A pie chart, often known as a circle chart, is a visual representation of the various values of a specific variable or a means to summarise a set of nominal data (e.g. percentage distribution). This kind of chart consists of a circle with numerous segments. A certain category is represented by each segment.

Given data:

Number of mystery books = 18% of 600

= 18*600 / 100

= 108

Number of historical fiction books = 10% of 600

= 10*600 / 100

= 60

Difference = Number of mystery books - Number of historical fiction books

Difference = 108 - 60

Difference = 48

Thus, number of more people who prefer mystery books over historical

fiction books are 48.

the probability of selecting a tool produced by the old method on the first attempt and a tool produced by the new method on the second attempt is:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B | A) = 0.8305 * 0.1998 = 0.1660

How to solve the questions?

Part A:

Let A be the event that the first tool selected is acceptable and B be the event that the second tool selected is acceptable.

We need to find the probability of P(A and B), which can be calculated using the multiplication rule of probability as follows:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B | A)

where P(A) is the probability of selecting an acceptable tool on the first attempt and P(B | A) is the conditional probability of selecting an acceptable tool on the second attempt given that the first tool selected was acceptable.

P(A) = (1640 + 328) / (1640 + 328 + 23 + 9) = 0.985

P(B | A) = (1639 + 327) / (1640 + 328 + 23 + 9 - 1) = 0.985

Therefore, the probability of both selections being acceptable is:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B | A) = 0.985 * 0.985 = 0.9702

The events are dependent because the probability of selecting an acceptable tool on the second attempt depends on the result of the first attempt.

Part B:

Let A be the event that the first tool selected is produced by the old method and B be the event that the second tool selected is produced by the new method.

We need to find the probability of P(A and B), which can be calculated using the multiplication rule of probability as follows:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B | A)

where P(A) is the probability of selecting a tool produced by the old method on the first attempt and P(B | A) is the conditional probability of selecting a tool produced by the new method on the second attempt given that the first tool selected was produced by the old method.

P(A) = (1640 + 23) / (1640 + 328 + 23 + 9) = 0.8305

P(B | A) = 328 / (1640 + 328 + 23 + 9 - 1) = 0.1998

Therefore, the probability of selecting a tool produced by the old method on the first attempt and a tool produced by the new method on the second attempt is:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B | A) = 0.8305 * 0.1998 = 0.1660

The events are dependent because the probability of selecting a tool produced by the new method on the second attempt depends on the result of the first attempt.

To convert 1/2% to a ratio, we first convert it to a decimal by dividing by 100:

1/2% = 1/2 ÷ 100 = 0.005

Then we express this decimal as a ratio by putting it in the form of x:y:

0.005 = x:y

To simplify this ratio, we can multiply both sides by a factor that will make x and y whole numbers. For example, we can multiply both sides by 100:

0.005 × 100 = x:y × 100

0.5 = x:y

So 1/2% as a ratio is 1:200.

1/2% is equivalent to 0.5% or 0.005 as a decimal.

To express 0.005 as a ratio, you can write it as a fraction with a numerator of 0.005 and a denominator of 1. Then, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal and express it as a ratio.

0.005/1 = (0.005

Therefore, 1/2% is equivalent to the ratio 0.5:100 or 1:200.

The solution to the equation 123x + 360y = 99 is x = 22 and y = -11.

What is Linear Diophantine Equation?

An equation with two or more integer unknowns that are all to a maximum degree of one is known as a linear diophantine equation (LDE).

To solve the equation 123x + 360y = 99, we can use the extended Euclidean algorithm, which is a method for finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers and expressing it as a linear combination of those integers. We can use the same algorithm to find a solution to the given equation.

First, we need to find the GCD of 123 and 360. We can use the Euclidean algorithm for this:

gcd(123, 360) = gcd(123, 360 - 123*2) = gcd(123, 114)

gcd(123, 114) = gcd(123 - 114, 114) = gcd(9, 114)

gcd(9, 114) = gcd(9, 114 - 9*12) = gcd(9, 6)

gcd(9, 6) = gcd(9 - 6*1, 6) = gcd(3, 6)

gcd(3, 6) = gcd(3, 6 - 3*2) = gcd(3, 0)

gcd(3, 0) = 3

Therefore, the GCD of 123 and 360 is 3.

Now we can use the extended Euclidean algorithm to find integers s and t such that 123s + 360t = 3. This is done by working backwards through the Euclidean algorithm and expressing each remainder as a linear combination of the previous two integers:

gcd(123, 360) = 3

3 = 123s + 360t

3 = 9 - 114

 = 9 - (360 - 123*2)

 = 123*2 - 360*1

s = 2, t = -1

Now we can multiply both sides of the equation by 33 to get a solution to the original equation:

123x + 360y = 99

123*2*33 + 360*(-1)*33 = 3*33

123*66 + 360*(-33) = 99

Finally, we can divide both sides by 3 to get a solution in integers:

123*22 + 360*(-11) = 33

Therefore, x = 22 and y = -11 is a solution to the equation 123x + 360y = 99.

You want the dimensions and volume of a cuboid that can be made from an 18 in square of cardboard when an x-inch square is cut from two adjacent corners, and an x-inch by 9-inch rectangle is cut from the other two corners.

The longest side of the cuboid will have length (18 -2x). The second longest side will have length (18 -9 -x) = (9 -x). The shortest side will have length x.

The volume of the cuboid is the product of these side lengths:

  V = (18 -2x)(9 -x)(x) = 2x(9 -x)²

The value of x that maximizes volume will be the value that makes the derivative with respect to x be zero.

  V' = 2(9 -x)² -4x(9 -x) = (9 -x)(2(9 -x) -4x) = 2(9 -x)(9 -3x)

  V' = 6(9 -x)(3 -x)

The derivative will be zero when its factors are zero, at x=9 and x=3. The value x=9 gives zero volume.

The value x=3 gives a volume of ...

  V = 2·3(9 -3)² = 6³ = 216 . . . . . cubic inches

The length of the base with area 25/18 square meters is 5/3 meters. This answer is in its simplest form.

The height of a triangle is the length of the line segment that is drawn from the vertex of the triangle perpendicular to the base.

The area of a triangle is given by the equation

A = 1/2 * base * height.

Therefore, we can substitute the value of the area and the height of the triangle into the equation to solve for the base.

A = 1/2 * b * (5/3)

25/18 = 1/2 * b * (5/3)

We will divide left side of the equation by 5/3.

(25/18) / (5/3) = (1/2)*b

(25/18) * 3/5 = (1/2)*b

Now, we can solve for b by dividing the left side of the equation by 1/2

(5/6) / (1/2) = b

b = 5/6 * (2/1)

b = 5/3

Therefore, the length of the base is 5/3 meters. This answer is in its simplest form.

The period of the pendulum when the length is 3 ft is approximately 2.08 seconds.

What is the period?

We are given that the period P varies directly as the square root of the length L of the pendulum. We can write this as:

P ∝ √L

Using a proportionality constant k, we can write this as an equation:

P = k√L

To find the value of k, we can use the information given in the problem: when L = 2 ft, P = 1.8 s. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:

1.8 = k√2

To solve for k, we can isolate it by dividing both sides by √2:

k = 1.8 / √2

Now we can use this value of k to find the period when the length is 3 ft. Substituting L = 3 ft and the value of k we just found into the equation, we get:

P = k√L

P = (1.8 / √2) √3

P ≈ 2.08 seconds

Therefore, the period of the pendulum when the length is 3 ft is approximately 2.08 seconds.

An arc is a section of a circle's or curve's border in mathematics. It is additionally known as an open shape. The circumference, also referred to as the perimeter, is the measurement around a circular that defines its edge. Consequently, the arc is defined as the separation between any two locations along its circumference.

The angle that an arc of a circle subtends at the center is called the central angle. The central angle is measured in degrees and is formed by the radii that make up the arc.

Given:

Radius of the circle (r) = 7 cm

Length of the arc (s) = 14 cm

To find the central angle (θ) of the arc, we can use the formula:

θ = (s / r) * (180 / π)

where:

s = length of the arc

r = radius of the circle

π = pi (approximately 3.14159...)

Plugging in the given values:

θ = (14 / 7) * (180 / π)

θ = 2 * (180 / π)

The sum of the given expression is equal to 3.

The process of numerical integration involves applying numerical techniques to approximate the value of a determined integral of a function across a specified interval. To approximate integrals that are challenging or impossible to solve analytically, it is employed in calculus.

Numerical integration works by breaking the integration interval into smaller subintervals, approximating the function over each subinterval with a simple function, and then summing the areas under the curve of the approximating function over each subinterval to estimate the integral.

Determine the value of f(xi):

f(x1) = (0-2)^3 = (-2)³ = -8

f(x2) = (1-2)^3 = (-1)³ = -1

f(x3) = (2-2)^3 = 0³ = 0

f(x4) = (3-2)^3 = 1³ = 1

f(x5) = (4-2)^3 = 2³ = 8

f(x6) = (5-2)^3 = 3³ = 27

Substituting the value in the given summation we have:

Σ i = 1 to 6 f(xi) Δ x = f(x1) Δ x + f(x2) Δ x + f(x3) Δ x + f(x4) Δ x + f(x5) Δ x + f(x6) Δ x

Next, we subtract the state income tax from his annual salary to get his annual net income:

$42,350 - $1,292.94 = $41,057.06

Finally, we divide his annual net income by 12 to get his monthly take-home pay:

$41,057.06 / 12 = $3,421.42
