If you are offered one slice from a round pizza (in other words, a sector of a circle) and the slice must have a perimeter of 24

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $r$ be the radius and $\theta$ be the angle of a circle.

According with the graph, the area of the sector is given by

$A=\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta$

The arc lenght of a circle with radius $r$ and angle $\theta$ is $r \theta$

The perimeter of the pizza slice is composed of two straight pieces, each of length r inches, and an arc of the circle which you know has length s = rθ inches. Thus the perimeter has length

$2r+r\theta=24 \:in$

We need to express the area as a function of one variable, to do this we use the above equation and we solve for $\theta$

$2r+r\theta=24\\r\theta=24-2r\\\theta=\frac{24-2r}{r}$

Next, we substitute this equation into the area equation

$A=\frac{1}{2}r^2(\frac{24-2r}{r})\\A=\frac{1}{2}r(24-2r)\\A=12r-r^2$

The domain of the area is

$0$

To find the diameter of pizza that will reward you with the largest slice you need to find the derivative of the area and set it equal to zero to find the critical points.

$\frac{d}{dr} A=\frac{d}{dr}(12r-r^2)\\A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr}(12r)-\frac{d}{dr}(r^2)\\A'(r)=12-2r$

$12-2r=0\\-2r=-12\\\frac{-2r}{-2}=\frac{-12}{-2}\\r=6$

To check if $r=6$ is a maximum we use the Second Derivative test

if $f'(c)=0$ and $f''(c)$ , then f(x) has a local maximum at x = c.

The second derivative is

$\frac{d}{dr} A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr} (12-2r)\\A''(r)=-2$

Because $A''(r)=-2$ the largest slice is when r = 6 in.

The diameter of the pizza is given by

$D=2r=2\cdot 6=12 \:in$

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

A toy manufacturer wants to know how many new toys children buy each year. A sample of 1492 children was taken to study their pu

julia-pushkina [17]

By assuming the standard deviation of population 2.2 the confidence interval is 8.67 toys,8.94 toys.

Given sample size of 1492 children,99% confidence interval , sample mean of 8.8, population standard deviation=2.2.

This type of problems can be solved through z test and in z test we have to first find the z score and then p value from normal distribution table.

First we have to find the value of α which can be calculated as under:

α=(1-0.99)/2=0.005

p=1-0.005=0.995

corresponding z value will be 2.575 for p=0.995 .

Margin of error=z*x/d

where x is mean and d is standard deviation.

M=2.575*2.2/ $\sqrt{1492}$

=0.14

So the lower value will be x-M

=8.8-0.14

=8.66

=8.67 ( after rounding)

The upper value will be x+M

=8.8+0.14

=8.94

Hence the confidence interval will be 8.67 toys and 8.94 toys.
