We want to find the value that makes
To find it we must look at the standard normal table, using the complementary cumulative table we find that
Then, using the z-score we can find the minimum score needed, remember that
Where
σ = standard deviation
μ = mean
And in our example, x = minimum score needed, therefore
Rounding to the nearest integer the minimum score needed is 568, if you get 568 you are at the top 20.1%.
Answer:
The solution x = 229.89 ≅ 230 (since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts)implies that, the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. in the second equation, y represents the money spent to produce x sweatshirts with team logos on them for a professional sports league.
y=35x; y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492
what does the solution of the system represent in this context?
Solution
The solution of the system is obtained when both equations are equal. That is y=35x = y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 .
So, 35x = -0.05(x-400)² + 9,492.
Expanding the right side, we have
35x = -0.05(x² - 800x + 160000) + 9492
35x = -0.05x² -800x × -0.05 + (-0.05) × 160000 + 9492
35x = -0.05x² +40x - 8000 + 9492
35x = -0.05x² +40x + 1492
Collecting all the terms to the left side, we have
0.05x² - 40x - 1492 + 35x = 0
0.05x² - 5x -1492 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
We choose the positive answer x = 229.83. Since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts, we approximate to the nearest whole number. So, x = 229.83 ≅ 230 sweatshirts.
The solution implies that the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.
We confirm that by plugging in x = 229.83 in both equations.
y = 35x = 35(229.83) = 8044.05 ≅ 8044.1
y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(229.83-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(-170.17)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(28,957.8289)+9,492 = -1447.8914 + 9492 = 8044.11 ≅ 8044.1
Here we need to compare the orders of magnitude of two measures.
We will see that the bacteria is<em> 300 times larger than the virus.</em>
We know that:
The diameter of the virus-cell is:
The diameter of the bacteria cell is:
So, to compare them, first notice that both are in the same units, meters, so we only need to <u>compare the numbers</u>.
Is common sense to identify the one with the largest exponent as the largest number, and the largest exponent is -7, thus <u>the bacteria should be the larger one.</u>
But let's prove this with math, remember the property:
Let's take the quotient between the diameters and see what we get, I will use the <u>diameter of the bacteria in the numerator</u>, thus <u>if the quotient is larger than 1, it would mean that the bacteria is greater and by how much.</u>
So we can say that the bacteria is 3*10^2 = 3*100 = 300 times larger than the virus.
