A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The large boxes weigh 50 pounds each, and the small boxes weigh 35 pounds each. There are 115 boxes in all. If the truck is carrying a total of 5000 pounds in boxes, how many of each type of box is it carrying?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:

  Let x = number of large boxes

       y = number of small boxes

 

 "There are 115 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 115      [eq1]

 

Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:

    (pounds per box)*(number of boxes)

 

So,

  pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4125 pounds

                 "the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes"

 

        (50)*(x)                   +              (25)*(y)                  = 4125    [eq2]

 

It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables.

 

Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2.  Let's solve for x:

   x = 115 - y          [from eq1]

 

    50(115-y) + 25y = 4125             [from eq2]

     5750 - 50y  + 25y = 4125           [distribute]

     5750 - 25y = 4125

      -25y = -1625

         y = 65             [divide both sides by (-25)]

 

 There are 65 small boxes.

 

Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:

  x = 115 - y

  x = 115 - 65

  x = 50

 

  There are 50 large boxes.

 

Check (very important):

 

Is   50+65 = 115   ?       [eq1]

         115 = 115   ?yes

Is  50(50) + 25(65) = 4125   ?

     2500 + 1625 = 4125   ?

       4125 = 4125   ? ye

Decay Problem.Decay rate,  r = 0.014Initial Amount =120,000[tex]P(t)=120000(0.986)^t[/tex]P(10)=104,220

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for growth/decay is given as:

[tex]P(t)=P_0(1 \pm r)^t, where:\\P_0$ is the Initial Population\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is time[/tex]

In this problem:

The city's initial population is 120,000 and it decreases by 1.4% per year.

Since the population decreases, it is a Decay Problem.Decay rate, r=1.4% =0.014Initial Amount =120,000

Therefore, the function is:

[tex]P(t)=120000(1 - 0.014)^t\\P(t)=120000(0.986)^t[/tex]

The m∠ABC = (10x-5)°and m∠CBD=35°. If the angles are supplementary, find the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles completes each other to 180°

if the teo angles are supplementary here the the sum of 10x - 5 + 35 should be 180°

10x - 5 + 35 = 180

10x + 30 = 180

10x = 150

The body temperatures of a group of healthy adults have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.19degreesF and a standard deviation of 0.61degreesF.

What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 96.97degreesF and 99.41degrees​F?

Answer:

a) From the empirical rule we know that within 3 deviations from the mean we have 99.7% of the data so then that would be the answer for this case.

b) [tex] z=\frac{96.97-98.19}{0.61}=-2[/tex]

[tex] z=\frac{99.41-98.19}{0.61}=2[/tex]

And within 2 deviations from the mean we have 95% of the values.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the distribution of the temperatures have the following parameters:

[tex] \mu = 98.19, \sigma =0.61[/tex]

Part a

From the empirical rule we know that within 3 deviations from the mean we have 99.7% of the data so then that would be the answer for this case.

Part b

We can calculate the number of deviations from the mean with the z score with this formula:

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

And using this formula we got:

[tex] z=\frac{96.97-98.19}{0.61}=-2[/tex]

[tex] z=\frac{99.41-98.19}{0.61}=2[/tex]

And within 2 deviations from the mean we have 95% of the values.

Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

1) Estimated slope = b₁ = 0.215

2) Estimated y-intercept = b₀ = -4.185

3) Not all the points predicted fall on the same straight line, but the model gives a close to ideal estimate of the line of best fit.

4) The estimated value of y when x=46 is 5.705

5) The value of the dependent variable y^ at x=0 is -4.185

6) The coefficient of determination = 0.951

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we apply regression analysis

y = b₀ + b₁x

Price in Dollars | 23 | 34 | 40 | 46 | 47

Number of Bids | 1 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 7

For this question, we want to predict the number of bids (dependent variable, y), given the list price of the item (independent variable, x)

So, running the analysis on a spreadsheet application, like excel, the table of parameters is obtained and presented in the first attached image to this solution.

Σxᵢ = sum of all the independent variables (sum of all the list prices)

Σyᵢ = sum of all the dependent variables (sum of all the number of bids in the table)

Σxᵢyᵢ = sum of the product of each dependent variable and its corresponding independent variable

Σxᵢ² = sum of the square of each independent variable (list prices)

Σyᵢ² = sum of the square of each dependent variable (number of bids)

n = number of variables = 5

The scatter plot and the line of best fit is presented in the second attached image to this solution

Then the regression analysis is then done

Slope; m = b₁ = [n×Σxᵢyᵢ - (Σxᵢ)×(Σyᵢ)] / [nΣxᵢ² - (∑xi)²]

Intercept b: b₀ = [Σyᵢ - m×(Σxᵢ)] / n

Mean of x = (Σxᵢ)/n

Mean of y = (Σyᵢ) / n

Sample correlation coefficient r: r =

[n*Σxᵢyᵢ - (Σxᵢ)(Σyᵢ)] ÷ {√([n*Σxᵢ² - (Σxᵢ)²][n*Σyᵢ² - (Σyᵢ)²])}

And -1 ≤ r ≤ +1

All of these formulas are properly presented in the third attached image to this answer

The table of results; mean of x, mean of y, intercept, slope, regression equation and sample coefficient is presented in the fourth attached image to this answer.

Hence, the regression equation is

y = -4.185 + 0.215x

y = b₀ + b₁x

Intercept = b₀ = -4.185

Slope = b₁ = 0.215

And the regression coefficient = 0.951 (Which is very close to 1 and indicates statistic significance)

Hence, we can use this answer obtained to answer the questions attached

1) Find the estimated slope.

Estimated slope = b₁ = 0.215

2) Find the estimated y-intercept.

Estimated y-intercept = b₀ = -4.185

3) Determine if the statement "All points predicted by the linear model fall on the same line" is true or false.

Taking a few of sample data

x = 23 when y = 1

y = -4.185 + 0.215x

y = -4.185 + 0.215 (23) = 0.76 ≈ 1

x = 34, y = 3

y = -4.185 + 0.215 (34) = 3.125 ≈ 3

Hence, it is evident that not all the points predicted fall on the same straight line, but the model gives a close to ideal estimate of the line of best fit.

4) Find the estimated value of y when x=46.

The linear model is

y = -4.185 + 0.215x

when x = 46

y = -4.185 + 0.215(46) = 5.705

5) Determine the value of the dependent variable y^ at x=0.

y = -4.185 + 0.215x

when x = 0

y = -4.185 + 0.215(0) = -4.185

6) Find the value of the coefficient of determination.

The coefficient of determination = regression coefficient = 0.951 (as calculated above)
