American Airlines used cluster sampling by selecting entire flights (clusters) and surveying every passenger on those flights.
To determine customer opinion of their check-in service, American Airlines employs a specific type of sampling method by randomly selecting 70 flights during a certain week and surveying all passengers on those flights. This is an example of cluster sampling, which is one of the probability sampling techniques.
In cluster sampling, the population is divided into clusters (e.g., flights in this case) and then entire clusters are randomly selected. All individuals within the chosen clusters are included in the sample. The key element here is that entire clusters are selected, and every member of those clusters is surveyed.
The soccer team collected $800 at a car wash fundraiser. They charged $5.00 for small vehicles and $10.00 for larger vehicles. The amount collected can be modeled by the equation , where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles. If the number of larger vehicles washed was 50, how many small vehicles were washed in total?
a.55
b.60
c.130
d.150
Answer:
b. 60
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a formula [tex]5x+10y=800[/tex], where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles.
To find the number of small vehicles, we will substitute [tex]y=50[/tex] in the given equation as:
[tex]5x+10(50)=800[/tex]
[tex]5x+500=800[/tex]
[tex]5x+500-500=800-500[/tex]
[tex]5x=300[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{300}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x=60[/tex]
Therefore, 60 small vehicles were washed in total and option 'b' is the correct choice.

An instructor gives her class the choice to do 7 questions out of the 10 on an exam.
(a)How many choices does each student have?
(b)How many choices does a student have if he/she must answer at least 3 of the first 5 questions?
Answer:
(a) 120 choices
(b) 110 choices
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of ways in which we can select k element from a group n elements is given by:
[tex]nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}[/tex]
So, the number of ways in which a student can select the 7 questions from the 10 questions is calculated as:
[tex]10C7=\frac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}=120[/tex]
Then each student have 120 possible choices.
On the other hand, if a student must answer at least 3 of the first 5 questions, we have the following cases:
1. A student select 3 questions from the first 5 questions and 4 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:
[tex](5C3)(5C4)=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}*\frac{5!}{4!(5-4)!}=50[/tex]
2. A student select 4 questions from the first 5 questions and 3 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:
[tex](5C4)(5C3)=\frac{5!}{4!(5-4)!}*\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=50[/tex]
3. A student select 5 questions from the first 5 questions and 2 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:
[tex](5C5)(5C2)=\frac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}*\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=10[/tex]
So, if a student must answer at least 3 of the first 5 questions, he/she have 110 choices. It is calculated as:
50 + 50 + 10 = 110
A teacher divides the students into three groups for project each group has the same number of students in the total of number students prime or composite
Answer:
The total number of students is composite
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- A teacher divides the students into three groups for project
- Each group has the same number of students
- We need to know the total number of students is prime number or
composite number
∵ The least number of any group is 2 students
∵ There are three groups
∵ The number of students in each group equal
∴ The least number of the students is 6
∵ Any number of students must be multiple of 3 because it will
divide by 3
∵ Any prime number has only two factors 1 and itself
∵ Any multiple of 3 (except 3) has more than two factors
∵ The class can not be 3 students because when divided to 3
groups each group will have 1 students and the least number of
students in a group is 2
∴ The number of the students in the class must be composite
Final answer:
The question deals with evenly dividing students into three groups for a group assignment, indicating that the total number of students is composite, as it is divisible by three.
Explanation:
The question involves dividing a number of students into groups for a group assignment. A key concept here is understanding whether the total number of students is a prime or composite number.
If the students were evenly divided into three groups, this implies that the total number must be divisible by three, making it a composite number.
Examples of group work dynamics include cases where students divide work equally but one ends up doing the most of it, evenly distributing tasks, or each taking on different aspects of a complex problem.

The test statistic of z equals negative 1.37 is obtained when testing the claim that p equals1 divided by 4. a. Using a significance level of alpha equals 0.01, find the critical value(s). b. Should we reject Upper H 0 or should we fail to reject Upper H 0?
Answer: a) critical value = 0.0853, b) we reject the null hypothesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
z = -1.37
And the hypothesis are given below:
[tex]H_0:p=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25\\\\H_1:p\neq 0.25[/tex]
Since α = 0.01
since critical value = 0.0853
As we can see that 0.853 < 0.25.
so, we reject the null hypothesis.
Hence, a) critical value = 0.0853, b) we reject the null hypothesis.
given an existing function: f(x)=0.5(x-2)2+3, what transformstiins would have to be made to result in g(x)=-2(x+3)2 -1?
Answer:
vertical scaling by a factor of -4horizontal translation 5 units leftvertical translation 11 units upStep-by-step explanation:
We notice that the multiplier of the squared term in f(x) is 0.5; in g(x), it is -2, so is a factor of -4 times that in f(x).
If we scale f(x) by a factor of -4, we get ...
-4f(x) = -2(x -2)² -12
In order for the squared quantity to be x+3, we have to add 5 to the value that is squared in f(x). That is, x -2 must become x +3. We have to replace x with (x+5) to do that, so ...
(x+5) -2 = x +3
The replacement of x with x+5 amounts to a translation of 5 units to the left.
We note that the added constant after our scaling changes from +3 to -12. Instead, we want it to be -1, so we must add 11 to the scaled function. That translates it upward by 11 units.
The attached graph shows the scaled and translated function g(x):
g(x) = -4f(x +5) +11

The function is increasing where its slope is positive, decreasing where its slope is negative. Where the slope changes sign, there may be a point where the slope is 0 or undefined. The function is neither increasing nor decreasing there, so those points are not part of the intervals for increasing or decreasing.
The function is positive when it is above the x-axis, negative when it is below the x-axis. The function is neither positive nor negative where it is on the x-axis or where it is undefined.
The domain is the horizontal extent of the function. Any points where the function is undefined are excluded.
The range is the vertical extent of the function, all of the y-values where the function output is defined. Here, m(2) is not defined, so y=-7 is not an output at that point. However, y=7 is an output for m(-14 2/3). Likewise, m(9) does not have an output of 0, but m(3) does, so 0 is part of the range.
X- and y-intercepts are where the graph intersects the x- or y-axis, respectively. M(x) is undefined at (9, 0), so there is no x-intercept there.
A relative minimum is any point where the y-values increase on either side of the point. For m(x), the function is undefined at its relative minima, so it cannot be said to have any.
A relative maximum is any point where the y-value decreases on either side of the point. M(x) has one at the vertex of the parabolic segment.

Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]x=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}[/tex]
and b=[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a quadratic equation
[tex]x^2-x-1=0[/tex]
We have to solve the equation by completing square and find the value of b.
[tex](x)^2-2\times x\times \frac{1}{2}+(\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{1}{2})^2-1=0[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1}{4}-1=0[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1-4}{4}=0[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{2})-\frac{5}{4}=0[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{\sqrt5}{2})^2=0[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{2})^2=(\frac{\sqrt5}{2})^2[/tex]
[tex]x-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]x-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{\sqrt5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{\sqrt5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}[/tex]
And [tex]x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt5}{2}=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}[/tex]
Therefore,[tex]x=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]x=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}[/tex]
and b=[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
Final answer:
To complete the square for the equation x²-x-1=0, we add (1/2)² = 1/4 to both sides, resulting in the equivalent equation (x-1/2)² = 5/4, where b is 5/4 or 1.25.
Explanation:
To solve the quadratic equation x²-x-1=0 by completing the square, we need to transform the equation into the form (x+a)² = b. First, we would rearrange the equation to isolate the terms with x: x² - x = 1. The next step is completing the square by adding (1/2 ×-1)² = (1/2)² = 1/4 to both sides of the equation, resulting in x² - x + 1/4 = 1 + 1/4. Therefore, the complete square form is (x-1/2)²= 5/4 and the constant b is 5/4 or 1.25.

When the height of a cylinder is 12 cm and the radius is 4 cm, the circumference of the cylinder is increasing at a rate of π 4 cm/min, and the height of the cylinder is increasing four times faster than the radius. How fast is the volume of the cylinder changing?
The volume of a cylinder is changing at a rate of 256π cm³/min when the height of the cylinder is 12 cm, the radius is 4 cm, the circumference of the cylinder is increasing at a rate of π4 cm/min, and the height of the cylinder is increasing four times faster than the radius.
Explanation:The primary equation you need for this problem is the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr²h. Given the height h of the cylinder is increasing four times faster than the radius r, if we use dh/dt for the rate of change of the height and dr/dt for the rate of change of the radius, we have dh/dt = 4dr/dt.
Also, the rate at which the circumference of the cylinder is increasing is d(2πr)/dt=2πdr/dt = π4 cm/min. Hence we can set up an equation as 2πdr/dt = π4. Solving for dr/dt, we get dr/dt = 2 cm/min.
Substituting this into the previous equation, we find that dh/dt = 8 cm/min. Now, if we take the derivative of the volume equation with respect to time, we get dV/dt = πr²dh/dt + 2πrh*dr/dt.
With the values r = 4cm, h = 12cm, dr/dt = 2 cm/min, and dh/dt = 8 cm/min, replacing in the equation above gives us: dV/dt = π*4²*8 + 2π*4*12*2 = 256π cm³/min. So, the volume of the cylinder is changing at a rate of 256π cm³/min.

Last year, a women's professional organization made two small-business loans totaling $28,000 to young women beginning their own businesses. The money was lent at 7% and 14% simple interest rates. If the annual income the organization received from these loans was $3,430, what was each loan amount?
Answer:
$7,000 at a rate of 7% and $21,000 at a rate of 14%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be amount invested at 7% and y be amount invested at 14%.
We have been given that a women's professional organization made two small-business loans totaling $28,000. We can represent this information in an equation as:
[tex]x+y=28,000...(1)[/tex]
The interest earned at 7% in one year would be [tex]0.07x[/tex] and interest earned at 14% in one year would be [tex]0.14x[/tex].
We are also told that the organization received from these loans was $3,430. We can represent this information in an equation as:
[tex]0.07x+0.14y=3,430...(2)[/tex]
Form equation (1), we will get:
[tex]x=28,000-y[/tex]
Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:
[tex]0.07(28,000-y)+0.14y=3,430[/tex]
[tex]1960-0.07y+0.14y=3,430[/tex]
[tex]1960+0.07y=3,430[/tex]
[tex]1960-1960+0.07y=3,430-1960[/tex]
[tex]0.07y=1470[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0.07y}{0.07}=\frac{1470}{0.07}[/tex]
[tex]y=21,000[/tex]
Therefore, an amount of $21,000 was invested at a rate of 14%.
[tex]x=28,000-y[/tex]
[tex]x=28,000-21,000[/tex]
[tex]x=7,000[/tex]
Therefore, an amount of $7,000 was invested at a rate of 14%.
A stand-up comedian uses algebra in some jokes, including one about a telephone recording that announces "You have just reached a pure imaginary number. Please multiply by i and dial again." Explain the joke.
Answer:
i * i = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
W hen you multiply an imaginary number or i number by another imaginary pure number, the answer is going to be a negative number, due that i *i= -1. The joke is funny because if you do what the recording is saying there you won't have a pure imaginary number and if you dial again, the same would happen again and again.
Answer:
When we work with imaginary numbers, we have that
i = √(-1)
then, we have that i*i = √(-1)*√(-1) = -1
An imaginary number is a number of form A + B*i, where A and B are real numbers.
Now, a purely imaginary number is a number of the form B*i, where B is a real number.
Then, if we multiply this number by i, we have that:
B*i*i = B*(-1) = -B
now we have a real number.
The joke is that now you can "reach" a real number.
