Two ice cream stands are deciding where to set up along a 1-mile-long beach. The people are uniformly located along the beach, and each person sitting on the beach buys exactly 1 ice cream cone per day from the nearest stand. Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers. True or False: The two stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other. True

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers:

True

The two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This distance enables the two ice cream stands to give access to the maximum number of customers at the beach, which will be almost equal at their right-hand and left-hand sides.  Therefore, the two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.  Such positioning exposes the ice cream stands to almost equal number of customers since the people standing along the beach are uniformly located.  Taking the extreme locations along the 1-mile-long beach will shrink location opportunities for both stands.

Express the prime number 19 as the difference of two squares? 19 =​

Answers

Answer:

The two squares are 81 and 100, and their difference is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Let's take out the square of 1st ten natural numbers to find out the exact answer.

1² = 1

2² = 4

3² = 9

4² = 16

5² = 25

6² = 36

7² = 49

8² = 64

9² = 81

10² = 100

Now; You can take any of these numbers and subtract from their squares.

So, let's check 6² and 5²

36-25 = 11 which is not equal to 19

Again check for 10²-9²

100 - 81 = 19 (True value)

Therefore, 19 can be expressed as the difference of square of 10 and 9.

A hose is left running for 240 minutes to 2 significant figures. The amount of water coming out of the hose each minute is 2.1 litres to 2 significant figures. Calculate the lower and upper bounds of the total amount of water that comes out of the hose.​

Answers

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say t the time the hose is left running

235 ≤ t < 245 (in min)

Let say d the amount of water coming out of the hose each minute

2.05 ≤ d < 2.15 (why d : débit in french)

235*2.05 ≤ t*d < 245*2.15

481.75 ≤ t*d < 526.75    (litres)

Answer:

Lower bound: [tex]495\; \rm L[/tex] (inclusive.)

Upper bound: [tex]505\; \rm L[/tex] (exclusive.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water from the hose is the product of time and the rate at which water comes out.

When multiplying two numbers, the product would have as many significant figures as the less accurate factor.

In this example, both factors are accurate to two significant figures. Hence, the product would also be accurate to two significant figures. That is:

[tex]240 \times 2.1 = 5.0 \times 10^{2}\; \rm L[/tex] ([tex]500\; \rm L[/tex] with only two significant figures.)

Let [tex]x[/tex] denote the amount of water in liters. For [tex]x\![/tex] to round to [tex]5.0 \times 10^{2}\; \rm L[/tex] only two significant figures are kept, [tex]495 \le x < 505[/tex]. That gives a bound on the quantity of water from the hose.

Do the sample data indicate that this statement is correct

Answers

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

7.91, 7.85, 6.82, 8.01, 7.46, 6.95, 7.05, 7.35, 7.25, 7.42

Sample size, n = 10

The sample mean, xbar = ΣX/ n = 74.07 / 10 = 7.407

The sample standard deviation, s = 0.41158 ( from calculator)

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 7

H0 : μ ≠ 7

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

(7.047 - 7) ÷ (0.41158/√(10))

0.047 / 0.1301530

Test statistic = 0.361

Testing the hypothesis at α = 0.05

The Pvalue ;

df = n - 1 ; 10 - 1 = 9

Two tailed test

Pvalue(0.361, 9) = 0.7263

Since the Pvalue > α ; we fail to reject the Null and conclude that there isn't sufficient evidence to support the claim.

H0 : μ = 15.7

H1 : μ < 15.7

This is a one sample t test :

Test statistic = (xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

n = sample size = 33

Using calculator :

The sample mean, xbar = 15.41

The sample standard deviation, s = 0.419

Test statistic = (15.41 - 15.70) ÷ (0.419/√(33))

Test statistic = - 3.976

Using the Pvalue calculator :

A researcher records the repair cost for 27 randomly selected refrigerators. A sample mean of $60.52 and standard deviation of $23.29 are subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the refrigerators. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The critical value is [tex]T_c = 1.7056[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the refrigerators is ($52.875, $68.165).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.7056, which means that the critical value is [tex]T_c = 1.7056[/tex]

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.7056\frac{23.29}{\sqrt{27}} = 7.645[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 60.52 - 7.645 = $52.875.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 60.52 + 7.645 = $68.165.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the refrigerators is ($52.875, $68.165).

Which graph represents the function h(x)=x+0.5

Answers

Answer:

The correct graph of h(x) will be number 3 (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function h(x) = |x| + 0.5

On putting x=0, in the function h(x), we get,  

h(0) = |0| + 0.5

h(0)=0 + 0.5

h(0)=0.5

Thus, the point (0,0.5) lie on the graph of h(x).

The graph that represents the function h(x) is graph (c)

How to determine the graph?

The equation is given as:

h(x) = |x| + 0.5

The above equation is an absolute value function

An absolute value function is represented as:

h(x) = a|x + h| + k

Where:

Vertex = (h,k)

By comparing h(x) = a|x + h| + k and h(x) = |x| + 0.5, we have:

h = 0 and k = 0.5

So, the vertex is (0,0.5)

The graph that has a vertex of (0,0.5) is graph (c)

Hence, the graph that represents the function h(x) is graph (c)
