Option 1: Use Your Credit Card (15 pts)

The spinner below shows 5 equally sized slices. Tammy spun the dial 25 times and got the following results. Fill in the table be

Helen [10]

Answer:

a) 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%

b) 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%

c) The first option - the theoretical and experimental values should become closer the more trials that are performed.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 4 of Tammy's 25 spins landed on black, so the experimental probability is 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%.

b) The spinner is split into 5 equal sections. Assuming it is fair, the chance of landing in any given section for a single spin is 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%.

c) The theoretical and experimental values should get closers the more trials you do.

For example, consider 1 coin flip vs 100. The theoretical probability of landing on a given side of a coin is 1/2, or 0.5, or 50%. With a single flip, your experimental probability will either be 0% or 100%, both off of the theoretical probability by 50%. After 100 flips however, the experimental and theoretical probabilities will be much closer to each other.

The total sales of a company (in millions of dollars) t months from now are given by S(t) = 0.03t3 + 0.5t2 + 9t + 4. Find S'(t).

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

$S(2) = 24.24$ . This means that in the second month, the company will sell 24.24 millions of dollars in total.

$S'(2) = 11.36$ . This means that in the second month the total sales will increase in 11.36 millions of dollars from the previous month.

d. The total sales 11 months from now will be $203.43 million dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total sales of the company, in millions of dollars is given by the following formula:

$S(t) = 0.03t^{3} + 0.5t^{2} + 9t + 4$

This function has the following derivative, which represents the variation in relation to the previous month.

$S'(t) = 0.09t^{2} + t + 9$

Find S(2) and S'(2)

$S(t) = 0.03t^{3} + 0.5t^{2} + 9t + 4$

$S(2) = 0.03*(2)^{3} + 0.5*(2)^{2} + 9*2 + 4 = 24.24$

$S(2) = 24.24$ . This means that in the second month, the company will sell 24.24 millions of dollars in total.

$S'(t) = 0.09t^{2} + t + 9$

$S'(2) = 0.09*2^{2} + 2 + 9 = 11.36$

$S'(2) = 11.36$ . This means that in the second month the total sales will increase in 11.36 millions of dollars from the previous month.

Choose the correct interpretation of S(11)=203.43.

S represents total sales, and S(11) is the total sales 11 months from now.

So the correct answer is:

d. The total sales 11 months from now will be $203.43 million dollars.

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount. Write an equation for this situation in terms of y.

SpyIntel [72]

The discount price will be 0.8X dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Price of an item = X dollars

Discount = 20%

Amount of discount = 20% of Price of item

Amount of discount =

Price of item after discount = Price of item - Amount of discount

Price of item after discount = X-0.2X = 0.8X dollars

The discount price will be 0.8X dollars.

Answer:

120 blocks total

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the little cubes have side length 2" Thus, the 11" height of the box cannot be used entirely: we waste the top 1" because the five layers of little cubes reach only to 10" from the bottom.

Start at the bottom of the box. The dimensions of the bottom are 12" by 8". Along the longer side we can lay 6 blocks (which add up to 12" and are 2" wide. We can add 3 more such rows to fill the available 8" width of the box bottom. That's 6*4, or 24 blocks.

We can add 4 more 6 block by 4 block layers before we have the maximum 5 layers stacked in the box.

5 layers times 24 blocks per layer comes to 120 blocks total.
