A country will produce 3000 missiles this year. Each of the short-range missiles cost $200000 to produce. Each of the medium-ran

ge missiles cost $300,000 to produce. The ratio of the number of short-range to medium range to long-range missiles the country plans to produce this year is 3:3:4. The countries plans to use 870 million dollars to produce these missiles. How much does it cost to produce a long-range missile?

Answer:

$350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

  • s: amount of short-range missiles produced
  • m: amount of medium-range missiles produced
  • l: amount of long-range missiles produced

From the total production and the ratios we can write the following equations:

s + m + l = 3000

s/m = 3/3 = 1 = m/s

s/l = 3/4 or l/s = 4/3

Dividing the first equation by s, we get:

s/s + m/s + l/s = 3000/s

1 + 1 + 4/3 = 3000/s

10/3 = 3000/s

s = 3000*3/10 = 900

m = 900

l =  4/3*900 = 1200

From the money that the countries plans to use and each missile cost, we can write the following equation:

200,000*s + 300,000*m + cost*l = 870,000,000

Replacing with previous result:

200,000*900 + 300,000*900 + cost*1200 = 870,000,000

cost = (870,000,000 - 200,000*900 - 300,000*900)/1200 = 350,000

Complete Question

It is found that on average, 9% of the population recycles its garbage. Under this assumption, if a random sample of 120 households in Iowa City is taken, would you be surprised to find that fewer than 3% of households in the sample recycle their garbage? Use the fact that p-hat has an approximately normal distribution.

Group of answer choices

A I would not be surprised because there are lots of lazy students in Iowa City.

B I would not be surprised because 3% is not that far away from 9%.

C I would be surprised because Iowa City is a very clean community which means lots of people recycle their garbage.

D I would be surprised because if the 9% average is true, the chance of a sample proportion being less than 3% is very small (only 1%). Who cares? It's only garbage!

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  = 120

    The  mean of the proportion is  p =  0.09

   

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09(1-0.09)}{120 } }

=>   \sigma  = 0.02612

Generally the chance that fewer than 3%   of households in the sample recycle their garbage is mathematically represented as

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( \frac{X - p}{\sigma}  <  \frac{0.03 -0.09}{0.02612} )

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( Z  < -2.297 )

From the z-table  

     P( Z  < -2.297 ) = 0.01

=> [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 0.01/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 1\% /tex]

The number is three digits, the number is even, the tens digit is half the hundreds digit, the sum of the digit is 14 what is th
ser-zykov [4K]

Let x represent the digit in the hundreds place, y represent the digit in the tens place, and z represent the digit in the ones place. What do we know about each digit?

x: twice y (2, 4, 6, or 8)

y: half of x (1, 2, 3, or 4)

z: an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).

The sume of the digits is 14. So, x + y + z = 14

Choose one of the digits and look at your options (if any).

when x=2, then y = 1, which means z has to be 11 (NOT VALID)

when x=4, then y = 2, which means z has to be 8 (428 works!)

For fun, let's see if any other numbers work:

when x=6, then y = 3, which means z has to be 5 (NOT VALID)

when x=8, then y = 4, which means z has to be 2 (842 works!)

Answer: 428 and 842 both work

Answer:

segment IK or KI

Step-by-step explanation:

fgh is a segment of a line and IK is a segment of a line. fh is referring to the whole line so IK would be referring to that line segment.
