Answer:

3 people attended the banquet

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given as:

b = 75 + 15n where

b represents the total = 122

n represents the number of people attending = ??

If the total cost of the banquet is 122, how many people attended the banquet?

Hence,

122 = 75 + 15n

122 - 75 = 15n

47 = 15n

Divide both sides by 15

n = 47/15

n = 3.1333333333

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 3

Therefore, 3 people attended the banquet.

5. A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 50 feet per second. The

Answer:

SEE BELOW IN BOLD.

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t^2 + 50t

h = 20 t

When the height is the same:

-16t^2 + 50t = 20t

-16t^2 + 30t = 0

t(-16t + 30) = 0

t = 0 or -16t + 30 = 0, so:

t = 0 or -30/-16 = 1.875

So the answer is 1.88 seconds to the nearest hundredth.

For the ball

h = -16t^2 + 50t

Finding the derivative and equating to zero:

dh/dt = -32t + 50 = 0

t = -50/-32 = 1.563

Maximum height after 1.56 seconds to nearest hundredth

When the ball hits the ground h = 0 so

-16t^2 + 50t = 0

-16t(t - 50/16)= 0

T = 3.13 SECONDS TO THE NEAREST HUNDERDTH

Assume that the empirical rule is a good model for the time it takes for all passengers to board an airplane. The mean time is 4

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The interval that describes how long it takes for passengers to board the middle 95% of the time is between 40.16 minutes and 55.84 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 48, \sigma = 4$ .
