Find the value of x that maximized the volume of the following:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]2 years ago
5 0

Check the picture below.

as you can see, the graph of the volume function comes from below goes up up up, reaches a U-turn then goes down down, U-turns again then back up to infinity.

the maximum is reached at the close up you see in the picture on the right-side.

Why we don't use a higher value from the graph since it's going to infinity?

well, "x" is constrained by the lengths of the box, specifically by the length of the smaller side, namely 5 - 2x, so whatever "x" is, it can't never zero out the smaller side, and that'd happen when x = 2.5, how so? well 5 - 2(2.5) = 0, so "x" whatever value is may be, must be less than 2.5, but more than 0, and within those constraints the maximum you see in the picture is obtained.

An organization has members who possess IQs in the top 4% of the population. If IQs are normally distributed, with a mean of 100
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The minimum IQ score will be "126".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Mean

\mu = 100

Standard deviation

\sigma=15

Now,

⇒ P(z>x)=4 \ percent \ i.e., 0.04

⇒ P(z>\frac{x- \mu}{\sigma} )=0.04

⇒ 1-P(z \leq \frac{x-100}{15})=0.04

⇒ \frac{x-100}{15}=z0.96

            =NORMDIS(z=0.96)

            =1.751

⇒ x=100+15\times 1.751

      =126.265 \ i.e., 126

n200080 [17]

Answer: 3/8

Step-by-step explanation: If you put it into the slope formula, you would get 18 - 9 / 19 - (-5) which simplifies to 9/24 and then to 3/8.

Will improving customer service result in higher stock prices for the companies providing the better service? "When a company’s
Orlov [11]

Question:

Company                           2007 Score          2008 Score

Rite Aid                                73                          76

Expedia                                75                          77

J.C. Penney                          77                          78

a. For Rite Aid, is the increase in the satisfaction score from 2007 to 2008 statistically  significant? Use α= .05. What can you conclude?

b. Can you conclude that the 2008 score for Rite Aid is above the national average of  75.7? Use α= .05.

c. For Expedia, is the increase from 2007 to 2008 statistically significant? Use α= .05.

d. When conducting a hypothesis test with the values given for the standard deviation,

sample size, and α, how large must the increase from 2007 to 2008 be for it to be statistically  significant?

e. Use the result of part (d) to state whether the increase for J.C. Penney from 2007 to  2008 is statistically significant.

Answer:

a. There is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the increase in satisfaction score for Rite Aid from 2007 to 2008 is statistically significant

b. There is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the 2008 Rite Aid score, is above the national average of 75.7

c. The statistical evidence support the claim of a significant increase from 2007 to 2008

d. 1.802 and above is significant

e. The increase of J. C. Penney from 2007 is not statistically significant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

n = 60

σ = 6

μ₁ = 73

μ₂ = 76

We put H₀ : μ₁ ≥ μ₂ and

Hₐ : μ₁ < μ₂

From which we have;

z=\frac{(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2})}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}} = \frac{(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2})}{\sqrt{\frac{2\sigma_{}^{2} }{n_{}}}}}

Plugging in the values we have

z =  \frac{(73-76)}{\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6^{2} }{60_{}}}}} = -2.7386

The probability, P from z function computation gives;

P(Z < -2.7386) = 0.0031

Where we have P < α, we reject the null hypothesis meaning that there is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the increase in satisfaction score for Rite Aid from 2007 to 2008 is statistically significant

b. To test here, we have

H₀ : μ ≤ 75.7

Hₐ : μ > 75.7

The test statistic is given as follows;

z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}} = \frac{76-75.7 }{\frac{6 }{\sqrt{60}}} = 0.3873

Therefore, we have the probability, P given as the value for the function at z = 0.3873 that is we have;

P = P(Z > 0.3873) = P(Z < -0.3873) = 0.3493

Therefore, since P > α which is 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, that is there is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the 2008 Rite Aid score, is above the national average of 75.7

c. Here we put

Null hypothesis H₀ : μ₁ ≥ μ₂

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ : μ₁ < μ₂

The test statistic is given by the following equation;

z=\frac{(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2})}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}} = \frac{(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2})}{\sqrt{\frac{2\sigma_{}^{2} }{n_{}}}}}

Plugging in the values we have

z =  \frac{(75-77)}{\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6^{2} }{60_{}}}}} = -1.8257

The probability, P from z function computation gives;

P(Z < -1.8257) = 0.03394

The statistical evidence support the claim of a significant increase

d. For statistical significance at 0.05 significant level, we have z = -1.644854

Therefore, from;

z=\frac{(\bar{x_{1}}-\bar{x_{2}})-(\mu_{1}-\mu _{2} )}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\frac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}. we have;

z \times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}} + (\mu_{1}-\mu _{2} )}{} ={(\bar{x_{1}}-\bar{x_{2}})

Which gives

{(\bar{x_{1}}-\bar{x_{2}}) = z \times \sqrt{\frac{2\sigma_{}^{2} }{n_{}}}} + (\mu_{1}-\mu _{2} )}{}  = -1.644854 \times \sqrt{\frac{2\times 6_{}^{2} }{60_{}}}} + 0 = -1.802

Therefore an increase of 1.802 and above is significant

e. Based on the result of part d. we have for J.C. Penney from 2007 to 2008 an increase of 1  which is less than 1.802 at 5% significant level, is not significant.

If the original quantity is 10 and the new quantity is 6, what is percent increase
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Using the percentage difference formula you can find the percentage decrease.

SO its

100(new-old/new)

So we solve

10-6=4

4/10= 2/5

2/5*100=200/5

40

40 percent decrease
