The number of students that would be expected to be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is 8 students.

To find the number of students who would be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time, we need to calculate the number of students who take more than 90 minutes to complete the exam.

First, we calculate the z-score for the cutoff point of 90 minutes:

z = (90 - 80) / 10 = 1

Using a standard normal distribution table, we find that the probability of a student taking more than 90 minutes is approximately 0.1587.

Therefore, the expected number of students who would be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is:

0.1587 x 50 = 7.935

Rounding up to the nearest integer, we can expect 8 students to be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time.

The equation of the hyperbola is [tex](x + 3)^2/16 - (y - 5)^2/36[/tex] = 1.

The collection of all points in a plane such that the distance between any point on the curve and two fixed points (referred to as the foci) is constant is known as a hyperbola. Hyperbolas are a sort of conic section. A hyperbola contains two distinct branches and has the appearance of two curving branches that are mirror reflections of one another. A hyperbola's center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, and asymptotes are some of its most important characteristics. The center, which is the point around which the hyperbola is symmetric, is the midway of the line segment connecting the vertices.

Given that, the co-vertices are (1, 5) and (-7, 5).

Now, using the midpoint formula we have:

center = ((1+(-7))/2, (5+5)/2) = (-3, 5)

Now, the distance between center and vertex is a = 4.

Also, the distance between the center and each co-vertex is b = 6.

Now, the equation of the hyperbola is:

[tex](x - (-3))^2/4^2 - (y - 5)^2/6^2 = 1\\(x + 3)^2/16 - (y - 5)^2/36 = 1[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is [tex](x + 3)^2/16 - (y - 5)^2/36[/tex] = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the base of the right triangle

221^2 = 195^2 + b^2

b = 104 km

triangle area = 1/2 base * height =  1/2 * 104 * 195 = 10140 km^2

Now multiply by the height to find volume

10140 km^2  * 15 km  = 152100 km^3

The cardholder will pay an additional $1,471.66 in interest by making monthly payments of $200 until the balance is paid off instead of paying off the current balance in full.

First, we need to calculate the total interest that will accrue on the current balance of $4,528.34. We can do this using the formula

Interest = Balance x (APR/12)

where APR is the annual percentage rate and is divided by 12 to get the monthly interest rate. Plugging in the values, we get:

credit card Interest = $4,528.34 x (22.99%/12) = $87.80

So the total interest that will accrue on the current balance is $87.80.

Next, we need to calculate how long it will take to pay off the balance by making monthly payments of $200. We can use a credit card repayment calculator to do this, but we'll use a simplified formula here

Months = -log(1 - (Balance x (APR/12))/Payment) / log(1 + (APR/12))

where Payment is the monthly payment amount. Plugging in the values, we get

Months = -log(1 - ($4,528.34 x (22.99%/12))/$200) / log(1 + (22.99%/12)) = 29.6 months

So it will take about 30 months (or 2.5 years) to pay off the balance by making monthly payments of $200.

Finally, we can calculate how much more the cardholder will pay in total by subtracting the current balance from the total amount paid over 30 months

Total amount paid = $200 x 30 = $6,000

Total interest paid = $6,000 - $4,528.34 = $1,471.66

Since a side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 67°, the value of x is equal to 52°.

In Mathematics, the exterior angle theorem or postulate can be defined as a theorem which states that the measure of an exterior angle in a triangle is always equal in magnitude (size) to the sum of the measures of the two remote or opposite interior angles of that triangle.

By applying the exterior angle theorem, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the sum of the measure of the two interior remote or opposite angles in the given triangle is equal to the measure of angle x (∠x);

∠y + 67° = 180°

∠y = 180° - 67°

∠y = 113°

∠x = 180° - (15° + 113°)

a) The zero rates for the five maturities are: 1 year is 2.01%, 2 years is 2.48%, 3 years is 2.77%, 4 years is 1.73%, and 5 years is 4.32%.

b) The price of the security is $128.31.

a) To find the zero rates for all 5 maturities, we can use the formula for the present value of a bond:

PV = C / [tex](1+r)^n[/tex]

where PV is the present value,

C is the coupon payment,

r is the zero rate, and

n is the number of years to maturity.

We can solve for r by rearranging the formula:

r = [tex](C/PV)^{(1/n) }[/tex]- 1

Using the bond data given in the question, we can calculate the zero rates for each maturity as follows:

For the 1-year bond, PV = 98 and C = 0, so r = 2.01%.

For the 2-year bond, PV = 101, C = 2.48, and n = 2, so r = 2.48%.

For the 3-year bond, PV = 103, C = 2.91, and n = 3, so r = 2.77%.

For the 4-year bond, PV = 101, C = 2, and n = 4, so r = 1.73%.

For the 5-year bond, PV = 103, C = 5, and n = 5, so r = 4.32%.

Alternatively, we can use linear algebra to find the zero rates. We can write the present value equation in matrix form:

PV = A × x

where A is a matrix of coefficients, x is a vector of unknowns (the zero rates), and PV is a vector of present values.

To solve for x, we can use the equation:

x = ([tex]A^{-1}[/tex]) x PV

where ([tex]A^{-1}[/tex]) is the inverse of matrix A.

Using this method, we can solve for the zero rates as follows:

[2.01% ]

[2.48% ]

[2.77% ] = x

[1.73% ]

[4.32% ]

PV = [tex]A^{-1}[/tex] x  [98]

                   [101]

                   [103]

                   [101]

                   [103]

PV =   [-0.0201]

          [ 0.0248]

          [ 0.0277]

          [-0.0173]

          [ 0.0432]

b) To find the price of the security which pays cash flows of $10 in one year, $25 in two years, and $100 in four years, we can use the formula for the present value of a series of cash flows:

PV = [tex]C1/(1+r)^1 + C2/(1+r)^2 + C3/(1+r)^4[/tex]

where PV is the present value, C1, C2, and C3 are the cash flows, r is the zero rate, and the exponents correspond to the number of years until each cash flow is received.

Using the zero rates calculated in part (a), we can calculate the present value of each cash flow:

PV1 = $10 /(1+2.01 % [tex])^1[/tex] = $9.80

PV2 = $25/(1+2.48%[tex])^2[/tex] = $22.15

PV3 = $100/(1+1.73%[tex])^4[/tex] = $81.36

Then, the price of the security is the sum of the present values:

PV = $9.80 + $22.15 + $81.36 = $128.31

Therefore, the price of the security is $128.31.

The given information describes the measures of two angles, A and B. Angle A is represented as ∠A and has a measure of 6x-2 degrees. Angle B is represented as ∠B and has a measure of 4x+48 degrees. These measures are respectively shown in the colors #11accd and #28ae7b.

The question gives us two equations, one for angle A and one for angle B, in terms of x. We will have to solve for x and then find the measure of angle A.

To solve for x, we can set the expressions for ∠A and ∠B equal to each other and solve for x

∠A = ∠B

6x - 2 = 4x + 48

Subtracting 4x from both sides we get

2x - 2 = 48

Adding 2 to both sides we get

2x = 50

Dividing by 2 we get

x = 25

Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it into the expression for ∠A

∠A = 6x - 2

∠A = 6(25) - 2

By multiplying 6 with 25 we get

∠A = 150 - 2

By Subtracting we get

∠A = 148

Approximately 0.357 or 35.7% of customers require more than 12 minutes to check out.

Since the checkout times are exponentially distributed with a mean of 5.5 minutes, we can use the exponential distribution formula to find the probability that a customer will take more than 12 minutes to check out:

P(X > 12) = 1 - P(X ≤ 12)

where X is the checkout time.

To find P(X ≤ 12), we can use the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the exponential distribution, which is:

F(x) = 1 - e^(-λx)

where λ is the rate parameter of the distribution. For an exponential distribution with mean μ, the rate parameter λ is equal to 1/μ.

So, in our case, λ = 1/5.5 = 0.1818, and we can calculate P(X ≤ 12) as:

P(X ≤ 12) = F(12) = 1 - e^(-0.1818 × 12) ≈ 0.643

Therefore, the probability that a customer will take more than 12 minutes to check out is:

P(X > 12) = 1 - P(X ≤ 12) ≈ 1 - 0.643 ≈ 0.357

The value of "a" is approximately 1.83 given that the absolute value of the difference of the two roots of the quadratic equation "ax squared plus 5x minus 3 equals 0" is the square root of 61 divided by 3, and "a" is positive.

We are given that the absolute value of the difference between the two roots of the quadratic equation "ax squared plus 5x minus 3 equals 0" is the square root of 61 divided by 3, and "a" is positive. We need to find the value of "a".

Let the two roots of the equation be r1 and r2, where r1 is not equal to r2. Then, we have:

|r1 - r2| = √(61) / 3

The sum of the roots of the quadratic equation is given by r1 + r2 = -5 / a, and the product of the roots is given by r1 × r2 = -3 / a.

We can express the difference between the roots in terms of the sum and product of the roots as follows:

r1 - r2 = √((r1 + r2)² - 4r1r2)

Substituting the expressions we obtained earlier, we have:

r1 - r2 = √(((-5 / a)²) + (4 × (3 / a)))

Simplifying, we get:

r1 - r2 = √((25 / a²) + (12 / a))

Taking the absolute value of both sides, we get:

|r1 - r2| = √((25 / a²) + (12 / a))

Comparing this with the given expression |r1 - r2| = √(61) / 3, we get:

√((25 / a²) + (12 / a)) = √(61) / 3

Squaring both sides and simplifying, we get:

25 / a² + 12 / a - 61 / 9 = 0

Multiplying both sides by 9a², we get:

225 + 108a - 61a² = 0

Solving this quadratic equation for "a", we get:

a = (108 + √(108² + 4 × 61 × 225)) / (2 × 61)

Since "a" must be positive, we take the positive root:

a = (108 + √(108² + 4 × 61 × 225)) / (2 × 61) ≈ 1.83

Therefore, the value of "a" is approximately 1.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the mean annual salary of a random sample of 64 teachers from state X is less than $52,000 is approximately 0.005 or 0.5%.

The sampling distribution of the mean is normally distributed with a mean equal to the population mean and a standard deviation equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.

Here, we are given that the population mean is $54,000 and the population standard deviation is $5,000. We are also told that the sample size is n = 64.

To find the probability that the mean annual salary of a random sample of 64 teachers is less than $52,000, we need to standardize the sample mean using the sampling distribution of the mean.

Z = (x' - μ) / (σ / √n)

where x' is the sample mean, μ is the population mean, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

Substituting the given values, we get:

Z = (52,000 - 54,000) / (5,000 / √64)

= -2.56

We can then look up the probability of a standard normal variable being less than -2.56 using a standard normal table or calculator, which gives us a probability of approximately 0.005.

The smallest positive integer divisible by 6 and 2 that can be written using at least one 2 and one 6 is 6.

The smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 2 and 6 is their least common multiple (LCM), which is equal to the product of the highest power of each prime factor that appears in the factorization of 2 and 6.

The prime factorization of 2 is simply 2, while the prime factorization of 6 is 2 × 3. The highest power of 2 that appears in the factorization of 6 is just 2 itself, so the LCM of 2 and 6 is 2 × 3 = 6.

We are asked to write this integer using at least one 2 and one 6. We can do this by simply writing 6, which is the LCM of 2 and 6 and is divisible by both of them.

d) If a woman in this age group has a cholesterol level higher than 230mg/dl, it is considered high and puts her at risk of heart disease

To calculate the probability of a given woman in this age group having a cholesterol level less than 200mg/dl, we need to find the z-score first. The z-score is the number of standard deviations that a given value is from the mean. The formula to calculate the z-score is:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the given value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

For a cholesterol level of 200mg/dl, the z-score is:

z = (200 - 230) / 20 = -1.5

We can then use a z-table or calculator to find the probability of a z-score being less than -1.5, which is 0.0668 or approximately 6.68%.

Next, to find the probability of a given woman in this age group having a cholesterol level more than 200mg/dl, we can use the same process but subtract the probability of a z-score being less than -1.5 from 1 because the total probability is always 1.

So, the probability of a given woman in this age group having a cholesterol level more than 200mg/dl is:

1 - 0.0668 = 0.9332 or approximately 93.32%.

Finally, to find the probability of a given woman in this age group having a cholesterol level between 190mg/dl and 210mg/dl, we need to find the z-scores for both values.

For a cholesterol level of 190mg/dl, the z-score is:

z = (190 - 230) / 20 = -2

For a cholesterol level of 210mg/dl, the z-score is:

z = (210 - 230) / 20 = -1

We can then use the z-table or calculator to find the probability of a z-score being between -2 and -1, which is 0.1587 or approximately 15.87%.

Finally, a brief report on the guidance that you would give a woman having high cholesterol levels in this age group is:

It is essential to make lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and managing stress to lower cholesterol levels.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The system of equations modeling this scenario is as follows:

C = 11.50 + 0.9n

C = 13.25 + 0.55n.

b) The number of toppings where the cost is the same at either Pizza Palace or Tasty Pizza is 5.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations solved concurrently.

A system of equations is also called simultaneous equations because the equations are solved at the same time or simultaneously.

                              Pizza Palace    Tasty Pizza

Pizza cost per unit       $11.50             $13.25

Topping cost per unit  $0.90              $0.55

Let the number of toppings = n

Let the total cost for the pizza at each pizza place = c

Equations:

The total cost at Pizza Palace C = 11.50 + 0.9n... Equation 1

The total cost at Tasty Pizza, C = 13.25 + 0.55n... Equation 2

For the total cost, c, to be the same at the pizza places, Equation 1 must equate Equation 2:

That is, C = C.

Substituting the values of C:

11.50 + 0.9n = 13.25 + 0.55n

0.35n = 1.75

n = 5
