Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5÷100

=0.05

0.05×60

=3

Answer 2

Answer:

1200 readers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of readers

x* 5% = 60

Change to decimal form

x* .05 = 60

Divide each side by .05

x * .05/.05 = 60/.05

x =1200

A department store purchases logo shirts at a cost of $10 per shirt. They mark up the price 100% and put them on
the sales floor. Every month that a shirt doesn't sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25%. After three monthly
markdowns, the final shirt from the shipment is sold. There is a 5% sales tax on the selling price. What is the total
cost to the customer?

Answers

Answer:

8.86

Step-by-step explanation:

The final cost to the customer would be:

$8.86

Explanation:

We can find this answer by taking each step individually.

The first step is to determine the cost after the 100% markup.

To get this, we would multiply the original cost by 2.

10*2 = 20.

Now that we have that new cost, we would find the cost after each markdown.

We would get this by taking the cost from the previous month and multiplying by 0.75 (75%), which is how much is left after each markdown of 25%.

First ---> 20*.75 = 15.

Second---> 15*.75 = 11.25.

Third ---> 11.25*.75 = 8.43.

Now that we have the cost of each shirt, we have to find the price along with sales tax.

Since the sales tax is 5%, we need to multiply by the whole cost 100% plus the addition 5% or (1.05).

8.43*1.05= 8.86  

The R.D. Wilson Company makes a soft drink dispensing machine that allows customers to get soft drinks from the machine in a cup with ice. When the machine is running properly, the average number of fluid ounces in the cup should be 14. Periodically the machines need to be tested to make sure that they have not gone out of adjustment. To do this, six cups are filled by the machine and a technician carefully measures the volume in each cup. In one such test, the following data were observed:_______.
14.25 13.7 14.02
14.13 13.99 14.0
Based on these sample data,which of the following is true if the significance level is .05?
A) No conclusion can be reached about the status of the machine based on a sample size of only six cups.
B) The null hypothesis cannot be rejected since the test statistic is approximately t = .29,which is not in the rejection region.
C) The null hypothesis can be rejected since the sample mean is greater than 14.
D) The null can be rejected because the majority of the sample values exceed 14.

Answers

Answer:

B) The null hypothesis cannot be rejected since the test statistic is approximately t = .29,which is not in the rejection region.

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate mean

14.25+ 13.7 +14.02 +14.13+ 13.99 +14.04

= 84.13/6

= 14.02167

average = 14

s = 0.1837

test statistics t:

(bar(x)-mu)/(s/√n)

= 14.02167-14/0.1837/√6

0.02167/0.1837/2.4495

= 0.02167/0.07499

=0.28897

this is approximately 0.29

therefore B) The null hypothesis cannot be rejected since the test statistic is approximately t = .29,which is not in the rejection region.

Answers

Answer:

1.

-3x + 8y = -5

6x + 2y = -8

Set the equations to a common variable.

-3x + 8y = -5 → 8y = 3x - 5 → y = 3/8x - 5/8

6x + 2y = -8 → 2y = -6x - 8 → y = -3x - 4

Set the equations equal to each other.

3/8x - 5/8 = -3x - 4

Combine like terms.

3x + 3/8x = -4 + 5/8

3.375x = -3.375

Divide by 3.375

x = -1

Plug x back in to find y.

-3x + 8y = -5

-3(-1) + 8y = -5

3 + 8y = -5

8y = -8

y = -1

answer: (-1, -1)

2.

3x + 2y = -16

-3x - 8y = 46

Set the equations to a common variable.

3x + 2y = -16 → 2y = -3x - 16 → y = -3/2x - 8

-3x - 8y = 46 → -8y = 3x + 46 → y = -3/8x - 23/4

Set the equations equal to each other.

-3/2x - 8 = -3/8x - 23/4

Combine like terms.

-9/8x = 9/4

or

-1.125x = 2.25

Divide by -1.125

x = -2

Plug x back in to find y.

3(-2) + 2y = -16

-6 + 2y = -16

2y = -10

y = -5

answer: (-2, -5)

Answers

Answer:

10,935 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many meters she walks in 1 week, so you add the 1,720 and the 1,925 and you would get 3,645. If she does the same thing for 3 weeks, you multiply the 3,645 by 3, so you get 10,935 meters

Answers

Answer:

25,

8:5

4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to model it as a system of equations.

first, we know there are a total of 65 children, boys and girls. so

[tex]65 = b + g[/tex]

we also know there are 15 more boys than girls so

[tex]b = g + 15[/tex]

now, we can plug the second equation into the first to get

[tex]65 = (g+15)+g[/tex]

so

[tex]2g = 50, g = 25[/tex]

if g = 25, b must = 40, because it is g+15.

the ratio will be 40 boys to 25 girls. 40:25 or 8:5 if you simplify.

if there are 5 more girls, g = 25+5 = 30, so the ratio is 40:30 or 4:3.

A) 25

C) 40 : 30

To reduce laboratory​ costs, water samples from public swimming pools are combined for one test for the presence of bacteria. Further testing is done only if the combined sample tests positive. Based on past​ results, there is a probability of finding bacteria in a public swimming area. Find the probability that a combined sample from public swimming areas will reveal the presence of bacteria. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely​ necessary?

Answers

Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The  probability is  [tex]P(X \ge 1 ) = 0.003996[/tex]

Given that the probability is less than 0.05 , it means that it is  low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely​ necessary

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The probability of finding bacteria in a public swimming area  is  p =  0.002

 Generally the probability of not finding bacteria in a public swimming area  is mathematically represented as

      [tex]q = 1- p[/tex]

=>    [tex]q = 1- 0.002[/tex]

=>   [tex]q =0.998[/tex]

Generally the the probability that a combined sample from public swimming areas will reveal the presence of bacteria is equivalent to the probability that at least one of the sample will reveal the  presence of bacteria and this is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(X \ge 1 ) = 1 - P(X')[/tex]

Here  [tex]P(X')[/tex] means that none of the 2  sample have bacteria which is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(X') = q^2[/tex]

Here 2 signifies that we are considering two samples  

So  

        [tex]P(X') = 0.998^2[/tex]

        [tex]P(X') = 0.996004[/tex]

So

       [tex]P(X \ge 1 ) = 1 - 0.996004[/tex]

=>     [tex]P(X \ge 1 ) = 0.003996[/tex]
