9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c) $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile is 8/12 ft = 2/3 ft on a side. Then 8/(2/3) = 12 tiles will fit along each edge of the square area to be tiled. That is ...

  12 × 12 = 144

tiles will be needed to cover the area.

The cost of 144 tiles at $0.50 each is ...

  (144)($0.50) = $72.00

A rectangular package sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross sectio) of 108
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The maximum volume of the package is obtained with a cross section of side 18 inches and a length of 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a optimization with restrictions problem.

The restriction is that the perimeter of the square cross section plus the length is equal to 108 inches (as we will maximize the volume, we wil use the maximum of length and cross section perimeter).

This restriction can be expressed as:

4x+L=108

being x: the side of the square of the cross section and L: length of the package.

The volume, that we want to maximize, is:

V=x^2L

If we express L in function of x using the restriction equation, we get:

4x+L=108\\\\L=108-4x

We replace L in the volume formula and we get

V=x^2L=x^2*(108-4x)=-4x^3+108x^2

To maximize the volume we derive and equal to 0

\dfrac{dV}{dx}=-4*3x^2+108*2x=0\\\\\\-12x^2+216x=0\\\\-12x+216=0\\\\12x=216\\\\x=216/12=18

We can replace x to calculate L:

L=108-4x=108-4*18=108-72=36

The maximum volume of the package is obtained with a cross section of side 18 inches and a length of 36 inches.

Two bowlers bowl the following number of strikes in 9 games
ehidna [41]
First, let's calculate the mean and the mean absolute deviation of the first bowler.

FIRST BOWLER: <span>8,5,5,6,8,7,4,7,6
Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (8+5+5+6+8+7+4+7+6)/9
<em>Mean = 6.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [</span>∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|8 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222| + |8 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |4 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.136</em>

SECOND BOWLER: <span>10,6,8,8,5,5,6,8,9
</span>Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (<span>10+6+8+8+5+5+6+8+9</span>)/9
<em>Mean = 7.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|10 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |9 - 7.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.531
</em>

The mean absolute deviation represents the average distance of each data to the mean. Thus, the lesser the value of the MAD is, the more consistent is the data to the mean. <em>B</em><em>etween the two, the first bowler is more consistent.</em>
