Answer:

$sum \: = (x + 1) + (2x + 1) + (x + 7) + (3x + 4) \\ = 7x + 13 \\ median = ( \frac{sum}{2} + 1) \\ 16 = ( \frac{7x + 13}{2} + 1) \\ 7x + 13 = 14 \\ 7x = 1 \\ x = \frac{1}{7}$

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$360. (I believe so, anyways.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price x Discount % / 100

Discount = 600 × 40/100

24000/100

$600 - $240

Final Price = $360

There are four blue marbles, an unknown number of red (r) marbles, and six yellow marbles in a bag. Which expression represents

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

There are a total of 4 + r + 6 marbles in the bag

The probability of a blue is $\frac{4}{10+r}$

The probability of a red is $\frac{r}{10+r}$

The probability of choosing a blue, replacing it and then a red is

$\frac{4}{10+r}$ × $\frac{r}{10+r}$ = [tex]\frac{4r}{100+20r+ r^{2} /[tex]

It costs more to produce defective items - since they must be scrapped or reworked - than it does to produce non-defective items

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

1,082

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

$\bf n=\frac{z^2s^2}{e^2}$

where

z = 1.645 is the critical value for a 90% confidence level (*)

s = 2 is the estimated population standard deviation

e = 0.1 mm points is the margin of error

$\bf n=\frac{z^2s^2}{e^2}=\frac{(1.645)^2(2)^2}{(0.1)^2}=1,082.22\approx 1,083$

rounded up to the nearest integer.

So the manufacturer should test 1,083 parts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(*)This is a point z such that the area under the Normal curve N(0,1) outside the interval [-z, z] equals 10% = 0.1

It can be obtained in Excel with

NORMINV(1-0.05,0,1)

and in OpenOffice Calc with

NORMINV(1-0.05;0;1)

The radius of the large sphere is double the radius of the small sphere. How many times is the volume of the large sphere than t

kobusy [5.1K]

The volume of a sphere is $\cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3$

So, if the small sphere has radius $r$ and the largest sphere has radius $2r$ , their volumes are

$V_1 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3,\quad V_2 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi (2r)^3 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3$

So, their ratio is

$\cfrac{V_2}{V_1} = \cfrac{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3}{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3} = 8$
