Answer:

the probability that a randomly chosen test-taker will score 142 or lower = 0.8643

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Data point; x = 142

Mean; μ = 153

Standard deviation; σ = 10

So,let's find the z-score using;

z = (x - μ)/σ

z = (142 - 153)/10

z = -1.1

From the z-distribution table attached, the probability is;

P(z < -1.1) = 1 - 0.13567 ≈ 0.8643

You offer senior citizens a 20 percent discount on their meal prices served at your cafeteria. Assuming that an average of 150 s
scoray [572]

Given, there are an average of 150 citizens eat daile in the cafeteria.

The average price of their meals = $5.95.

The discount given for sinior citizens in their meals = 20%

So we have to find 20% of $5.95 first.

20% of $5.95 = (5.95)(\frac{20}{100} )

= \frac{(5.95)(20)}{100}

= \frac{119}{100}

= 1.19

So, the amount of discount given to the senior citizens = $1.19 per head.

As there are 150 cinior citizens daily.

So total discount given daily = $(150)(1.19) =$178.5

So we have got the required answer.

Option C is correct here.

If p(x) = 3+4x-4x^2 represents the profits in selling x thousand boombotix speakers, how many speakers should be sold to maximiz
Harman [31]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   500

Discussion:

The idea is to represent p(x)  with a squared component...

3 + 4x - 4x^2 =

3  - ( 4x^2 - 4x) =                  

Add and subtract 1:

(3+1) - (4x^2-4x +1) =

4 - (2x-1)^2


To maximize profit we need to minimize the term (2x-1)^2  as it is always positive (or zero) and subtracts from the number 4.  The minimum of (2x -1)^2 occurs when 2x -1 = 0 or x = 1/2. Since x is the number of speakers in thousands, (1/2)x = 500 speakers.

Note: this problem can be more easily addressed in a Calculus course by taking the first derivative of p(x), setting it to zero, and solving for x (which yields x = 1/2 too)




Thank you,

MrB

First, when Yana opened her saved paper, she opened an existing Word file and edited its content. Then she edited her work and continued.

She is practicing the skill of opening, creating, saving a Word file. <span />

0=x^2+13x-30 <br> I believe it is asking me to factor?
Alenkasestr [34]

x² + 13x - 30 = 0

first, to factor this, we need to find 2 numbers, that when added, equal 13. These same numbers must also multiply to equal -30

15 and -2 fit this criteria.

15 + -2 = 13

15 x -2 = -30

now we can put these numbers in place of 13 in our equation

x²-2x+15x-30=0

now we take the common value of the fist 2 numbers and place it on the outside. we do the same with the last 2 numbers.

x(x-2) +15(x-2) = 0

notice how the numbers in parentheses are the same. we can now take the outside numbers and have them with the numbers in parentheses.

(x+15)(x-2) = 0

this is the factored form.

if you needed to find x, you take the numbers that would make one of the parentheses equal 0

so x = -15, 2

hope this helps

Find the area of a regular decagon with an apothem of 5 meters and a side length of 3.25 meters
laiz [17]
The area is 81.25 m².

We find the area using the formula
A = 0.5*p*a, where p is the perimeter and a is the apothem.

Since this is a regular polygon, the perimeter is given by 10s, where s is the side length.  This gives us:

A = 0.5(10s)(a) = 0.5(10*3.25)(5) = 81.25
