A company sells its products to distributors and boxes of 10 units each. it's profits can be modeled by this equation, where p is the profit after selling n boxes.

p = -n² + 300n + 100,000

Use this equation to complete the statement.

The company breaks even, meaning the profits are only $0, when it sells _____ boxes.

Options for Blank:

A: 200 or 500

B: 500

C: 150

D: 200​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit made by a company modeled by the function

p = -n² + 300n + 100,000

The company breaks even when p = 0

To get the number of boxes sold when the company breaks even, we will substitute p = 0 into the equation.

0 = -n² + 300n + 100,000

multiply through by -1

0 = n² - 300n - 100,000

n² - 300n - 100,000 = 0

(n² - 500n) + (200n - 100,000) = 0

n(n-500)+200(n-500) = 0

(n+200)(n-500) = 0

n+200 = 0 and n-500 = 0

n = -200 and n = 500

Since n cannot be negative

Hence n = 500

This means that the company breaks even when it sells 500 boxes

For a certain type of sand, 1 cubic foot weighs 80 pounds. The sand goes in a container that weighs 40 pounds. Use the Ray tool to make a graph that shows the total weight of the container and sand, w, filled with n cubic feet of this sand. I need the coordinates for the graph please.

Answers

Answer:

First, let's write our equation in a general way.

We know that:

1 cubic foot weighs 80 pounds.

The container weighs 40 pounds.

Then, if i put n cubic feet of sand in the container, the total mass will be one time the mass of the container plus n times the mass of one cubic foot of sand.

We can write this as:

w(n) = 40lb + n*80lb

This is a linear equation, where the y-axis will represent the mass in pounds and the x-axis will be the number of cubic feet of sand in the container in units, a graph of this is shown below.

You can see that it is really steep, this is because for really small increments in n, the weight increases a lot.

Anna is in a cave 42 feet below the cave entrance. She descends 10 feet, then ascends 15 feet. Find her new position relative to the cave entrance.

Answers

Answer:

Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ The cave entrance is the zero position

∵ Anna is in 42 feet below the cave entrance

→ Below zero means negative

Anna is in -42 feet

∵ She descends 10 feet

Descend means negative

She is in -42 + -10 = -52 feet

∵ She ascends 15 feet

Ascend means positive

She is in -52 + 15 = -37 feet

→ -37 means she is in below the cave entrance by 37 feet

Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance

The distribution of pH levels for all community swimming pools in a large county is approximately normal with mean 7.5 and standard deviation 0.2. According to swimming pool studies, the safest pH levels for water in swimming pools are between 7.2 and 7.8. (a) One community swimming pool in the county will be selected at random. What is the probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe

Answers

Answer:

The  value is  [tex]P(A) =  0.133617[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  mean is  [tex]\mu =  7.5[/tex]

  The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma  =  0.2[/tex]

  The safest water level is  between  7.2 and  7.8

Generally the probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(A) =  1 - P(7.2 \le X  \le 7.8 )[/tex]

Here  

      [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - \mu }{\sigma } <  \frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma } <\frac{ 7.8 - \mu }{\sigma }   )[/tex]

Generally [tex]\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma } =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value  \  of  X )[/tex]

So

 [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - 7.5 }{0.2 } < Z <\frac{ 7.8 - 7.5 }{0.2 }   )[/tex]    

 [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(-1.5 < Z <1.5)[/tex]  

=>  [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(Z <  1.5) - P(  Z < - 1.5) [/tex]

From the z-table the probability of  (Z <  -1.5) and   (  Z <1.5)  are

    [tex]P(Z <  1.5) =  0.93319[/tex]

and  

    [tex]P(Z <  -1.5) =  0.066807[/tex]

So

      [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) =0.93319 - 0.066807 [/tex]

       [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) =0.0866383[/tex]

So

   [tex]P(A) =  1 - 0.0866383[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(A) =  0.133617[/tex]

The probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe pool is 0.1336

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{\mu = 7.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\sigma = 0.2}[/tex]

Start by calculating the probability that a pool is safe.

This is represented as: P(7.2 < x < 7.8)

Calculate the z-scores for x =7.2 and 7.8 using:

[tex]\mathbf{z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{z = \frac{7.2 - 7.5}{0.2} = -1.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{z = \frac{7.8 - 7.5}{0.2} = 1.5}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) = P(-1.5 < z < 1.5)}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) = P(z < 1.5) - P(z < -1.5)}[/tex]

Using z table of probabilities, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) =0.9332 - 0.0668}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) =0.8664}[/tex]

The probability that the pool is not safe is calculated using the following complement formula

[tex]\mathbf{P(Not\ Safe) = 1 - P(Safe)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(Not\ Safe) = 1 -0.8664}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(Not\ Safe) = 0.1336}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the pool is not safe is 0.1336

Low‑density lipoprotein, or LDL, is the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. This is why LDL is known as "bad cholesterol." LDL is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood, or mg/dL. In a population of adults at risk for cardiovascular problems, the distribution of LDL levels is normal, with a mean of 123 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 41 mg/dL. If an individual's LDL is at least 1 standard deviation or more above the mean, he or she will be monitored carefully by a doctor. What percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean?

Answers

Answer:

The percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean is 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the LDL levels.

It is provided that [tex]X\sim N(123, 41^{2})[/tex].

Compute the probability that a randomly selected individual is will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq \mu+\sigma)=P(X\geq 123+41)[/tex]

                      [tex]=P(X\geq 164)\\\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{164-123}{41})\\\\=P(Z>1)\\\\=1-P(Z<1)\\\\=1-0.84134\\\\=0.15866\\\\\approx 0.16[/tex]

Thus, the percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean is 16%.

Candice is preparing for her final exam in Statistics. She knows she needs an 65 out of 100 to earn an A overall in the course. Her instructor provided the following information to the students. On the final, 200 students have taken it with a mean score of 57 and a standard deviation of 6. Assume the distribution of scores is bell-shaped. Calculate to see if a score of 65 is within one standard deviation of the mean.

Answers

Answer:

a. 72

b. 816

c. 570

d. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph is a bell - shaped curve. So, we understand that this is a normal distribution and that the bell - shaped curve is a symmetric curve.

Please refer the figure for a better understanding.

a. In a normal distribution, Mean = Median = Mode

Therefore, Median = Mean = 72

b. We have to know that 68% of the values are within the first standard deviation of the mean.

i.e., 68% values are between Mean  Standard Deviation (SD).

Scores between 63 and 81 :

Note that 72 - 9 = 63 and

72 + 9 = 81

This implies scores between 63 and 81 constitute 68% of the values, 34% each, since the curve is symmetric.

Now, Scores between 63 and 81 =  

= 68 X 12 = 816.

That means 816 students have scored between 63 and 81.

c. We have to know that 95% of the values lie between second Standard Deviation of the mean.

i.e., 95% values are between Mean  2(SD).

Note that 90 = 72 + 2(9) = 72 + 18

Also, 54 = 63 - 18.

Scores between 54 and 90 totally constitute 95% of the values. So, Scores between 72 and 90 should amount to  of the values.

Therefore, Scores between 72 and 90 =  

= 570.

That is a total of 570 students scored between 72 and 90.

d. We have to know that 5 % of the values lie on the thirst standard Deviation of the mean.

In this case, 5 % of the values lie between below 54 and above 90.

Since, we are asked to find scores below 54. It should be 2.5% of the values.

So, Scores below 54 =  

= 2.5 X 12 = 30.

That is, 30 students have scored below 54.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is found that score of 62 is not within one standard deviation of the mean.

What is z - score?

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

If we have  [tex]X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)[/tex]then it can be converted to standard normal distribution as

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, \\\\Z \sim N(0,1)[/tex]

In a set with mean and standard deviation, the z- score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma},[/tex]

Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score.

Given that Mean score of 54 and a standard deviation of 6.

This means to see if a score of 62 is within one standard deviation of the mean.

Is Z between -1 and 1 when X = 62.

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma},\\Z = \dfrac{62 - 54}{6},[/tex]

Z = 1.33

Therefore, It is found that score of 62 is not within one standard deviation of the mean.

X is equal to 5. Hope this helps and have a good day. Also, A Brainliest would be much appreciated

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Exterior Angle Theorem.

The E.A.T states that the measurement of an exterior angle is found by adding the two opposite and non-adjacent interior angles.

In this case, the Exterior Angle is 121. The sum can be found by combining 17x - 4 and 8x. Set the equation:

17x - 4 + 8x = 121

First, combine like terms:

17x + 8x - 4 = 121

(17x + 8x) - 4 = 121

(25x) - 4 = 121

Next, Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 4 to both sides of the equation:

25x - 4 (+4) = 121 (+4)

25x = 121 + 4

25x = 125

Next, divide 25 from both sides:

(25x)/25 = (125)/25

x = 125/25

x = 5

5 is your value for x.
