If the store advertises 60 square foot flooring for $253, then the cost for "per-square foot" is (c) $5.55.

To find the cost per square foot for the flooring, we need to divide the total cost of the flooring including the "installation-fee' by the total square footage of the flooring.

⇒ Total cost of flooring + installation fee = $253 + $80 = $333,

⇒ Total square footage of the flooring = 60 sq. ft.

So, Cost per square foot = (Total cost of flooring and installation fee)/(Total square footage of the flooring),

⇒ Cost per square-foot = 333/60,

⇒ Cost per square foot = $5.55/sq. ft.

Therefore, the correct option is (c).

When dealing with absolute value expressions, we must consider both the positive and negative values of the argument.

In this case, we are asked to simplify[tex]|x÷3| if x<0[/tex], which means that x is a negative number.

To simplify this expression, we must first evaluate x÷3, which gives us a negative number divided by a positive number, resulting in a negative quotient.

However, since we are only interested in the absolute value of this quotient, we must ignore the negative sign and write the expression as:

[tex]|x÷3| = -(x÷3)[/tex]

Note that the negative sign in front of the expression serves to cancel out the negative sign of the quotient, thus giving us a positive result.

Therefore, the simplified expression for[tex]|x÷3| if x<0 is -(x÷3)[/tex]. This expression can be used to evaluate the value of |x÷3| for any negative value of x, by simply plugging in the corresponding value for x.

The dimensions of the poster with an area of 392 square inches is equal to 14 inches and 28 inches.

Area of rectangular poster to print = 392 square inches

Let us assume that dimensions of the posters are,

Width of the poster is x inches and the length of the poster is y inches.

Area of the rectangular poster is,

xy = 392

Add 2 inches to the top and bottom margins for a total of 4 inches

And 1 inch to the left and right margins for a total of 2 inches.

Total area of the poster including the margins using the following equation,

Total area = (x + 2) × (y + 4)

Minimize the total area of the poster while still satisfying the area constraint.

Use the first equation to solve for one variable

And substitute it into the second equation,

y = 392/x

Total area = (x + 2) × (392/x + 4)

⇒ Total area = 4x + 392 +784/x + 8

⇒Total area = 4x + 400 +784/x

Minimize the total area, take the derivative of this expression with respect to x and set it equal to 0,

d/dx (4x + 400 +784/x ) = 0

⇒  4 + 0 - 784/x² = 0

⇒ x² = 784 /4

⇒ x = 14

Substituting this value of x back into the equation for y, we get,

y = 392/14

  = 28

Therefore, the dimensions of the poster should be 14 inches by 28 inches.

The second hand of a clock rotates once around the clock face in 60 seconds or one minute. Therefore, in 4 minutes, the second hand will rotate 4 times around the clock face.

The length of the second hand of a clock is 8 cm. The distance traveled by the top of the second hand in one full rotation is equal to the circumference of a circle with radius 8 cm, which is 2πr = 2π(8) = 16π cm.

The distance traveled by the top of the second hand in 4 rotations (or 4 minutes) is:

4 rotations * 16π cm/rotation = 64π cm

So the distance traveled by the top of the second hand of a clock in 4 minutes if the hand is 8 cm long is approximately 64π cm or about 201.06 cm (when rounded to two decimal places).

2)  x+y=4. This is the equation of the line in standard form.

3) The equation of the other diagonal is x=0.

1) The median of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides. The midpoint of RT is ((-1+7)/2,(5-2)/2)=(3,1.5) and the midpoint of SU is ((1+2)/2,(8+0)/2)=(1.5,4). The line containing the median passes through these two points, so we can use them to find the equation of the line. The slope of the line is (4-1.5)/(1.5-3)=1.5/(-1.5)=-1. The midpoint formula for a line gives us (y-1.5)=-1(x-3), which simplifies to x+y=4. This is the equation of the line in standard form.

2) To find the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we need to find the midpoint of the hypotenuse and the slope of the hypotenuse. The midpoint of PQ is ((-1+3)/2,(1+5)/2)=(1,3), and the midpoint of PR is ((-1+5)/2,(1-5)/2)=(2,-2). The slope of PQ is (5-1)/(3-(-1))=4/4=1, so the slope of the altitude is -1. We can use the point-slope form of a line to get y-3=-1(x-1), which simplifies to x+y=4. This is the equation of the line in standard form.

3) The diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other, so we can find the equations of both diagonals using the midpoint and slope formulas. The midpoint of AC is ((3-3)/2,(3-3)/2)=(0,0), and the midpoint of BD is ((-3+3)/2,(3-3)/2)=(0,0). The slope of AC is (3-(-3))/(3-(-3))=6/6=1, so the slope of BD is -1. Using the point-slope form of a line, we can get y-0=-1(x-0), which simplifies to y=-x. This is the equation of one diagonal. To find the equation of the other diagonal, we use the midpoint of AB ((-3+3)/2,(3+3)/2)=(0,3) and the midpoint of CD ((3-3)/2,(-3-3)/2)=(0,-3). The slope of AB is (3-3)/(3-(-3))=0, so the slope of the other diagonal is undefined (since it's perpendicular to AB). The equation of the other diagonal is x=0.

To find the probability of a contestant liking cats and dogs but not rabbits, we can use the formula for calculating the probability of independent events. That is, P(A and B and not C) = P(A) * P(B) * P(not C).

So in this case, P(cats and dogs and not rabbits) = 0.1 * 0.9 * 0.4 = 0.036. Therefore, the probability of a contestant liking cats and dogs but not rabbits is 0.036 or 3.6%.

As for the most likely outcome of this contestant's preferences, we can see that 90% of the contestants like cats, so it's very likely that this contestant likes cats. However, only 10% of the contestants like dogs, so it's less likely that this contestant likes dogs.

And 60% of the contestants like rabbits, so it's even more likely that this contestant does not like rabbits. Therefore, the most likely outcome is that this contestant likes cats but does not like dogs or rabbits.

In conclusion, given the probabilities provided, we can calculate the probability of a contestant liking cats and dogs but not rabbits, and we can also determine the most likely outcome of this contestant's preferences. The independence of the events allows us to use simple probability calculations to make these determinations.

b) The probability that more than eight men will still be alive in 20 years is approximately 0.057.

c) The probability that at least two men will still be alive in 20 years is approximately 0.999.

To calculate the probabilities, we can use the binomial distribution formula, where n is the number of trials, p is the probability of success, and x is the number of successes. Therefore,

a) P(X = 5) = (10 choose 5) * (0.69)⁵ * (0.31)⁵ ≈ 0.024

b) P(X > 8) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = [(10 choose 9) * (0.69)⁹ * (0.31)¹] + [(10 choose 10) * (0.69)¹⁰ * (0.31)⁰] ≈ 0.057

c) P(X ≥ 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) = 1 - [(10 choose 0) * (0.69)⁰ * (0.31)¹⁰] - [(10 choose 1) * (0.69)¹ * (0.31)⁹] ≈ 0.999

In summary, we have used the binomial distribution formula to calculate the probability that exactly five men, more than eight men, and at least two men will still be alive in 20 years, given that the probability that a man of this particular age will be alive in 20 years is 0.69.

The vertex will be at (0, -3), and the graph will be lower than the parent function by 3 units at every point. The parent function of the absolute value function is f(x) = |x|.

To shift this function 3 units down, we need to subtract 3 from the function's output (y) at every point on the graph. This can be expressed as:

f(x) = |x| - 3

The absolute value function is symmetric around the y-axis, which means that any shifts to the left or right do not affect the shape of the graph, only its position on the coordinate plane.

However, a vertical shift up or down will change the location of the vertex, the point where the graph changes direction. In this case, the vertex will be at (0, -3), and the graph will be lower than the parent function by 3 units at every point.

To conduct a simulated model that estimates the probability that Liang will find at least five other players to join the chess club if he asks eight players who have a 70% chance of agreeing to join.

We can use the following steps:

1. Define the variables:

  - n: the number of trials (i.e., the number of times Liang asks eight players to join)

  - p: the probability of success (i.e., the probability that a player agrees to join the club, which is 0.7)

  - k: the number of successes needed (i.e., the number of players, excluding Liang, that he needs to find to form the club, which is 5)

  - success: a counter to keep track of the number of successful trials (i.e., the number of times Liang finds at least five players to join)

2. Set the initial value of the success counter to 0.

3. Start a loop that runs n times. In each iteration of the loop:

  - Generate a random number between 0 and 1 using a random number generator.

  - If the random number is less than or equal to p, increment a "success count" variable.

  - If the success count variable reaches k, break out of the loop.

4. After the loop finishes, divide the success count variable by n to get the simulated probability that Liang will find at least five players to join the chess club.

5. Repeat the simulation multiple times (e.g., 1000 times) to obtain a distribution of simulated probabilities.

6. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the simulated probabilities to estimate the most likely probability that Liang will find at least five players to join the chess club, and the range of probabilities that he is likely to obtain.

Note: This simulation model assumes that each player's decision to join the club is independent of the other players' decisions and that the probability of success (i.e., agreeing to join) is the same for each player. These assumptions may not always be accurate in practice.
