The total expenditure on fuel for the trip is approximately $18.50.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Fuel efficiency = 8 miles per gallon

Cost per gallon = 83 cents

To find the fuel cost for traveling from Oban to Stranraer, we must know the distance which is roughly 178 miles.

Step one:

Calculate gallons of fuel required (x) =

\frac{Total distance}{x gallon} = \frac{average distance}{gallon}

\frac{178}{x gallon} = \frac{ 8}{gallon}

x gallons = \frac{178}{8}  = 22.25 gallon

The calculated fuel consumption for the trip is 22.25 gallons.

Step two:

Determine total fuel cost

= Fuel used × Price per gallon

= 22.25 gallons × $0.83 = 1846.75 cents, equivalent to $18.47 or rounded to $18.50 (nearest 5 cents)

Answer:

$18.56

Detailed solution:    

The given distance from Oban to Stranraer is 178.9 miles.

First, determine the gallons of fuel consumed by dividing this distance by the vehicle's mileage (miles per gallon).

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{gallon}}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8}\times \frac{\text{gallon}}{\text{miles}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=22.3625\text{gallon}

Next, calculate the total fuel expense by multiplying the amount of fuel used by the price per gallon, which is $0.83.

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=22.3625\times\$0.83

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=\$18.560875\approx \$18.56

Hence, the total fuel cost for this trip amounts to $18.56.

Samir buys x cans of soda at 30 cents each and (x+4) cans of soda at 35 cents each. The total cost was $3.35. Find x
zzz [12365]
0.30x represents the expense for the first soda type. 0.35(x+4) signifies the price for the second type of soda. Combine these amounts into an equation structured as:

Cost of Soda A + Cost of Soda B = Total Cost
0.30x + 0.35(x+4)=3.35 --> Expand 0.35(x+4)
0.30x + 0.35x + 1.4 = 3.35 --> Combine the x's and subtract 1.40.65x = 1.95 --> By dividing by 0.65, we find
x = 3

Samir purchases 3 cans of soda priced at 30 cents each and 7 cans (3+4) at 35 cents each. The overall total for Samir's soda is 10 cans.

To get the best deal on a microwave oven, Jeremy called six appliance stores and asked the cost of a specific model. The prices
babunello [11817]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices he received quotes for are as follows: $663, $273, $410, $622, $174, $374

To begin, we will find the average.

Average = total of data points/ number of data points.

Total of data points =

663 + 273 + 410 + 622 + 174 + 374

= 2516

Total count = 6

Average = 2516/6 = 419.33

Standard deviation = √summation(x - m)^2/n

summation(x - m)^2/n = (663 - 419.33)^2 + (273 - 419.33)^2 + (410 - 419.33)^2 + (622 - 419.33)^2 + (174 - 419.33)^2 + (374 - 419.33)^2

= 179417.9334/6 = 29902.9889

Standard deviation = √29902.9889

= 172.9

Explain what you can tell just by comparing the symbols in a picture graph
AnnZ [12381]
In a pictorial graph, icons are utilized to depict the data presented. For instance, if a survey was conducted regarding food preferences at a barbecue, we might incorporate images of a hamburger, a hot dog, and a chicken leg. However, we cannot deduce the quantities involved merely by juxtaposing the icons.

Answer:

Wyjaśnienie krok po kroku:

Załóżmy, że prostokąt ma wierzchołki (x,y,z) w dodatnim oktancie.  Prostokątny pudełko musi być symetryczne względem wszystkich trzech osi.

Wtedy jego boki to

2x,2y,2z

Objętość = 8xyz

Maksymalizuj objętość przy założeniu

x^2+y^2+z^2 =1

tj. g(x,y,z) = x^2+y^2+z^2 -1=0

Użyj mnożników Lagrange'a, mamy

∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z)przy maksimum

∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z) =(8yz,8xz,8xy)\\∇g(x,y,z)=(2x,2y,2z)

8yz=2λx8xz=2λy8xy=2λz

Dzieląc otrzymujemy

\frac{y}{x} =\frac{x}{y} \\x^2=y^2

Podobnie y^2=z^2

Zatem otrzymujemy 3x^2 =1\\x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }

Stąd wymiary to

Construct an interval estimate for the given parameter using the given sample statistic and margin of error. For μ1-μ2, using x¯
zzz [12365]

Answer: CI = (0, 8)

Step-by-step explanation: The confidence interval for the difference in means is given as

Lower limit

= (x1 - x2) + margin of error

Upper limit

= (x1 - x2) - margin of error

Where x1 - x2 = 8 and the margin of error = 8

For the lower limit,

= 8 - 8 = 0

For the upper limit

= 8 + 8 = 16

Thus, CI = (0, 8)
