Answer:

The condensed log equation is: $\log{\frac{x^4y}{z^5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We use these following logarithm properties to solve this question:

$a\log{x} = \log{x^a}$

$\log{a} + \log{b} = \log{ab}$

$\log{a} - \log{b} = \log{\frac{a}{b}}$

In this question:

$4\log{x} = \log{x^4}$

$5\log{5} = \log{z^5}$

$4\log{x} + \log{y} - 5\log{z}$

Becomes:

$\log{x^4} + \log{y} - \log{z^5}$

Now applying the addition and subtraction properties, we have:

$\log{\frac{x^4y}{z^5}}$

The condensed log equation is: $\log{\frac{x^4y}{z^5}}$

elena-s [515]

Answer:

a) There is a 6.88% probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

b) There is a 1.93% probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

c) There is a 10.32% probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice.

d) The expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice is 2.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions a), b), c) are all solved as binomial distribution problems.

Question d) is a simple calculation.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

For these problems

12 business owners were contacted, so $n = 12$ .

a. What is the probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice?

20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business is to prepare for long hours and hard work, so $\pi = 0.2$ .

That is P(X=0) when $\pi = 0.2$ .

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{12} = 0.0688$

There is a 6.88% probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

b. What is the probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice?

20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business is to prepare for long hours and hard work, so $\pi = 0.2$ .

This is:

$P = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{6} = 0.0155$

$P(X = 7) = C_{12,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0033$

$P(X = 8) = C_{12,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0005$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.00006$

$P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.000004$

$P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.2)^{11}.(0.8)^{1} = 0.0000002$

$P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.2)^{12}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.000000004$

So:

$P = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.0155 + 0.0033 + 0.0005 + 0.000006 + 0.000004 + 0.0000002 + 0.000000004 = 0.0193$

There is a 1.93% probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

c. What is the probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice?

Twenty-five percent say the most important advice is to have good financing ready, so $\pi = 0.25$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{7} = 0.1032$

There is a 10.32% probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice.

d. What is the expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice?

Nineteen percent say having a good plan is the most important advice, so that is $0.19*12 = 2.28$

The expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice is 2.28

a toy manufacturer has designed a new piece for use in building models. It is a cube with side lengths 7 mm and has a 3 mm in di

Ray Of Light [21]

Given that the cubical piece has side (s) 7 mm, and a cylindrical hole of diameter (d) as 3 mm.

The volume of the piece can be calculated as,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of piece}=\text{ Volume of cube}-\text{ Volume of cylinder} \\ V=s^3-\frac{\pi}{4}d^2s \\ V=7^3-\frac{\pi}{4}(3)^2(7) \\ V=343-\frac{63\pi}{4} \\ V\approx293.52mm^3 \\ V\approx293.52\times10^{-9}\text{ }m^3 \end{gathered}$

It is mentioned that the material costs $207 per cubic meter, so the cost (c) of 1 piece is calculated as,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Cost of 1 piece}=\text{ Cost per unit volume}\times\text{ Volume of 1 piece} \\ c=207\times293.52\times10^{-9} \\ c\approx60758.64\times10^{-9} \end{gathered}$

This is the cost (in dollars) for 1 piece.

Given that the manufacturer wants to produce 1,000,000 such pieces, so the total cost (TC) is calculated as,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total Cost}=\text{ Cost per piece}\times\text{ No. of pieces} \\ TC=60758.64\times10^{-9}\times1,000,000 \\ TC=60758.64\times10^{-9}\times10^6 \\ TC=60758.64\times10^{-3} \\ TC=60.75864 \\ TC\approx60.75 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the total prototypes will cost around $60.75

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.1(x - 100)² + 250

0.1[(x - 100)(x - 100)] + 250

0.1(x² -200x + 10000) + 250

0.1x² - 20x + 1000 + 250

0.1x² - 20x + 1250

0.1x² - 25x + 5x + 1250

0.1x(x - 250) + 5(x + 250)

∴ (0.1x + 5)(x - 250) or (0.1x + 5)(x + 250)
