In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food. This has decreased
at an average rate of approximately 0.27% per year since then. Find a
linear function in slope-intercept form that models the percentage of total
spending, p(x), by the group x years after 1950.

Answers

Answer 1

The linear function that can be used to model this relationship is:

y = -0.27x + 23

A linear function is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let P(x) represent the percentage of total  spending x years after 1950.

Since In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food, hence b = 23.

Also, this has been decreasing at 0.27% per year. Hence m = -0.27.

The linear function that can be used to model this relationship is:

y = -0.27x + 23

In 2013, the Public Religion Research Institute conducted a survey of 1,033 adults, 18 years of age or older, in the continental United States. One of the questions on their survey was as follows:
On any given Sunday, are you more likely to only be in church, more likely to only be watching football, doing both, or doing neither?

(a) To only be in church [269 respondents selected this answer]

(b) To only be watching football [175 respondents selected this answer]

(c) Doing both [217 respondents selected this answer]

(d) Doing neither [372 respondents selected this answer]
Create a 95% confidence interval to estimate the actual percentage of adults in the U.S., aged 18 and older, that are "likely" to ONLY be in church on any given Sunday.

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval to estimate the actual percentage of adults in the U.S., aged 18 and older, that are "likely" to ONLY be in church on any given Sunday is (23.36%, 28.72%).

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+\alpha}{2}[/tex].

269 out of 1033 respondents said they were likely to only be in church, hence:

[tex]n = 1033, \pi = \frac{269}{1033} = 0.2604[/tex]

95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2604 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2604(0.7396)}{1033}} = 0.2336[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2604 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2604(0.7396)}{1033}} = 0.2872[/tex]

As a percentage:

0.2336 x 100% = 23.36%

0.2872 x 100% = 28.72%

The 95% confidence interval to estimate the actual percentage of adults in the U.S., aged 18 and older, that are "likely" to ONLY be in church on any given Sunday is (23.36%, 28.72%).

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90​% confidence interval for the percentage of successful challenges is (17.28, 29.34).

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+\alpha}{2}[/tex].

31 out of 133 challenges were successful, hence:

[tex]n = 133, \pi = \frac{31}{133} = 0.2331[/tex]

90% confidence level, hence [tex]\alpha = 0.9[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2331 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2331(0.7669)}{133}} = 0.1728[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2331 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2331(0.7669)}{133}} = 0.2934[/tex]

Travel agents collected data from recent travelers about their modes of transportation for their vacations, They found that 37% traveled by airplane, 8% traveled by train, and 7% traveled by airplane and train. Let A be the event that the mode of travel was airplane and let T be the event that the mode of travel was train.​

Using Venn probabilities, it is found that the probability is [tex]P(A \cap T^{c}) = 0.3[/tex]

In this problem, the events are:

Event A: Traveled by airplane.Event T: Traveled by train.Event [tex]T^{c}[/tex]: Did not travel by train.

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(A \cap T^{c}) = P(A) + P(T^{c}) - P(A \cup T^{c})[/tex]

The probabilities are:

37% traveled by airplane, hence [tex]P(A) = 0.37[/tex]8% traveled by train, hence [tex]P(T^c) = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92[/tex]37% traveled by airplane, 62%(100 - [37 + 8 - 7]) did not travel, hence [tex]P(A \cup T^c) = 0.37 + 0.62 = 0.99[/tex]

Where P is principal, A is the final amount, r is the rate, n is the number of times compounded per period and t is the time

I drove to the beach at a rate of 40 miles per hour. If I had driven at a rate of 30 miles per hour instead, then I would have arrived 25 minutes later. How many miles did I drive?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of hours driven

25 minutes = 5/12 hour

remember,

1 hour = 60 Minuten

5 minutes = 60/12 minutes = 1/12 hour

25 minutes = 5×5 minutes = 5/12 hour

x hours × 40 miles/hour = (x + 5/12) hours × 30 miles/hour

the dimensions "hour" eliminate each other from the top and the bottom of the fractions leaving only miles. and the miles must be the same either way.

40x = (x + 5/12)×30 = 30x + 150/12

10x = 150/12

x = 15/12 = 5/4 hours

40 miles/hour × 5/4 hours = 40×5/4 miles = 10×5 = 50 miles.

a). Draw a Venn diagram to represent the given information.

b). How many students have cats only?

c). What proportion of the students have exactly one type of animal as pets?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) see attached

  b) 41

  c) 56.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have drawn three circles, labeled D, C, B representing students who have dogs, cats, and birds, respectively. Based on the given information we can fill numbers in for all three animals (7), cats and dogs only (15), and birds only (8).

Then we can fill in cats and birds only by subtracting the number with all three. That will be 12 -7 = 5. Birds and dogs only is similarly filled by subtracting all three to get 20 -7 = 13 birds and dogs only.

Dogs only is found by subtracting the numbers in multiple categories from the total number of dogs: 90 -13 -7 -15 = 55. Cats only is found the same way: 68 -5 -7 -15 = 41.

The completed diagram is shown in the attachment. (We haven't figured the quantity for "none.")

__

b) 41 students have cats only

__

c) The total number with dogs only, cats only, or birds only is ...

  55 +41 +8 = 104

Of the 185 total students, that is 104/185 ≈ 56.2%.

56.2% of students have exactly one type of animal as a pet.

A circular garden has a diameter of 10 feet approximately how much edging trim is needed to surround the garden by placing the trim all along the gardens circumference

Answers

Answer: 31.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you basically need to calculate the perimeter of the circle. You do this using this formula:

diameter of the circle times Pie = the circumference of the circle

Since The number of Pie is infinite use the rounded version of pie to 2 decimal points which is 3.14(This is why the question asks for an approximate)

(Diameter = 10 Pie = 3.14 therefore circumference = 31.4)

10 times 3.14 = 31.4 feet

The amount of edging trim needed to surround the garden by placing the trim all along the gardens circumference is 31.4 ft.

The garden is circular in shape. Thereforem the trim that is needed to surround the garden is the circumfernce of the graden.

Circumference of a circle

The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle. Therefore,

circumference = 2πr

where

r = radius

Therefore, the amount of edging trim needed to surround the garden by placing the trim all along the gardens circumference is as follows:

circumference = 2 × 3.14 × 5

circumference = 10 × 3.14
