8) a) The new fastest time is 56.7 seconds, b) The <em>overall percentage</em> improvement is 19 %.

9) The height after the first increase is 1.375 meters and after the second increase is 1.54 meters.

<h3>How to apply percentages in real life applications</h3>

In this problem we have two examples from real life, in which percentages are used. The first is the distance traveled by a runner in a given time and the second is the growth of a person in time. Change in variables based on percentages are described by the following formula:

C' = C · (1 + r / 100)     (1)

Where:

  • C - Initial value
  • C' - Final value
  • r - Percentage of change.

Now we proceed to resolve on each case. 8) a) Please notice that the runner must cover the trail in less time and percentage time must be negative. If we know that C = 70 and r = - 10, then his new fastest time is:

C' = 70 · (1 - 10 / 100)

C' = 70 · 0.90

C' = 63

And again: (C' = 63, r = - 10)

C'' = 63 · (1 - 10 / 100)

C'' = 63 · 0.90

C'' = 56.7

The new fastest time is 56.7 seconds.

b) And the overall percentage improvement is:

r = (|C'' - C| / C) × 100 %

r = (|56.7 - 70| / 70) × 100 %

r = 19 %

The <em>overall percentage</em> improvement is 19 %.

9) If we know that C = 1.25 and r = 10, then the height next year is:

C' = 1.25 · (1 + 10 / 100)

C' = 1.375

And again: (C' = 1.375, r = 12)

C'' = 1.375 · (1 + 12 / 100)

C'' = 1.54

The height after the first increase is 1.375 meters and after the second increase is 1.54 meters.

6 times the sum of 3 consecutive odd intergers is -18
Lyrx [107]
The answer: The 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________
To represent 3 (three consecutive odd integers):
____________________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer.
____________________________________
The sum of these three consecutive odd integers:
__________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6 ;
_________________________________________
Six ("6") times the sum of these 3 (three) consecutive odd integers =
_________________
6*(3x+6) = 6(3x + 6) = -18 (as given in the problem).
_____________________________________________
Given: 6(3x + 6) = -18 ; We can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6", to cancel the "6" on the left-hand side into a "1"; 
__________________________________________
{6(3x + 6) } / 6 = -18 / 6 ;  to get:
________________________________________
3x + 6 = -3 ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
__________________________________
3x + 6 - 6 = -3 - 6 ; to get:
__________________________________
3x = -9 ; Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3"; to isolate "x" on one side of the question; and solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
3x / 3 = -9 / 3 ;  x = - 3 ;
_____________________
Remember, from above:
__________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.  We know that "x = -3".
         Is this an odd integer? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.  So (x+2) = (-3+2) = -1.
        Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{-1}" the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-3}"? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer. So (x+4) = (-3+4) = 1.
       Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{1"} the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-1}"? Yes!
___________________________
So, our 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
___________________________
To check our work: Is 6 times the sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers, equal to "(-18)" ?

The sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers = -3 + (-1) + 1 = -3 - 1 + 1 = -3.

6 * -3 = ? -18? Yes!

A+b=180<br> A=-2x+115<br> B=-6x+169<br> What is the value of B?
natulia [17]
The answer is:  " 91 " .   
___________________________________________________
                    →    " B = 91 " .
__________________________________________________ 

Explanation:
__________________________________________________
Given:  
__________________________________________________
    "  A +  B = 180 " ;

  "A =  -2x + 115 " ;   ↔  A =  115 − 2x ;  

  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ;  
_____________________________________________________
METHOD 1)
_____________________________________________________
Solve for "x" ; and then plug the solved value for "x" into the expression given for "B" ; to  solve for "B"
_____________________________________________________

(115 − 2x) + (169 − 6x) = 

  115 − 2x + 169 − 6x = ?

→ Combine the "like terms" ;  as follows:

      + 115 + 169 = + 284 ; 

 − 2x − 6x = − 8x ; 
_________________________________________________________
And rewrite as:

 " − 8x + 284 " ; 
_________________________________________________________
   →  " - 8x + 284 = 180 " ; 

Subtract:  "284" from each side of the equation:

  →  "  - 8x + 284 − 284 = 180 − 284 " ; 

to get:

 →  " -8x = -104 ; 

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "-8 " ; 
    to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→ -8x / -8 = -104/-8 ; 

→  x = 13
__________________________________________________________
Now, to find the value of "B" :
__________________________________________________________
  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ;  

↔  B = 169 − 6x ;  

         = 169 − 6(13) ;   ===========> Plug in our "solved value, "13",  for "x" ;

         = 169 − (78) ; 

         = 91 ;

   B   = " 91 " .
__________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 91 " . 
____________________________________________________
     →     " B = 91 " . 
____________________________________________________
Now;  let us check our answer:
____________________________________________________
               →   A + B = 180 ;  
____________________________________________________
Plug in our "solved answer" ; which is "91", for "B" ;  as follows:
________________________________________________________

→  A + 91 = ? 180? ;  

↔  A = ? 180 − 91 ? ; 

→  A = ?  -89 ?  Yes!
________________________________________________________
→  " A =  -2x + 115 " ;   ↔  A =  115 − 2x ;  

Plug in our solved value for "x"; which is: "13" ; 

" A = 115 − 2x " ; 

→  A = ? 115 − 2(13) ? ;

→  A = ? 115 − (26) ? ; 

→  A = ? 29 ? Yes!
_________________________________________________ 
METHOD 2)
_________________________________________________
Given:  
__________________________________________________
    "  A +  B = 180 " ;

  "A =  -2x + 115 " ;   ↔  A =  115 − 2x ;  

  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ; 

→  Solve for the value of "B" :
_______________________________________________________
 A + B = 180 ;  

→ B = 180 − A ; 

→ B = 180 − (115 − 2x) ; 

→ B = 180 − 1(115 − 2x) ;  ==========> {Note the "implied value of "1" } ; 
__________________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:__________________________________________________  a(b + c)  = ab +  ac ;  <u><em>AND</em></u>:
  a(b − c)  = ab − ac .________________________________________________________
Let us examine the following part of the problem:
________________________________________________________
              →      " − 1(115 − 2x)  " ; 
________________________________________________________

→  "  − 1(115 − 2x) " = (-1 * 115) − (-1 * 2x) ;

                                =  -115 − (-2x) ;
                         
                                =  -115  +  2x ;        
________________________________________________________
So we can bring down the:  " {"B = 180 " ...}"  portion ; 

→and rewrite:
_____________________________________________________

→  B = 180 − 115 + 2x ; 

→  B = 65 + 2x ; 
_____________________________________________________
Now;  given:   "B = - 6x + 169 " ;  ↔  B = 169 − 6x ; 

→ " B =  169 − 6x  =  65 + 2x " ; 
______________________________________________________
→  " 169 − 6x  =  65 + 2x "

Subtract "65" from each side of the equation;  & Subtract "2x" from each side of the equation:

→  169 − 6x − 65 − 2x  =  65 + 2x − 65 − 2x ; 

to get:

→   " - 8x + 104 = 0 " ;
 
Subtract "104" from each side of the equation:

→   " - 8x + 104 − 104 = 0 − 104 " ;

to get: 

→   " - 8x = - 104 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "-8" ; 
   to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→  -8x / -8  = -104 / -8 ; 

to get:

→  x =  13 ; 
______________________________________________________

Now, let us solve for:  " B " ;  → {for which this very question/problem asks!} ; 

→  B = 65 + 2x ;  

Plug in our solved value, " 13 ",  for "x" ; 

→ B = 65 + 2(13) ; 

        = 65 + (26) ;  

→ B =  " 91 " .
_______________________________________________________
Also, check our answer:
_______________________________________________________
Given:  "B = - 6x + 169 " ;   ↔  B = 169 − 6x = 91 ; 

When "x  = 13 " ; does: " B = 91 " ? 

→ Plug in our "solved value" of " 13 " for "x" ;

      → to see if:  "B = 91" ; (when "x = 13") ;

→  B = 169 − 6x ; 

         = 169 − 6(13) ; 

         = 169 − (78)______________________________________________________
→ B = " 91 " .

A study was performed to investigate whether teens and adults had different habits when it comes to consuming meat-free meals. I
Elden [556K]

Answer:

H₀ should be rejected at CI 95% .

Then the proportion of adults with 95 % CI is bigger than the proportion of teen

Step-by-step explanation:

From adult sample:

n₂ = 2323

x₂ = 1601

p₂ = 1601 / 2323         p₂  = 0,689       or    p₂ = 68,9%

From teen sample:

n₁ = 875

x₁ = 555

p₁ = 555/ 875           p₁  = 0,634          or    p₁  = 63,4

Values of p₁  and  p₂   suggest that the proportion of adults consuming at least one meat free meal per week is bigger than teen proportion.

To either prove or reject the above statement we have to develop a difference of proportion test according to:

Hypothesis test:

Null Hypothesis                   H₀             p₁  =  p₂

Alternative Hypothesis       Hₐ             p₂  > p₁

So is a one-tail test to the right

We can establish a confidence interval of 95 % then  α = 5 %

or    α = 0,05

As the samples are big enough we will develop a z test

Then  z(c)  for α = 0,05   from z table is     z(c) = 1,64

To calculate z(s)

z(s) = ( p₂  -  p₁ ) / √p*q* ( 1/n₁  + 1/n₂ )

where p = ( x₁ + x₂ ) / n₁ + n₂       p = 555 + 1601 / 875 + 2323

p = 2156/3198       p = 0,674

and   q = 1 - 0,674        q = 0,326

z(s) = ( 0,689 - 0,634 ) / √0,674*0,326 ( 1/875 + 1 / 2323

z(s) = 0,055/ √ 0,2197 ( 0,00114 + 0,00043)

z(s) = 0,055/ √0,2197* 0,00157

z(s) = 0,055/ √ 3,45*10⁻⁴

z(s) = 0,055 / 1,85*10⁻²

z(s) = 5,5/1,85

z(s) = 2,97

Comparing  z(s) and z(c)     z(s) > z(c)

Then z(s) is in the rejection region we reject H₀.

We can claim that the proportion of adult eating at least one meat-free meal is bigger than the proportion of teen
