Dan bought a new house with a backyard whose dimensions are 21.8 by 12 feet. The backyard has a triangular garden with an area o

f 34.56 square feet. Dan wants to cover the backyard with seeds so that the grass will grow. If he does not need to cover the garden, how many bags of seed must he purchase to cover the rest of the backyard if one bag covers 16 square feet?

Well first, let's find the total area of the back yard.  Given the dimensions, we can assume the yard is rectangular.
Area = 21.8(12) = 261.6ft²

Now we can find the area that will need to be seeded by subtracting the area of the garden from the total area:
261.6 - 34.56 = 227.04ft²

Finally, we can divide this area by 16ft² to find the number of bags of seed we will need.  
227.04 ÷ 16 = 14.19 bags  or little more than 14 bags.. Looks like we better buy 15 bags of grass seed to do the job..

An ice cream shop sold 48 vanilla milkshakes in a day, which was 40% of the total number of milkshakes sold that day. What was t
german

Answer:

They sold 120 milkshakes that day

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion

\frac{48}{m} =\frac{2}{5}

48*5=2m\\ 2m = 240\\m  = 120\\

Note: If you have some value, v, and it is \frac{x}{100} of the total amount, you can find the value by doing the equation \frac{v}{x}*100

Four times the cube of a number is less than the difference between forty and the number. Select the inequality that represents
tigry1 [53]

<u>Answer:</u>

4x^3 < 40 - x

<u>Explanation:</u>

let the number be x, now we are given that four times the cube of a number which means four multiplied by the cube of number

i.e 4 multiplied by x^3 is less than the difference of 40 and the number x i.e 40 - x

x is for sure less than 40 as x^3 is less than the difference between 40 and x so if we write x - 40 then we will obtain negative value which will be greater than x^3.

So, the inequality obtained can be written as 4x^3 < 40 - x

Lightbulbs of a certain type are advertised as having an average lifetime of 750 hours. The price of these bulbs is very favorab
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

(a) Customer will not purchase the light bulbs at significance level of 0.05

(b) Customer will purchase the light bulbs at significance level of 0.01 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Light bulbs of a certain type are advertised as having an average lifetime of 750 hours. A random sample of 50 bulbs was selected,  and the following information obtained:

Average lifetime = 738.44 hours and a standard deviation of lifetimes = 38.2 hours.

Let Null hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 750 {means that the true average lifetime is same as what is advertised}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_1 : \mu < 750 {means that the true average lifetime is smaller than what is advertised}

Now, the test statistics is given by;

       T.S. = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, X bar = sample mean = 738.44 hours

               s  = sample standard deviation = 38.2 hours

               n = sample size = 50

So, test statistics = \frac{738.44-750}{\frac{38.2}{\sqrt{50} } } ~ t_4_9

                            = -2.14

(a) Now, at 5% significance level, t table gives critical value of -1.6768 at 49 degree of freedom. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of t, so which means our test statistics will lie in the rejection region and we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the true average lifetime is smaller than what is advertised and so consumer will not purchase the light bulbs.

(b) Now, at 1% significance level, t table gives critical value of -2.405 at 49 degree of freedom. Since our test statistics is higher than the critical value of t, so which means our test statistics will not lie in the rejection region and we have insufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the true average lifetime is same as what it has been advertised and so consumer will purchase the light bulbs.

How do I find the midpoint
Hunter-Best [27]

To find the midpoint of a line use the midpoint formula which is M = (x1+x2/2 , y1 +y2/2) After plugging in the coordinates for your variables you should get (-1+5/2, -1+2/2) This simplifies to (2, 1/2) which is the coordinates for the middle point of the base XY.
