Questions:

A clothing manufacturer uses the model a = √(f + 4) - √(36 - f) to estimate the amount of fabric to order from a mill. In the formula, a is the number of apparel items (in hundreds) and f is the number of units of fabric needed. If 400 apparel items will be manufactured , how many units of fabric should be ordered?

Answer:

32 units of fabrics

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Required

Find f when a  = 4

Substitute 4 for a

4 = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Rewrite as:

\sqrt{36 - f} + 4 = \sqrt{f + 4}

Square both sides

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = (\sqrt{f + 4})^2

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = f + 4

36 - f + 8\sqrt{36 - f} + 16 = f + 4

Collect Like Terms

8\sqrt{36 - f}= f +f+ 4 - 36 -16

8\sqrt{36 - f}= 2f -48

Divide through by 2

4\sqrt{36 - f}= f -24

Square both sides

16(36-f) = (f - 24)^2

16(36-f) = f^2 - 48f + 576

576-16f = f^2 - 48f + 576

-16f = f^2 - 48f

Collect like terms

f^2 - 48f + 16f = 0

f^2 -32f = 0

Factorize

f(f - 32) = 0

f = 0 or f = 32

f can not be 0 because some units must be ordered.

So, f = 32

I think it is 11/18 or 0.611111... because 6 divided by 18 is 1/3 and 11 divided by 18 is 11/18 or 0.611111...

At a certain hospital, the probability of a child being born female is 0.51. If 80 babies are born on the a certain day, the pro
Ber [7]

Answer :

0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Probability of female = probability of success on a single trial = 0.51

Number of babies = 80

Probability that more than half of the babies are female : p(X >80/2) = P(X > 40)

The problem can be solved using the binomial probability function :

P(X > 40) = [ p(X= 41) + p(X= 42) +.... +p(X= 80)]

In other to save computation time, we can use the binomial probability calculator

Hence ; P(X > 40) = 0.527 = 0.53
