Jim bought a fishing rod for $42. The price was 70% of the original price. What was the original price?

So if $42 was 70% of the original price that means you saved 30% so work out 30% of $42 then add it to the $42 = $12.60 + $42

-(y-7)=14 solve the following equation

enyata [817]

First, distribute the negative sign and get -y + 7 = 14

then subtract 7 from both sides and get -y = 7

Divide both sides by -1 and get y = -7

Hope this helps :)

A music buff wants to estimate the percentage of students at a midwestern university who believe that elvis is still alive. how

gulaghasi [49]

Since we are not given any information about the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion to be 0.50

so,
p = 0.50
The Error is 10% percentage point. This means that on either side of the population proportion the error is 5% so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for 90% confidence interval)

The margin of error for population proportion is calculated as:

$E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\ \\ 
 \frac{E}{z} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\ \\ 
( \frac{E}{z} )^{2}= \frac{p(1-p)}{n} \\ \\ 
n= p(1-p)* (\frac{z}{E})^{2} \\ \\ 
n=271$

This means 271 students should be included in the sample

The five-number summaries are:

Minimum
Lower quartile
Median
Upper quartile
Maximum

From the list of options, we have:

Minimum and Median

Hence, the data that can be identified from the box plot are Minimum and Median
