2x^2 + ax = x(2x+ 7)
2x^2 + ax = 2x^2 + 7x
Subtract 2x^2 from both sides
ax = 7x
a = 7

The administrator of a nursing home would like to do a time-and-motion study of staff time spend per day performing nonemergency
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

32 days must be sampled to test the proposed hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The average number of person-hours per day spent on these task was \mu_0=16.

The actual value of μ is 12 hours or less i.e μ=12

She wants a test having α=0.05

The probability of a type II error of at most β=0.10 and σ=7.64.

δ = μ-μ0

   = 12-16

  = -4

Now use the formula for calculating the sample size:

N=\frac{(Z_{\alpha}+Z_{\beta})^2\sigma^2}{\delta^2}

Substitute the respective values.

N=\frac{(Z_{0.05}+Z_{0.1})^2(7.64)^2}{(-4)^2}

N=\frac{(1.6449+1.2816)^2(7.64)^2}{16}

N=31.2437958482\approx 32

Hence, 32 days must be sampled to test the proposed hypothesis.

A go-cart racetrack has 100-meter straightaways and semicircular ends with diameters of 40 meters. Calculate the average speed i
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Average speed of go cart is 217.07 meters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of straightway racetrack = 100 m

Diameter of  semicircular end = 40 m

Radius =

r = \dfrac{d}{2} = \dfrac{40}{2} = 20\text{ m}

Perimeter of racetrack =

Perimeter of semicircle + 2(Length of straightway) + Perimeter of semicircle

=\pi r + 2(100) + \pi r\\=2\pi r + 2(200)\\=(2\times 3.14\times 20) + 200\\=325.6\text{ m}

Speed =

s = \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\\\\s = \dfrac{4\times \text{Perimeter of track}}{6}\\\\s = \dfrac{4\times 325.6}{6}\\\\s = 217.06\text{ meter per minute}

Thus, average speed of go cart is 217.07 meters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest=PRT/100

When P=Principal, R=Rate, T=Time

Interest earn =( 3500 x 3 x 2.5)/ 100

I=$26,250 / 100

I=$262.5
