The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (includin

g seeds and labor) is $42 and $30 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $16,200 available for cultivating these crops. If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant? (Let x and y denote the number of acres of corn and wheat, respectively.)

Answer:

He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a siple system of equations.

]x denotes the number of acres of corn

y denotes the number of acres of wheat

Building the system:

The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. This means that:

x + y = 500

The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (including seeds and labor) is $42 and $30 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $16,200 available for cultivating these crops. This means that:

42x + 30y = 16,200

So, we have the following system

1) x + y = 500

2) 42x + 30y = 16,200

If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant?

1) x + y = 500

2) 42x + 30y = 16,200

I am going to write y as a function of x in 1), and replace in 2). So:

x + y = 500 means that y = 500-x

42x + 30y = 16,200

42x + 30(500-x) = 16,200

42x + 15000 - 30x = 16,200

12x = 1,200

x = \frac{1,200}{12}

x = 100

Now, going back to 1:

y = 500 - x = 500 - 100 = 400

He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.

The distribution of income tax refunds follow an approximate normal distribution with a mean of $7010 and a standard deviation o
Andrej [43]

Answer:

A refund must be above $7,139 before it is audited.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 7010, standard deviation = 43.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The empirical rule is symmetric, which means that the lowest (100-99.7)/2 = 0.15% is at least 3 standard deviations below the mean, and the upper 0.15% is at least 3 standard deviations above the mean.

Use the Empirical Rule to determine approximately above what dollar value must a refund be before it is audited.

3 standard deviations above the mean, so:

7010 + 3*43 = 7139.

A refund must be above $7,139 before it is audited.
