Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

If anything gets in the way of our good eating, it's lifestyle. When you get home from work late, why spend an hour in front of the stove when you can spend two minutes at the microwave? And doesn't that oatmeal box claim to be a good source of calcium for our kids, never mind the small print listing 14 grams of sugar? A small soda at the movies could satisfy a family of four. Even schools have vending machines.

What does the author think is responsible for people's poor eating habits?

A They do not know how to correctly read the nutrition information on food packages.
B They do not know how to prepare healthy meals that are both inexpensive and quick.
C They often choose foods that are quick and convenient instead of ones that are healthy.
D They spend time thinking about work and entertainment instead of thinking about food.

A water bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 33.5 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.92 thousand bottles. A nearby cola bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 26.2 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.42 thousand bottles. One Wednesday from noon to 1:00 p.m., the water bottling facility bottled 34.9 thousand bottles of water, and the cola bottling facility bottled 26.8 thousand bottles of cola. Which facility increased their efficiency more during that hour

Answers

Using z-scores, we have that due to the higher z-score, the water bottling facility increased their efficiency more during that hour.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  

In this problem, the facility with the higher z-score increased their efficiency more during that hour.

For the water bottling facility, we have that [tex]\mu = 33.5, \sigma = 1.92, X = 34.9[/tex], hence:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{34.9 - 33.5}{1.92}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.73[/tex]

For the cola bottling facility, we have that [tex]\mu = 26.2, \sigma = 1.42, X = 26.8[/tex], hence:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{26.8 - 26.2}{1.42}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.42[/tex]

Due to the higher z-score, the water bottling facility increased their efficiency more during that hour.

Juwan went on a bike ride of 36 miles. He realized that if he had gone 15 mph faster, he would have arrived
10 hours sooner. How fast did he actually ride?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = (Rate)(Time) So, Time = (Distance)/(Rate)

Time at slower speed = Time at faster speed + 3

36/x = 36/(x+6) + 3

Multiply the equation by the LCD, x(x+6) to obtain:

36(x+6) = 36x + 3x(x+6)

36x + 216 = 36x + 3x2 + 18x

3x2 + 18x - 216 = 0

x2 + 6x - 72 = 0

(x + 12)(x - 6) = 0

x = -12 or x = 6

Since x can't be negative, x = 6 mph

The graph shows the distribution of the amount of time (in minutes) people spend watching TV shows on a popular streaming service. The distribution is approximately Normal, with a mean of 71 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes.
A graph titled Streaming T V has time (minutes) on the x-axis, going from 11 to 131 in increments of 15. The highest point of the curve is at 71.
What percentage of people spend between 41 and 56 minutes watching TV shows on this streaming service?
a- 13.5%
b- 34%
c- 47.5%
d- 95%
answer:a 13.5

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the percentage of people spend between 41 and 56 minutes watching TV shows on this streaming service is:

a) 13.5%

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

The mean is of 71, hence [tex]\mu = 71[/tex]The standard deviation is of 15, hence [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex]

The proportion between 41 and 56 minutes is the p-value of Z when X = 56 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 41, hence:

X = 56:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{56 - 71}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.16

X = 41:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{41 - 71}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.025

0.16 - 0.025 = 0.135

0.135 x 100% = 13.5%

Hence option a is correct.

A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. No fencing is needed along the barn, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. If the fencing costs $8 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $4000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area.

Answers

The dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are a length and a width of 125 feet.

In this question we shall use the first and second derivative tests to determine the optimal dimensions of a rectangular plot of land. The perimeter ([tex]p[/tex]), in feet, and the area of the rectangular plot ([tex]A[/tex]), in square feet, of land are described below:

[tex]p = 2\cdot (w+l)[/tex] (1)

[tex]A = w\cdot l[/tex] (2)

Where:

[tex]w[/tex] - Width, in feet.[tex]l[/tex] - Length, in feet.

In addition, the cost of fencing of the rectangular plot ([tex]C[/tex]), in monetary units, is:

[tex]C = c\cdot p[/tex] (3)

Where [tex]c[/tex] is the fencing unit cost, in monetary units per foot.

Now we apply (2) and (3) in (1):

[tex]p = 2\cdot \left(\frac{A}{l}+l \right)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C}{c} = 2\cdot (\frac{A}{l}+l )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C\cdot l}{c} = 2\cdot (A+l^{2})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C\cdot l}{c}-2\cdot l^{2} = 2\cdot A[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C\cdot l}{2\cdot c} - l^{2} = A[/tex] (4)

We notice that fencing costs are directly proportional to the area to be fenced. Let suppose that cost is the maximum allowable and we proceed to perform the first and second derivative tests:

FDT

[tex]\frac{C}{2\cdot c}-2\cdot l = 0[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{C}{4\cdot c}[/tex]

SDT

[tex]A'' = -2[/tex]

Which means that length leads to a maximum area.

If we know that [tex]c = 8[/tex] and [tex]C = 4000[/tex], then the dimensions of the rectangular plot of land are, respectively:

[tex]l = \frac{4000}{4\cdot (8)}[/tex]

[tex]l = 125\,ft[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{(4000)\cdot (125)}{2\cdot (8)} -125^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 15625\,ft^{2}[/tex]

[tex]w = \frac{15625\,ft^{2}}{125\,ft}[/tex]

[tex]w = 125\,ft[/tex]

The dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are a length and a width of 125 feet.

Summer is thinking about buying a car for $45,000. The table below shows the projected value of two different cars for three years.
Number of years 1 2 3
Car 1 (value in dollars) 40,500 36,450 32,805
Car 2 (value in dollars) 42,000 39,000 36,000

Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of each of the cars after a fixed number of years? Explain your answer. (2 points)

Part B: Write one function for each car to describe the value of the car f(x), in dollars, after x years. (4 points)

Part C: Summer wants to purchase a car that would have the greatest value in 13 years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of either car after 13 years? Explain your answer, and show the value of each car after 13 years. (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

  A) 1: exponential; 2: linear

  B) 1: f(x) = 45000·0.9^x; 2: f(x) = -3000x+45000

  C) The difference is significant. 1: $11,348; 2: $6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The values for Car 1 have a common ratio of 40500/45000 = 0.9. An exponential function is used to describe a sequence where the terms have a common ratio.

The values for Car 2 have a common difference of 42000-45000 = -3000. A linear function is used to describe a sequence where the terms have a common difference.

__

Part B

An exponential function can be written as ...

  f(x) = (initial value)·(common ratio)^x

A linear function can be written as ...

  f(x) = (common difference)x + (initial value)

The functions are ...

  Car 1: f(x) = 45000·0.9^x

  Car 2: f(x) = -3000x +45000

___

Part C

The formulas for the different car values after 13 years give ...

 Car 1: f(13) = 45000·0.9^13 ≈ 11,348

  Car 2: f(13) = -3000(13) +45000 = 6,000

The value of Car 1 will be almost double the value of Car 2 after 13 years. Yes the difference in value is significant.

Share 7.20 naira between Tayo and Visit,so that Tayo gets 70 Kobo more than Bisi. how much does Tayo get?​

Answers

Answer:

4.30 naira

Step-by-step explanation:

Splitting in half, we have that they both get 3.60 naira each. Adding 70 kobo to 3.60 naira, we have 4.30 naira. Since we need Tayo's share to be 70 kobo more than Bisi's, we give Tayo the bigger share and the left cash to Bisi (2.90 naira).

Tayo will get 3.95 more than the naira of the given shares.

What is an expression?

In mathematics, an expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operators (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) that can be evaluated to obtain a value.

Let's call the amount that Visit gets "x".

According to the problem, Tayo gets 70 kobos (0.70 nairas) more than Visit. So, Tayo gets:

x + 0.70

The total amount of money shared between them is 7.20 naira. So, we can set up an equation:

x + (x + 0.70) = 7.20

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x + 0.70 = 7.20

Subtracting 0.70 from both sides, we get:

2x = 6.50

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 3.25

To find out how much Tayo gets, we can use the equation we came up with earlier:

x + 0.70

Substituting x = 3.25, we get:

3.25 + 0.70 = 3.95

Therefore, Tayo will get 3.95 more than the naira.
