The value of the expression x/z is 3/5.

Simplification of an expression is the process of writing an expression in the most efficient and compact form without affecting the value of the original expression.

For the given situation,

The expressions are

7x=3y ------ (1)

5y=7z ------ (2)

From equation 1,

[tex]7x=3y[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x=\frac{3y}{7}[/tex]

From equation 2,

[tex]5y=7z[/tex]

⇒ [tex]z=\frac{5y}{7}[/tex]

Now, [tex]\frac{x}{z}= \frac{\frac{3y}{7} }{\frac{5y}{7} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{x}{z}=(\frac{3y}{7})(\frac{7}{5y} )[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{x}{z}=(\frac{3}{5})[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the value of the expression x/z is 3/5.

complete question:

If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm, what is the area of the new parallelogram?

A parallelogram with a base of 10 centimetres and a height of 8 centimetres.

Answer:

area = 48 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is quadrilateral with 4 sides formed by 2 pair of parallel lines. The area of a parallelogram is represented as follows :

area of parallelogram =  B × H

where

B = breadth

H = height

According to the question the height and the base each reduced by 2 cm.

The new base = 10 - 2 = 8 cm

The new height = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

area = B × H

area = 8 × 6

area = 48 cm²

Answer:

[tex] E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) [/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] E(X) = 1*0.05 +2* 0.3 +3* 0.4 +4*0.25 = 2.85[/tex]

So we are going to expect about 2,85 automobiles for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as "number of automobiles lined up at a Lakeside Olds dealer at opening time (7:30 a.m.)" and we know the distribution for X is given by:

X         1         2       3         4

P(X)  0.05  0.30  0.40   0.25

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete

For this case we can calculate the epected value with this formula:

[tex] E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) [/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] E(X) = 1*0.05 +2* 0.3 +3* 0.4 +4*0.25 = 2.85[/tex]

So we are going to expect about 2,85 automobiles for this case.

The expected number of automobiles at Lakeside Olds at opening time can be calculated as a weighted average, resulting in an expectation of approximately 3 cars.

The expected number of automobiles lined up at Lakeside Olds at opening time would be calculated by multiplying each number of automobiles by its respective probability and then adding up those products. This is essentially calculating a weighted average.

So for the given data:

Add up those results: 0.05 + 0.60 + 1.20 + 1.00 = 2.85. Thus, on a typical day, Lakeside Olds should expect approximately 3 automobiles to be lined up at opening time.

Answer:

The appropriate test statistic to test the claim that the mean for all car owners is less than 7.5 years is -1.997.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 200 randomly selected car owners are surveyed, it is found that the mean length of time they plan to keep their car is 7.01 years, and the standard deviation is 3.47 years.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean for all car owners.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \geq[/tex] 7.5 years     {means that the mean for all car owners is more than or equal to 7.5 years}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 7.5 years    {means that the mean for all car owners is less than 7.5 years}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation;

                                T.S.  = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean length of time = 7.01 years

            s = sample standard deviation = 3.47 years

            n = sample of cars = 200

So, test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{7.01-7.5}{\frac{3.47}{\sqrt{200} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_1_9_9[/tex]

                               =  -1.997

Using the Central Limit Theorem, it is found that the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions is 0.453.

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean based on a sample of 100 with mean 16 and population standard deviation 3 is (15.412, 16.588). For a margin of error not exceeding 0.5, a sample size of 139 is needed.

To compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ, we use the formula for a confidence interval which is ȳ ± Z*(σ/√n), where ȳ is the sample mean, σ is the population standard deviation, n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level (for a 95% confidence interval, Z = 1.96).

Plugging the given values into the formula, we get 16 ± 1.96*(3/√100), which simplifies to 16 ± 0.588. Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ is (15.412, 16.588).

For the second part of the question, the formula used to find the sample size needed for a certain margin of error (E) at a certain confidence level is n = (Zσ/E)^2. Substituting the given values into this formula, we get n = (1.96*3/0.5)^2 which is equal to 138.384. Since we can't have a fraction of a sample, we round this up to the nearest whole number, so we would need a sample size of 139 to estimate the population mean μ with a margin of error not exceeding 0.5 with a 95% confidence interval.

To compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ, we can use the formula: Confidence Interval = Sample Mean ± (Z * σ/√n). The 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ is (15.412, 16.588). To estimate the sample size needed to keep the margin of error within 0.5 with a 95% confidence level, we can use the formula: n = (Z^2 * σ^2) / (E^2). We need a sample size of at least 24 to estimate the population mean μ with a margin of error not exceeding 0.5, with a 95% confidence level.

To compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ, we can use the formula:

Confidence Interval = Sample Mean ± (Z * σ/√n)

Where Z is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

For this problem:

Confidence Interval = 16 ± (1.96 * 3/√100)

Simplifying, we get:

Confidence Interval = 16 ± 0.588

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ is (15.412, 16.588).

To estimate the sample size needed to keep the margin of error within 0.5 with a 95% confidence level, we can use the formula:

n = (Z^2 * σ^2) / (E^2)

Where Z is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level, σ is the population standard deviation, and E is the maximum acceptable margin of error.

For this problem:

n = (1.96^2 * 3^2) / (0.5^2)

Simplifying, we get:

n = 23.532

Therefore, we need a sample size of at least 24 to estimate the population mean μ with a margin of error not exceeding 0.5, with a 95% confidence level.

Final answer:

The answer to whether the segments with lengths of 1, 8, and 8 can form a triangle is True.

Explanation:

Can Segments Form a Triangle?

To determine if the segments with lengths of 1 and 8 can form a triangle, we need to apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem. This theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. In this case, we have two sides that are each 8 units long, and one side that is 1 unit long.

Let's add the lengths of the two shorter segments: 1 + 8 = 9.

This sum is greater than the length of the other segment, which is 8. Now, we will check the sum of the other two possible pairs:

Since all combinations of the sums of two sides are greater than the third side, these segments can indeed form a triangle.

Thus, the answer to whether the segments with lengths of 1, 8, and 8 can form a triangle is True.

Final answer:

Normal distribution characterizes variables like the number of ants per acre, and the Central Limit Theorem helps understand the distribution of sample means. Allele frequencies are calculated by multiplying the number of homozygote ants by two and then dividing by the total number of alleles.

Explanation:

When discussing the number of ants per acre in a forest, you're dealing with a normal distribution, which is a probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean. With a known mean (μ) of 45,289 and a standard deviation (σ) of 12,340, if we let X represent the number of ants in a randomly selected acre, we can make various probabilistic predictions.

The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) applies when considering the sampling distribution of the sample mean. For example, if we have a population with a mean (μ) of 50 and standard deviation (σ) of 4, and take 100 samples each of size 40, the CLT tells us that the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed, centered around the population mean (μ), and with a standard deviation equal to the population standard deviation (σ) divided by the square root of the sample size (n). This is because, as per the law of large numbers, the sample means tend to get closer to the population mean as the sample size increases.

When calculating allele frequencies, it's essential to multiply the number of homozygote ants by 2 (as each ant has two alleles) to obtain the number of that allele in the population. The allele frequency is then the number of a specific allele divided by the total number of alleles.

The level of production (x) that will maximize the profit is approximately 36 units.

The profit is the revenue (R(x)) minus the cost (C(x)). So, we have:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Given Functions:

Cost Function: C(x) = 45,000 + 100x + x³ dollars

Revenue Function: R(x) = 4000x dollars

Substitute the given functions into the profit function:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = 4000x - (45,000 + 100x + x³)

P(x) = 4000x - 45,000 - 100x - x³

Simplify the profit function:

P(x) = -x³ + 3900x - 45,000

Find the critical points by differentiating the profit function and setting it to zero:

P'(x) = -3x² + 3900

Set P'(x) = 0 and solve for x:

-3x² + 3900 = 0

-3x² = -3900

x²= 1300

x = ±√1300

x = ±36.06

Evaluate the second derivative (P''(x)) to determine if these critical points are maxima or minima:

P''(x) = -6x

Substitute the critical points (x = ±36.06) into P''(x):

P''(x)= -6(36.06)

= -216.36 (negative value)

Since the second derivative is negative at x ≈ ±36.06, it confirms that x = 36.06 is a maximum point.

So, the level of production (x) that will maximize the profit is approximately 36 units.

To determine the level of production that maximizes profit, we calculate the profit function, differentiate it to find critical points, and then identify the maximum. The critical points are found by setting the first derivative of the profit function to zero and solving for x.

To determine the level of production x that will maximize the profit for the manufacturer, we first need to calculate the profit function. Profit, P(x), is the difference between total revenue, R(x), and total cost, C(x).

The profit function is defined as P(x) = R(x) - C(x). Using the given cost function C(x) = 45,000 + 100x + x^3 dollars and the revenue function R(x) = 4000x dollars, we get:

P(x) = 4000x - (45,000 + 100x + x^3)

This simplifies to:

P(x) = -x^3 + 3900x - 45,000

To find the production level that maximizes profit, we need to determine the critical points by differentiating P(x) and setting the derivative equal to zero. The derivative of P(x) is:

P'(x) = -3x^2 + 3900.

Setting P'(x) = 0 gives:

-3x^2 + 3900 = 0

Solving for x yields two critical points, but only one will maximize profit. We can find this maxima by testing which value of x gives the higher P(x) or by using the second derivative test. After finding the correct value of x, we round it to the nearest whole number as the final answer.

The length of a rectangle is 5 less than its width.

The area of the rectangle is 84 square feet.

We need to determine the quadratic equation in standard form that represents the area of the rectangle.

Dimensions of the rectangle:

Let w denote the width of the rectangle.

Since, it is given that the length is 5 less than its width, it can be written as,

[tex]l=5-w[/tex] and [tex]w=w[/tex]

Area of the rectangle:

The area of the rectangle can be determined using the formula,

[tex]A=length \times width[/tex]

Substituting A = 84, [tex]l=5-w[/tex] and [tex]w=w[/tex], we get

[tex]84=(5-w)\times w[/tex]

[tex]84=5w-w^2[/tex]

Adding both sides of the equation by w², we have;

[tex]w^2+84=5w[/tex]

Subtracting by 5w on both sides, we get;

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the side walk and y represent her walking speed

It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk

Distance = speed × time

176 = (x+y)×44

44x+44y = 176

x+y = 4 .......1

It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction).

21 = (y-x)7

7y - 7x = 21

y - x = 3 ......2

Add equation 1 to 2

2y = 7

y = 3.5 ft/sec

From equation 1

x + y = 4

x = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5

x = 0.5 ft/sec

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

Answer: Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5 ft/sec

The side walk moves at 0.5 Ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground.

Let y represent the speed of the sidewalk.

It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk. It means that the total speed at which she moved is

(x + y) ft/sec

Distance = speed × time

Therefore,

176 = 44(x + y)

Dividing both sides by 44, it becomes

4 = x + y- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction). It means that the total speed at which she moved is (x - y) ft/sec

Therefore,

21 = 7(x - y)

Dividing both sides by 7, it becomes

3 = x - y- - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding equation 1 and 2, it becomes

7 = 2x

x = 7/2 = 3.5 ft/sec

Substituting x = 3.5 into equation 2, it becomes

3 = 3.5 - y

y = 3.5 - 3 = 0.5 ft/sec

  -2 = a(1^2) +b(1) +c

Subtracting the last equation from the first two gives ...

  (3) -(-2) = (4a +2b +c) -(a +b +c)   ⇒   5 = 3a +b

  (7) -(-2) = (4a -2b +c) -(a +b +c)   ⇒   9 = 3a -3b . . . . . [eq5]
