Kane is preparing for a marathon and initially runs 3 miles each training session, planning to extend his distance by a quarter mile each week. Denote w as the number of weeks; construct an expression that reflects the distance Kane covers during a training session after w weeks. The solution is given by: (11 + w) / 4. Explanation: He starts with 3 miles per session and adds 1/4 mile weekly. Thus, after w weeks, the distance becomes: = 3 + (w - 1) × 1/4 = 3 + (w/4 - 1/4) = (12 + w - 1) / 4 = (11 + w) / 4.

According to Consumer Digest (July/August 1996), the probable location of personal computers (PC) in the home is as follows: Adu
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

a) 0.32

b) 0.68

c) Office or den

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The likelihood that a personal computer is located in a bedroom can be calculated by adding the probabilities of it being in an adult bedroom, child bedroom, or another bedroom:

P(B) =P(adult)+P(child)+P(other)\\P(B) = 0.03+0.15+0.14\\P(B) =0.32

b) The probability of a PC not being located in a bedroom is found by calculating 100% minus the probability of it being in a bedroom:

P(Not\ B) = 1- P(B)\\P(Not\ B) =1-0.32\\P(Not\ B) =0.68

c) The expected location for finding a personal computer in a randomly selected household is derived from the room most likely to contain a PC according to Consumer Digest. The Office or den ranks as the most likely place with a probability of 0.40.

A PC would most likely be found in the Office or den.

The community college fine arts department sold three kinds of tickets to its latest dance presentation. The adult tickets sold
babunello [11817]
Adult tickets sold = 75, Students = 200, Children = 75. To find the values, we use the variables for adult tickets, students, and children and set a series of equations based on the total tickets sold and both the pricing and quantity, leading to a solution of ticket counts.

Emi computes the mean and variance for the population data set 87, 46, 90, 78, and 89. She finds the mean is 78. Her steps for f
AnnZ [12381]
Let’s determine the actual mean

First, we sum all the values

87+46+90+78+89 = 390

Then, we divide 390 by the count of numbers present.

390/5 = 78

Thus, the mean is 78

Find the value of $x$ that maximizes $$f(x) = \log (-20x + 12\sqrt{x}).$$ If there is no maximum value, write "NONE".
zzz [12365]
The function can be expressed as:
f(x) = log(-20x + 12√x)
To ascertain the maximum value, differentiate the equation with respect to x and set the derivative to zero. The procedure unfolds as follows.

The differentiation formula is:
d(log u)/dx = du/u ln(10)
Thus,
d/dx = (-20 + 6/√x)/(-20x + 12√x)(ln 10) = 0
-20 + 6/√x = 0
6/√x = 20
From which we derive x = (6/20)² = 9/100

Therefore,
f(x) = log(-20(9/100)+ 12√(9/100)) = 0.2553

The function's maximum value is 0.2553.
