N(P) = (b) Select the statement that gives the slope of the graph of N(P), including units and describes what the slope represents. 6 computers per dollar -6 dollars per computer computers per dollar -6 computers per dollar (c) What is the change AN in the number of computers sold if the price is increased by AP = 110 dollars?

Answer:

a) N(P) = -6P + 16000

b) slope = -6 computers per dollar

That means the number of computer sold reduce by 6 per dollar increase in price.

c) ∆N = -660 computers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since N(P) is a linear function

N(P) = mP + C

Where m is the slope and C is the intercept.

Case 1

N(1000) = 10000

10000 = 1000m + C ....1

Case 2

N(1700) = 5800

5800 = 1700m + C ....2

Subtracting equation 1 from 2

700m = 5800 - 10000

m = -4200/700

m = -6

Substituting m = -6 into eqn 1

10000 = (-6)1000 + C

C = 10000+ 6000 = 16000

N(P) = -6P + 16000

b) slope = -6 computers per dollar

That means the number of computer sold reduce by 6 per dollar increase in price.

Slope is the change in number of computer sold per unit Change in price.

c) since slope m = -6 computers per dollar

∆P = 110 dollars

∆N = m × ∆P

Substituting the values,

∆N = -6 computers/dollar × 110 dollars

∆N = -660 computers.

The number of computer sold reduce by 660 when the price increase by 110 dollars

3. Find the length of the missing side given the information below.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
<h3>Answer:  12.5  (choice C)</h3>

=================================================

We apply the pythagorean theorem to find this answer.

a = 11 and b = 6 are the given legs

c = unknown hypotenuse

So,

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt( a^2+b^2 )

c = sqrt( 11^2 + 6^2 )

c = sqrt( 121 + 36 )

c = sqrt( 157 )

c = 12.52996 approximately

c = 12.5

Side note: once you replace 'a' and b with 11 and 6, you can compute everything with a calculator in one single step more or less. The steps above are shown if you wanted to find the exact value sqrt(157).

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Surgical complications: A medical researcher wants to construct a

99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of knee replacement surgeries that result in complications.

- An article in a medical journal suggested that approximately 14% of such operations result in complications. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.08?

Answer: a sample of operations needed is 149

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

confidence interval = 99.5% = 0.995 so

margin of error E = 0.08

p = 14% = 0.14

now we obtain the critical value of z t the 99.5 confidence interval

∝ = 1 - confidence interval

∝ = 1 - 0.995

∝ = 0.005

∝/2 = 0.0025

obtaining the area of probability in the right tail

Area of probability to the right is = 1 - 0.0025 = 0.9975

from probability table; critical value of t =2.81

using the formula

n = p( 1 - p ) [ (z_∝/2)/E)² ]

so we substitute  

n = 0.14 ( 1 - 0.14 ) [ 2.81 / 0.08 )²  

n = (0.14 × 0.86 ) × 1233.7656

n = 148.5453 ≈ 149

Therefore , a sample of operations needed is 149

What is the value of x? Please provide an explanation, thanks!
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is add up 42 and 76, then you subtract that from 180, because all triangles add up to 180. the subtracted amount is what z equals. Then since its a straight line you know it adds up to 180. You add z (62) and 90 because its a right angle. then you subtract 180 by 152 to get 28.
