This is one of those problems where you'll sink like a rock if
you allow yourself to be blinded by all the useless, unnecessary,
irrelevant information in the first paragraph.
The ONLY information you need is:
-- You're chartering a bus for 1 day.
-- It costs $780 .
That's ALL .
(You don't even need to know that the bus has 55 seats.
You might need that for #8 - #12, but not for #6 or #7.)
_________________________
If the people on the trip are going to share the cost of the bus,
then the cost of each share depends on the number of people.
Less people ==> each one pays more.
More people ==> each one pays less.
Just like everybody in the office sharing the cost of
a birthday gift for the boss.
#6 and #7 should really be done in the reverse order ...
do #7 before you worry about #6.
Before you can fill in the table in #6, you absolutely need
to have the equation, whether or not you realize it.
The total cost is fixed . . . It's $780 .
If 2 people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / 2 .
If 3 people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / 3 .
If 4 people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / 4 .
If 5 people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / 5 .
.
.
If 10 people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / 10 .
.
.
If 20 people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / 20 .
.
.
If ' n ' people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / n .
.
. until the bus is full ...
.
If 55 people go on the trip, each one pays 780 / 55 .
.
If 56 people go on the trip, then you need another bus,
and it gets more complicated.
But up to 55, the price per person is (780 / the number of people).
<span> #7). P = 780 / n .
</span>Now, filling in the table in #6 is a piece 'o cake.<span>
</span>5 people. . . . . . . 780 / 5
10 people . . . . . 780 / 10
15 people . . . . . 780 / 15
20 people . . . . . 780 / 20
.
.
etc.
Just don't go past 55 people. The equation changes after that.
For ANY number of people, even hundreds, and ANY number
of buses, I think the equation looks something like this:
P = (785/n) · [ 1 + int(n/56) ] .
' int ' means ' the greatest integer in ... ', that is,
' throw away the fractional part of the quotient,
and use only the whole number '.
Answer: The side lengths of mirror and painting are 7 ft and 9 ft respectively.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a square mirror has sides measuring 2 ft less than the sides of a square painting and the difference between their areas is 32 ft.
We are to find the lengths of the sides of the mirror and the painting.
Let x ft represents the length of the side of mirror. Then, the side length of square painting is (x+2) ft.
According to the given information, we have
Therefore, the side length of mirror is 7 ft and the side length of painting is (7+2) = 9 ft.
Thus, the side lengths of mirror and painting are 7 ft and 9 ft respectively.
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
A six sigma level has a lower and upper specification limits between 
and 
. It means that the probability of finding no defects in a process is, considering 12 significant figures, for values symmetrically covered for standard deviations from the mean of a normal distribution:
For those with defects <em>operating at a 6 sigma level, </em>the probability is:
Similarly, for finding <em>no defects</em> in a 5 sigma level, we have:
.
The probability of defects is:
Well, the defects present in a six sigma level and a five sigma level are, respectively:
Then, comparing both fractions, we can confirm that a <em>6 sigma level is markedly different when it comes to the number of defects present:</em>
[1]
[2]
Comparing [1] and [2], a six sigma process has <em>2 defects per billion</em> opportunities, whereas a five sigma process has <em>600 defects per billion</em> opportunities.
