Answer:

Population (p) = 4,000 hundred metric tons

Size of the yield (f(p)) = 8,000 hundred metric tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of sardines 'p', for which the derivate of the function f(p) is zero, is the population that gives the maximum sustainable yield:

f(p) = -0.0005p^2 + 4p\\\frac{df(p)}{dp}=-0.0010p+4\\-0.0010p+4 =0\\p=4,000

The size of the maximum sustainable yield is:

f(p) = -0.0005p^2 + 4p\\f(4,000) = -0.0005(4,000^2) + 4*4,000\\f(4,000) = 8,000

Population = 4,000 hundred metric tons

Size of the yield = 8,000 hundred metric tons

Keisha needs to make at least 32 costumes for the school play. Since she can make 4 costumes each week, Keisha plans to work on
Licemer1 [7]

Complete question is;

Keisha needs to make at least 32 costumes for the school play. Since she can make 4 costumes each week, Keisha plans to work on the costumes for at least 8 weeks.

Which inequality matches the problem?

A) x ≥ 8

B) x = 8

C) x ≤ 8

D) none of the above

Answer:

A: x ≥ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of weeks be x.

She needs to make at least 32 costumes and plans to work at least 8 weeks. Since she makes 4 costumes per week, we can say that;

4x ≥ 32

I used greater than or equal to sign because she can't make less than 32 costumes.

Also, she can't use less than 8 weeks.

Thus; dividing both sides by 4, we have;

4x/4 ≥ 32/4

x ≥ 8

Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral, BC║AD, m∠ A = 90°
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

  Rearrange the equations that result from use of the Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transversal AB crossing parallel lines AD and BC makes supplementary interior same-side angles A and B. Since A = 90°, B must be 90°. The Pythagorean theorem then applies in the right triangles ABC and ABD.

We can use that theorem to write two expressions for AB^2:

  BD^2 -AD^2 = AB^2 = AC^2 -BC^2

The middle expression, AB^2, isn't needed beyond this point. Adding (AD^2 -AC^2) to both sides of the equation gives the desired result:

  BD^2 -AC^2 = AD^2 -BC^2

Point M is the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Find the length of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

AB = 142

Step-by-step explanation:

If M is the midpoint, then AM = MB

6x+5 = 7x -6

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-6x+5 = 7x-6x -6

5 = x-6

Add 6 to each side

5+6 = x-6+6

11=x

We want to find AB

AB = 6x+5+7x-6

AB = 13x -1

     = 13(11) -1

     =143-1

     = 142

An accounting professor wants to know the average GPA of the students enrolled in her class. She looks up information on Blackbo
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

a) True

b) Parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

An accounting professor wants to know the average GPA of the students enrolled in her class.

Population:

  • It is defined as the collection of all variables of interest.
  • A sample of individuals of interest is drawn from a population.

For the given case

Individuals of interest:

Students enrolled in accounting class

Population of interest:

Students enrolled in accounting class

Characteristic of interest:

Average GPA of the students enrolled in her class.

a) The population is all students enrolled in the accounting class.

The given statement is true as it contains all the observation of all the individuals of interest.

b) The computed average GPA of all the students enrolled in the class is 3.29

Statistic is a descriptive measure that describes a sample where as a parameter is a measure that describes the population.

Since 3.29 is the average of all the students enrolled in her class that is the average GPA of population.

Thus, 3.29 is a parameter.
