Answer:

The critical value is T = 1.895.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 8 - 1 = 6

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.895, which is the critical value.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.895\frac{18.36}{\sqrt{8}} = 12.301

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 60.46 - 12.301 = $48.159

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 60.46 + 12.301 = $72.761

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761

On Monday you sent x number of text messages. On Tuesday you sent twice as many. On Wednesday you sent 12 more texts than you se
kykrilka [37]

Answer: Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Tuesday = 2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Wednesday = 12+2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Thursday = x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of text messages sent on Monday = x

On Tuesday, Number of text messages sent  = 2 (Number of messages sent on Monday)

= 2 x

On Wednesday, Number of text messages sent  = 12+ (Number of messages sent on Tuesday)

= 12 +2x

On Thursday, Number of text messages sent  = \dfrac12(2x+12)

= x+6

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Tuesday = 2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Wednesday = 12+2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Thursday = x+6

State the linear programming problem in mathematical terms, identifying the objective function and the constraints. A firm makes
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Maximum profit at (3,0) is $27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  quantity of  products A=x

Quantity  of products B=y

Product A takes time on machine L=2 hours

Product A takes time on machine M=2 hours

Product B takes time on machineL= 4 hours

Product B takes time on machine M=3 hours

Machine L can used total time= 8hours

Machine M can used total time= 6hours

Profit on product A= $9

Profit on product B=$7

According to question

Objective function Z=9x+7y

Constraints:

2x+3y\leq 6

2x+4y\leq 8

Where x\geq 0, y\geq 0

I equation 2x+3y\leq 6

I equation in inequality change into equality we get

2x+3y=6

Put x=0 then we get

y=2

If we put y=0 then we get

x= 3

Therefore , we get two points A (0,2) and B (3,0) and plot the graph for equation I

Now put x=0 and y=0 in I equation in inequality

Then we get 0\leq 6

Hence, this equation is true then shaded regoin is  below the line .

Similarly , for II equation

First change inequality equation into equality equation

we get 2x+4y=8

Put x= 0 then we get

y=2

Put y=0 Then we get

x=4

Therefore, we get two points C(0,2)a nd D(4,0) and plot the graph for equation II

Point  A and C are same

Put x=0 and y=0 in the in inequality equation II then we get

0\leq 8

Hence, this equation is true .Therefore, the shaded region is below the line.

By graph we can see both line intersect at the points A(0,2)

The feasible region is AOBA and bounded.

To find the value of objective function on points

A (0,2), O(0,0) and B(3,0)

Put A(0,2)

Z= 9\times 0+7\times 2=14

At point O(0,0)

Z=0

At point B(3,0)

Z=9\times3+7\times0=27

Hence maximum value of z= 27 at point B(3,0)

Therefore, the maximum profit is $27.
