Two college roommates have each committed to donating to charity each week for the next year. The roommates’ weekly incomes are

independent of each other. Suppose the amount donated in a week by one roommate is approximately normal with mean $30 and standard deviation $10, and the amount donated in a week by the other roommate is approximately normal with mean $60 and standard deviation $20. Which of the following is closest to the expected number of weeks in a 52-week year that their combined donation will exceed $120 ?0; the combined donation never exceeds $120 in a weekA1 weekB3 weeksC5 weeksD8 weeks

The answer is C. 5 weeks. To find how many weeks the total donations exceed $120, we start with two independent normally-distributed variables X and Y. First, we calculate the probability that their sum exceeds $120. The expected number of weeks can subsequently be computed by multiplying the probability of exceeding $120 by the number of weeks in a year, which is 52. The closest answer given is C. 5 weeks.

Laura is the fund-raising manager for a local charity. She is ordering caps for an upcoming charity walk. The company that makes
Zina [12379]

Let x represent the number of caps

cost per cap = $6

cost for x caps = 6x

shipping charge = $25

overall budget = $1000

We can set up the following inequality:

Because the total amount cannot exceed 1000, we have

25 + 6x ≤ 1000

6x ≤ 975

x ≤ 162.5

rounding,

x ≤ 163

This means she can purchase a maximum of 163 caps.

Leona [12618]

Answer:

Hello! Your question appears to be missing details; here is the complete version

Ix = 0   Ux = \sqrt{y-9z^2}

Iz = 0   Uz = \frac{\sqrt{y} }{3}

Iy = 5   Uy = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Ix = 0   Ux = \sqrt{y-9z^2}

Iz = 0   Uz = \frac{\sqrt{y} }{3}

Iy = 5   Uy = 10

This provides a comprehensive solution below

The temperature, H, in degrees Celsius, of a cup of coffee placed on the kitchen counter is given by H = f(t), where t is in min
Leona [12618]

Response:

a

    f'(t) is negative

b

 The unit is degC/min

c

At 35 minutes since the coffee was placed on the counter, the temperature is 68, and it will drop by approximately 0.75 in the next 30 seconds.

Detailed explanation:

According to the question, we are informed that

   The temperature of a cup of coffee on a counter is represented by the equation

         H= f(t)

where t indicates the time in minutes since the coffee was set on the counter.

In general, f(t)' denotes the derivative of f(t), indicating the change in temperature over time for the coffee

As the coffee rests on the counter, its temperature tends to decrease after a few minutes; thus, f(t)' is negative.

The temperature is measured in degrees Celsius while time is expressed in minutes.

Therefore, the change in temperature with respect to time, f(35)', will be given in degrees Celsius per minute (i.e., degC/min).

The question states that

        |f(35)'| = 1.5

which means the rate of temperature change after 35 minutes is 1.5.

And

         |f(35)| = 68

indicating that the coffee's temperature after 35 minutes is 67 degrees Celsius.

Subsequently, after another t= 30 seconds = \frac{30}{60}= 0.5 \ minutes the rate at which the coffee's temperature changes is

          R = |f(35)'| * t

=>        R = 1.5 * 0.5

=>        R = 0.75    

Thus

At 35 minutes since the coffee was placed on the counter, its temperature is 68 and will drop by roughly 0.75 in the next 30 seconds.
