Here is the complete question:

<em>A lumber yard has five different lengths of 2 by 4 boards. Based on cost per linear foot, which is the best deal available on 2 by 4 boards at this lumber yard?</em>

<em>2 × 4 BOARD PRICES </em>

<em>8 foot board for $2.95 </em>

<em>10 foot board for $3.15 </em>

<em>12 foot board for $4.10 </em>

<em>16 foot board for $5.80 </em>

<em>20 foot board for $6.95</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

8 foot board for $2.95

$\frac{2.95}{8}= 0.36875$

10 foot board for $3.15

$\:\frac{3.15}{10}=0.315$

12 foot board for $4.10

$\frac{4.1}{12}=0.341$

16 foot board for $5.80

$\frac{5.8}{16}= 0.3625$

20 foot board for $6.95

$\frac{6.95}{20}= 0.3475$

Therefore, <em>10 foot board for $3.15</em><em> </em>is the best deal available on 2 by 4 boards at this lumber yard. It means you should be able to get 1 board for $0.315 when you buy 10 boards.

At a certain electronics company, the daily output Q is related to the number of people A on the assembly line by Q=600+√(A+41).

Ber [7]

Answer:

$A=400\ people$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$Q=600+\sqrt{A+41}$

where

Q -----> is the daily output

A -----> is the number of people

For Q=621

Find the value of A

substitute and solve for A

$621=600+\sqrt{A+41}$

Subtract 600 both sides

$621-600=\sqrt{A+41}$

$21=\sqrt{A+41}$

squared both sides

$21^{2} ={A+41}$

$441={A+41}$

Subtract 41 both sides

$441-41=A$

Rewrite

$A=400\ people$

Two cars get an oil change at the same service center. Each customer is charged a fee x (in dollars) for the oil change, plus y

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Basic fee = $14.95

1.5 dollars per quart of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

Each customer is charged a fee x (in dollars) for the oil change, plus y dollars per quart of oil used.

The oil change for the car that requires 5 quart of oil costs $22.45.

$x+5y=22.45$

$x=22.45-5y$

The oil change for the car that requires 7 quarts of oil costs $25.45.

$x+7y=25.45$

$x=25.45-7y$

Both equation having x

so make it equal and solve for y

$22.45-5y=25.45-7y$

Add 7y on both sides

$22.45+2y=25.45$

subtract 22.45 from both sides

$2y=3\\y=1.5$

now plug in 1.5 for y and solve for x

$x=22.45-5y\\x=22.45-5(1.5)\\x=14.95\\$

Answer:

1. The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 4.41-in.

2. The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 7.19-in.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with a mean of 5.8-in and a standard deviation of 0.8-in.

This means that $\mu = 5.8, \sigma = 0.8$

1. What is the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele?

The 4.1st percentile, that is, X when Z has a pvalue of 0.041, so X when Z = -1.74.

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

$-1.74 = \frac{X - 5.8}{0.8}$

$X - 5.8 = -1.74*0.8$

$X = 4.41$

The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 4.41-in.

2. What is the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele?

100 - 4.1 = 95.9th percentile, that is, X when Z has a pvalue of 0.959, so X when Z = 1.74.

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

$1.74 = \frac{X - 5.8}{0.8}$

$X - 5.8 = 1.74*0.8$

$X = 7.19$

The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 7.19-in.
