Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Upper limit = 7.39

Lower limit = 6.37

Margin of error = 0.51

B)Sample size = 87

C) Upper limit = 2218.50

Lower limit = 1909.50

Margin of error = 154.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

x¯ = $6.88 per 100 pounds

σ = $1.98 per 100 pounds

n = 45

A) We want to find a 90% Confidence interval. It means the significance level is; 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

Critical z-value for significance level of 0.1 is z = 1.645

Now, margin of error is;

MOE = zσ/√n

MOE = (1.645 × 1.98)/√40

MOE ≈ 0.51

Confidence interval is;

CI = x¯ ± MOE

CI = 6.88 ± 0.51

CI = ((6.88 + 0.51), (6.88 - 0.51))

CI = (7.39, 6.37)

Upper limit = 7.39

Lower limit = 6.37

B) We are given E = 0.35

Thus;

E = zσ/√n

Rearranging, we have;

n = (zσ/E)²

n = (1.645 × 1.98/0.35)²

n ≈ 87

Sample size = 87

C)We are told that the farm brings 15 tons of watermelon to market.

Also, 1 ton = 2000 pounds

Thus;

15 tons = 15 × 2000 pounds = 30000 pounds

Now this is per 100 pounds.

Thus, we can write as: 30000/100 = 300 pounds

So;

x¯ = 300 × 6.88

x¯ = 2064

σ = 1.98 × 300

σ = 594

Critical z-value for significance level of 0.1 is z = 1.645

Now, margin of error is;

MOE = zσ/√n

MOE = (1.645 × 594)/√40

MOE ≈ 154.50

Confidence interval is;

CI = x¯ ± MOE

CI = 2064 ± 154.50

CI = (2064 + 154.50, 2064 - 154.50)

CI = (2218.5, 1909.5)

Upper limit = 2218.50

Lower limit = 1909.50

Complete Question

The lions and the tigers played a football game. The Lions scored three more than three times the number of points the Tigers scored. The total number of points scored by both teams is 31. How many points were scored by each team?

Answer:

The number of points scored by the Lions = 24

The number of points scored by the Tigers = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points scored by the lion = l

The number of points scored by the tiger = t

The Lions scored three more than three times the number of points the Tigers scored.

l = 3 + 3(t)

The total number of points scored by both teams is 31.

= l + t = 31

3 + 3t + t = 31

4t = 31 - 3

4t = 28

t = 28/4

t = 7 points

Note:

l + t = 31

I = 31 - t

l = 31 - 7

l = 24 points

The number of points scored by the Lions = 24

The number of points scored by the Tigers = 7

A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies. If there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct. What is the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim? Use a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of green candies.

The probability of green candies is, p = 0.20.

Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.

So, n = 30 candies are randomly selected.

All the candies are independent of each other.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameter n = 30 and p = 0.20.

It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.

Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:

[tex]P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328[/tex]

Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:

P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)

                                       = 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328

                                       = 0.50502

Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Personal Finance: Cost of a Car The suggested list price of a new car is $24,000. The dealer’s cost is 85% of list. How much will you pay if the dealer is willing to accept $300 over cost for the car?

Answers

Answer: $20,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

List price of car = $24,000

Dealer's cost = 85% of the list price of the car

Dealer acceptance cost = $300 over the cost

Hence, total amount to be paid :

Dealer's cost + dealer's acceptance cost

Dealer's cost = (0.85 * $24,000) = $21,400

Hence, Total cost :

$20,400 + $300 = $20,700

A linear equation for the given case can be written by assuming any variable as the unknown quantity. Then, as per the given data the required operations are done and it is equated to some value.

The pair of vertical angles are given as below,

∠A = (7x - 8)°  and ∠B = (6x + 17)°.

Since, pair of vertically opposite angles are equal.

It implies that ∠A = ∠B.

⇒ 7x - 8 = 6x + 17

⇒ 7x - 6x = 17 + 8

⇒ x = 25

Hence, the value of x can be obtained as 25.

She wants the scholarship to provide $13,000 per year and expects the first one to be awarded on the day she fulfills the endowment obligation. If Aloma plans to donate $240,000, what rate of return must the university realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever?


The rate of return that the university must realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever is _____%.

Answers

Answer:

5.73%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the rate of return that the university must realize

Using this formula

Rate of return = Initial payment/(Plan to donate- Initial payment)

Let plug in the formula

Rate of return=$13,000/($240,000-$13,000)

Rate of return=$13,000/$227,000

Rate of return=0.0573*100

Rate of return =5.73%

Therefore The rate of return that the university must realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever is 5.73 %.

.The annual yield per orange tree is fairly constant at 270 pounds per tree when the number of trees per acre is 30 or fewer. For each additional tree over 30, the annual yield per tree for all trees on the acre decreases by 3 pounds due to overcrowding. Find the number of orange trees per acre, x, that maximizes the total yield for an acre, T, in pounds. What is the total maximum yield in pounds of oranges

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the yield per hectare be Y and the number of orange trees per acre, x. For fewer than or 30 trees there is a yield of  270 pounds per tree, therefore:

Y(x) = 270    for x ≤ 30

If it is more than 30 trees the yield decreases by 3 pounds, hence:

Y(x) = 270 - 3(x - 30) = 360 - 3x   for x > 30

The total yield T is given as T(x) = x × Y

T(x) = x × 270 = 270x   for x ≤ 30

T(x) =  x(360 - 3x) = 360x - 3x²   for x > 30

The maximum yield is at T'(x) = 0

T'(x) = 360 - 6x

360 - 6x = 0

6x = 360

x = 360/6

x = 60

T(6) = 360(60) - 3(60²) = 10800 pounds
