An independent group of food service personnel conducted a survey on tipping practices in a large metropolitan area. They collected information on the percentage of the bill left as a tip for 20 randomly selected bills. The average tip was 11.1% of the bill with a standard deviation of 2.8%. Assume that the tips are approximately normally distributed. Construct an interval to estimate the true average tip (as a percent of the bill) with 90% confidence. Round the endpoints to two decimal places, if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

Assuming that the tips are approximately normally distributed, an interval to estimate the true average tip (as a percent of the bill) with 90% confidence is (10.47, 11.73).

How to construct the confidence interval?

Assuming that the tips are approximately normally distributed, we would determine both the lower limit and upper limit for the confidence interval where 90% of the sample means occur as follows;

Lower limit = μ - σ/√x

Lower limit = 11.1 - 2.8/√20

Lower limit = 11.1 - 0.63

Lower limit = 10.47

For the upper limit, we have:

Upper limit = μ - σ/√x

Upper limit = 11.1 + 2.8/√20

Upper limit = 11.1 + 0.63

Upper limit = 11.73

For 90% of the sample means to occur, the confidence interval is as follows;

Confidence interval = (10.47, 11.73)

A marine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fish. She writes the following equation to show the length of the fish, f(m), in cm, after m months:

f(m) = 3(1.09)m

Part A: When the marine biologist concluded her study, the length of the fish was approximately 5.98 cm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function? (4 points)

Part B: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(m) represent? (2 points)

Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(m) from m = 2 to m = 8, and what does it represent?

Answers

f(m) = 3 * 1.09 * m = 3.27 * m

A:

solve f(m) = 5.98 to find how long it takes for fish to reach that length

5.98 = 3.27 * m

m = 5.98/3.27 = 1.83 months

A reasonable domain would technically depend on other factors like standard deviation, however, a domain of [0,3] could be reasonable without further information.

B:

The y intercept (0 because f(0)=0 ) represents the length of fish at the beginning of the marine biologists study, or when the number of months is zero

C:

Rate of change equals the change in y over the change in x.

[tex]\frac{f(8)-f(2)}{8-2}=\frac{26.16-6.54}{6}=\frac{19.62}{6}=3.27\frac{cm}{month}\\[/tex]

This represents the average number of cm the length of the fish change per month in the interval [2, 8]

State all integer values of a in the interval -2 ≤ x ≤ 4 that satisfy the following
inequality:
-5x+5 ≥7

Answers

Answer:  -2 and -1

Explanation

Solve for x:

[tex]-5\text{x}+5 \ge 7\\\\-5\text{x} \ge 7-5\\\\-5\text{x} \ge 2\\\\\text{x} \le 2/(-5)\\\\\text{x} \le -0.4\\\\[/tex]

Note the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.

If x is an integer, then the largest x can be is x = -1, which means x can be any of these values:  {..., -4, -3, -2, -1} where the three dots means the pattern continues on to the left forever. If it might help, then you can think of it like this: {-1, -2, -3, -4, ...} but it's of course not the standard way to sort negative numbers.

Now we're told that  -2 ≤ x ≤ 4 which when combined with the set above, gets us the answer {-2, -1}

If we replaced x with -2, then,

-5x+5 ≥7

-5(-2)+5 ≥7

10+5 ≥7

15 ≥7

which is true and confirms x = -2 works. I'll let you try out x = -1.

The point on the perpendicular bisector of the segment MN, M(7, 5), N(-1, 5), is (3, 9)

What is the perpendicular bisector of a line?

The perpendicular bisector of a segment, divides the segment into two segments that have the same length, and which forms an angle of 90° with the line.

The specified endpoints on the segment MN = M(7, 5), and N(-1, 5)

The y-coordinates of the points M and N are the same, therefore, the segment is an horizontal segment.

The midpoint of the line is therefore;

(7 + (-1 - 7)/2, 5 + (5 - 5)/2) = (3, 5)

The slope of the segment, MN, m = (5 - 5)/(-1 - 7) = 0

The slope of the perpendicular line is therefore;

-1/0 = ∞

The segment MN is parallel to the x-axis, therefore, the perpendicular bisector is parallel to the y-axis, and the x-values of points on the perpendicular bisector have the save value s the x-value of the midpoint of the segment MN, (3, 5), which is x = 3

The point that lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment MN from the options is therefore; (3, 9)

A mountainer climbed 1000' at a rate of X feet per hour. He climbed in additional 5000' at a different rate. This rate was 10' per hour less than twice the 1st rate. Which expression represents the number of hours to mountainer climbed?

Answers

The correct option for the equation is C.

What is equation?

An equation could be a formula that expresses the equality of 2 expressions, by connecting them with the sign =.

Main Body:

Using distance=rate multiplied by time as the  formula,  

mountaineer climbed 1,000 feet at a rate of x feet per hour  

1000 = xt₁           <--eq.1  

"He climbed an additional 5,000 feet at a different rate."  

5000 = x't₂         <--eq.2  

"This rate was 10 feet per hour less than twice the first rate."  

x' = 2x - 10 <--eq.3  

We now have 3 equations/expressions to solve for the number of hours:  

From eq. 1 and 2:  

Total time = t₁ +t₂ = t

t = 1000/x + 5000/x'  

but x' = 2x - 10  

t = 1000/x + 5000/(2x-10)  

t = 1000/x + 5000/[2(x-5)]  

t = 1000/x + 2500/(x-5)

Hence correct option is C.

Arrays can be passed as parameters to a function by value, but it is faster to pass them by reference. The given statement is False.

An array is a collection of items of same data type stored at contiguous memory locations. This makes it easier to calculate the position of each element by simply adding an offset to a base value, i.e., the memory location of the first element of the array.

In Pass by value, function is called by directly passing the value of the variable as an argument. So any changes made inside the function does not affect the original value.

In Pass by Reference, Function is called by directly passing the reference/address of the variable as an argument. So changing the value inside the function also change the original value.

When businesses in a cutthroat sector start making money, it opens the door for more businesses to enter the market, which leads to a shift to the right in the supply curve, a drop in price, and the return of all businesses to a state of no economic profit.

If the market price is lower than the average total cost, a company will experience positive economic profit in the short term.

Answers

By using the concept of growth and depreciation, it can be calculated that

1a) Amount of sample left after 15 years = 123.76 g

b) Time taken by the substance to reduce to half is 21.66 years

2) Amount is $1560.97

3) It took 11.94 years for $900 to get doubled

What is growth and depreciation?

Growth is the increase in the value of an asset or cost or population at a certain rate over a certain period of time

Depreciation is the decrease in the value of an asset or cost or population at a certain rate over a certain period of time

1) Original weight of the isotope = 200g

Function = [tex]200e^{-0.032t}[/tex]

a) Time  = 15 years

Amount of sample left after 15 years = [tex]200e^{-0.032 \times 15}[/tex] = 123.76 g

b) Amount left = 100g

100 = [tex]200e^{-0.032t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.032t} = \frac{100}{200}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.032t} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]-0.032t = ln(\frac{1}{2})\\-0.032t = -0.693\\t = \frac{0.693}{0.032}\\[/tex]

t = 21.66 years

2) Principal = $1100

   Rate = 5%

    Time = 7 years

  Amount =  [tex]1100e^{\frac{5}{100} \times 7}\\[/tex]

                  = [tex]1100e^{0.35}[/tex]

                  = $1560.97

3) Principal = $900

   Amount = $900 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = $1800

   1800 = [tex]900(1 + \frac{6}{1200})^{12n}[/tex]

    [tex]\frac{1800}{900} = (\frac{201}{200})^{12n}[/tex]

     [tex](\frac{201}{200})^{12n} = 2[/tex]

     [tex]12n \times log(1.005) = log 2\\12n \times 0.0021 = 0.3010\\n = \frac{0.3010}{12 \times 0.0021}\\[/tex]

     n = 11.94 years
