20 POINTS!!! Mr. Moore is installing new work benches in the wood shop. He wants the height of the benches to be best for studen

ts standing and working on projects. He decides to use the mean height of the students in the school as a guide. The school has 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Rather than using the heights of all the students in the school, he decides to take a sample of students.
A: Suppose Mr. Moore decides to use 20 seventh graders as the sample. Is this sample a random sample? Explain your reasoning.

B: Mr. Moore decides to use a random number generator to select 20 students from the school. Suppose that when choosing 20 students using the random generator on the graphing calculator, Mr. Moore’s sample is all eighth graders. Does that mean the sample is not a random sample? Explain your reasoning.

A: Suppose Mr. Moore decides to use 20 seventh graders as the sample. Is this sample a random sample? Explain your reasoning.

Ans: No, because he only chose the seventh graders which is invalid since he wants to have to use the mean height which involves the 6th, 7th and 8th graders.

B: Mr. Moore decides to use a random number generator to select 20 students from the school. Suppose that when choosing 20 students using the random generator on the graphing calculator, Mr. Moore’s sample is all eighth graders. Does that mean the sample is not a random sample? Explain your reasoning.

Ans: No, it is still a random sample. Since he is using a random generator, there is a possibility that the random generator would pick all students from the 8th grade. Unlike the first one, the random generator is not biased towards any grade, it is just a coincidence.

Answer:

A) That's not a random sample because everyone doesn't have an equal chance of being selected

B) It is a random sample. All from eight grade is just a coincidence (which is very unlikely)

Radio tower had a special on rechargeable batteries. It sold AA for $1 and AAA for $0.75. It sold 42 batteries on a single day a
PIT_PIT [208]
AA = $1
AAA= $0.75

AA + AAA = 42

$1AA + $0.75AAA= $37

AA + AAA = 42
AA + AAA-AAA= 42- AAA
AA = 42- AAA

$1(42- AAA) + $0.75AAA= $37
$42 - AAA +0.75AAA = $37
$42 -0.25AAA= $37
$42-$42 -0.25AAA= $37 -$42
-0.25AAA= -5
-0.25AAA/-0.25 = -5/-0.25
AAA= 20

AA + AAA= 42
AA + 20 = 42
AA +20 -20 = 42-20
AA= 22

Check
$1AA + $0.75AAA= $37
$1(22)+ $0.75(20)= $37
$22 + $15 =$37
$37 = $37

The graph shows the feasible region for the system with constraints:
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The vertices feasible region are (0 , 15) , (10 , 15) , (20 , 5)

The minimum value of the objective function C is 125

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets look to the graph to answer the question

- There are 3 inequalities

# y ≤ 15 represented by horizontal line (purple line) and cut the

  y-axis at point (0 , 15)

# x + y ≤ 25 represented by a line (green line) and intersected the

  x-axis at point (25 , 0) and the y- axis at point (0 , 25)

# x + 2y ≥ 30 represented by a line (blue line) and intersected the

  x-axis at point (30 , 0) and the y-axis at point (0 , 15)

- The three lines intersect each other in three points

# The blue and purple lines intersected in point (0 , 15)

# The green and the purple lines intersected in point (10 , 15)

# The green and the blue lines intersected in point (20 , 5)

- The three lines bounded the feasible region

∴ The vertices feasible region are (0 , 15) , (10 , 15) , (20 , 5)

- To find the minimum value of the objective function C = 4x + 9y,

  substitute the three vertices of the feasible region in C and chose

  the least answer

∵ C = 4x + 9y

- Use point (0 , 15)

∴ C = 4(0) + 9(15) = 0 + 135 = 135

- Use point (10 , 15)

∴ C = 4(10) + 9(15) = 40 + 135 = 175

- Use point (20 , 5)

∴ C = 4(40) + 9(5) = 80 + 45 = 125

- From all answers the least value is 125

∴ The minimum value of the objective function C is 125
