find ∠AEC in the figure below.
Answer:
C. 105°
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles BED and CED are supplementary, so ...
(2y +x) +(-2y +3x) = 180
4x = 180
2x = 90
Substituting this into the expression for angle AEB, we have ...
Angle AEB = (90 -15)° = 75°
Angle AEC is the supplement to that, so is ...
∠AEC = 180° -75° = 105° . . . . . matches choice C
Answer: C. 105
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding BED and DEC for being adjacent angles we obtain:
[tex]2y+x +-2y+3x = 180\\4x = 180\\x=45\\[/tex]
Substituting x in BEA
[tex]BEA=2(45)-15=75[/tex]
Adding BEA and AEC for being adjacent angles we obtain:
[tex]BEA+AEC=180\\AEC=180-BEA\\AEC=180-75\\AEC=105[/tex]

A retail company estimates that if it spends x thousands of dollars on advertising during the year, it will realize a profit of P ( x ) dollars, where P ( x ) = − 0.5 x 2 + 120 x + 2000 , where 0 ≤ x ≤ 187 . a . What is the company's marginal profit at the $ 100000 and $ 140000 advertising levels? P ' ( 100 ) = P ' ( 140 ) = b . What advertising expenditure would you recommend to this company? $
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the profit realized by the company is modelled by the equation
P (x) = −0.5x² + 120x + 2000, marginal profit occurs at dP/dx = 0
dP/dx = -x+120
P'(x) = -x+120
Company's marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level will be expressed as;
P '(100) = -100+120
P'(100) = 20
Marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level is $20,000
Company's marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level will be expressed as;
P '(140) = -140+120
P'(140) = -20
Marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level is $-20,000
Based on the marginal profit at both advertising level, I will recommend the advertising expenditure when profit between $0 and $119 is made. At any marginal profit from $120 and above, it is not advisable for the company to advertise because they will fall into a negative marginal profit which is invariably a loss.

If you are offered one slice from a round pizza (in other words, a sector of a circle) and the slice must have a perimeter of 32 inches, what diameter pizza will reward you with the largest slice
Answer:
A 16 inches diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r be the radius and [tex]\theta[/tex] be the angle of a circle.
According with the graph, the area of the sector is given by
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta[/tex]
The arc length of a circle with radius r and angle [tex]\theta[/tex] is r [tex]\theta[/tex]
The perimeter of the pizza slice is composed of two straight pieces, each of length r inches, and an arc of the circle which you know has length s = rθ inches. Thus the perimeter has length
The perimeter of the pizza slice is composed of two straight pieces, each of length r inches, and an arc of the circle which you know has length s = rθ inches.
Thus the perimeter has length
[tex]2r+r\theta=32 \:in[/tex]
We need to express the area as a function of one variable, to do this we use the above equation and we solve for [tex]\theta[/tex]
[tex]2r+r\theta=32\\\\r\theta=32-2r\\\\\theta=\frac{32-2r}{r}[/tex]
Next, we substitute this equation into the area equation
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}r^2(\frac{32-2r}{r})\\\\A=\frac{1}{2}r(32-2r)\\\\A=16r-r^2[/tex]
The domain of the area is
[tex]0<r<12[/tex]
To find the diameter of pizza that will reward you with the largest slice you need to find the derivative of the area and set it equal to zero to find the critical points.
[tex]\frac{d}{dr} A=\frac{d}{dr}(16r-r^2)\\\\A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr}(16r)-\frac{d}{dr}(r^2)\\\\A'(r)=16-2r16-2r=0\\\\-2r=-16\\\\\frac{-2r}{-2}=\frac{-16}{-2}\\\\r=8[/tex]
To check if r=8 is a maximum we use the Second Derivative test
if [tex]f'(c)=0[/tex] and [tex]f''(c)<0[/tex] , then f(x) has a local maximum at x = c.
The second derivative is
[tex]\frac{d}{dr} A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr} (16-2r)\\\\A''(r)=-2[/tex]
Because [tex]A''(r)=-2 <0[/tex] the largest slice is when r = 8 in.
The diameter of the pizza is given by
[tex]D=2r=2\cdot 8=16 \:in[/tex]
A 16 inches diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2617 and standard deviation 586. One randomly selected customer is observed to see how many calories X that customer consumes. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X N,(_____ , ____)
b. Find the probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories. ______
c. What proportion of the customers consume over 2764 calories? __________
d, The Piggy award will given out to the 1% of customers who consume the most calories. What is the fewest number of calories a person must consume to receive the Piggy award? __________ calories. (Round to the nearest calorie)
Answer:
a) N(2617, 586)
b) 0.3613 = 36.13% probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories.
c) 0.4013 = 40.13% of the customers consume over 2764 calories
d) 3981 calories.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 2617, \sigma = 586[/tex]
a. What is the distribution of X?
Here we first place the mean, then the standard deviation.
N(2617, 586)
b. Find the probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2409. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2409 - 2617}{586}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.355[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.355[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.3613
0.3613 = 36.13% probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories.
c. What proportion of the customers consume over 2764 calories?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2764. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2764 - 2617}{586}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5987
1 - 0.5987 = 0.4013
0.4013 = 40.13% of the customers consume over 2764 calories
d. The Piggy award will given out to the 1% of customers who consume the most calories. What is the fewest number of calories a person must consume to receive the Piggy award?
Top 1%, so the 100-1 = 99th percentile.
The 99th percentile is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So it is X when Z = 2.327. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]2.327 = \frac{X - 2617}{586}[/tex]
[tex]X - 2617 = 2.327*586[/tex]
[tex]X = 3980.6[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest calorie, 3981 calories.

While conducting experiments, a marine biologist selects water depths from a uniformly distributed collection that vary between 2.00 m and 7.00 m. What is the probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m?
Answer:
55% probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m
Step-by-step explanation:
An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.
For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.
The probability that we find a value X between c and d is given by the following formula.
[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]
While conducting experiments, a marine biologist selects water depths from a uniformly distributed collection that vary between 2.00 m and 7.00 m.
This means that [tex]a = 2, b = 7[/tex]
What is the probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m?
[tex]P(2.25 \leq X \leq 5) = \frac{5 - 2.25}{7 - 2} = 0.55[/tex]

Many students brag that they have more than 150 friends on a social media website. For a class project, a group of students asked a random sample of 13 students at their college who used the social media website about their number of friends and got the data available below. Is there strong evidence that the mean number of friends for the student population at the college who use the social media website is larger than 150?
Required:
a. Find and interpret the test statistic value.
b. Report and interpret the P-value and state the conclusion in context. Use a significance level of 0.05.
c. What does the test statistic value represent?
1. The test statistic value is the difference between the sample mean and the null hypothesis value.
2. The test statistic value is the number of standard errors from the null hypothesis value to the sample mean.
3. The test statistic value is the expected mean of the differences between the sample data and the null hypothesis value.
4. The test statistic value is the number of standard deviations from the null hypothesis value to the sample mean.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The missing data is:
30, 155, 205, 235, 180, 235, 70, 250, 135, 145, 225, 230, 30
Solution:
Mean = (30 + 155 + 205 + 235 + 180 + 235 + 70 + 250 + 135 + 145 + 225 + 230 + 30)/13 = 163.5
Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n
n = 13
Summation(x - mean)² = (30 - 163.5)^2 + (155 - 163.5)^2 + (205 - 163.5)^2+ (235 - 163.5)^2 + (180 - 163.5)^2 + (235 - 163.5)^2 + (70 - 163.5)^2 + (250 - 163.5)^2 + (135 - 163.5)^2 + (145 - 163.5)^2 + (225 - 163.5)^2 + (230 - 163.5)^2 + (30 - 163.5)^2 = 73519.25
Standard deviation = √(73519.25/13) = 75.2
We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean
For the null hypothesis,
µ ≤ 150
For the alternative hypothesis,
µ > 150
It is a right tailed test.
a) Since the number of samples is small and no population standard deviation is given, the distribution is a student's t.
Since n = 13,
Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 13 - 1 = 12
t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)
Where
x = sample mean = 163.5
µ = population mean = 150
s = samples standard deviation = 75.2
t = (163.5 - 150)/(75.2/√13) = 0.65
The lower the test statistic value, the higher the p value and the higher the possibility of accepting the null hypothesis.
b) We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes
p = 0.26
Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.26, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, the sample data does not show significant evidence that the mean number of friends for the student population at the college who use the social media website is larger than 150.
c)
1.The test statistic value is the difference between the sample mean and the null hypothesis value.

The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min. If one such class is randomly selected, find the probability that the class length is between 50.1 and 51.1 min. P(50.1 < X < 51.1) =
Answer:
P(50.1 < X < 51.1) = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.
For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.
The probability that we find a value X between c and d is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(c < X < d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]
The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min.
This means that [tex]a = 50, b = 52[/tex]
So
[tex]P(50.1 < X < 51.1) = \frac{51.1 - 50.1}{52 - 50} = 0.5[/tex]

The percent, X, of shrinkage on drying for a certain type of plastic clay has an average shrinkage percentage :, where parameter : is unknown. A random sample of 45 specimens from this clay showed an average shrinking percentage of 18.4 and a standard deviation of 2.2. est at 5% level of significance whether the true average shrinkage percentage : is greater than 17.5 and write your conclusion. Report the p-value.
Answer:
[tex]t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=45-1=44[/tex]
The critical value for this case is [tex]t_{\alpha}=1.68[/tex] since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(44)}>2.744)=0.0044[/tex]
We see that the p value is lower than the significance level so then we can reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative.
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
[tex]\bar X=18.4[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]s=2.2[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation
[tex]n=45[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =17.5[/tex] represent the value to verify
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
We want to test if the true mean is higher than 17.5, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 17.5[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 17.5[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
And replacing we got:
[tex]t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=45-1=44[/tex]
The critical value for this case is [tex]t_{\alpha}=1.68[/tex] since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4
The p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(44)}>2.744)=0.0044[/tex]
We see that the p value is lower than the significance level so then we can reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative.

In 1970, 59% of college freshmen thought that capital punishment should be abolished; by 2005, the percentage had dropped to 35%. Is the difference real, or can it be explained by chance
Answer:
there is significant distinction in opinion regarding abolition of capital punishment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Compute the p cost of 2-proportion for estimating difference. The Minitab output pronounces the p valu eto be 0.000. This is less than the assumed importance degree of alpha = 0.05. Therefore, reject null hypothesis to finish that there is significant distinction in opinion regarding abolition of capital punishment.
The probability of winning on a slot machine is 5%. If a person plays the machine 500 times, find the probability of winning at least 30 times. Group of answer choices Greater than 0.60 Between 0.20 and 0.40 Between 0.01 and 0.20 Between 0.40 and 0.60 Almost 0
Answer:
Between 0.01 and 0.20
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 500, p = 0.05[/tex]
So
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 500*0.05 = 25[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{500*0.05*0.95} = 4.8734/tex]
Find the probability of winning at least 30 times.
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 30 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 29.5)[/tex]. So this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 29.5. Then
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{29.5 - 25}{4.8734}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.92[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.92[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8212
1 - 0.8212 = 0.1788
So the correct option is:
Between 0.01 and 0.20
