Using proportions, the expected number of adults in Palm City whose main source of news is the internet or newspaper is of 19,413.

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

From the table, the proportion of adults in Palm City whose main source of news is the internet or newspaper is found as follows:

p = (62 + 88)/(62 + 88 + 128 +24 + 38) = 0.4412.

Answer:27 < AB < 81

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

27 < AB < 81

Step-by-step explanation:

in a triangle the sum of any 2 sides must be larger than the third side.

that must be true for every pair of sides you pick.

simply because, if that is not fulfilled, the third side would be too long, and the other 2 sides cannot connect to the endpoints of the third side.

so,

AC + CB = 81 must be longer than AB. otherwise the triangle cannot "close".

AC + AB = 27 + AB must be longer than CB = 54.

so, AB must be longer than 27.

CB + AB = 54 + AB must be longer than AC = 27. but that is always true, as CB alone is already larger.

so only the other 2 conditions need to be true.

hence the answer.

If the value of μ is 65, σ is 5 and z is 1.14 then the value of possible voter age would be 70.6 years.

Given that value of μ is 65, σ is 5 and z is 1.14.

We have to calculate the possible voter age that can satisfy the given values of σ,μ and z.

We know that in z test,

z=X-μ/σ

in which μ is population mean,σ is population standard deviation.

We have to just put the values in the above formula to get the value of X which is our possible voter age.

Putting the values we get,

Answer:

Answer C: m = 26, f = 22

there is a typo in answer D.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 vehicles, so m + f = 48.

They have 140 wheels, so 2m+4f = 140.

You can rewrite the first as m = 48-f and then plug it into the second:

2(48-f) + 4f = 140 =>

96 - 2f + 4f = 140 =>

2f = 140 - 96 =>

2f = 44

f = 22

m = 48 - 22 = 26

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m = motorcycles and c = cars

m + c = 48                 2m + 4c = 140

m + c  = 48  Multiple this equation through by -2

-2m -2c = -96  Add this to the second equation above

2m +4c = 140

        2c = 44  Divide both sides by 2

          c  = 22.  There are 22 cars.  Plug this back into the top equation to find the number of motorcycles.

m + c = 48

m + 22 = 48 Subtract 22 from both sides

m = 26

The arithmetic average return is probably too high for longer periods and the geometric average is probably too low for shorter periods.

When we look at historical returns, the difference between the geometric and arithmetic average returns isn't too hard to understand.

To put it slightly differently, the geometric average tells you what you actually earned per year on average, compounded annually. The arithmetic average tells you what you earned in a typical year. You should use whichever one answers the question you want answered. A somewhat trickier question concerns forecasting the future, and there's a lot of confusion about this point among analysts and financial planners.

Now, If we have estimates of both the arithmetic and geometric average returns, then the arithmetic average is probably too high for longer periods and the geometric average is probably too low for shorter periods.

The ys have to have the same value. That allows you to equate the right side of each y to each other.

-x^2 + 4 = 2x + 1                             Subtract the right side from the left side.

-x^2 + 4 - 2x - 1 = 2x-2x +1 - 1        Combine

-x^2 - 2x + 3 = 0                            Multiply both sides by - 1

-1(-x^2 -  2x + 3) = 0*-1                    Remove the brackets

x^2 + 2x - 3                                   Factor

(x - 1)(x + 3 )

x - 1 = 0

x =   1

x + 3 = 0

x = - 3

So the line goes through x = 1 or x = - 3

x = 1

y = 2x + 1

y = 2(1) + 1

y = 3

x = - 3

y = 2(-3) + 1

y = - 6 + 1

y = - 5

b) The approximate area below the curve using ten rectangles is 1320 square units.

c) The approximate area below the curve using infinite number of rectangles is 1333.333 square units.

In this problem we must estimate the value of the area below the curve by finite number of rectangles using Riemann sums, whose expression is:

A ≈ [(b - a) / n] · ∑ f[a + i · (b - a) / n], for i = {0, 1, 2, 3, ..., n - 1}     (1)

Where:

The approximate area below the curve using five rectangles is: f(x) = 20 · x - x², a = 0, b = 20, n = 5

A ≈ [(20 - 0) / 5] · ∑ f[0 + i · (20 - 0) / 5]

A ≈ 4 · ∑ f(4 · i)

A ≈ 4 · [f(0) + f(4) + f(8) + f(12) + f(16)]

f(0) = 20 · 0 - 0² = 0

f(4) = 20 · 4 - 4² = 64

f(8) = 20 · 8 - 8² = 96

f(12) = 20 · 12 - 12² = 96

f(16) = 20 · 16 - 16² = 64

A ≈ 4 · (0 + 64 + 96 + 96 + 64)

A ≈ 1280

And using ten rectangles:

A ≈ [(20 - 0) / 10] · ∑ f[0 + i · (20 - 0) / 10]

A ≈ 2 · ∑ f(2 · i)

A ≈ 2 · [f(0) + f(2) + f(4) + f(6) + f(8) + f(10) + f(12) + f(14) + f(16) + f(18)]

f(0) = 20 · 0 - 0² = 0

f(2) = 20 · 2 - 2² = 36

f(4) = 20 · 4 - 4² = 64

f(6) = 20 · 6 - 6² = 84

f(8) = 20 · 8 - 8² = 96

f(10) = 20 · 10 - 10² = 100

f(12) = 20 · 12 - 12² = 96

f(14) = 20 · 14 - 14² = 84

f(16) = 20 · 16 - 16² = 64

f(18) = 20 · 18 - 18² = 36

A ≈ 2 · (0 + 36 + 64 + 84 + 96 + 100 + 96 + 84 + 64 + 36)

A ≈ 1320

And using infinite rectangles:

A ≈ [(b - a) / n] · ∑ f[a + i · (b - a) / n]

A ≈ (20 / n) · ∑ [20 · (20 / n) · i - (20 / n)² · i²]

A ≈ (20 / n) · ∑ [400 · i / n - 400 · i² / n²]

A ≈ ∑ (8000 · i / n² - 8000 · i² / n³)

A ≈ (8000 / n²) · ∑ i - (8000 / n³) · ∑ i²

A ≈ (8000 / n²) · [n · (n + 1) / 2] - (8000 / n³) · [n · (n + 1) · (2 · n + 1) / 6]

A ≈ (8000 / n²) · [(n² + n) / 2] - (8000 / n³) · [(n² + n) · (2 · n + 1) / 6]

A ≈ 4000 · (n² + 2) / n² - (8000 / n³) · [(2 · n³ + 3 · n² + n) / 6]

A ≈ 4000 · (1 + 2 / n²) - (4000 / 3) · [2 + 3 · (1 / n) + (1 / n²)]

Answer:

26 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

this is like a rectangle length×width situation.

seats per row = s

number of rows = r

s × r = 884

s = r + 8

so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :

(r + 8) × r = 884

r² + 8r = 884

r² + 8r - 884 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = r

a = 1

b = 8

c = -884

r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =

= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =

= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30

r1 = -4 + 30 = 26

r2 = -4 - 30 = -34

a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.

The ratio is the division of the two numbers.

For example, a/b where a will be the numerator and b will be the denominator.

Proportion is the relation of a variable with another. It could be direct or inverse.

Given that in the question hard-centred and soft-centred chocolates in the ratio 5 : 2

Hard centred/ Soft centred = 5/2

And total

Hard centred + Soft centred = 49

Now let say hard centred is H and soft centred S

H/S = 5/2 and H + S = 49

Now H = (5/2)S put into second equation

(5/2)S + S = 49

S(7/2) = 49

S = 14 now put into second equation

H + 14 = 49 = 35 hence hard centred will be 35 and soft centred will be 14.
