Answer:

disagree, 1009 candles will return out.

Step-by-step explanation:

A catalog store has 6% of its orders returned for a refund.

The number of new candles sold = 16,824

6% of the sale is returned for a refund = 6% of 16,824

                                                               = \frac{6}{100}\times 16,824

                                                               = 0.06 × 16,824

                                                               = 1009.44 ≈ 1009

No, I do not agree with this prediction of "812 candles will have returned out", because 6% of 16,824 is 1009 candles, that will have returned out.

X / 16,824 = 6 / 100
16,824 x 6 = 100,944
100,944 / 100 = 1,009.44
Disagree, approx. 1,009 will be returned.

Y = -4x + 3<br> 8x + 2y = 8<br> Solve by using elimination.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The equations are not compatible

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x + 3

8x + 2y = 8

substitute for y:

8x + 2(-4x + 3) = 8

simplify:

8x - 8x + 6 = 8

6 ≠ 8

Find the GCF.<br><br> 18c3 and 24c3
12345 [234]

Answer:

6c³

Step-by-step explanation:

18c³ = 2 × 3 × 3 × c × c × c

24c³ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × c × c × c

Now we show the common factors in bold:

18c³ = 2 × 3 × 3 × c × c × c

24c³ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × c × c × c

The common factor are:

2, 3, c, c, c

GCF = 2 × 3 × c × c × c = 6c³

In a recent survey of college professors, it was found that the average amount of money spent on entertainment each week was nor
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

0.0918

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the average amount of money spent on entertainment is normally distributed with mean=μ=95.25 and standard deviation=σ=27.32.

The mean and standard deviation of average spending of sample size 25 are

μxbar=μ=95.25

σxbar=σ/√n=27.32/√25=27.32/5=5.464.

So, the average spending of a sample of 25 randomly-selected professors is normally distributed with mean=μ=95.25 and standard deviation=σ=27.32.

The z-score associated with average spending $102.5

Z=[Xbar-μxbar]/σxbar

Z=[102.5-95.25]/5.464

Z=7.25/5.464

Z=1.3269=1.33

We have to find P(Xbar>102.5).

P(Xbar>102.5)=P(Z>1.33)

P(Xbar>102.5)=P(0<Z<∞)-P(0<Z<1.33)

P(Xbar>102.5)=0.5-0.4082

P(Xbar>102.5)=0.0918.

Thus, the probability that the average spending of a sample of 25 randomly-selected professors will exceed $102.5 is 0.0918.

Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. The combined cost of one advance ticket and one sam
____ [38]
We can set up 2 equations given the information.
Let the price of advance ticket be represented by A and same day ticket by S

A + S = 50
20A + 40S = 1700

Solve for A in the first equation by subtracting S on both sides.
U will get A = 50 - S

Now substitute 50 - S for A in the second equation.

20 (50 - S) + 40S = 1700
1000 - 20S + 40S = 1700
20S = 700
S = 35

Same day ticket costs $35 and advance ticket costs $15
