Question:
The question isn't clear enough as some information have been omitted. Let's consider the following:
Model with Math. The average of six numbers is 18. If the average of four numbers is 12. What must be the sum of the two remaining numbers, x and y?
Write an equation to show how to find this sum.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematical models are applied to represent things in the real world in order to solve problems.
The formula we would use to solve this problem is an example of a mathematical model.
Types of mathematical model we can use include equations and graphs.
Using equations:
Average of six numbers = 18
Average of four of the numbers = 12
Total sum of the four numbers = 4×12 = 48
the two unknown numbers are x and y
Average of six numbers = (Sum of all 6 numbers)/6
=(Total sum of four numbers + x + y)/6
(48 + x + y)/6 = 18
The equation that shows how to find the sum:
(1/6)(48 + x + y) = 18
48 + x + y = 18×6
48 + x + y = 108
x + y = 108-48
x+y = 60
The sum of the two remaining numbers, x and y = 60
You have 10 shirts 2 of them are black what is the probability of not choosing a black shirt.
Answer:
80% or 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
the probability of not choosing a black shirt
P = number of shirts that are not black ÷ total number of shirts
Total number of shirts = 10
Number of black shirts = 2
Number of shirts that are not black = 10-2 = 8
P = 8/10 = 4/5 or 80%
Electricity usage data consists of 45 months has a mean number of units consumed is 390.47 per month with a standard deviation of 170.5 units per month. Assume that the number of units consumed are approximately normally distributed. Estimate 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units is between 47.07 and 733.87
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution 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 = 45 - 1 = 44
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 44 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0141
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 2.0141*170.5 = 343.4
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 390.47 - 343.40 = 47.07 units per month
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 390.47 + 343.40 = 733.87 units per month
The 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units is between 47.07 and 733.87

The mean annual salary for intermediate level executives is about $74000 per year with a standard deviation of $2500. A random sample of 36 intermediate level executives is selected. What is the probability that the mean annual salary of the sample is between $71000 and $73500?
Answer:
11.51% probability that the mean annual salary of the sample is between $71000 and $73500
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 74000, \sigma = 2500, n = 36, s = \frac{2500}{\sqrt{36}} = 416.67[/tex]
What is the probability that the mean annual salary of the sample is between $71000 and $73500?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 73500 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 71000. So
X = 73500
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{73500 - 74000}{416.67}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.2[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1151
X = 71000
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{71000 - 74000}{416.67}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -7.2[/tex]
[tex]Z = -7.2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.
0.1151 - 0 = 0.1151
11.51% probability that the mean annual salary of the sample is between $71000 and $73500
Aakash has a liability of 6000 due in four years. This liability will be met with payments of A in two years and B in six years. Aakash is employing a full immunization strategy using an annual effective interest rate of 5%.Calculate |A-B|
Answer:
|A-B|= 586.411565Step-by-step explanation:
We know that = Liability
[tex]PLiability= \frac{6000}{1.05^{4} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{6000}{1.05^{4} }=\frac{A}{1.05^{2} }+\frac{B}{1.05^{6} }\\\\6000(1.05^{2} ) = (1.05^{4} ) +B\\B= 6000(1.05^{2} )-(1.05^{4} )----------(1)\\\\[/tex]
dAssets =dLiability
[tex]4=2*\frac{\frac{A}{1.05^2} }{\frac{6000}{1.05^4} } +6*\frac{\frac{B}{1.05^6} }{\frac{6000}{1.05^4} } \\4={\frac{6000}{1.05^4}= 2*\frac{A}{1.05^2} +6*\frac{B}{1.05^6}\\\\4[6000(1.05^2)]= 2*A(1.05^4)+6*B[/tex]
From equation 1 we have
[tex]4[6000(1.05^2)]= 2*A(1.05^4)+6*6000(1.05^2)-6*A(1.05^4)\\4*A(1.05^4)=2*6000(1.05^2)\\A=\frac{2*6000(1.05^2)}{4*(1.05^4)} \\A=272.088435\\[/tex]
Going back to equation 1 we have
[tex]B= 6000(1.05^2)-A(1.05^4)\\B= 3307.5\\|A-B|= |2721.088435-3307.5|= 586.411565[/tex]

A spherical gemstone just fits inside a plastic cube with edges 12cm. a) calculate the volume of gemstone, to the nearest cubic centimeter. b) how much empty space is there.
Answer:
a) (V) = 904.78 of a sphere = 288pi diameter = 12
(V) = 1728cm^3 of a cube = face diagonal = 16.9cm
b) Difference Volume = 1728-904.78 = 823.22cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find volume of an inscribed sphere within a square cube
We use 4 π/3 * r^3 for the equation
As Radius = 6 = 6cm this is the only thing plugged into the equation to create a division first then a multiplication square of radius and then a multiplication. 4pi /3 * 6^3
r^3 = 216
4pi/3 = 4.18
4.18 * 216 = 904.78
This means the answer is 288 pi cm^3.
Answer:
volume of gemstone = 905 cm^3
volume of empty space = 823 cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
volume of cube = s^3, where s = length of edge
volume of sphere = (4/3)(pi)r^3, where r = radius of sphere
The cube has a 12-cm edge. The sphere fits tightly inside the cube, so the diameter, d, of the sphere is 12 cm. The radius is half the diameter, so radius = r = diameter/2 = 12 cm/2 = 6 cm.
a)
volume of sphere = (4/3)(pi)r^3
volume of sphere = (4/3)(3.14159)(6 cm)^3
volume of sphere = 905 cm^3
b)
The empty space is the difference between the volume of the cube and the volume of the sphere.
volume of cube = s^3
volume of cube = (12 cm)^3
volume of cube = 1728 cm^3
empty space = volume of cube - volume of sphere
empty space = 1728 cm^3 - 905 cm^3
empty space = 823 cm^3
A report about how American college students manage their finances includes data from a survey of college students. Each person in a representative sample of 793 college students was asked if they had one or more credit cards and if so, whether they paid their balance in full each month. There were 500 who paid in full each month. For this sample of 500 students, the sample mean credit card balance was reported to be $825. The sample standard deviation of the credit card balances for these 500 students was not reported, but for purposes of this exercise, suppose that it was $200. Is there convincing evidence that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905, the value reported for all college students with credit cards
Answer:
Yes. There is enough evidence to support the claim that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to test the claim that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905.
To perform this test we have a sample of 500 students which have paid their balance in full each month. The sample mean is $825 and the estimated sample deviation is considered $200.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=905\\\\H_a:\mu< 905[/tex]
The significance level is 0.05.
The sample has a size n=500.
The sample mean is M=825.
The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{200}{\sqrt{500}}=8.94[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{825-905}{8.94}=\dfrac{-80}{8.94}=-8.94[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=500-1=499[/tex]
This test is a left-tailed test, with 499 degrees of freedom and t=-8.94, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t<-8.94)=0[/tex]
As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905.

250cm3 of fresh water of density 1000kgm-3 is mixed with 100cm3 of sea water of density 1030kgm-3. Calculate the density of the mixture. *
Answer:
[tex] m_{fresh}= 1000 \frac{Kg}{m^3} * 2.5x10^{-4} m^3 = 0.25 Kg[/tex]
And we can do a similar procedure for the sea water:
[tex] m_{sea}= \rho_{sea} V_{sea} [/tex]
And after convert the volume to m^3 we got:
[tex] m_{sea}= 1030 \frac{Kg}{m^3} * 1x10^{-4} m^3 = 0.103 Kg[/tex]
And then the density for the mixture would be given by:
[tex] \rho_{mixture}= \frac{m_{fresh} +m_{sea}}{v_{fresh} +v_{sea}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] \rho_{mixt}= \frac{0.25 +0.103 Kg}{2.5x10^{-4} m^3 +1x10^{-4} m^3} = 1008.571 \frac{Kg}{m^3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can begin calculating the mass for each type of water:
[tex] m_{fresh}= \rho_{fresh} V_{fresh} [/tex]
And after convert the volume to m^3 we got:
[tex] m_{fresh}= 1000 \frac{Kg}{m^3} * 2.5x10^{-4} m^3 = 0.25 Kg[/tex]
And we can do a similar procedure for the sea water:
[tex] m_{sea}= \rho_{sea} V_{sea} [/tex]
And after convert the volume to m^3 we got:
[tex] m_{sea}= 1030 \frac{Kg}{m^3} * 1x10^{-4} m^3 = 0.103 Kg[/tex]
And then the density for the mixture would be given by:
[tex] \rho_{mixture}= \frac{m_{fresh} +m_{sea}}{v_{fresh} +v_{sea}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] \rho_{mixt}= \frac{0.25 +0.103 Kg}{2.5x10^{-4} m^3 +1x10^{-4} m^3} = 1008.571 \frac{Kg}{m^3}[/tex]
Florian ran 1.2 miles and walked 4.8 laps around the path at the park for a total distance of 3.6 miles. Which shows the correct equation and value of x, the distance of 1 lap around the path at the park? 3.6 x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 1 mile 4.8 x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 1 mile 3.6 x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 0.5 mile 4.8 x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile
Answer:
The correct answer would be D) 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because laps would be the dependent variable, so we know the number of them (4.8) would be multiplied by the variable (x). We also know that 1.2 is the constant. Now we can solve to make sure this is the right equation.
4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6
4.8x = 2.4
x = 0.5
Answer:
D) 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 miles

C is the only combination that satisfies all the constraints: it earns him more than $800 and is less than 120 plates.
The combination of 40 plates of garlic shrimp was sold, and 80 plates of spicy shrimp were sold can Pedro sell to meet his goal.
Given that,
Pedro owns a shrimp truck near the beach.
He sells garlic shrimp for $8 a plate and spicy shrimp for $6 a plate.
Each day Pedro stocks enough shrimp to sell at most 120 plates total, but he would like to earn at least $800.
We have to determine,
Which combination of garlic shrimp plates and spicy shrimp plates can Pedro sell to meet his goal?
According to the question,
Let the x plates of garlic shrimp sold,
And y plates of spicy shrimp sold.
Each day Pedro stocks enough shrimp to sell at most 120 plates,
Then,
Plates of garlic shrimp + Plates of spicy shrimp = Total number of shrimp sell each day.
[tex]\rm x + y =120[/tex]
And He sells garlic shrimp for $8 a plate and spicy shrimp for $6 a plate.
He would like to earn at least $800.
Then,
Cost of garlic shrimp per plate + Cost of spicy shrimp per plate = Total earning,
[tex]\rm 8x + 6y = 800[/tex]
On solving both the equation,
[tex]\rm x+y = 120\\\\8x + 6y = 800[/tex]
From equation 1,
[tex]\rm y= 120-x[/tex]
Substitute the value of x in equation 2,
[tex]\rm 8x +6y = 800\\\\8(120-y) + 6y = 800\\\\960 - 8y + 6y = 800\\\\-2y = 800-960\\\\-2y = -160\\\\y = \dfrac{-160}{-2}\\\\y = 80[/tex]
Substitute the value of y in equation 1,
[tex]\rm x + y =120\\\\x +80=120\\\\x = 120-80\\\\x =40[/tex]
Hence, The combination of 40 plates of garlic shrimp was sold, and 80 plates of spicy shrimp were sold can Pedro sell to meet his goal.
