Answer:

784000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Profit = 700000

Let us begin by finding what 12% of 700000 is

=12/100* 700000

=0.12* 700000

=84000

Hence the profit made last years was

=84000+700000

=784000

Find the dimensions of the open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Dimension of the box is $16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45$

The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the box?

Solution :

Let h be the height of the box which is the side length of a corner square.

According to question,

A sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

The length of the box is $L=21-2h$

The width of the box is $W=12-2h$

The volume of the box is $V=L\times W\times H$

$V=(21-2h)\times (12-2h)\times h$

$V=(21-2h)\times (12h-2h^2)$

$V=252h-42h^2-24h^2+4h^3$

$V=4h^3-66h^2+252h$

To maximize the volume we find derivative of volume and put it to zero.

$V'=12h^2-132h+252$

$0=12h^2-132h+252$

Solving by quadratic formula,

$h=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$h=\frac{-(-132)\pm\sqrt{132^2-4(12)(252)}}{2(12)}$

$h=\frac{132\pm72.99}{24}$

$h=2.45,8.54$

Now, substitute the value of h in the volume,

$V=4h^3-66h^2+252h$

When, h=2.45

$V=4(2.45)^3-66(2.45)^2+252(2.45)$

$V\approx 280.05$

When, h=8.54

$V=4(8.54)^3-66(8.54)^2+252(8.54)$

$V\approx -170.06$

Rejecting the negative volume as it is not possible.

Therefore, The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

The dimension of the box is

The height of the box is h=2.45

The length of the box is $L=21-2(2.45)=16.1$

The width of the box is $W=12-2(2.45)=7.1$

So, Dimension of the box is $16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45$

We wish to construct a 90% confidence interval on the mean of a population known to be normally distributed based on a sample of

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Margin of error = 0.773

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean = 8

Sample standard deviation = 2

90% Confidence interval

$\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 19 and}~\alpha_{0.10} = \pm 1.729$

Margin of error:

$t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$1.729(\frac{2}{\sqrt{20}} ) = 0.773$
