a. The expected or average costs for all weekly rat purchases is $20.00

b. Most of the weeks resulted in rat costs of $20.00

c. The median cost for the distribution of rat costs is $20.00

d. The rat cost that occurs more often than any other is $20.00

Answer:

a. The expected or average costs for all weekly rat purchases is $20.00

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A mean value of $20.00 means that over a period of 52 weeks, the company can expect to spend $20.00 per week on rat purchases.

b. This is incorrect since individual values don't interfere in the mean. For instance, if half the weeks had a cost of $19.00 and the other half had a cost of $21.00, the mean cost would still be $20.00 even though no particular week had a $20.00 cost

c. Incorrect. The median is the central value in a distribution; the median and the mean are not necessarily the same.

d. Incorrect, same as item b.

Find two positive numbers whose product is 36 and whose sum is a minimum.
alukav5142 [94]
Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+36-x = 36).
The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x2

The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.
In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.

If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,

Identify the horizontal asymptote of f(x)=x^2+6x-9 over x-2
lora16 [44]
\bf \cfrac{x^2+6x-9}{x-2}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x^2\impliedby \textit{has a degree of 2}\\
x^1\impliedby \textit{has a degree of 1}
\end{cases}

if the degree of the expression of the numerator is greater than that of the denominator, the rational expression has no horizontal asymptote.
