At higher elevations water boils at lower temperatures. The temperature at which water boils is called the boiling point of wate

r. At sea level the boiling point of water is 100oC, while at 2 kilometers of elevation (about 6550 feet) the boiling point of water is 94oC. The function that gives the boiling point of water in oC, B
B
, at an elevation of x
x
kilometers is B(x)=100−3.5x
B(x)=100-3.5x
.

Determine the elevations at which the boiling point of water is between 84 oC and 96 oC. Give your answer accurate to 1 decimal place.

B(x) = 100 - 3.5x
84 = 100 - 3.5x
3.5x = 100 - 84 = 16
x = 16/3.5 = 4.6 kilometers

96 = 100 - 3.5x
3.5x = 100 - 96 = 4
x = 4/3.5 = 1.1 kilometers

Therefore, the boiling point of water is between 84°C and 96°C at elevations of between 4.6 kilometers and 1.1 kilometers.

From previous polls, it is believed that 66% of likely voters prefer the incumbent. A new poll of 500 likely voters will be cond
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The mean and standard deviation of the number preferring the incumbent is mean = 330, standard deviation = 10.59.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that From previous polls, it is believed that 66% of likely voters prefer the incumbent.

A new poll of 500 likely voters will be conducted. In the new poll the proportion favoring the incumbent has not changed.

Let p = probability of voters preferring the incumbent = 66%

n = number of voters polled = 500

<u>So, the mean of the number preferring the incumbent is given by;</u>

         Mean = n \times p = 500 \times 0.66

                                = 330 voters

<u>And, standard deviation of the number preferring the incumbent is given by;</u>

          Variance =  n \times p\times (1-p)  

                          =  500 \times 0.66 \times (1-0.66)

                          =  112.2

So, Standard deviation =  \sqrt{Variance}

                                       = \sqrt{112.2}  = 10.59

The original price of a camera is $150. If a discount of 30% is given, what is the discounted price of the camera?
MArishka [77]
So, 30% is 0.30, but since you are taking off 30%, you are going to have 70% of the price which is 0.70. The word "of" lets you know that you are going to multiply. So, what you do is 150•0.70=105. The discounted price is $105
