After that incident, the Civil defense team decided to buy new trucks with ladders higher than 100 feet. They found 2 different

trucks with same height of ladders. The first truck costs $145,000 and will cost $0.31 per mile traveled based on the current gas prices. The second truck will cost $160,000 but gets better gas mileage, costing $0.27 per mile. They need to decide which truck is the best deal.

Answer:

the first truck

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost difference between the first truck and the second truck = $160,000-$145,000 = $15,000

the difference of gas cost between the first truck and the second truck = $0.31 - $0.26= $0.05 per mile.

so,

I think, this is a very significant number of truck cost compared with gas cost

for the best deal, the first truck is the best choice.

What is 2.3 repeating as a fraction
NemiM [27]
2.3 = 2  \frac{3}{100}

We simply keep 2 as a whole number and to convert into a fraction, we always divide by 100 when it comes to the tenths place in decimals.

Suppose a national survey conducted among a simple random sample of 1475 adults shows that 54% of Americans think the Civil War
Lorico [155]

Answer:

(1) H_0 : p = 0.5, H_A : p > 0.5

(2) Test statistic = 3.08

(3) P-value = 0.00104

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 1475 adults shows that 54% of Americans think the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life.

We have to test the hypothesis to determine if there is a strong evidence that the majority of the Americans think the Civil War is still relevant.

(1) Let Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.50  {means that 50% of the Americans think that the Civil War is still relevant}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_a : p > 0.50  {means that majority of the Americans think that the Civil War is still relevant,i.e; more than 50%}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample proportion test;

              T.S. = \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }   } ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = % of Americans who think that the Civil War is still relevant in a sample of 1475 adults = 54%

           p = population proportion

           n = sample of american adults = 1475

(2) So, <u>test statistics</u>  =  \frac{0.54-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.54(1-0.54)}{1475} }   }

                                    = 3.08

The value of test statistic for this hypothesis test is 3.08.

(3) P-value is given by the following situation;

           P(Z > 3.08) = 1 - P(Z \leq 3.08)                {using z table}

                              = 1 - 0.99896 = 0.00104

So, the p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.00104.

John davis, a manager of a supermarket, wants to estimate the proportion of customers who use food stamps at his store. he has n
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1509

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, formula for number of samples is,

n= \frac{z^2 \times p \times q}{SE^2}

When nothing is given, we take p=0.5 and we know that q = 1-p=0.5.

SE = 0.03 (the true proportion should remain withing 3%)

Putting the values we get,

n= \frac{(2.33)^2 \times 0.5 \times 0.5}{(0.03)^2}

n= \frac{5.4289 \times 0.5 \times 0.5}{0.03 \times 0.03} \approx 1509


Therefore, the sample required to estimate the true proportion to within 3 percentage points is 1509.

Find the marginal profit of C(x)=5x^2, R(x)=x^3+7x+10 and find all values of x for which the marginal profit is zero.
jonny [76]
Marginal profit, P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10

x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10 = 0
If you solve it, you get x = -0.839 where P(x) is zero
