$\frac{75}{100} = \frac{90.75}{x} \\ x = \frac{90.75 \times 100}{75} = \frac{9075}{75} = 121$
the answer is 121

Answer: Satisfied for n=1, n=k and n=k+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The induction procedure involves two steps

First is

Basic Step

Here we consider that for the value n=1, there is one car and it will always make the full circle.

Induction Step

Since basic step is satisfied for n=1

Now we do it for n=k+1

Now according to the statement a car makes full circle by taking gas from other cars as it passes them. This means there are cars that are there to provide fuel to the car. So we have a car that can be eliminated i.e. it gives it fuels to other car to make full circle so it is always there.

Now ,go through the statement again that the original car gets past the other car and take the gas from it to eliminate it. So now cars remain k instead of k+1 as it's fuel has been taken. Now the car that has taken the fuel can make the full circle. The gas is enough to make a circle now.

So by induction we can find a car that satisfies k+1 induction so for k number of cars, we can also find a car that makes a full circle.

A cable company uses the formula S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)y to estimate the number

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

C. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% over the

number of subscribers the year before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula :

S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)^y to estimate ;

S = number of subscribers ; y = years

The expression : (1 + 0.08)^y

0.08 = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

(1 + 0.08)^y represents a continous growth or increase in the number of subcsribers by 8% over the number of subscribers the preceeding year

Listed below are prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region. Find the range, variance, and standar

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Range = 115$

Standard Deviation = 43.76$

Variance = 1915.142$

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region.

234, 160, 119, 131, 218, 207, 146, 141

Range:

Sorted data: 119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

$\text{Range} = 234-119 = 115\$$

Standard Deviation:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1356}{8} = 169.5$

Sum of squares of differences = 4160.25 + 90.25 + 2550.25 + 1482.25 + 2352.25 + 1406.25 + 552.25 + 812.25 = 13406

$\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{13406}{7}} = 43.76\$$

Variance =

$\sigma^2 = 1915.142\$$

Measure of variance for someone searching for room:

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.
