show your working (5marks)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a lowest common multiple question. So we list the multiples

20                   8

40                   16

60                   24

80                   32

                      40

40 is our lowest common multiple. Which means every 40 minutes they flash and chime together.

so if we add 40 minutes onto 08:00 we get 08:40 and if we add it again we get 09:20 and again we get 10:00 and again we get 10:40 and again we get 11:20 and again we get 12:00. We have to stop here as if we add 40 minutes again we will go over the given time of 12:30. If we count how many times it was added. this adds to 6. therefore the answer is 6.  

hope this helped.

Answer 2

The clock will chime and the light flashes together 6 times.

How many times the clock will chime and light flash together?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of a group of numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers.It is the lowest common multiple question. So we list the multiple

20                   8

40                   16

60                   24

80                   32

                     40

40 is our lowest common multiple. This means every 40 minutes they flash and chime together.

so if we add 40 minutes onto 08:00 we get 08:40 and if we add it again we get 09:20 and again we get 10:00

and again we get 10:40 and again we get 11:20 and again we get 12:00. We have to stop here as if we add 40 minutes again we will go over the given time of 12:30.

If we count how many times it was added. this adds to 6. therefore the answer is 6.  

Therefore the clock will chime and the light flashes together 6 times.

Answer: 120cm squared

Step-by-step explanation: To do this you can cut off one of the 'triangle ends' on the trapezoid and add it to the other side to make a rectangle. Since the top is 10cm, each triangle will have a base of 5cm, so the bases will be 15cm when you subtract 20-5. Then you just have 8 * 15 which is 120cm SQUARED.

Stock in Macy's costs $25.75 per share. Hector buys 200 shares of Macy's
through his broker who charges a commission of $25.75. How much did George
pay in total to purchase the stock?

Answers

Answer: $5175.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount that is paid in total to buy the stock will be gotten through the addition of the cost of the shares and the commission paid. This will be:

= (200 × $25.75) + $25.75

= $5150 + $25.75

= $5175.75

Therefore, the total amount that is paid to buy the stock will be $5175.75.

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

8/4 = (x+5)/(x-3)

A right pyramid PQRST has a rectangular base QRST. Given
that W is the midpoint of QS and RT, the lengths of QT = 8 cm,
TS = 6 cm and point P is vertically above point W, calculate
(a) PT, in cm, if PW = 12 cm
(b) the value of < PTR [angle PTR]

THANK YOU!!!​

Answers

Answer:

(a) PT = 13 cm

(b) <PTR = [tex]39.7^{o}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Applying the Pythagoras theorem to QST, we have;

[tex]QS^{2}[/tex] = [tex]ST^{2}[/tex] + [tex]QT^{2}[/tex]

      = [tex]6^{2}[/tex] + [tex]8^{2}[/tex]

[tex]QS^{2}[/tex] = 36 + 64

       100

QS = [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex]

     = 10

QS = 10 cm

Since QS = TR, then;

WT = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] TR

      = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 10

WT = 5 cm

Thus, applying Pathagoras theorem to PWT;

[tex]PT^{2}[/tex] = [tex]PW^{2}[/tex] + [tex]WT^{2}[/tex]

      = [tex]12^{2}[/tex] + [tex]5^{2}[/tex]

      = 144 + 25

[tex]PT^{2}[/tex] = 169

PT = [tex]\sqrt{169}[/tex]

    = 13

PT = 13 cm

(b) To determine <PTR, TR = 10 cm. Apply the required trigonometric function;

Cos θ = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Cos θ = [tex]\frac{10}{13}[/tex]

          = 0.7692

θ = [tex]Cos^{-1}[/tex] 0.7692

  = 39.7179

θ = [tex]39.7^{o}[/tex]

Therefore, <PTR = [tex]39.7^{o}[/tex]

An investigator compares the durability of two different compounds used in the manufacture of a certain automobile brake lining. A sample of 243 brakes using Compound 1 yields an average brake life of 37,866 miles. A sample of 268 brakes using Compound 2 yields an average brake life of 45,789 miles. Assume that the population standard deviation for Compound 1 is 4414 miles, while the population standard deviation for Compound 2 is 2368 miles. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the true difference between average lifetimes for brakes using Compound 1 and brakes using Compound 2. Step 2 of 3 : Calculate the margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Round your answer to six decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The margin of error is of 623.2016.

The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between average lifetimes for brakes using Compound 1 and brakes using Compound 2 is (-8546.2016, -7299.7984).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem, and subtraction between normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the subtraction of the means while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

A sample of 243 brakes using Compound 1 yields an average brake life of 37,866 miles. The population standard deviation for Compound 1 is 4414 miles.

This means that [tex]\mu_1 = 37866, s_1 = \frac{4414}{\sqrt{243}} = 283.16[/tex]

A sample of 268 brakes using Compound 2 yields an average brake life of 45,789 miles. The population standard deviation for Compound 2 is 2368 miles.

This means that [tex]\mu_2 = 45789, s_2 = \frac{2368}{\sqrt{268}} = 144.65[/tex]

Distribution of the difference between average lifetimes for brakes using Compound 1 and brakes using Compound 2.

The mean is:

[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 37866 - 45789 = -7923[/tex]

The standard deviation is:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{283.16^2 + 144.64^2} = 317.96[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

[tex]M = 1.96*317.96 = 623.2016[/tex]

The margin of error is of 623.2016.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -7923 - 623.2016 = -8546.2016

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -7923 + 623.2016 = -7299.7984

The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between average lifetimes for brakes using Compound 1 and brakes using Compound 2 is (-8546.2016, -7299.7984).

Students were asked to find the median of this data set.


Darcy said, "The median is the number in the middle of the list. So, the median is 21."


Darcy made a mistake.


Her mistake is that she did not _____

A) choose the data point that is in the data set most often

B) order the data points from least to greatest before finding the middle data point

C) ignore the data points that repeat in the data set

D) divide the middle data point by the total number of data points

,

The correct median of the data set is ___

A) 14

B) 16

C) 15

D) 14.5

E) 15.5

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B. The correct median of the data set is C, 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do a quick recap:

Mode is the average value that is found by adding up all the values and dividing them by the number of values you used.

Median is the number found in the very middle, so Darcy is correct about what a median is.

Mode is the number that appears most.

Notice that the numbers are not arranged in numerical order from least to greatest. She just took the number that she saw in the middle, without considering where it would stand if the numbers were ranked from least to most.

Here's a ranking of all the numbers from least to greatest:

8, 9, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 21

From this ranking, we can see that there are a total of 13 numbers. Therefore, the 7th number is the median, which means that the median is 15.
