Walking on his own, the distance, D, in feet, that Roberto can cover in M, minutes is given by the function D(m)=264m. When he w

alks on the moving sidewalk at the airport, the distance, A, in feet, that he can cover in m m minutes is given by the function A(m)=440m. Let B be the distance, in feet, that Roberto would travel on the moving sidewalk in m m minutes if he were standing still. Write a formula for B(m) in terms of D(m) and A(m).

Answer:

B(m)=A(m)-D(m)

B(m)=176m

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

Walking on his own, the distance, D, in feet, that Roberto can cover in M, minutes is given by the function

D(m)=264m

When he walks on the moving sidewalk at the airport, the distance, A, in feet, that he can cover in m m minutes is given by the function

A(m)=440m

B is the distance, in feet, that Roberto would travel on the moving sidewalk in  m minutes if he were standing still

moving sidewalk distance = standstill distance + walking distance

A(m)=D(m)+B(m)

so, we get

B(m)=A(m)-D(m)

now, we can plug values

B(m)=440m-264m

B(m)=176m

Graham paid $87.45 for a pair of jeans. This amount included a tax of 40%. What was the cost of the jeans before tax?
kiruha [24]

The final price is the cost plus the tax.

Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as

T = C(1+r)

T = what Graham paid = $87.45

C = cost before tax

r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40

Plugging in what we know

87.45 = C (1+.4)

87.45 = C(1.4)

Divide both sides by 1.4

C = $62.46

A water sprinkler sends water out in a circular pattern. How large is the watered area if the radius of the watering pattern is2
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply put, it is similar to finding the area of a circle.

Therefore, a=pi*r^2

a=pi*23^2

a=529pi

a=1661.9 ft^2

A report on consumer financial literacy summarized data from a representative sample of 1,664 adult Americans. Based on data fro
daser333 [38]

Answer:

a. The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is (0.54, 0.588). This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is between these two bounds.

b. Because this confidence interval is entirely above 0.5, the interval is consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

Sample of 1,664 adult Americans, 939 people in the sample would have given themselves a grade of A or B in personal finance.

This means that n = 1664, \pi = \frac{939}{1664} = 0.5643

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5643 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5643*0.4357}{1644}} = 0.54

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5643 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5643*0.4357}{1644}} = 0.588

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is (0.54, 0.588). This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is between these two bounds.

(b) Is the confidence interval from part (a) consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B?

Yes, because the confidence interval is entirely above 0.5.

Because this confidence interval is entirely above 0.5, the interval is consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B.
