The following excerpt comes from the International Bottled Water Association
"In 2012, total U.S. bottled water consumption increased to 9.67 billion gallons, up from 9.1 billion gallons in 2011. In fact, 2012's consumption growth was the strongest it has been in five years. In addition,
per-capita consumption is up 5.3 percent in 2012, with every person in America drinking an average of 30.8 gallons of bottled water last year. Bottled water increased in absolute volume more than any other
beverage category in the U.S. Bottled water sales increased by 6.7 percent in 2012, and now total $11.8 billion."

(i) Estimate the per capita consumption from 2011 from data in the statement. Express your answer rounded correctly to the nearest tenth of a gallon.

Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, the estimate of the per capita consumption from 2011 is of 29.2 gallons.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

From the data, the 2012 consumption was 5.3% percent higher than in 2011, that is 105.3% of 1.053x. This consumption was of 30.8 gallons, hence:

1.053x = 30.8.

x = 30.8/1.053

x = 29.2.

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 65% salt and Solution B is 80% salt. She wants to obtain 120 ounces of a mixture that is 70% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

Answers

We can use these variables:

A = number of ounces for solution A
B = Number of ounces for solution B

A + B = 20

Now, we can use decimal conversions.

0.65A + 0.80B = 0.70(120)

Next step: We substitute A into 120 - B to show their relationship.

0.65(120 - B) + 0.80B = 84

Now onto the next equation:

78 - 0.65B + 0.80B = 84
0.80 - 0.65 = 0.15, so…

0.15B = 84 - 78
0.15B = 6
B = 6 divided by 0.15
B = 40 ounces

To find A, we can simply plug B into the starting equation.

A = 120 - 40
A = 60 ounces

Your final answer: The scientist should use 60 ounces of solution A and she should use 40 ounces of solution B. Yeah

Answers

Answer:

Using the rational root theorem, we know to divide the function by (x - 1).

(7x³ + 9x² - 12x - 4) / (x - 1) = 7x^2 + 16x + 4

Now we can further factorize 7x^2 + 16x + 4 into (7x + 2) and (x + 2).

Therefore, the original function can be rewritten as (x - 1) (7x + 2) (x + 2).

Using the factorized form above, the zeros of the function are 1, -2/7, and -2.

a and b are positive integers and 7a+ 5b= 49. Find the values of a and b.
3.1 What is a?
2 What is b?

Answers

Answer:

B = 49/5 - 7a/5

A = = -5b/7 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

7a+ 5b= 49

Solution:

Solving for a:

Add -5b to both sides:

[tex]7a+5b - 5b=49 - 5b[/tex][tex]7a = - 5b + 49[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7:

[tex] \cfrac{7a}{7} = \cfrac{ - 5b + 49}{7} [/tex][tex]a = \cfrac{ - 5b}{7} + 7[/tex]

Hence,a = -5b/7 + 7.

Solving for b:

Add -7a to both sides:

[tex]7a+5b+( - 7a)=49+(−7a)[/tex][tex]7a + 5b - 7a = 49 - 7a[/tex][tex]5b = 49 - 7a[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5:

[tex] \cfrac{5b}{5} = \cfrac{49 - 7a}{5} [/tex][tex]b = \cfrac{49}{5} - \cfrac{7a}{5} [/tex]

Hence,b = 49/5 - 7a/5.

Assume that a procedure yeilds a binomial with n trial and the probability of success for one trial is p. Use the given values of n and p to find the mean and standard deviation. Also, use the range rule of thumb to find the minimum usual value mean -2standard deviation and the maximum usual value mean + 2 standard deviation n=1490,p=2/5

Answers

The value of minimum usual value is, [tex]\mu-2\sigma=-119.2[/tex]

The value of maximum usual value is, [tex]\mu+2\sigma=1311.2[/tex]

Given the values of the parameters of Binomial Distribution are,

Total number of trials (n) = 1490

probability of success in one trial is (p) = 2/5

The probability of failure in on trial is given by,

[tex]q=1-p=1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5-2}{5}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

For Binomial distribution we know that,

Mean [tex](\mu)=np=1490\times\frac{2}{5}=596[/tex]

and Standard Deviation [tex](\sigma)=\sqrt{npq}=\sqrt{1490\times\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{3}{5}}=357.6[/tex]

Now, calculating the required measurement we get,

The minimum usual value is given by,

Mean -2 Standard Deviation [tex]=\mu-2\sigma=596-2\times357.6=-119.2[/tex]

The maximum usual value is given by,

Mean + 2 Standard Deviation [tex]=\mu+2\sigma=596+2\times357.6=1311.2[/tex]

Hence the minimum and maximum usual values are -119.2 and 1311.2 respectively.

The value of the car as it ages can be modeled by the function V = 20 , 000 ( 0 . 84 ) t , where t is the number of years from the time of purchase. One of the factors John is using to make his decision is the value of the car over time until it reaches half its original value. What values of domain are reasonable for the given function in this context?
A. all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and less than 2.8
B. all real numbers greater than or equal to 10,000 and less than or equal to 20,000
C. all real numbers greater than or equal to 0
D. all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and less than 4

Answers

Option D is the correct answer.

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and less than 4.

What is Domain?

The domain of a function is the set of its possible inputs, i.e., the set of input values where for which the function is defined.

Here, The function of the car value is given as:

V(x) = 20000 X (0.84)ˣ

When the car reaches half its value, we have:

V(x) = 10000

Substitute V(x) = 10000 in V(x) = 20000 * (0.84)ˣ

10000 = 20000 X (0.84)ˣ

Divide both sides by 20000

0.84ˣ = 0.5

Take the logarithm of both sides

x log(0.84) = log(0.5)

Divide both sides by log(0.84)

           x = 4

This means that the maximum value of x is 4.

Thus, all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and less than 4.

What is a linear function?

A straight line on the coordinate plane is represented by a linear function.

A linear function always has the same and constant slope.

The formula for a linear function is f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are real values.

As per the given,

Water needed = 0.75 liters per hour

For x number of hours = 0.75x liters

Reserved water = 1.8 liters.

Total water needs for x hours = (0.75x + 1.8)

The number of hours that can be hiked with 9 liters will be as,

(0.75x + 1.8) = 9

x = 9.6 hours.

Hence "The number of hours that Bret can hike with 9 liters of water is 9.6 hours".
