Complete question :

Each state imposes its own excise tax on gasoline. Suppose, for example, that the state of Massachusetts imposes a state gasoline tax of $0.26 per gallon. Suppose further that an average of 1,022,000 gallons of gasoline per day were sold in Massachusetts in 2010. The average revenue from gasoline tax in 2010 is approximately?

Answer:

$265,720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

State gasoline tax = $0.26 per gallon

Average number of gasoline sold per day = 1,022,000 gallons

. From the availabke information given :

Revenue generated = gasoline tax per gallon multiplied by the average number of gallons sold

= $0.26 * 1,022,000

= $265,720

Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 7000 students. Determine a differential equation
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The differential equation is  \frac{dx(t)}{dt} = k   x(t) [7000 - x(t)]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The number of students are n =  7000

      The number of student that have contracted the flu is  x(t)

The number of student that don't have the flu is mathematically represented as

      z = 7000 - x(t)

The rate at which the disease spread is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it, which can be mathematically represented as

         \frac{dx(t)}{dt} \ \ \ \alpha\ \ \   x(t) [7000 - x(t)]

=>     \frac{dx(t)}{dt} = k   x(t) [7000 - x(t)]

Given m || n, find the value of x and y
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = 16 and y = 121

Yes, its a long process.

Step-by-step explanation:

vertical angles are congruent given that: we do this

(4x-5)+(4x-5)+y+y=360

or

2(4x-5)+2y=360

divide both sides by 2

(4x-5)+y=180

distribute (there is an invisible 1 beside the parentheses of 4x-5)

4x-5+y=180

add 5 to both sides

4x+y = 185

subtract y from both sides

4x = 185-y

divide both sides by 4

x = (185-y)/4

note that (4x-5) is also EQUAL to (3x+11)

4x-5=3x+11

subtract 3x from both sides

x-5=11

add 5 to both sides

x = 16

Now that we know what x is, we can substitute it in the equation we got from 2(4x-5)+2y=360

Our equation was

x = (185-y)/4

16 = (185-y)/4

Multiply both sides by 4

64 = 185-y

Subtract 185 from both sides

-121=-y

multiply both sides by -1

121 = y

During summer weekdays, boats arrive at the inlet drawbridge according to Poisson distribution at a rate of 3 per hour. In a 2-h
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The probability that no boats arrive is 2.48\times 10^{-3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution:

Poisson distribution is a statistical distribution that helps to find out the probability of a certain is likely occur a specified period of time.

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda t}(\lambda t)^x}{x!}

\lambda = rate.

Given that, Poisson distribution at a rate of 3 per hour.

\lambda = 3

t=2

x=0

The probability that no boats arrive is

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-2\times 3}(2\times 3)^0}{0!}

                =2.48\times 10^{-3}
