The estimate is 57.6 %

Solution:

Given that, On percent error, 48% is the actual and the error rate is 20%

To find: Estimate

Percent error is the difference between a measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%

The formula for percent error is given as:

$\text { percent error }=\frac{\text {estimated value}-\text {actual value}}{\text {actual value}} \times 100$

Here given that,

percent error = 20 %

Actual = 48 %

Estimate = ?

Let "x" be the estimate

Substituting the values we get,

$20 = \frac{x-48}{48} \times 100\\\\20 \times 48 = (x-48) \times 100\\\\960 = x - 48 \times 100\\\\x - 48 = \frac{960}{100}\\\\x - 48 = 9.6\\\\x = 48 + 9.6\\\\x = 57.6$

Thus the estimate is 57.6 %

Answer:

$\frac{8}{5} x^{2} - \frac{16}{5} xy + 4x$

$xy^{2} + \frac{2}{3}y - 8y^{2}z$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the followings:

1) $- \frac{4}{5}x (- 2x + 4y - 5)$

= $- \frac{4}{5}x \times (- 2x) + - \frac{4}{5}x \times (4y) + - \frac{4}{5}x \times (- 5)$

{By distributive property of multiplication}

= $\frac{8}{5} x^{2} - \frac{16}{5} xy + 4x$ (Answer)

2) $2y^{2}( \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{2}{6}y - 4z)$

= $2y^{2} \times (\frac{1}{2} x) + 2y^{2} \times ( \frac{2}{6}y) - 2y^{2} \times (4z)$

{By distributive property of multiplication}

= $xy^{2} + \frac{2}{3}y - 8y^{2}z$ (Answer)

MARKIN BRAINIEST !!!

Paladinen [302]

for P(t) = 65- 5t

domain is [0, 13]

because intially at t = 0 total puppy available is 65 (put t = 0 in equation)

now after 13 days

P(t) = 65 - 5×13 = 65-65 = 0

no puppy available. so t has last range of 13.

similarly for second its domain is [0, ∞]

as subscribers will increase as t will increase.

for 3rd

C(t) = 65 + 5t

here t is guest so . they can only accomdate 30 guests only so t csn go to 30 only.

so domain is [0,30]

allsm [11]

Answer:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=3.6 +1.28*0.8=4.624$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 4.624.

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 4.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(3.6,0.8)$

Where $\mu=3.6$ and $\sigma=0.8$

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.1$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=3.6 +1.28*0.8=4.624$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 4.624.

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 4.64
