The answer is No

Explanation:

All statistical questions involve collecting numerical data (usually from a group of people) and then analyzing it to draw conclusions about the opinions of people of a certain phenomenon as the data varies depending on the response of each person. This process is not required to determine the area of the floor because this has a unique answer and can simply be found by measuring the height and width of the classroom and then multiplying both numbers. Also, this does not imply gathering a lot of data and the data does not vary.

A concession stand at an athletic event is trying to determine how much to sell cola and iced tea for in order to maximize reven

Cerrena [4.2K]

Solution :

Demand for cola : 100 – 34x + 5y

Demand for cola : 50 + 3x – 16y

Therefore, total revenue :

x(100 – 34x + 5y) + y(50 + 3x – 16y)

R(x,y) = $100x-34x^2+5xy+50y+3xy-16y^2$

$R(x,y) = 100x-34x^2+8xy+50y-16y^2$

In order to maximize the revenue, set

$R_x=0, \ \ \ R_y=0$

$R_x=\frac{dR }{dx} = 100-68x+8y$

$R_x=0$

$68x-8y=100$ .............(i)

$R_y=\frac{dR }{dx} = 50-32x+8y$

$R_y=0$

$8x-32y=-50$ .............(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii),

4 x (i) ⇒ 272x - 32y = 400

(ii) ⇒ (-<u>) 8x - 32y = -50 </u>

264x = 450

∴ $x=\frac{450}{264}=\frac{75}{44}$

$y=\frac{175}{88}$

So, x ≈ $ 1.70 and y = $ 1.99

R(1.70, 1.99) = $ 134.94

Thus, 1.70 dollars per cola

1.99 dollars per iced ted to maximize the revenue.

Maximum revenue = $ 134.94

4/7 of the birthday cake was eaten on your birthday. the next day your dad ate 1/2 of what was left. you get to finish the cake,

luda_lava [24]

During the birthday 4/7 of the cake was eaten so it remained 1-4/7=3/7
the next day 1/2 of 3/7 was eaten what remained is 3/7 divide by 1/2
to divide we invert the second fraction (1/2) and multiply 3/7
3/7 x 2/1=6/7

A ladder leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 67 degrees when the bottom of the ladder is

Lynna [10]

Answer:

32.98 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have right there is a triangle.

The base of the triangle is given (14 ft)

The angle from the ladder makes while leaning on the house is 67 degrees.

This is a simple trigonometry problem

You want to find the length of the ladder and you don't have the hypotenuse

So you can use the function tan to find it.

tan(Ф) = opposite/adjacent

You are looking for the opposite side length

So you do tan(Ф) * adjacent = opposite

tan(67) * 14 = 32.98 ft
