A clothing manufacturer purchased 50 yd of cotton and 80 yd of wool for a total cost of $1,330. Another purchase, at the same prices, included 75 yd of cotton and 20 yd of wool for a total cost of $895. Find the cost per yard of the cotton and of the wool.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cotton is $9 per yard and the wool is $11 per yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where c is the cost per yard for the cotton and w is the cost per yard for the wool.

50c + 80w = 1330

75c + 20w = 895

Solve by elimination by multiplying the bottom equation by -4:

50c + 80w = 1330

-300c - 80w = -3580

Add these together and solve for c:

-250c = -2250

c = 9

Plug in 9 as c into one of the equations, and solve for w:

50c + 80w = 1330

50(9) + 80w = 1330

450 + 80w = 1330

80w = 880

w = 11

The cotton is $9 per yard and the wool is $11 per yard.

Define mean and median for a set of data

Answers

Answer:

The mean is the average number of a data set gotten by adding all the numbers then dividing by two.

the median is the middle number in a sorted set of data,either sorted in ascending order or descending order.

I hope this helps

To calculate mean:

• add up all the numbers,

• then divide by how many numbers there are.

Example:

Data: 5, 6, 10, 1

Add these all together, which is 22, then divide by 4 (because that is how many numbers there are), so:

the mean is 5.5

To calculate median:

Arrange your numbers in order.

Cross off numbers until you get to the middle.

If there is an even number of data, then find the two in the middle and find the middle of that.

Example:

Data: 5, 6, 10, 1

Arrange: 1, 5, 6, 10

So, the middle 2 are 5 and 6. In between these would be 5.5, so that is the median.

If the data was: 1, 5, 6, 8, 10,

then the median would be 6.

The population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentage of the total population is approximated by the function f(t) = 10.72(0.9t + 10)^0.3 (0 <= t < = 20)

where t is measured in years, with t=0 corresponding to the year 2000.

Required:
a. At what rate was the percentage of Americans age 55 and older changing at the beginning of 2002?
b. At what rate will the percentage of Americans age 55 and older be changing in 2017?
c. What will be the percentage of the population of Americans age 55 and older in 2017?

Answers

Answer:

Part A)

About 0.51% per year.

Part B)

About 0.30% per year.

Part C)

About 28.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentange of the total population is approximated by the function:

[tex]f(t) = 10.72(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{ where } 0 \leq t \leq 20[/tex]

Where t is measured in years with t = 0 being the year 2000.

Part A)

Recall that the rate of change of a function at a point is given by its derivative. Thus, find the derivative of our function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = \frac{d}{dt} \left[ 10.72\left(0.9t+10\right)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

Rewrite:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\frac{d}{dt} \left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

We can use the chain rule. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [u(v(x))] = u'(v(x)) \cdot v'(x)[/tex]

Let:

[tex]\displaystyle u(t) = t^{0.3}\text{ and } v(t) = 0.9t+10 \text{ (so } u(v(t)) = (0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{)}[/tex]

Then from the Power Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle u'(t) = 0.3t^{-0.7}\text{ and } v'(t) = 0.9[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right]= 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\left( 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9 \right)[/tex]

And simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 2.8944(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}[/tex]

For 2002, t = 2. Then the rate at which the percentage is changing will be:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(2) = 2.8944(0.9(2)+10)^{-0.7} = 0.5143...\approx 0.51[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percentage is increasing by about 0.51% per year.

Part B)

Evaluate f'(t) when t = 17. This yields:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(17) = 2.8944(0.9(17)+10)^{-0.7} =0.3015...\approx 0.30[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percetange is increasing by about 0.30% per year.

Part C)

For this question, we will simply use the original function since it outputs the percentage of the American population 55 and older. Thus, evaluate f(t) when t = 17:

[tex]\displaystyle f(17) = 10.72(0.9(17)+10)^{0.3}=28.2573...\approx 28.26[/tex]

So, about 28.26% of the American population in 2017 are age 55 and older.

Answer:

  34.88 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

We want to find the length of the side adjacent to the measured angle. The hypotenuse is the ladder length.

  cos(29.32°) = distance/(40 ft)

  distance = (40 ft)cos(29.32°) ≈ 34.876°

The base of the ladder is about 34.88 feet from the building.

Which of the following is the best explanation for the dots at –1?

In one game, the team beat the opponent by 1 goal.
In two games, the team beat the opponent by 1 goal.
In one game, the team lost to the opponent by 1 goal.
In two games, the team lost to the opponent by 1 goal.

Answers

Answer: Choice D

In two games, the team lost to the opponent by 1 goal.

========================================================

Explanation:

Negative scores indicate the team lost, and the absolute value of those values represent how much of a loss.

So a difference of -1 means the team lost by 1 point.

We have 2 dots over this value, so there are 2 occasions where the team lost  to the opponent by 1 goal.

An example would be that say the team scored 3 goals and the opponent scored 4 goals. So we have a differential of 3-4 = -1. The order is important because we would not say 4-3 = 1.

Because of the relatively high interest rates, most consumers attempt to pay off their credit card bills promptly. However, this is not always possible. An analysis of the amount of interest paid monthly by a bank's Visa cardholders reveals that the amount is normally distributed with a mean of 27 dollars and a standard deviation of 9 dollars.
A. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest?
B. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest?
C. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest?
D. What interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders?

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.4129 = 41.29% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest.

b. 0.1867 = 18.67% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest.

c. 0.0742 = 7.42% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest.

d. An interest payment of $35.2 is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 27 dollars and a standard deviation of 9 dollars.

This means that [tex]\mu = 27, \sigma = 9[/tex]

A. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 29, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{29 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5871.

1 - 0.5871 = 0.4129

0.4129 = 41.29% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest.

B. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 35, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.89[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.89[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8133.

1 - 0.8133 = 0.1867

0.1867 = 18.67% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest.

C. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 14. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{14 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.445[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.445[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0742.

0.0742 = 7.42% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest.

D. What interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders?

This is the 100 - 18 = 82nd percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.82, so X when Z = 0.915.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]0.915 = \frac{X - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]X - 27 = 0.915*9[/tex]

[tex]X = 35.2[/tex]

An interest payment of $35.2 is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.
