The cost, C. of producing coolers, x, is modeled by the equation C = 0.005x2 - 0.3x + 17. How many coolers are

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

66 coolers

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 0.005x² - 0.3x + 17

When C = $19

19 = 0.005x² - 0.3x + 17

19 - 17 = 0.005x² - 0.3x

2 = 0.005x² - 0.3x

0.005x² - 0.3x - 2 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -(-0.3) ± √-0.3² - 4*0.005*-2 / 2*0.005

= 0.3 ± √ 0.09 - (-0.04) / 0.01

= 0.3 ± √ 0.09 + 0.04 / 0.01

= 0.3 ± √ 0.13 / 0.01

= 0.3/0.01 ± √0.13/0.01

= 30 ± 0.36/0.01

x = 30 ± 36

x = 30 + 36 or 30 - 36

x = 66 or -6

Number of coolers can not be negative

Therefore, number of coolers produced when the cost is $19

is 66 coolers

Health insurance benefits vary by the size of the company (the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation website, June 23, 2016). The sa

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

$df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2$

And we can calculate the p value given by:

$p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067$

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example $\alpha=0.05$ , we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Solution to the problem

Assume the following dataset:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins. Yes No Total

Small 32 18 50

Medium 68 7 75

Large 89 11 100

_____________________________________

Total 189 36 225

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

H1: NO independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}$

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula $E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}$

And the calculations are given by:

$E_{1} =\frac{50*189}{225}=42$

$E_{2} =\frac{50*36}{225}=8$

$E_{3} =\frac{75*189}{225}=63$

$E_{4} =\frac{75*36}{225}=12$

$E_{5} =\frac{100*189}{225}=84$

$E_{6} =\frac{100*36}{225}=16$

And the expected values are given by:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins. Yes No Total

Small 42 8 50

Medium 63 12 75

Large 84 16 100

_____________________________________

Total 189 36 225

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

$df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2$

And we can calculate the p value given by:

$p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067$

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example $\alpha=0.05$ , we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio

Anton [14]

HOW TO SOLVE:

1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
  4x + 3x + 5x = 18

3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
  12x = 18

4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
  x=1.5

5) Find the lengths of the sides:

- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6

- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5

- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5

SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5
