A rectangular poster is to contain 722 square inches of print. the margins at the top and bottom of the poster are to be 2 inche

Delvig [45]

Let
x ----------> the height of the whole poster
y ----------> the width of the whole poster

We need to minimize the area A=x*y

we know that
(x-4)*(y-2)=722
(y-2)=722/(x-4)
(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

so
A(x)=x*y--------->A(x)=x*{[722/(x-4)]+2}
Need to minimize this function over x > 4

find the derivative------> A1 (x)
A1(x)=2*[8x²-8x-1428]/[(x-4)²]

for A1(x)=0
8x²-8x-1428=0
using a graph tool
gives x=13.87 in

(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

y=[2x+714]/[x-4]-----> y=[2*13.87+714]/[13.87-4]-----> y=75.15 in

the answer is
the dimensions of the poster will be
the height of the whole poster is 13.87 in
the width of the whole poster is 75.15 in

What is the average of the four smallest of integers ?

Elanso [62]

This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 59.5 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The pvalue of the test is 0.0124 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level to support the testing firm's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 59.5 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is the same, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 59.5$

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that it is different, that is:

$H_a: \mu \neq 59.5$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

59.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 59.5$

After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 59.2. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.9.

This means that $n = 250, X = 59.2, \sigma = 1.9$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{59.2 - 59.5}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{250}}}$

$z = -2.5$

Pvalue of the test and decision:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of finding a mean that differs from 59.5 by at least 0.3, which is P(|Z|>-2.5), which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of Z = -2.5.

Looking at the z-table, Z = -2.5 has a pvalue of 0.0062

2*0.0062 = 0.0124

The pvalue of the test is 0.0124 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level to support the testing firm's claim.

Amy ordered 6 meals from Food Hub that cost $13.95 each, and she was charged a $10.50 delivery fee.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Amy had to pay in total 94.20$ for the meals with delivery

Step-by-step explanation:

6 total meals

6 x 13.95$ = 83.70$ The money payed for the food without the delivery

83.70 + 10.50 = 94.20$ Meals + delivery
