Alisha buys 200 books costing £3 each.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lunna [17]2 years ago

The number of books Alisha did not sell after making a profit of £490 is 45 books

<h3 />

How to find how many book she sell base on the profit?

She buys 200 books costing £3 each.

Therefore,

cost = 3 × 200 = £600

Hence,

She sells 2/5 of the books at £8 each.

total amount = 2 / 5 of 200 × 8

total amount = 80 × 8

total amount = £640

Alisha then reduces the price of the remaining books by a quarter.

She then sells some of the remaining books.

Therefore,

the remaining book = 120

She sold some of the remaining books.

profit = selling price - cost price

490  = selling price - 600

selling price = 490 + 600

selling price = £1090

Therefore,

the cost of the remaining book she sold = 1090 - 640 = £450

Hence,

let

x = number of book sold

6(x) = 450

x = 450 / 6

x = 75

The number book she did not sell = 120 - 75 = 45

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval of the proportion = (0.312, 0.374)

Step-by-step explanation:

(Give answers accurate to 3 decimal places.)

The formula for Confidence Interval of Proportion is given as:

p ± z × √p(1 - p)/n

Where p = Proportion = x/n

x = 440

n = 1282

p = 440/1282 = 0.34321372854

Approximately = 0.343

z = z-score of 98 % confidence interval

= 2.326

Confidence Interval =

= 0.343 ± 2.326 × √0.343(1 - 0.343)/1282

= 0.343 ± 2.326 × √0.225351/1282

= 0.343 ± 2.326 × √0.00017578081

= 0.343 ± 2.326 × 0.01325823555

= 0.343 ± 0.03083865589

0.343 - 0.03083865589

= 0.31216134411

Approximately = 0.312

0.343 + 0.03083865589

= 0.37383865589

Approximately to = 0.374

Therefore, the 98% confidence interval of the proportion = (0.312, 0.374)

The first four terms of an arithmetic sequence are -11,-5,1,7. what is the equation for an
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

y = 6x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a linear function. This means it steadily increases or decreases through addition/subtraction by a constant amount. Here the sequence grows by adding 6 each time.

-11 + 6 = -5

-5 + 6 = 1

1 + 6 = 7

etc....

Since this is linear, its equation has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is m = 6 and b = -11.

y = 6x - 11
