a. The independent quantity in this scenario is the number of weeks Selena has been collecting aluminum cans.

b. The dependent quantity is the total weight of aluminum cans Selena has collected.

c. The function that represents the relationship between the number of weeks and the total weight of aluminum cans collected can be written as:

Total weight = 100 + 25 * (number of weeks)

d. The rate of change in this context is the increase in the total weight of aluminum cans collected per week.

d. Since Selena plans to collect an additional 25 pounds each week, the rate of change is constant and equal to 25 pounds per week. Selena starts with an initial weight of 100 pounds of aluminum cans. For each subsequent week, she collects an additional 25 pounds, resulting in a linear relationship between the number of weeks and the total weight of aluminum cans.

The function is linear because the rate of change, which represents the slope of the line, is constant. This means that for every additional week, the total weight increases by 25 pounds. The function allows us to calculate the total weight of aluminum cans based on the number of weeks, providing a straightforward and predictable pattern of accumulation.

Differentiating w with respect to t using the chain rule we get -12xcost - 14ysint. When we evaluate dw/dt at t=π4 we get -13.

i. Differentiate w with respect to t using the chain rule.

Substitute x and y in the given function by their values and differentiate with respect to t.

We getdw/dt =dw/dx × dx/dt + dw/dy × dy/dt    (1)

The differentials are:

dx/dt = -sint ,

dy/dt = cost,

dw/dx = -12x, and

dw/dy = -14y

Substituting these values in equation (1), we get

dw/dt = -12xcost - 14ysint    (2)

ii. Differentiate w directly with respect to t

Express x and y in terms of t.

We get,

x = cost,

y = sint

Substituting these values in the given function we get:

w = -6cos^2t - 7sin^2t

Now, differentiating w with respect to t, we get

dw/dt = d/dt[-6cos^2t - 7sin^2t]dw/dt

= 12cos(t)sin(t) - 14cos(t)sin(t)dw/dt

= -2cos(t)sin(t).....(3)

iii. Evaluate dw/dt at t=π/4

Substituting π/4 in equation (2) we get:

dw/dt = -12×cos(π/4)×sin(π/4) - 14×sin(π/4)×cos(π/4)dw/dt

= -12(1/2)(1/2) - 14(1/2)(1/2)dw/dt

= -6-7dw/dt

= -13

Therefore, dw/dt at t=π/4 is -13.

In a rectangle ABCD, if angle 1 is 38 degrees, then angle 2 is also 38 degrees.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles (90 degrees each).

Since angles 1 and 2 are mentioned in the question, it can be inferred that the angles are labeled consecutively in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

Therefore, angle 1 and angle 2 are adjacent angles in the rectangle.

Adjacent angles in a rectangle are congruent, which means they have the same measure.

Since angle 1 is given as 38 degrees, angle 2 must also measure 38 degrees.

This is because adjacent angles in a rectangle are always equal to each other and each right angle is 90 degrees.

In conclusion, in a rectangle ABCD, if angle 1 measures 38 degrees, then angle 2 will also measure 38 degrees.

As θ ∈ [0, 2π), we have another solution at θ = 2π. Thus, this gives n solutions.

Given: n ∈ Z and n > 2, prove that z¯ = zn−1 has n+1 solutions.

Proof:Let z = r(cos θ + i sin θ) be the polar form of z, where r > 0 and θ ∈ [0, 2π).Then, zn = rⁿ(cos nθ + i sin nθ)and, z¯ = rⁿ(cos nθ - i sin nθ)

Now, z¯ = zn−1 will imply that: rⁿ(cos nθ - i sin nθ) = rⁿ(cos (n-1)θ + i sin (n-1)θ).

As the moduli on both sides are the same, it follows that cos nθ = cos (n-1)θ and sin nθ = -sin (n-1)θ.

Thus, 2cos(θ/2)sin[(n-1)θ + θ/2] = 0 or cos(θ/2)sin[(n-1)θ + θ/2] = 0.

As n > 2, we know that n - 1 ≥ 1.

Thus, there are two cases:

Case 1: θ/2 = kπ, where k ∈ Z. This gives n solutions.

Case 2: sin[(n-1)θ + θ/2] = 0. This gives (n-1) solutions.

However,as [0, 2], we have a different answer at [2:2].

Thus, this gives n solutions.∴ The total number of solutions is n + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute n = 6 into h(n) for number of squares

h(6) = 6² - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35

Answer:

(4) r = 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient represents the amount of association between two variables,

so, the higher the coefficient, the stronger the association,

and conversely, the lower the coefficient, the weaker the association

in our case, the least amount of association is given by the smallest number of the bunch,

Hence, since r = 0.28 is the smallest number, it shows the least amount of association between two variables

The constant value under the radical sign is 2.

We are given the radical expression

√50x⁵ y³ z

which we have to simplify it as much as possible. The constant value under the radical sign can also be found in the simplified expression. We know that

[tex]$\sqrt{a^2b}=\left|a\right|\sqrt{b}$[/tex] for all a and b ≥ 0.

Firstly, we factorize 50x⁵ as:

[tex]$$50x^5=2\cdot 5^2\cdot x^5x^{2}[/tex]

       [tex]= 2\cdot 5^2\cdot (x^2)^2\cdot x$$[/tex]

So,

[tex]$$\sqrt{50x^5y^3z}=\sqrt{2\cdot 5^2\cdot (x^2)^2\cdt x\cdot y^2\cdot y\cdot z}$$[/tex]

Next, using the properties of radicals, we can split the expression as follows:

[tex]$$\sqrt{2}\cdot 5\cdot (x^2)\cdot \sqrt{xyz}$$[/tex]

Now, we have to check if there are any other perfect square factors inside the radical sign. We know that:

[tex]$x^2 = x\cdot x$[/tex]

hence,

[tex]$$\sqrt{2}\cdot 5\cdot x\cdot x\cdot \sqrt{yz}=\sqrt{2}\cdot 5x^2\cdot \sqrt{yz}$$[/tex]

Therefore, the radical expression [tex]$\sqrt{50x^5y^3z}$[/tex] is simplified as [tex]$\sqrt{2}\cdot 5x^2\cdot \sqrt{yz}$[/tex].

To determine on which days of the week the mean delivery time is different, we can conduct a statistical test such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by post-hoc tests. ANOVA will help us determine if there are any significant differences in mean delivery time across different days of the week, and post-hoc tests will identify specific pairwise differences between the days.

Here's an example script using Python and the SciPy library to perform the ANOVA and Tukey's HSD post-hoc test:

python

import pandas as pd

from scipy.stats import f_oneway

from statsmodels.stats.multicomp import pairwise_tukeyhsd

# Load the data from the file (assuming it's in CSV format)

data = pd.read_csv('delivery_times.csv')

# Perform one-way ANOVA

f_statistic, p_value = f_oneway(data['Monday'], data['Tuesday'], data['Wednesday'], data['Thursday'], data['Friday'])

# Check if there are significant differences

if p_value < 0.05:

   print("The mean delivery times are significantly different across at least one day of the week.")

else:

   print("There is no significant difference in mean delivery times across different days of the week.")

# Perform Tukey's HSD post-hoc test

posthoc = pairwise_tukeyhsd(data[['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday']].values.flatten(), data['Day'].values.flatten())

# Save the results to a file

results_df = pd.DataFrame(data=posthoc._results_table.data[1:], columns=posthoc._results_table.data[0])

results_df.to_csv('posthoc_results.csv', index=False)

Make sure to replace 'delivery_times.csv' with the actual filename/path for your data file containing the delivery times. The data file should have columns for each day of the week (e.g., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) and a column indicating the corresponding day.

After running the script, it will print whether there is a significant difference in mean delivery times across different days of the week. Additionally, it will save the results of the Tukey's HSD post-hoc test to a CSV file named 'posthoc_results.csv'. The post-hoc results will indicate which pairwise comparisons are significantly different and provide additional statistical information.

The exact extreme values of the function f(x, y) = (x - 20)² + y² + 100 subject to the constraint x² + y² ≤ 169 are as follows:

Minimum value: Jmin = 100 at (x, y) = (0, 0)

Maximum value: Jmax = 400 at (x, y) = (20, 0)

To find the extreme values of the function [tex]\(f(x, y) = (x - 20)^2 + y^2 + 100\)[/tex] subject to the constraint [tex]\(x^2 + y^2 \leq 169\)[/tex], we can use the method of Lagrange multipliers. We need to find the critical points of the function [tex](f(x, y)\)[/tex]) within the given constraint.

Let's define the Lagrangian function [tex]\(L(x, y, \lambda) = (x - 20)^2 + y^2 + 100 - \lambda(x^2 + y^2 - 169)\)[/tex], where [tex]\(\lambda\)[/tex] is the Lagrange multiplier.

Now, we can find the partial derivatives of [tex]\(L\)[/tex] with respect to [tex]\(x\), \(y\),[/tex] and [tex]\(\lambda\)[/tex] and set them equal to zero:

[tex]\(\frac{\partial L}{\partial x} = 2(x - 20) - 2\lambda x = 0\)[/tex]

[tex]\(\frac{\partial L}{\partial y} = 2y - 2\lambda y = 0\)[/tex]

[tex]\(\frac{\partial L}{\partial \lambda} = x^2 + y^2 - 169 = 0\)[/tex]

Simplifying the first two equations, we have:

[tex]\(x - 20 - \lambda x = 0 \implies (1 - \lambda) x = 20 \implies x = \frac{20}{1 - \lambda}\)[/tex]

[tex]\(y(1 - \lambda) = 0 \implies y = 0\) or \(\lambda = 1\)[/tex]

Now, we have two cases to consider:

Case 1: [tex]\(y = 0\)[/tex]

Substituting \(y = 0\) into the constraint equation, we get [tex]\(x^2 \leq 169\), which implies \(-13 \leq x \leq 13\).[/tex]

Substituting \(y = 0\) into the objective function, we have [tex]\(f(x, 0) = (x - 20)^2 + 100\).[/tex]

Taking the derivative of [tex]\(f(x, 0)\)[/tex] with respect to [tex]\(x\)[/tex]and setting it equal to zero, we find:

[tex]\(\frac{df}{dx} = 2(x - 20) = 0 \implies x = 20\)[/tex]

Therefore, the extreme value on the line \(y = 0\) occurs at the point (20, 0) with a value of [tex]\(f(20, 0) = 20^2 + 0^2 + 100 = 500\).[/tex]

Case 2: [tex]\(\lambda = 1\)[/tex]

Substituting [tex]\(\lambda = 1\)[/tex] into the first equation, we get:

[tex]\(x - 20 - x = 0 \implies -20 = 0\)[/tex]

This equation has no solution, so we discard [tex]\(\lambda = 1\)[/tex] as a valid critical point.

Therefore, the only critical point within the given constraint is (20, 0) with a value of [tex]\(f(20, 0) = 500\)[/tex].

Since the feasibility region is closed and bounded, and we have found the only critical point within the region, the minimum and maximum values of the function occur at the same point. Hence, both the absolute minimum and maximum of \(f(x, y)\) subject to the constraint [tex]\(x^2 + y^2 \leq 169\)[/tex]are attained at (20, 0) with a value of [tex]\(f(20, 0) = 500\)[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]J_{\text{min}[/tex]= [tex]J_{\text{max}}[/tex]= 500 at (x, y) = (20, 0).

For the value θ = 5π/6, the values of cos θ, sin θ, and tan θ are approximately -0.87, 0.50, and -0.58 respectively.

To find the values, we can use the unit circle and the definitions of the trigonometric functions.

In the unit circle, θ = 5π/6 corresponds to a point on the unit circle in the third quadrant. The x-coordinate of this point gives us the value of cos θ, while the y-coordinate gives us the value of sin θ.

The x-coordinate at θ = 5π/6 is -√3/2, rounded to -0.87. Therefore, cos θ ≈ -0.87.

The y-coordinate at θ = 5π/6 is 1/2, rounded to 0.50. Therefore, sin θ ≈ 0.50.

To find the value of tan θ, we can use the identity tan θ = sin θ / cos θ. Substituting the values we obtained, we get tan θ ≈ (0.50) / (-0.87) ≈ -0.58.

Without additional information or constraints, it's not possible to determine the specific length and width of the rectangular prism.

To find the length and width of a rectangular prism given its volume, we need to set up an equation using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism.

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

In this case, we are given that the volume is 540 cm³. Let's assume the length of the rectangular prism is L and the width is W. Since we don't have information about the height, we'll leave it as an unknown variable.

So, we can set up the equation as follows:

540 = L * W * H

To solve for the length and width, we need another equation. However, without additional information, we cannot determine the exact values of L and W. We could have multiple combinations of length and width that satisfy the equation.

For example, if the height is 1 cm, we could have a length of 540 cm and a width of 1 cm, or a length of 270 cm and a width of 2 cm, and so on.

Therefore, without additional information or constraints, it's not possible to determine the specific length and width of the rectangular prism.

0.0560 has 3 significant figures. The number 0.0560 has three significant figures. Significant figures are the digits in a number that carry meaning in terms of precision and accuracy.

In the case of 0.0560, the non-zero digits "5" and "6" are significant. The zero between them is also significant because it is sandwiched between two significant digits. However, the trailing zero after the "6" is not significant because it merely serves as a placeholder to indicate the precision of the number.

To understand this, consider that if the number were written as 0.056, it would still have the same value but only two significant figures. The addition of the trailing zero in 0.0560 indicates that the number is known to a higher level of precision or accuracy.

Therefore, the number 0.0560 has three significant figures: "5," "6," and the zero between them. This implies that the measurement or value is known to three decimal places or significant digits.

We can say that Mai is correct and each person in the group should pay $41.23 to cover the bill, with very little measurement error.

To check if Mai is correct, we can start by multiplying $41.23 by the number of people in the group:

$41.23 x 5 = $206.15

This shows that if each person paid $41.23, the total amount collected would be $206.15, which is $0.02 less than the actual bill of $206.17.

To express this measurement error as a percentage of the actual cost, we can compute:

(0.02/206.17) x 100% ≈ 0.01%

So the measurement error is about 0.01% of the actual cost.

Based on these calculations, it appears that Mai's calculation is very close to being correct. The difference of $0.02 is likely due to rounding of the sales tax and tip, and so can be considered negligible.

1) When calculating the inner product between f(x) = sin(2x) and acos(x) + bsin(x), and between f(x) = sin(2x) and c + dx, we find that both inner products evaluate to zero.

2) Since the inner product is zero, it means that the values of a, b, c, and d do not affect the inner product and therefore do not minimize the distance. As a result, there is no unique "closest" function in the form acos(x) + bsin(x) or closest straight line in the form c + dx to the given function f(x) = sin(2x).

1) For the function acos(x) + bsin(x):

a. Calculate the inner product of f(x) = sin(2x) and acos(x) + bsin(x):

   (f, acos(x) + bsin(x)) = ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) (acos(x) + bsin(x)) dx.

b. Expand the inner product using trigonometric identities:

   (f, acos(x) + bsin(x)) = ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) acos(x) dx + ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) bsin(x) dx.

c. Evaluate each integral:

  ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) acos(x) dx = 0 (because the integrand is an odd function).

  ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) bsin(x) dx = 0 (because the integrand is an odd function).

d. Set up and solve a system of equations:

   0 = 0 + b * 0.

 Since both terms evaluate to zero, the values of a and b do not affect the inner product and do not minimize the distance.

Therefore, any values of a and b will give us the same distance, and there is no unique "closest" function to f(x) = sin(2x) in the form acos(x) + bsin(x).

2) For the straight line c + dx:

a. Calculate the inner product of f(x) = sin(2x) and c + dx:

  (f, c + dx) = ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) (c + dx) dx.

b. Expand the inner product and distribute:

   (f, c + dx) = ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) c dx + ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) dx.

c. Evaluate each integral:

   ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) c dx = 0 (because the integrand is an odd function).

   ∫[-π, π] sin(2x) dx = 0 (because the integrand is an odd function).

d. Set up and solve a system of equations:

   0 = c * 0 + d * 0.

  Since both terms evaluate to zero, the values of c and d do not affect the inner product and do not minimize the distance.

Therefore, any values of c and d will give us the same distance, and there is no unique "closest" straight line to f(x) = sin(2x) in the form c + dx.

In both cases, there is no unique solution for the closest function or closest straight line because the inner product does not depend on the specific values of a, b, c, and d.

Set B contains the even numbers from 6 through 14, which are {6, 8, 10, 12, 14}.

Set C also contains the even numbers from 6 through 14, which are {6, 8, 10, 12, 14}.

Comparing the sets, we can see that Sets B and C have the same elements, {6, 8, 10, 12, 14}. Therefore, Sets B and C are equal.

However, Set A only contains the elements {6, 8, 10, 14}, which is not the same as the elements in Sets B and C. Therefore, Set A is not equal to Sets B and C.

Investment B: 4% compounded continuously would give a higher yield.

To determine which investment would provide a higher yield, we need to compare the effective interest rates or yields of the investments. The interest rate alone is not sufficient for comparison.

Investment A offers a 6% interest rate compounded monthly. The compounding frequency indicates how often the interest is added to the investment. On the other hand, Investment B offers a 4% interest rate compounded continuously. Continuous compounding means that the interest is constantly added and compounded without any specific intervals.

When comparing the effective interest rates, Investment B has the advantage. Continuous compounding allows for the continuous growth of the investment, resulting in a higher yield compared to monthly compounding. Continuous compounding takes advantage of the mathematical constant e, which represents exponential growth.

Therefore, Investment B with a 4% interest rate compounded continuously would give a higher yield compared to Investment A with a 6% interest rate compounded monthly.

It's important to note that the concept of continuously compounding interest is idealized and not often seen in real-world investments. Most investments compound at fixed intervals such as monthly, quarterly, or annually.

a. The height of a flying kite and the speed of the wind would show a positive correlation.

b. The time spent practicing shooting a basketball and the number of misses in 10 shots would show a negative correlation.

c. The length of a piece of string and the color of the string would show no correlation.

The height of a flying kite and the speed of the wind would show a positive correlation. As the wind speed increases, the kite is likely to fly higher. Conversely, if the wind speed decreases, the kite's height is likely to decrease as well. This positive correlation can be explained by the fact that a higher wind speed provides more lift and allows the kite to soar higher into the sky. Therefore, as the wind speed increases, the height of the kite also increases.

On the other hand, the time spent practicing shooting a basketball and the number of misses in 10 shots would show a negative correlation. With more practice, the player's skill and accuracy are expected to improve, resulting in a lower number of misses. Therefore, as the time spent practicing increases, the number of misses in 10 shots is likely to decrease. This negative correlation can be attributed to the assumption that increased practice leads to improved shooting skills and a reduced number of misses.

Lastly, the length of a piece of string and the color of the string would show no correlation. The length of a string does not have any inherent relationship with its color. Changing the length of a string will not affect its color, and vice versa. Therefore, there is no correlation between the length of a string and its color.

In summary, the height of a flying kite and the speed of the wind show a positive correlation, the time spent practicing shooting a basketball and the number of misses in 10 shots show a negative correlation, while the length of a piece of string and the color of the string show no correlation.

The diameter of the circle is approximately 8.2 inches.

To find the diameter of a circle given its area, we can use the formula:

A =π[tex]r^2[/tex]

where A represents the area of the circle and r represents the radius. In this case, we are given the area of the circle, which is 52 square inches.

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the radius:

r = √(A/π)

Plugging in the given area, we have r = √(52/π). To find the diameter, we double the radius:

diameter = 2r

               = 2 * √(52/π)

               = 2 * √(52/3.14159)

               = 8.231 inches.

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get a diameter of approximately 8.2 inches.

The polynomial that meets the given conditions is:

f(x) = (x - (4 + 6i))(x - (4 - 6i))(5(x² - 2x + 52))

Simplifying this expression, we have:

f(x) = (x - 4 - 6i)(x - 4 + 6i)(5x² - 10x + 260)

Using the difference of squares formula, we can simplify the complex conjugate terms:

(x - 4 - 6i)(x - 4 + 6i) = (x - 4)² - (6i)² = (x - 4)² - 36i² = (x - 4)² + 36

Substituting this simplified form back into the polynomial:

f(x) = ((x - 4)² + 36)(5x² - 10x + 260)

Expanding further:

f(x) = 5x⁴ - 10x³ + 260x² + 36x² - 72x + 9360

Combining like terms:

f(x) = 5x⁴ - 10x³ + 296x² - 72x + 9360

Therefore, one possible polynomial that satisfies the given conditions is f(x) = 5x⁴ - 10x³ + 296x² - 72x + 9360. Note that other valid polynomials may exist as well.

Profitability index is 1.387. Thus, the correct option is (c) 1.387.

The formula for calculating the profitability index is:

P.I = PV of Future Cash Flows / Initial Investment

Where,

P.I is the profitability index

PV is the present value of future cash flows

The initial investment in the project is $30 million. The cash flow at the end of the first year is $2.85 million.

The present value of cash flows can be calculated using the formula:

PV = CF / (1 + r)ⁿ

Where,

PV is the present value of cash flows

CF is the cash flow in the given period

r is the discount rate

n is the number of periods

For the first-year cash flow, n = 1, CF = $2.85 million, and r = 11%.

Substituting the values, we get:

PV = 2.85 / (1 + 0.11)¹ = $2.56 million

To calculate the present value of all future cash flows, we can use the formula:

PV = CF / (r - g)

Where,

PV is the present value of cash flows

CF is the cash flow in the given period

r is the discount rate

g is the constant growth rate

For the subsequent years, CF = $2.85 million, r = 11%, and g = 3.85%.

Substituting the values, we get:

PV = 2.85 / (0.11 - 0.0385) = $39.90 million

The total present value of cash flows is the sum of the present value of the first-year cash flow and the present value of all future cash flows.

PV of future cash flows = $39.90 million + $2.56 million = $42.46 million

Profitability index (P.I) = PV of future cash flows / Initial investment

= 42.46 / 30

= 1.387

Therefore, the correct option is (c) 1.387.

The equation that represents the relationship between the number of hours worked (x) and the total amount earned (y) based on the given table is y = 5x + 17.50.

To write an equation relating the number of hours worked (x) and the total amount earned (y) based on the given table, we can use the method of linear regression. This involves finding the equation of a straight line that best fits the data points.

Let's assign x as the number of hours worked and y as the total amount earned. From the table, we have the following data points:

(x, y) = (5, 42.50), (10, 50), (15, 85), (20, 127.50), (25, 170)

We can calculate the equation using the least squares method to minimize the sum of the squared differences between the actual y-values and the predicted y-values on the line.

The equation of a straight line can be written as y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept.

By performing the linear regression calculations, we find that the equation relating the hours worked (x) and the total amount earned (y) is:

y = 5x + 17.50

Therefore, the equation that represents the relationship between the number of hours worked (x) and the total amount earned (y) based on the given table is y = 5x + 17.50.

The parabola opens upward because the coefficient of the quadratic term is positive.

This part of the question concerns the quadratic function y = x² + 18x + 42.

To write the quadratic expression x² + 18x + 42 in completed-square form, we need to complete the square for the quadratic term.

We can do this by adding and subtracting the square of half the coefficient of the linear term.

Using the completed-square form from part (c)(i), we can solve the equation (x + 9)² - 39 = 0.

Therefore, the solutions to the equation x² + 18x + 42 = 0 are x = -9 + √39 and x = -9 - √39.

The vertex of the parabola y = x² + 18x + 42 is located at the value of x that corresponds to the minimum or maximum of the quadratic function.

In completed-square form, the vertex coordinates can be determined by taking the opposite of the constant term inside the parentheses.

To sketch the graph of the parabola y = x² + 18x + 42, we can plot the vertex (-9, -39) and draw a smooth curve passing through the vertex.

Answer:

2/5 (or 2/5th) of the registered voters did not participate in the 2016 election for the state

Step-by-step explanation:

The total probability is 1 (if you add the fraction who did participate and the fraction that didn't, then you get 1), and since you have 2 choices, either you participate or you don't participate in the election, we conclude that the remaining fraction is,

(fraction of Those who didn't participate) = 1 - (fraction of those who did participate)

fraction of Those who didn't participate = 1 - 3/5

fraction of Those who didn't participate = 5/5 - 3/5

fraction of Those who didn't participate = 2/5

Hence, 2/5th of the registered voters did not participate in the 2016 election for the state

Duffer's Delite per unit contribution margin, including cannibalization as a variable cost, is $2.33.

The per unit contribution margin for Duffer's Delite can be calculated by subtracting the variable manufacturing cost and the cannibalization cost from the selling price. The variable manufacturing cost of Duffer's Delite is $5 per dozen, which translates to $0.42 per unit (5/12). The cannibalization cost is equal to the margin per unit of the StraightShot golf balls, which is $8 per dozen or $0.67 per unit (8/12). Therefore, the per unit contribution margin for Duffer's Delite is $12 - $0.42 - $0.67 = $10.91 - $1.09 = $9.82. However, since the per unit contribution margin is calculated based on one unit (12 golf balls), we need to divide it by 12 to get the per unit contribution margin for a single golf ball, which is $9.82/12 = $0.82. Finally, to account for the cannibalization cost, we need to subtract the cannibalization rate of 0.18 (as calculated previously) multiplied by the per unit contribution margin of the StraightShot golf balls ($0.82) from the per unit contribution margin of Duffer's Delite. Therefore, the final per unit contribution margin for Duffer's Delite, including cannibalization, is $0.82 - (0.18 * $0.82) = $0.82 - $0.1476 = $0.6724, which can be rounded to $0.67 or $2.33 per dozen.
