Answer:

Blank 1: 20 cups of flour

Blank 2: 18.75 cups of flour or 18 3/4 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Blank 1:  It tells you for every 8 tablespoons of honey they need 10 cups of flour. 16 table spoons of honey is double the 8 tablespoons of honey so you would also double the amount of flour.

2 x 10= 20.

Blank 2: You can find out how much cups of flour is needed for one table spoon of honey by dividing the cups of flour by 8 which gives you 1 and 1/4 or 1.25. Then you can multiply that by 15 for the 15 tablespoons of honey.

1.25 x 15 = 18.75

1 1/4 x 15 = 75/4 or 18 3/4.

Using the given ratio of 8 tablespoons of honey to 10 cups of flour, 16 tablespoons of honey requires 20 cups of flour and 15 tablespoons of honey requires 18.75 cups of flour.

The bakery's recipe uses a constant ratio of 8 tablespoons of honey to 10 cups of flour. To find how much flour is needed for different amounts of honey, we use this ratio as a guide.

For 16 tablespoons of honey (which is twice the original amount), we also double the amount of flour, which gives us 20 cups of flour (10 cups*2).

For 15 tablespoons of honey, the situation is not as straightforward and we need to establish a proportion. This requires us to set up the equation as follows: (8 tablespoons of honey : 10 cups of flour = 15 tablespoons of honey : X cups of flour). Solving for X, we get X = 18.75 cups of flour.

We have that the salary of the 12th employee would be 26000. One criteria to define if it's a good idea to hire the 12th employee is to check if the profit for having an extra employee is positive. We will take the revenue of the extra employee minus the cost and check if it is positiv. Then,

[tex](108\sqrt[]{12}-108\sqrt[]{11})\text{(revenue for 12 employees)}-26000\text{(cost for the 12th employee} =-25984<0[/tex]

Answer:

The correct answer is that Jon needs approximately 11.19 gallons of gas to take his children to and from school each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to figure out how many miles Jon drives per week.  To do this, we need to multiply the number of miles Jon drives per day (47 miles) by the number of days Jon drives per week (5).

47 * 5 = 235

This means that Jon drives 235 miles per week.  Now, to figure out how many gallons of gas Jon uses, we need to divide the number of miles Jon drives (235) by the number of miles per gallon Jon's vehicle gets (21).

235/21 = 11.19

Therefore, the answer is that Jon needs about 11 gallons of gas to take his children to and from school each week.

[tex]5.5-2.701\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{42}}=5.04[/tex]    

[tex]5.5+2.701\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{42}}=5.96[/tex]    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5.04;5.96)

And the best option would be:

a. 5.04 and 5.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

[tex]\bar X=5.5[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample  

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.1 represent the sample standard deviation

n=42 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

[tex]df=n-1=42-1=41[/tex]

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.005[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,41)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.701[/tex]

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

[tex]5.5-2.701\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{42}}=5.04[/tex]    

[tex]5.5+2.701\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{42}}=5.96[/tex]    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5.04;5.96)

And the best option would be:

To predict the number of golden retrievers G that will be registered in year t, use the linear equation G = -6.4t + 12868.9.

To predict the number of golden retrievers G that will be registered in year t, we can use a linear equation. We have two data points: (2001, 62.5) and (2002, 56.1). We can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Step 1: Determine the slope (m) using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (56.1 - 62.5) / (2002 - 2001) = -6.4

Step 2: Choose one of the data points and substitute the values into the equation to solve for b. Using (2001, 62.5), we can substitute x = 2001 and y = 62.5.

62.5 = -6.4 * 2001 + b
62.5 = -12806.4 + b
b = 12868.9

Step 3: The linear equation to predict the number of golden retrievers G is G = -6.4t + 12868.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a cartessian plane, we take four points as shown. Point A has coordinates as (4, 0) while point B is (32, 0). Since the y cordinates are zero, don't change, only x change. Change in x coordinates is 32-4=28 units.

Point C is (32, 12) where x has not changed when compared to point B but y changes by 12-0=12 units

Therefore, the diagram is triangle whose length is 28 units while width is 12 units.

Answer:

The value of the t-statistic for this test is 1.138.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a new manager of a small convenience store randomly samples 20 purchases from yesterday’s sales. The mean was $45.26 and the standard deviation was $20.67.

We wish to test for evidence that the overall mean purchase amount is at least $40

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = overall mean purchase amount

SO, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] $40   {means that the overall mean purchase amount is at least $40}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < $40   {means that the overall mean purchase amount is less than $40}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics because we don't know about the 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 sale = $45.26

              s = sample standard deviation = $20.67

              n = sample of purchases = 20

So, test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{45.26-40}{{\frac{20.67}{\sqrt{20} } } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_1_9[/tex]

                               =  1.138

The chip amount that represents the 67th percentile is 48.588.and this can be determined by using the formula of z-score.

Given :

The amount of corn chips dispensed into a bag by the dispensing machine has been identified as possessing a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 48.5 ounces and a standard deviation of σ = 0.2 ounces.

To determine the chip amount that represents the 67th percentile, the below formula can be used:

[tex]\rm z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Now, substitute the values of known terms in the above formula:

[tex]\rm 0.44 = \dfrac{x - 48.5}{0.2}[/tex]

Cross multiply in the above equation.

[tex]\rm 0.44\times 0.2 = x - 48.5[/tex]

Now further, simplify the above equation.

0.088 = x - 48.5

x = 48.5 + 0.088

x = 48.588

The weight that represents the 67th percentile of the corn chip bags, with a given mean of 48.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounce, is 48.59 ounces, calculated using the z-score provided.

To determine the amount of corn chips that represents the 67th percentile, p67, for a bag's weight distribution with a mean of μ = 48.5 ounces and a standard deviation of σ = 0.2 ounce. Given that the z-score for the 67th percentile is z = 0.44, we can use the percentile to z-score formula to find the corresponding weight.

To convert a z-score to a specific value within a normal distribution, we use the formula:

X = μ + zσ

For the 67th percentile:

X = 48.5 + (0.44 × 0.2)

X = 48.5 + 0.088

X ≈ 48.59 ounces (rounded to two decimal places)

This means that the weight that represents the 67th percentile of corn chip bag weights, to the nearest hundredth, is 48.59 ounces.

Final answer:

The probability that exactly 3 people out of a sample of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone in a house at night, given that 5% of Americans have this fear, is approximately 13.98%.

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability that exactly 3 people in a sample of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone in a house at night, given that 5% of Americans have this fear. This can be solved using the binomial probability formula, which is P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where n is the number of trials, k is the number of successful trials, p is the probability of success on an individual trial, and C(n, k) is the number of combinations of n items taken k at a time.

Plugging in the values, we get P(X = 3) = C(20, 3) * 0.05³* 0.95¹⁷ First, calculate C(20, 3) = 20! / (3!(20-3)!) = 1140. Then calculate the probability: P(X = 3) = 1140 * 0.05³* 0.95¹⁷.

Doing the math, P(X = 3) ≈ 0.1398, or approximately 13.98%.

Final answer:

The probability that exactly 3 out of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone at night is found by using the binomial probability formula, which incorporates the number of people in the sample, the number who are afraid, and the overall chance of fear of being alone at night.

Explanation:

To find the probability that exactly 3 people out of a random sample of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone at night when it is known that 5% of Americans have this fear, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)

Where:

n is the number of trials (in this case, 20)

k is the number of successes (in this case, 3)

p is the probability of success on an individual trial (5% or 0.05)

C(n, k) is the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time

Let's calculate:

Compute C(20, 3): This is 20! / (3! * (20-3)!).

Calculate p^k, which is 0.05^3.

Calculate (1-p)^(n-k), which is (1-0.05)^(20-3).

Multiply these together to get the probability.

After performing the calculations, we determine the probability of exactly 3 out of 20 Americans being afraid of being alone at night.

Required total charge is [tex]256\pi[/tex] coulombs per square meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given electric charge is dristributed over the disk,

[tex]x^2=y^2\leq 16[/tex] so that the charge density at (x,y) is,

[tex]\rho (x,y)=2x+2y+2x^2+2y^2[/tex]

To find total charge on the disk let Q be the total charge and [tex]x=r\cos\theta,y=r\sin\theta[/tex] so that,

[tex]Q={\int\int}_Q\rho(x,y) dA[/tex]                where A is the surface of disk.

[tex]=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{4}(2x+2y+2x^2+2y^2)dA[/tex]

[tex]=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{4}(2r\cos\theta+2r\sin\theta+2r^2 \cos^{2}\theta+2r^2\sin^2\theta)rdrd\theta[/tex]

[tex]=2\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{4}r^2(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)drd\theta+2\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{4}r^3drd\theta[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2}{3}\int_{0}^{2\pi}(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)\Big[r^3\Big]_{0}^{4}d\theta+2\int_{0}^{2\pi}\Big[\frac{r^4}{4}\Big]d\theta[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{128}{3}\int_{0}^{2\pi}(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)d\theta+128\int_{0}^{2\pi}d\theta[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{128}{3}\Big[\sin\theta-\cos\theta\Big]_{0}^{2\pi}+128\times 2\pi[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{128}{3}\Big[\sin 2\pi-\cos 2\pi-\sin 0+\cos 0\Big]+256\pi[/tex]

[tex]=256\pi[/tex]

Hence total charge is [tex]256\pi[/tex] coulombs per square meter.

To find the total charge on a disk with a given charge density, we need to integrate the charge density over the entire area of the disk. In this case, the charge density is not constant, so we convert the cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates which simplifies the integral. The final solution is obtained by performing a double integral over r and θ.

The student is asking for the total electric charge on a disk with a given charge density. The disk being referred to is defined by the equation x² + y² ≤ 16, i.e., a disk of radius 4 units, and the charge density at any point (x, y) on the disk is given by rho(x, y) = 2x + 2y + 2x² + 2y².

In such problems, we find the total charge by integrating the charge density over the entire area of the disk. But in this case, we first need to convert the cartesian coordinates (x, y) to polar coordinates. which simplifies the integral. In polar coordinates, the area element is r dr dθ and the charge density funciton becomes rho(r, θ) = 2r cosθ + 2r sinθ + 2r². We perform a double integral of this function over r from 0 to 4 and θ from 0 to 2π.

This is a classic example of a problem in electrostatics, particularly involving the calculation of electric charge given a non-uniform charge density.

Consider the reduction of the rectangle. A large rectangle has a length of 16.8 feet and width of 2.3 feet. A smaller rectangle has a length of 4.5 feet and width of x feet. Not drawn to scale (The drawing is in the attachment). Rounded to the nearest tenth.  

What is the value of x?

A. 0.1 feet

B. 0.6 feet

C. 1.6 feet

D. 2.0 feet

Answer: B. 0.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Two quantity are proportional if the ratio of them is constant. From the drawing and the question, we have that the two rectangles are proportional between them.

[tex]\frac{x}{2.3} = \frac{4.5}{16.8}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{4.5*2.3}{16.8}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{10.35}{16.8}[/tex]

x = 0.6

The width of the smaller rectangle is 0.6 feet.

Answer: 0.6 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: 16.8/4.5= 3.733333333 repeating. The scale factor is 3.73333333333 repeating. 2.3/3.733333333333 Repeating equals .61607142857. We can shorten it to .61, and it says rounded to the nearest tenth, so .61 rounded is 0.6.
