Considering that you are planning the trip with limited budget and only for 4 days (=96h) you must value both time and money when doing it.

If you use the bus you spend $75 + $75=$150 and 12h + 12h = 24h. This means you spend $150 to enjoy 96h - 24h = 72h of actually camping. This means you pay $150/72h = $2,08 per hour of actual camping.

On the other hand if you choose the plane you spend $150 + $ 150 = $300 and 1,5h + 1,5h = 3h. This means you spend $300 to enjoy 96h - 3h = 93h. This means you pay $300/93h = $3,22 per hour of actual camping.

Considering all that, taking the bus his the most cost-effective option (and the cheaper one also).

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 15.4 inches, and standard deviation of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 15.4 inches, and standard deviation of 3.5 inches.

This means that \mu = 15.4, \sigma = 3.5

16 items are chosen at random

This means that n = 16, s = \frac{3.5}{\sqrt{16}} = 0.875

What is the probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 16.8. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{16.8 - 15.4}{0.875}

Z = 1.6

Z = 1.6 has a p-value of 0.9452.

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Arrange the hyperbolas in increasing order of the horizontal widths of their asymptote rectangles.
almond37 [142]

The  increasing order of the horizontal widths of their asymptote rectangles is dependent on the values gotten from  y = ± x.

<h3>What is a Hyperbola?</h3>

This is defined as a two-branched open curve formed by the intersection of a plane perpendicular to the bases of a double cone.

The rectangular hyperbola has two asymptotes which are defined as y = ± x in this scenario.

How is domain of the function f(x)=sinx restricted so that its inverse function exists?
Virty [35]

Answer:

Correct answer:  sin x ⇒D(x) :  [- π/2, π/2] ; sin⁻¹x ⇒ CD(x) :  [- π/2, π/2]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the function sin x to have an inverse function sin⁻¹x due to the monotony, the domain is taken D(x) :  [- π/2, π/2] and the range of sin⁻¹x  is CD(x) :  [- π/2, π/2].
