apples are given to each student, only one student get less than 5 apples. How many students are in the group?
2) A group of students will spend the night in a hotel, and certain number of rooms are booked. If 4 students are in each room, then 20 students have no room. If 8 students are in each room, then only one room is not full. How many rooms are booked?

Answer:

1) either 5 or 6 students in the group

2) 6 rooms are booked

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x students  

3x + 8 = apples

5 (x-1) + y (the one get less than 5 apples)

3x + 8 = 5 (x - 1) + y

3x + 8 = 5x - 5 + y

2x + y = 13

X       1       2      3      4      5      6

Y       11      9      7      5      3       1

because y < 5 so x = 5 or x = 6

2) x rooms are booked

4x + 20   total students

8 (x-1) + y (the students in room not full))

4x + 20 = 8 (x-1) + y

4x + 20 = 8x - 8 + y

4x + y = 28

X       1       2      3      4      5      6

Y       24    20    16    12     8      4

y < 8 answer is 6 rooms

Wal-Mart conducted a study to check the accuracy of checkout scanners at its stores. At each of the 60 randomly selected Wal-Mar
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is

   0.7811 <  p <  0.9529

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

b

  Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

c

 n =  125  \  stores  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  60  

    The number of stores that had more than 2 items price incorrectly is  k =  52  

   

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as  

             \^ p  =  \frac{ k }{ n }

=>          \^ p  =  \frac{ 52 }{ 60 }

=>          \^ p  =  0.867

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

=>   E =  1.96  * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.867  (1- 0.867)}{60} }

=>   E =  0.0859

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      \^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E

=>    0.867  - 0.0859  <  p <  0.867  +  0.0859

=>    0.7811 <  p <  0.9529

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

Considering question b

Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

   

Considering question c

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  E = 0.05

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=> n=  [\frac{1.645 }}{0.05} ]^2 * 0.867  (1 - 0.867 )

=>   n =  125  \  stores

I need answers for 4 and 6
mafiozo [28]
Hello! I can help you with this!

4.
a. $100
b. $360

The formula to find the answers to these kinds of problems is p * r * t. The rate is always a decimal, so if the rate is 8%, you multiply by 0.08. If the rate is 12%, you multiply by 0.12, and so on.

5.
a. 12.8
b. 31 1/6

I got these answers by doing the distributive property. Replace each variable with the number it represents, multiply each by two and add them up to get these answers. For the fraction one, you can set up each fraction by finding the LCD before multiplying by 2, or you can find a fraction calculator online and add the numbers up.

6.
a. x = 20
b. x = 3
c. x = 13
d. x = 0
e. x = 4
f. x = 7
g. x = -3

I solved this problem by doing the distributive property and doing these kinds of problems step by step. It’s long to explain, but hopefully your teacher has good notes for you to look back on over these types of questions. If there is only a negative sign in front of the distributive property equation, then you basically distribute -1 to each number. In these long equations, combine like terms. You must do these kinds of questions right, because it’s easy to mess up and get wrong answers if you don’t do the right steps in order.

Find the equation of (2,-1)
Elis [28]
You seem to have forgotten to add in the y-intercept or slope. For the information you have given, it could be any equation, so long as it passes through the point (2, -1), such as
y = -x + 1

Colton earns $35 per lawn he mows. In kne day he mows four lawns and he works five days a week for 20 weeks a year. His expenses
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1) Consider that he makes $1189 every two weeks engaged with work

2) An estimate of the opportunity cost of going on the fishing trip is $1450 in two weeks

3). If he decides to buy the truck, he has to work for about 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data

Total revenue from lawn mowing per year = 35 × 4× 5×20 = $1400

Similarly total operating costs = $2110

Total profit per annum = $11890

However total revenue per every 2 weeks = $1189

To buy the truck, sell his and go on the fishing trip it will cost = 5200-1500+250 =$3950 hence he has to work for about 6.64 or approximately 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

2) Opportunity cost will factor in the cost of having someone work for him while away

The cost is = $250 + $120/day

Hence in two weeks it will cost him $1450

3) He has to work for about 7 weeks to be able to afford the truck
