alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Money earned by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25

Solution:

Given that you are planning to take a summer job selling magazine subscription.

For first subscription, magazine company will help you to pay $0.75

For each additional subscription sold, magazine company will pay you $0.20 more than what was paid for previous subscription.

So for second subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 1

And for third subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 2

Generalizing for nth subscription we get

Payments for nth subscription = 0.75 + 0.20(n-1)

so here we can see that arithmetic sequence is formed, having first term

$a_1 = 0.75$ and common difference = d = 0.20

We need to determine sum of above arithmetic sequence for n = 175

Formula for sum of arithmetic sequence is as follows 

$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$

In our case n = 175, a = 0.75, d = 0.20

$\begin{array}{l}{=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[(2 \times 0.75)+(175-1) 0.20]} \\\\ {=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[1.5+(174 \times 0.20)]} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2} \times 36.3=3176.25}\end{array}$

Hence money earn by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25

Vesna [10]

Answer:

0 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis, meaning that the air pressure of the balls is different of the target value of 7.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The air pressure of a particular ball has a target value of 7.9 PSI.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

$H_{0}: \mu = 7.9$

The alternate hypothesis is:

$H_{a}: \mu \neq 7.9$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

The hypothesis tested means that $\mu = 7.9$

Suppose the basketballs have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.20 PSI.

This means that $\sigma = 0.2$

When a shipment of basketballs arrive, the consumer takes a sample of 21 from the shipment and measures their PSI to see if it meets the target value, and finds the mean to be 7.3 PSI.

This means that $X = 7.3, n = 21$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{7.3 - 7.9}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{21}}}$

$z = -13.74$

pvalue:

We are testing that the mean pressure is different than the target value of 7.9, and since the test statistic is negative, the pvalue is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -13.74, which we find looking at the z-table.

$z = -13.74$ has a pvalue of 0.

2*0 = 0

0 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis, meaning that the air pressure of the balls is different of the target value of 7.9.

Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

55x + 70y = 1480

x + y = 25

55x + 70y = 1480

-55x -55y = -1375

15y = 105

y = 7 VIP tickets sold

x + 7 = 25

x = 18 general admission tickets
