Answer:
To make 16 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 16.
To make 4 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 4.
To make 12 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 12.
see explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ingredients to make 1 pancake is as follows:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 31/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt.
1 tablespoon white sugar.; 1 1/4 cups milk; 1 egg; and 3 tablespoons butter.
Then to make 16 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 16.
cups all-purpose flour =16× 1 1/2
= 16×3/2 = 24
teaspoons baking powder = 16 ×7/2 = 56
teaspoon salt = 1×16 = 16
tablespoon white sugar= 1×16 = 16
cups milk= 16×5/4 = 20
egg= 1×16 = 16
tablespoons butter= 3×16 = 48
Then to make 4 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 4.
cups all-purpose flour =4× 1 1/2
= 4×3/2 = 6
teaspoons baking powder = 4 ×7/2 =14
teaspoon salt = 1×4 = 4
tablespoon white sugar= 1×4 = 4
cups milk= 4×5/4 = 5
egg= 1×4 = 4
tablespoons butter= 3×4 = 12
Then to make 12 pancakes, we would multiply each of the initial measurement of the ingredients by 12.
cups all-purpose flour =12× 1 1/2
= 12×3/2 = 18
teaspoons baking powder = 12 ×7/2 =42
teaspoon salt = 1×12 = 12
tablespoon white sugar= 1×12 = 12
cups milk= 12×5/4 = 15
egg= 1×12 = 12
tablespoons butter= 3×12 = 36

Determine whether the following statement is true or false. If it is false, rewrite it as a true statement. A double-blind experiment is used to increase the placebo effect. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is false. Double blinding has no effect on the placebo effect. B. The statement is false. Double blinding is used to increase the randomization. C. The statement is true. D. The statement is false. Double blinding is used to decrease the placebo effect.
Answer:
D. The statement is false. Double blinding is used to decrease the placebo effect.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a double blind study, neither researchers nor the participants know which group is receiving the placebo. If the researchers do not know which group took the medication, they cannot influence the behavior of this group, knowingly or nor, by suggesting how they should behave.
Therefore, a double-blind experiment is used to decrease the placebo effect.
A square mesaures 80 yd on a side. Bob and Rob begin running from the same corner. Bob runs along a side to an adjacent corner, and Rob runs along a diagonal to an opposite corner. They arrive at their respective corners at the same time. If Bob's speed was 8mi/h, what was Rob's speed? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
c = 11.3 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Square has all of the same sides, hence bobs speed will be the same for all of the sides.
All of the sides are equal in a square
=> Let's consider the two sides along with the diagonal a right angled triangle
=> [tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]
Where c is the speed of Rob along the diagonal and b and c is the speed of Bob along the side
=> [tex]c^2 = 8^2+8^2[/tex]
=> [tex]c^2 = 64+64[/tex]
=> [tex]c^2 = 128\\[/tex]
Taking sq root on both sides
=> c = 11.3 mi/h

A researcher is interested in determining the mean energy consumption of a new
compact florescent light bulb. She takes a random sample of 41 bulbs and determines
that the mean consumption is 1.3 watts per hour with a standard deviation of 0.7.
When constructing a 97% confidence interval, which would be the most appropriate
value of the critical value?
A) 1.936
B) 2.072
C) 2.250
D) 2.704
E) 2.807
Answer:
The most appropriate value of the critical value is 2.289.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a researcher takes a random sample of 41 bulbs and determines that the mean consumption is 1.3 watts per hour with a standard deviation of 0.7.
We have to find that when constructing a 97% confidence interval, which would be the most appropriate value of the critical value.
Firstly, as we know that the test statistics that would be used here is t-test statistics because we don't know about the population standard deviation.
So, for finding the critical value we will look for t table at (41 - 1 = 40) degrees of freedom at the level of significance will be [tex]\frac{1 - 0.97}{2} = 0.015[/tex] .
Now, as we can see that in the t table the critical values for P = 1.5% are not given, so we will interpolate between P = 2.5% and P = 1%, i.e;
[tex]\frac{0.015 - 0.025}{0.025-0.01}= \frac{\text{Critcal value}-2.021}{2.021-2.423}[/tex]
So, the critical value at a 1.5% significance level is 2.289.
A restaurant operator in Accra has found out that during the partial lockdown, if she sells a plate of her food for GH¢20 each, she can sell 300 plates, but for each GH¢5 she raises the price, 10 less plates are sold.
Draw a table of cost relating to number of plates using 6 values of cost and its corresponding number of plates bought.
What price in GH¢ should she sell the plates to maximize her revenue?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, note this parameters from the question.
We let x = number of $5 increases and number of 10 decreases in plates sold.
Our Revenue equation is:
R(x) = (300-10x)(10+5x)
We expand the above equation into a quadratic equation by multiplying each bracket:
R(x) = 3000 + 1500x - 3000x - 1500x^2
R(x) = -1500x^2 - 1500x + 3000 (collect like terms)
Next we simplify, by dividing through by -1500
= 1500x^2/1500 - 1500x/1500 + 3000/1500
= X^2 - x + 2
X^2 - x + 2 = 0
Next, we find the axis of symmetry using the formula x = -b/(2*a) where b = 1, a = 1
X = - (-1)/2*1
X = 1/2
Number of $5 increases = $5x1/2 = $2.5
=$2.5 + $20 = $22.5 ticket price gives max revenue.

The marginal cost (dollars) of printing a poster when x posters have been printed is given by the following equation. C'(x)=x^-3/4 Find the cost of printing 142 more posters when 18 have already been printed.
The cost of printing 142 more posters when 18 have already been printed is $________.
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
Answer:
The cost of printing 142 more posters when 18 has already been printed is $5.57.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the marginal cost (dollars) of printing a poster when x posters have been printed is given by the following equation C'(x)=x^-3/4.
The given equation is: [tex]C'(x) = x^{\frac{-3}{4} }[/tex]
The cost of printing 142 more posters when 18 have already been printed is given by;
Integrating both sides of the equation and using the limits we get;
[tex]\int_{a}^{b} C'(x) dx=\int_{18}^{142} x^{\frac{-3}{4}}dx[/tex]
As we know that [tex]\int\limits {x}^{n} \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1} }{n+1}[/tex] , so;
= [tex]\frac{x^{\frac{-3}{4}+1 } }{\frac{-3}{4}+1 } ]^{142} __1_8[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{x^{\frac{1}{4} } }{\frac{1}{4} } ]^{142} __1_8[/tex]
= [tex]4[x^{\frac{1}{4} } } ]^{142} __1_8[/tex]
= [tex]4[(142)^{\frac{1}{4} }- (18)^{\frac{1}{4} }} ][/tex]
= $5.57
Hence, the cost of printing 142 more posters when 18 has already been printed is $5.57.
In the following problem, the expression is the right side of the formula for cos (alpha - beta) with particular values for alpha and beta. cos (79 degree) cos (19 degree) + sin (79 degree) sin (19 degree)
Identify alpha and beta in each expression.
The value for alpha: degree
The value for beta: degree
Write the expression as the cosine of an angle. cos degree
Find the exact value of the expression. (Type an exact answer, using fraction, radicals and a rationalized denominator.)
Answer:
1. [tex]\alpha = 79[/tex] and [tex]\beta = 19[/tex]
2. [tex]cos(60)[/tex]
3. [tex]cos(60) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]cos(\alpha - \beta )[/tex]
[tex]cos(79)cos(19) + sin(79)sin(19)[/tex]
Solving for [tex]\alpha[/tex] and [tex]\beta[/tex]
In trigonometry;
[tex]cos(\alpha - \beta ) = cos\alpha\ cos\beta + sin\alpha\ sin\beta[/tex]
Equate the above expression to [tex]cos(79)cos(19) + sin(79)sin(19)[/tex]
[tex]cos(\alpha - \beta ) = cos\alpha\ cos\beta + sin\alpha\ sin\beta[/tex] and [tex]cos(\alpha - \beta ) = cos(79)cos(19) + sin(79)sin(19)[/tex]
By comparison
[tex]cos\alpha\ cos\beta + sin\alpha\ sin\beta = cos(79)cos(19) + sin(79)sin(19)[/tex]
Compare expression on the right hand side to the left hand side
[tex]cos\alpha\ cos\beta = cos(79)cos(19) \\\\ sin\alpha\ sin\beta = sin(79)sin(19)[/tex]
This implies that
[tex]cos\alpha\ = cos(79)\\cos\beta = cos(19) \\\\ and\\\\sin\alpha\ = sin(79)\\sin\beta = sin(19)[/tex]
By further comparison
[tex]\alpha = 79[/tex] and [tex]\beta = 19[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\alpha = 79[/tex] and [tex]\beta = 19[/tex] in [tex]cos(\alpha - \beta )[/tex]
[tex]cos(\alpha - \beta ) = cos(79 - 19)[/tex]
[tex]cos(\alpha - \beta ) = cos(60)[/tex]
Hence, the expression is [tex]cos(60)[/tex]
Solving for the exact values;
Express [tex]cos(60)[/tex] as a difference of angles
[tex]cos(60) = cos(90 - 30)[/tex]
Recall that [tex]cos(\alpha - \beta ) = cos\alpha\ cos\beta + sin\alpha\ sin\beta[/tex]
So;
[tex]cos(90- 30 ) = cos(90) cos(30) + sin(90) sin(30)[/tex]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In trigonometry;
[tex]cos(90) = 0[/tex]; [tex]cos(30) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{{2}}[/tex]; [tex]sin(90) = 1[/tex]; [tex]sin(30) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex];
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[tex]cos(90- 30 ) = cos(90) cos(30) + sin(90) sin(30)[/tex] becomes
[tex]cos(90- 30 ) = 0 * \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + 1 * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]cos(90- 30 ) = 0 + \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]cos(90- 30 ) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence;
[tex]cos(60) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Students in management science class have just received their grades on the first test. The instructor has provided information about the first test grades in some previous classes as well as the final average for the same students. Some of these grades have been sampled and are as follow:
1st test Grade 98 77 88 80 96 61 64 95 79
Final average 93 78 84 75 84 64 66 95 86
Develop a regression model that could be used to predict the final average in the course based on the first test grade.
Predict the final average of a students who made an 83 on the first test.
Give the value of r and r2 for this model.
Interpret the value of r2 in the context of this problem.
Answer:
The regression model is:
y = 20.29 + 0.73·x
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case a regression model is to be formed to predict the final average in the course based on the first test grade.
Use Excel to form the regression model.
The output is attached below.
The regression model is:
y = 20.29 + 0.73·x
Predict the final average of a students who made an 83 on the first test as follows:
y = 20.29 + 0.73·x
= 20.29 + 0.73 × 83
= 80.88
The final average of a students who made an 83 on the first test would be 80.88.
From the output:
R² = 0.839
Then the correlation coefficient will be:
[tex]r=\sqrt{R^{2}}=\sqrt{0.839}=0.91597\approx 0.92[/tex]
The value of r is 0.92.
The coefficient of determination R² specifies the percentage of the variance in the dependent-variable (Y) that is forecasted or explained by linear regression and the forecaster variable (X, also recognized as the independent-variable).
In this case, the R² value of 0.839 implies that 83.9% of the variation in the final average can be explained by the grades in the first test.
Scores made on a certain aptitude test by nursing students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a variance of 10,000. If a person is about to take the test what is the probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more?
Answer:
0.0668 or 6.68%
Step-by-step explanation:
Variance (V) = 10,000
Standard deviation (σ) = √V= 100
Mean score (μ) = 500
The z-score for any test score X is:
[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
For X = 650:
[tex]z=\frac{650-500}{100}\\z=1.5[/tex]
A z-score of 1.5 is equivalent to the 93.32nd percentile of a normal distribution. Therefore, the probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is:
[tex]P(X\geq 650)=1-P(X\leq 650)\\P(X\geq 650)=1-0.9332\\P(X\geq 650)=0.0668=6.68\%[/tex]
The probability is 0.0668 or 6.68%
The probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is 0.0668.
Let X = Scores made on a certain aptitude test by nursing students
X follows normal distribution with mean = 500 and variance of 10,000.
So, standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{10000}=100[/tex].
z score of 650 is = [tex]\frac{\left(650-500\right)}{100}=1.5[/tex].
The probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is:
[tex]P(X\geq 650)\\=P(z\geq 1.5)\\=1-P(z<1.5)\\=1-0.9332\\=0.0668[/tex]

Required:
Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean weight.
Answer:
The 99 % confidence interval on the basis of mean is ( 21.7393 ; 22.0257)
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = Sum of observations / Number of observations
Mean = 21.88 +21.76 +22.14 +21.63+ 21.81 +22.12+ 21.97+ 21.57+ 21.75+ 21.96 +22.20 +21.80/ 12
Mean =x`= 262.59/12= 21.8825
Standard Deviation = s= ∑x²/n - ( ∑x/n)²
∑x²/n= 478.7344 +473.4976 + 490.1796+467.8569+ 475.6761 + 489.2944+ 482.6809+ 465.2649+ 473.0625+ 482.2416 +492.84 + 475.24/ 12
∑x²/n= 5746.5689/12= 478.8807 = 478.881
Standard Deviation = s= ∑x²/n - ( ∑x/n)²
s= 478.881- (21.8825)²= 478.881-478.843= 0.037
The confidence limit 99% for the mean will be determined by
x` ± α(100-1) √s/n
Putting the values in the above equation
= 21.8825 ± 2.58 √0.037/12
Solving the square root
= 21.8825 ± 2.58 (0.05549)
Multiplying the square root with 2.58
=21.8825 ± 0.1432
Adding and subtracting would give
21.7393 ; 22.0257,
Hence the 99 % confidence interval on the basis of mean is ( 21.7393 ; 22.0257)

x^2 - 2x + 9 =0
x = 2± (√(-2)^2 - 4*1*9)/2*1
Use the quadratic formula in the expression using a=1, b= -2, c=9
x = 2±√4-36 /2
x = 2+√4-36 or x = 2 - √4 - 32 /2
x = (2+√-32) /2 or x=( 2 - √-32 )/2
The solution for the given quadratic equation are (2+i5.7)/2 or (2-i5.7)/2.
The given quadratic equation is x²-2x=-9.
What is the quadratic formula?Quadratic formula is the simplest way to find the roots of a quadratic equation.
The roots of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 are given by x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a.
By comparing x²-2x+9=0 with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get a=1, b=-2 and c=9
Substitute a=1, b=-2 and c=9 in the quadratic formula, we get
x = [2±√(-2)²-4×1×9)]/2×1
= [2±√4-36]/2
= (2±i5.7)/2
x = (2+i5.7)/2 or (2-i5.7)/2
Therefore, the solution for the given quadratic equation are (2+i5.7)/2 or (2-i5.7)/2.

Answer:
sec B = 17 / 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Sec theta = hyp / adj
sec B = 17 / 15
Answer:
17/15
Step-by-step explanation:
The secant of an angle is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent angle (it is also the reciprocal of cosine).
secθ=hypotenuse/adjacent
sec(∠B)= hypotenuse/adjacent
The hypotenuse in this triangle is 17, because it is opposite the right angle or the little square.
sec(∠B)=17/adjacent
The side adjacent, or next to angle B is 15.
sec(∠B)= 17/15
This fraction cannot be reduced further, therefore the secant of angle B is 17/15.
Share £1200 in the ratio 3:5.
so you have the amount.
amount: 1200
then you have the ratio
ratio: 3:5
you have the count.
count: 2
and then you have the shares
shares: 8
and the amount per share is 150.00
so the total amount of shares is the sum of each person's ratio so,
so 1:5:2:3:9 = 1 + 5 + 2 + 3 +9 = 20 shares. hope that helps you..
