there are 42 boys and 12 girls who signed up yo participate in the scavenger hun how many different teams can michelle organize

The bill for Dino's lunch was $19.45. He wanted to leave 20% of the total bill as a tip. How much should the tip be?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

You could multiply 19.45 by 0.2 to solve for it, but if you're not using a calculator, then 19.45/5 would be much more convenient and easier.

0.2 is 1/5 in fraction form, which is why we can do that.

19.45/5 = 3.89

Dino should leave $3.89 as a tip.

The number of "destination weddings" has skyrocketed in recent years. For example, many couples are opting to have their wedding

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000 as advertised.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:(in thousands)

29100, 28500, 28800, 29400, 29800, 29800, 30100, 30600

Formula:

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

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

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

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{236100}{8} = 29512.5$

Sum of squares of differences = 3408750

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{3408750}{7}} = 697.82$

Population mean, μ = $30,000

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = $29512.5

Sample size, n = 8

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = $ 697.82

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 30000\text{ dollars}\\H_A: \mu < 30000\text{ dollars}$ We use one-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{29512.5 - 30000}{\frac{697.82}{\sqrt{8}} } = -1.975$

Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 7 degree of freedom } = -1.894$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

We conclude that the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000 as advertised.

Discuss the continuity of the function on the closed interval.Function Intervalf(x) = 9 − x, x ≤ 09 + 12x, x > 0 [−4, 5]The f

quester [9]

Answer:

It is continuous since $\lim_{x\to 0^{-}} = f(0) = \lim_{x \to 0^{+} f(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the function is defined as follows $f(x) = 9-x, x\leq 0$ and $f(x) = 9+12x, x>0$ and we want to check the continuity in the interval [-4,5]. Note that this a piecewise function whose only critical point (that might be a candidate of a discontinuity) x=0 since at this point is where the function "changes" of definition. Note that 9-x and 9+12x are polynomials that are continous over all $\mathbb{R}$ . So F is continous in the intervals [-4,0) and (0,5]. To check if f(x) is continuous at 0, we must check that

$\lim_{x\to 0^{-}} = f(0) = \lim_{x \to 0^{+} f(x)$ (this is the definition of continuity at x=0)

Note that if x=0, then f(x) = 9-x. So, f(0)=9. On the same time, note that

$\lim_{x\to 0^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x\to 0^{-}} 9-x = 9$ . This result is because the function 9-x is continous at x=0, so the left-hand limit is equal to the value of the function at 0.

Note that when x>0, we have that f(x) = 9+12x. In this case, we have that

$\lim_{x\to 0^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x\to 0^{+}} 9+12x = 9$ . As before, this result is because the function 9+12x is continous at x=0, so the right-hand limit is equal to the value of the function at 0.

Thus, $\lim_{x\to 0^{-}} = f(0) = \lim_{x \to 0^{+} f(x)=9$ , so by definition, f is continuous at x=0, hence continuous over the interval [-4,5].
