Eleni is helping to organize a school trip. She needs to find the best deal out of the three bus companies. 260 students are goi

ng on the trip. First Student charges $350 per bus. They will need 7 buses. Stock Transportation charges $500 to cover the cost for the drivers plus $6 per student. Switzer-Carty charges $7 per student. Write an algebraic equation for each company and solve it to find out which is the least expensive.

The least expensive is the Stock Transportation charges $500 to cover the cost for the drivers plus $6 per student.

<h3>How to form mathematical expression from the given description?</h3>

You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically.

For example, if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4.

If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.

Let the number of students the bus carries be x.

First Student charges $350 per bus. They will need 7 buses.

Therefore, the cost of the school hiring the bus is:

C = 7*350

C = 2450

The charge of per student

= 2450 / 260

= $ 9.4

Stock Transportation charges $500 to cover the cost for the drivers plus $6 per student.

C = 500 + 6*260

C = 500 + 1560

C = 2060

Switzer-Carty costs $7 for every student that they bus.

Therefore, the cost of the school hiring the bus is:

C = 7 * x

C = 7x

To bus 260 students, then, the cost will be:

C = 7 * 260

C = $1820

Location is known to affect the number, of a particular item, sold by an auto parts facility. Two different locations, A and B,
Mama L [17]

We have two samples, A and B, so we need to construct a 2 Samp T Int using this formula:

  • \displaystyle \overline {x}_1 - \overline {x}_2 \ \pm \ t^{*} \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}  }  

In order to use t*, we need to check conditions for using a t-distribution first.

  • Random for both samples -- NOT STATED in the problem ∴ <u><em>proceed with caution</em></u>!
  • Independence for both samples: 130 < all items sold at Location A; 180 < all items sold at Location B -- we can reasonably assume this is true
  • Normality: CLT is not met; <u>n < 30</u> for both locations A and B ∴ <u><em>proceed with caution</em></u>!

<u>Since 2/3 conditions aren't met, we can still proceed with the problem but keep in mind that the results will not be as accurate until more data is collected or more information is given in the problem.</u>

<u>Solve for t*:</u>

<u></u>

We need the <u>tail area </u>first.

  • \displaystyle \frac{1-.9}{2}= .05

Next we need the <u>degree of freedom</u>.

The degree of freedom can be found by subtracting the degree of freedom for A and B.

The general formula is df = n - 1.

  • df for A: 13 - 1 = 12
  • df for B: 18 - 1 = 17
  • df for A - B: |12 - 17| = 5

Use a calculator or a t-table to find the corresponding <u>t-score for df = 5 and tail area = .05</u>.

  • t* = -2.015

Now we can use the formula at the very top to construct a confidence interval for two sample means.

  • \overline {x}_A=39
  • s_A=8
  • n_A=13
  • \overline {x}_B = 55
  • s_B=2
  • n_B=18
  • t^{*}=-2.015

Substitute the variables into the formula: \displaystyle \overline {x}_1 - \overline {x}_2 \ \pm \ t^{*} \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}  }.

  • 39-55 \  \pm \ -2.015 \big{(}\sqrt{\frac{(8)^2}{13} +\frac{(2)^2}{18} } } \ \big{)}

Simplify this expression.

  • -16 \ \pm \ -2.015 (\sqrt{5.1453} \ )
  • -16 \ \pm \ 3.73139

Adding and subtracting 3.73139 to and from -16 gives us a confidence interval of:

  • (-20.5707,-11.4293)

If we want to <u>interpret</u> the confidence interval of (-20.5707, -11.4293), we can say...

<u><em>We are 90% confident that the interval from -20.5707 to -11.4293 holds the true mean of items sold at locations A and B.</em></u>

How much will fertilizer cost for a field 725 feet by 1,021 feet if one bag covers 10,000 square feet and costs $12.97 per bag?
zzz [600]

Answer:

$9600.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the field = length × width

Length = 1,021 feet

Width= 725 feet

Area of the field = length × width

= 1,021 feet × 725 feet

= 740,225 square feet

One bag covers 1000 square feet

There are 740,225 square feet

Find the number of bags that will cover the total of 740,225 square feet

Total bags = 740,225 / 10000

=740.225 bags

A bag cost $12.97

Total cost of 740.225 bags= 740.225 × 12.97

= $9600. 71825

Approximately

$9600.72

Answer please ! I’ll give 25 points !! Thank you
artcher [175]

Answer:

a. 7%

b. 13%

c. 3%

d. I can conclude that poor nutrition affects academic performance because the chart shows that people with poor nutrition got the worst scores out of the people with better nutrition.  The chart also shows that there are more kids below average than kids with excellent nutrition.  Kids with poor nutrition also have less people above average then any other category.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the percentages, it is just a number out of the total, which is 1000.  

Percentages are a number out of 100.  Like, 35/100 is 35%.  So the total is 1000 and if you divide it by 10, you'll get 100.  That means you have to only divide the amount of kids in a category by 10, and you'll get the percentage.  

Below average kids with poor nutrition has 70 kids.  

70/1000.  Divide 1000 by 10 to get 100.  Since you divided the denominator, 1000, by 10, you need to do the same for the numerator, which is 70.  70 divided by 10 is 7, so it's 7%.  It is sort of like a ratio!

Average kids with poor nutrition has 130 kids.

130/1000.  Divide 1000 by 10 to get 100.  Since you divided the denominator, 1000, by 10, you need to do the same for the numerator, which is 130.  130 divided by 10 is 13, so it's 13%.

Above average kids with poor nutrition has 30 kids.

30/1000.  Divide 1000 by 10 to get 100.  Since you divided the denominator, 1000, by 10, you need to do the same for the numerator, which is 30.  30 divided by 10 is 3, so it's 3%.
