.9838.
Hence the probability is of 98.38 = 98.38%.
The probability of between 4 and 8 dinners being paid is P(3.5 <= X <= 8.5), which is the p-value of Z when X = 8.5 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 3.5, hence:
X = 8.5:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Z = (8.5 - 7.67)/2.26
Z = 0.37
Z = 0.37 has a p-value of 0.6443.
X = 3.5:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Z = (3.5 - 7.67)/2.26
Z = -1.85
Z = -1.85 has a p-value of 0.0322.
Hence the probability is:
0.6443 - 0.0322 = 0.6121 = 61.21%.

Based on the given table, consider that the value in the column frequency specifies the number of times that a certain score (first column) is repeated in a given data.
In this case, the value of the frequency for a specific score determines the number of students with such a score in their tests.
As you can notice, for the value of the frequency equal to 3, the corresponding value of the score is 5. It means that 3 student get 5 scores in their tests.
Hi, can you help me answer this question please, thank you!
Let x be a random variable representing the blood pressures of adults in the USA. Since it is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for determining z score which is expressed as
z = (mean - population mean)/standard deviation
From the information given,
population mean = 121
Standard deviation = 16
For stage 2 high blood pressure, the probability is
P(x greater than or equal to 160). It is also equal to 1 - P(x < 160)
Thus, for x = 160, we have
z = (160 - 121)/16 = 2.4375
From the standard normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to a z score of 2.4375 is 0.9927
P(x < 160) = 0.9927
P(x greater than or equal to 160) = 1 - 0.9927 = 0.0073
Converting to percentage, it is 0.0073 * 100 = 0.73%
b) If 2000 peaople were sampled, the number of people with stage 2 high blood pressure would be
0.73/100 * 2000 14.6
To the nearest person, it is 15 people
c) For stage 1, the probability is
P(140 < x < 160)
For x = 140,
z = (140 - 121)/16 = 1.1875
From the standard normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to a z score of 1.1875 is 0.883
Recall, for x = 160, the probaility is 0.9927
Thus,
P(140 < x < 160) = 0.9927 - 0.883 = 0.1097
Converting to percentage, it is
0.1097 * 100 = 10.97%
d) The 30th percentile refers to all values of blood pressure below k, where k is the 30th percentile. This means that we would find
P(x < k) = 0.3
The z score corresponding to a probability value of 0.3 is - 0.52
Thus,
(k - 121)/16 = - 0.52
k - 121 = - 0.52 * 16 = - 8.32
k = - 8.32 + 121
k = 112.68
The pressure for the 30th percentile is 112.68
