a bed cost $1500 cash, but on hired purchase one must pay $250 down payment and $140 every month for a year. how much interest does one pay if one were to buy the bed on hire purchased?​

The test statistic is 1.177, and the p-value is approximately 0.120, which is greater than the significance level of 0.05, indicating that there is not enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of defective circuit boards is greater than 3%.

To test the hypothesis that more than 3% of circuit boards are defective, we can use a one-tailed test with the following null and alternative hypotheses:

[tex]H_0[/tex]: p ≤ 0.03 (proportion of defective boards is less than or equal to 3%)

[tex]H_a[/tex]: p > 0.03 (proportion of defective boards is greater than 3%)

where p is the true proportion of defective boards in the population.

To calculate the test statistic, we can use the following formula:

z = (p-cap - p0) / √(p0(1-p0)/n)

where p is the sample proportion of defective boards, p0 is the hypothesized proportion (0.03), and n is the sample size.

In this case, we have p-cap = 0.04, p0 = 0.03, and n = 100, so the test statistic is:

z = (0.04 - 0.03) / √(0.03(1-0.03)/100) = 1.177

To determine the p-value associated with this test statistic, we can use a standard normal distribution table or a calculator to find the probability of observing a z-value of 1.177 or greater under the null hypothesis. This probability is approximately 0.120, which is the area to the right of z = 1.177 on the standard normal distribution curve.

Since this p-value is greater than the common significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 60% of a number is 80, find 6% of that number.

a) The elasticity of the demand function q = 800 - x is -x / (800 - x)².

b) At x = 3, the elasticity of the demand function q = 800 - x is approximately -0.0000465.

(a) To find the elasticity of the demand function q = 800 - x, we first need to calculate the derivative of q with respect to x:

dq/dx = -1

Next, we can use the formula for elasticity:

E = (dq/dx) * (x/q)

Substituting the values of dq/dx and q, we get:

E = (-1) * (x/(800-x))

Simplifying this expression, we get:

E = -x / (800 - x)²

(b) To find the elasticity at x = 3, we substitute x = 3 into the expression we derived for E:

E = -(3) / (800 - 3)² = -0.0000465

Therefore, the elasticity at x = 3 is approximately -0.0000465.

Note that since the elasticity is negative, this indicates that the demand is inelastic, meaning that a change in price will have a relatively small effect on the quantity demanded.

(a)  The probability of rolling at least one 6 is approximately 0.665, or about 66.5%.

(b)  The probability of rolling 5 different numbers is approximately 0.0772, or about 7.72%.

(a) To calculate the probability of rolling at least one 6 in 6 rolls of a fair die, we can use the complement rule: the probability of the complement (rolling no 6s) is easier to calculate, and then we subtract that from 1.

The probability of rolling no 6s in a single roll is 5/6, so the probability of rolling no 6s in 6 rolls is (5/6)^6.

Therefore,  probability of rolling at least one 6 in 6 rolls is:

1 - (5/6)^6 ≈ 0.665

So the probability of rolling at least one 6 is approximately 0.665, or about 66.5%.

(b) To calculate the probability of rolling 5 different numbers in 6 rolls of a die, we can use the formula for combinations. There are 6 possible numbers that could be rolled first, 5 possible numbers that could be rolled second (since we want 5 different numbers), and so on down to 2 possible numbers that could be rolled fifth.

For the sixth roll, any of the 5 previous numbers would result in 5 different numbers, so there are 5 choices. Therefore, the total number of ways to roll 5 different numbers is:

6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 5 = 3600

To find the probability, we divide this by the total number of possible outcomes for rolling a die 6 times, which is 6^6 = 46656. Therefore, the probability of rolling 5 different numbers in 6 rolls of a die is:

3600/46656 ≈ 0.0772

So the probability of rolling 5 different numbers is approximately 0.0772, or about 7.72%.

The autonomous differential equation dp/dt = p(a + bp) has a solution that is increasing if -a/b < P < 0 (option c). This is because the rate of change of P (dp/dt) is positive when -a/b < P < 0, leading to an increasing solution.

The given differential equation is autonomous, which means it does not explicitly depend on time 't'. We can find the equilibrium solutions by setting dp/dt = 0. So, we have p(a+bp) = 0, which gives p = 0 and p = -a/b as equilibrium solutions.

Now, we can analyze the behavior of the solution by considering the sign of dp/dt for different values of p.

For p < -a/b, we have a+bp < 0, which implies dp/dt < 0. So, the solution is decreasing in this region.

For -a/b < p < 0, we have a+bp > 0, which implies dp/dt > 0. So, the solution is increasing in this region.

For p > 0, we have a+bp > 0, which implies dp/dt > 0. So, the solution is increasing in this region.

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) increasing if -a/b < p < 0.

The sum of the resulting limits of integration is:

Assuming the limits of integration for the first integral are 0 to Jo for y and some limits for x.

The limits for the second integral are also 0 to Jo for y and the same limits for x, we can combine the integrals as follows:

3∫∫ f(x,y) dy dx + 3∫∫ f(x,y) dy dx

= 3∫∫ f(x,y) + f(x,y) dy dx (by combining the two integrals)

= 6∫∫ f(x,y) dy dx

Now, to switch the order of integration, we need to express the limits of integration of y in terms of x. Let's assume the limits of integration for x are a to b:

6∫∫ f(x,y) dy dx = 6∫[a,b]∫[0,Jo] f(x,y) dy dx

We can integrate with respect to y first, then with respect to x, so:

6∫[a,b]∫[0,Jo] f(x,y) dy dx = 6∫[a,b] (∫[0,Jo] f(x,y) dy) dx

The limits of integration for y are constant, so we can take them out of the inner integral:

6∫[a,b] (∫[0,Jo] f(x,y) dy) dx = 6∫[a,b] f(x,y) * Jo|0 dx

The limits of integration for x are a to b, and the limits for y are 0 to Jo, so the sum of the resulting limits of integration is:

Answer: The answer is Sample D

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size must be at least 12.

The formula for the standard error of the mean is:

[tex]SE = \sigma / \sqrt(n)[/tex]

where SE is the standard error, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

In this case, we are given that the population mean is 100 and the population variance is 25. Therefore, the population standard deviation is:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt(\sigma^2) = \sqrt(25) = 5[/tex]

We want the standard error of the mean to be 1.5, so we can set up the following equation:

[tex]1.5 = 5 / \sqrt(n)[/tex]

Solving for n, we get:

[tex]\sqrt(n) = 5 / 1.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt(n) = 3.33[/tex]

[tex]n = (3.33)^2[/tex]

n = 11.0889

Geometric mean (G(n)): It is defined as the square root of the product of all the positive factors of n. In other words, G(n) = √(f1 * f2 * f3 * ... * fn), where fi represents the positive factors of n.

Arithmetic mean (A(n)): It is defined as the sum of all the positive factors of n divided by the total number of factors. In other words, A(n) = (f1 + f2 + f3 + ... + fn) / k, where fi represents the positive factors of n and k represents the total number of factors.

To determine when G(n) is an integer, we need to find values of n for which all the factors of n can be paired such that each pair multiplies to an integer.

For example, if n has four factors (f1, f2, f3, f4), and we can pair them as (f1 * f4) and (f2 * f3), such that both products are integers, then G(n) would be an integer.

This condition can be satisfied when n is a perfect square, as each factor will have an even count and can be paired.

To find values of n for which A(n) is an integer, we need to determine when the sum of all the factors of n is divisible by the total number of factors (k).

This condition can be satisfied when n has an odd number of factors, as the sum of factors will always be an integer and can be divided evenly by k.

To determine when A(n) is equal to 6 or 124, we need to find values of n for which the sum of all the factors of n is equal to 6k or 124k, where k is a positive integer.

This condition can be satisfied when n is a multiple of 6 or 124, respectively.

During the process of solving these problems, interesting conjectures may arise, such as the conjecture that G(n) is an integer if and only if n is a perfect square, and that A(n) is an integer if and only if n has an odd number of factors.

These conjectures can be proved using mathematical reasoning and properties of factors and means.

The probability of obtaining a sum less than or equal to 4 is:  1/12

An experiment consists of tossing two ordinary dice and adding their numbers together. To determine the probability of obtaining a sum of 8, we need to first count the number of ways we can get a sum of 8. We can do this by listing all the possible combinations of dice rolls that add up to 8:

2+6, 3+5, 4+4, 5+3, 6+2

So there are 5 ways to get a sum of 8.

Next, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes for this experiment. Each die has 6 sides, so there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes.

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a sum of 8 is:

Number of ways to get a sum of 8 / Total number of possible outcomes = 5/36

Now let's determine the probability of obtaining a sum less than or equal to 4. We can use the same method as before:

In mathematics, a (real) interval is a set of real numbers that includes all the real numbers between two numbers in the set. For example, the set x of numbers satisfying 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 is the range containing 0, 1, and every number in between. Other examples of ranges are the set of numbers such as 0 < x < 1, the set of all real numbers {R}, the set of negative numbers, positive real numbers, free space, and a singular (similar sets).

Real numbers play an important role together because they are the simplest numbers whose "length" (or "measure" or "size") is easy to define. The concept of measure can be extended to more complex real numbers, giving rise to the Boral measure and eventually the Lebesgue measure.

To determine the percentile, we need to first arrange the data in order from smallest to largest

11, 24, 28, 33, 37, 46, 64, 72

a) To find the 20th percentile, we need to first determine the rank of this percentile.

The formula for rank is given by:

Rank = (percentile/100) x (number of observations + 1)

So for the 20th percentile, we have:

Rank = (20/100) x (8+1) = 1.8

This tells us that the 20th percentile lies between the 1st and 2nd observations. To find the actual value, we can use linear interpolation

Value = 11 + 0.8 x (24 - 11) = 11 + 0.8 x 13 = 21.4

Therefore, the 20th percentile is 21.4.

b) To find the 40th percentile, we use the same formula:

Rank = (40/100) x (8+1) = 3.6

This tells us that the 40th percentile lies between the 3rd and 4th observations. Using linear interpolation:

Value = 28 + 0.6 x (33 - 28) = 28 + 0.6 x 5 = 31

Therefore, the 40th percentile is 31.

c) To find the 70th percentile, we use the same formula:

Rank = (70/100) x (8+1) = 6.3

This tells us that the 70th percentile lies between the 6th and 7th observations. Using linear interpolation:

Value = 64 + 0.3 x (72 - 64) = 64 + 0.3 x 8 = 66.4

The mean of the variable given in the question is Option A. 41.6.

To find the mean of the variable, we need to multiply each range of weekly hours worked by its corresponding probability, then sum all of the results.

The calculations are as follows:

(23 * 0.08) + (36 * 0.10) + (43 * 0.74) + (54 * 0.08) = 41.6

Therefore, the mean of the variable is Option A. 41.6.

In this case, the probabilities for each range of weekly hours worked to represent the likelihood of an employee working within that range. For example, the probability of an employee working between 41-50 hours is 0.74, which is quite high compared to the other ranges. As a result, this range has a larger impact on the overall mean of the variable.

It is important to calculate the mean of a variable as it helps in understanding the central tendency of a distribution. In this case, the mean helps us to understand the average number of weekly hours worked by employees, which can be useful in making decisions related to employee scheduling, workload management, and compensation.

To show that the function f(n) is primitive recursive, we need to demonstrate that it can be defined using basic primitive recursive functions (zero, successor, and projection functions) and can be composed or recursed using only primitive recursive function schemes.

Given the definition of f(n), we can write it as:
- f(0) = 0
- f(1) = 1
- f(2) = 2²
- f(3) = (3³)³
- ...

We can observe that f(n) is defined as a stack of exponentiation operations with the base and the exponent both being n. We can use the following recursive formula to define f(n):

- f(0) = 0


We know that exponentiation is primitive recursive, as it can be defined using multiplication, which is also primitive recursive. We can define exponentiation recursively as:

Answer:

We can evaluate this integral using trigonometric substitution. Let x = 8 sin(θ). Then dx = 8 cos(θ) dθ. Substituting gives us:

```

∫√1−64x2dx = ∫√1−64(8sin(θ))^2(8cos(θ))dθ = ∫√1−64sin^2(θ)cos(θ)dθ

```

We can now use the identity sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1 to simplify this integral:

```

∫√1−64sin^2(θ)cos(θ)dθ = ∫√cos^2(θ)cos(θ)dθ = ∫8cos^3(θ)dθ

```

We can now integrate using the power rule:

```

∫8cos^3(θ)dθ = 8cos^4(θ)/4 + C = 2cos^4(θ) + C

```

To reverse the substitution, we need to solve for θ in terms of x. We have:

```

x = 8sin(θ)

```

```

sin(θ) = x/8

```

```

θ = sin^-1(x/8)

```

Substituting gives us:

```

2cos^4(θ) + C = 2cos^4(sin^-1(x/8)) + C

```

```

= 2(1 - sin^2(sin^-1(x/8)))^2 + C

```

```

= 2(1 - (x/8)^2)^2 + C

```

```

= 2(1 - x^2/64)^2 + C

```

Therefore, the integral is equal to:

```

∫√1−64x2dx = 2(1 - x^2/64)^2 + C

```

Step-by-step explanation:

The integral ∫√(1-64x²)dx is equal to (1/128)(asin(8x) + 8x√(1-64x²) + C), where C is the constant of integration.

To solve this integral, we use trigonometric substitution. Let x = (1/8)sin(θ), so dx = (1/8)cos(θ)dθ. The integral becomes ∫√(1-64((1/8)sin(θ))²)(1/8)cos(θ)dθ = ∫(1/8)cos²(θ)dθ.

Now, apply the power-reduction formula: cos²(θ) = (1+cos(2θ))/2. The integral becomes ∫(1/16)(1+cos(2θ))dθ. Integrate with respect to θ: (1/16)(θ+(1/2)sin(2θ)) + C. Convert back to x using θ = asin(8x): (1/128)(asin(8x) + 8x√(1-64x²)) + C.

264 is the value of x³ - 1/x³ in linear equation.

What is a linear equation in mathematics?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx b. which contains only a constant and  first-order (linear) term, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

                      Sometimes the above is called a "linear equation in two variables" where y and x are the variables. A linear equation can have more than one variable. If a linear equation has two variables,  it is called a bivariate linear equation, etc.

x - 1/x = 7

x³ - 1/x³ = ?

(x - 1/x )³ = 7³

x³  - 1/x³ - 3 * x * 1/x (x - 1/x) = 243

x³  - 1/x³ - 3 * 7 = 243

x³  - 1/x³ - 21 = 243

x³  - 1/x³ = 243 + 21

x³  - 1/x³ =  264

a) There are 3ⁿ ternary digit strings with exactly n digits.

b) There is only 1 string with n digits and n 2's.

c) There are n ternary digit strings with n digits and n-1 2's.



a) For each digit in a ternary digit string, there are 3 possible values (0, 1, or 2). With n digits, you have 3 choices for each digit, giving 3ⁿ total possible strings.

b) If a string has n digits and all are 2's, there's only one possible string, which is '222...2' (with n 2's).

c) If a string has n digits and n-1 of them are 2's, there's one remaining digit that can be 0 or 1. There are n positions this non-2 digit can be in, resulting in n possible strings.

The standard deviation of the random variable is approximately 3.4082.

To compute the mean and standard deviation of the given discrete probability distribution, we need to use the following formulas:

Mean (μ) = ∑ [xi * P(xi)]

Variance (σ^2) = ∑ [(xi - μ)^2 * P(xi)]

Standard deviation (σ) = sqrt(σ^2)

where xi represents each possible value of the random variable and P(xi) represents the probability of each value.

Using the given probability distribution, we can compute the mean as:

Mean (μ) = (-5 * 0.14) + (-4 * 0.03) + (0 * 0.17) + (3 * 0.30) + (4 * 0.23) + (5 * 0.16) = 1.39

Therefore, the mean of the random variable is 1.39.

To compute the variance, we first need to compute the squared deviation of each value from the mean. Using the formula for variance, we get:

Variance (σ^2) = (-5 - 1.39)^2 * 0.14 + (-4 - 1.39)^2 * 0.03 + (0 - 1.39)^2 * 0.17 + (3 - 1.39)^2 * 0.30 + (4 - 1.39)^2 * 0.23 + (5 - 1.39)^2 * 0.16 = 11.6109

Finally, we can compute the standard deviation by taking the square root of the variance:

Standard deviation (σ) = sqrt(11.6109) = 3.4082

Therefore, the standard deviation of the random variable is approximately 3.4082.

We would need to collect at least 268 service times to return a 95% confidence interval whose width is at most 20 seconds.

(a) We can use the formula for a confidence interval for the mean of a normal distribution with known standard deviation:

CI = X ± z*(σ/√n)

where X is the sample mean, σ is the population standard deviation (in this case, the sample standard deviation is used as an estimate of the population standard deviation since it is known), n is the sample size, and z is the critical value from the standard normal distribution for the desired level of confidence.

For a 95% confidence interval, the critical value is z = 1.96. Plugging in the values, we get:

CI = 8 ± 1.96*(7/√100) = 8 ± 1.372

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the mean service time is (6.63, 9.37) minutes.

(b) To find the sample size required to return a 95% confidence interval whose width is at most 20 seconds, we can use the formula for the margin of error:

ME = z*(σ/√n)

where ME is the maximum allowed margin of error (which is 1/3 minute or 0.33 minutes in this case).

Solving for n, we get:

n = (z*σ/ME)^2

For a 95% confidence interval, the critical value is z = 1.96. Plugging in the values, we get:

n = (1.96*7/0.33)^2 ≈ 267.17

Therefore, we would need to collect at least 268 service times to return a 95% confidence interval whose width is at most 20 seconds.
