Answer:

The first amount is larger by 25% or .25a

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets increase a by 50%

The increase is .5a

So the new value is a + .5a = 1.5a

Now we will decrease the new value by 50%

decrease = .5 (1.5a) = .75a

The new value of a is 1.5a - .75a = .75a

a > .75a

a - .75a = .25a

a is bigger than .75a by .25a

Angles 4 and 6 are supplementary, because they are on the same line. Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, and a line must be 180 degrees.

15.
Angles 1 and 8 are congruent, because they are alternate exterior angles

16.
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 7 - 2 / 4 - 5
m = 5 / -1
m = -5

17.
m = 3 - 3 / 7 - (-5)
m = 0 / 12
m = 0

18.
m = 1 - (-2) / 5 - (-4)
m = 3 / 9
m = 1/3

19.
A = (0, 3) - B = (3,0)
m = 0 - 3 / 3 - 0
m = -3 / 3
m = -1
C = (0, -2) - D = (4, 2)
m = 2 - (-2) / 4 - 0
m = 4 / 4
m = 1
Perpendicular, because the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

20.
E = (1, 2) - F = (0, 0)
m = 0 - 2 / 0 - 1
m = -2 / -1
m = 2
G = (1, -3) - H = (3, 0)
m = 0 - (-3) / 3 - 1
m = 3 / 2
Neither, because the slopes are different.

21.
I = (0, 1) - J = (2, -4)
m = -4 - 1 / 2 - 0
m = -5/2
K = (-1, -2) - L = (4, 0)
m = 0 - (-2) / 4 - (-1)
m = 2/5
Perpendicular, because the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

22.
M = (-2, 2) - N = (2, 2)
Horizontal line
m = 0
O = (3, 0) - P = (-3, 0)
Horizontal line
m = 0
Parallel, because the slopes are the same.

23.
Angle 2 is congruent to angle 1 because of the alternate exterior angle theorem.
Angle 1 is congruent to angle 3 because of the vertical angle theorem.
Angle 2 is congruent to angle 3 because of substitution.
Line l is parallel to line m because the corresponding angles are congruent.

Find the equation of the line given the slope and the y-intercept

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{2}x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear graph is usually written in the following format...

y = mx + b

Where m would be the slope, usually referring to rise over run and b would be the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). From the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at point 3 so b would be 3. The graph also shows us that for every 1 value that the line rises it moves to the right 2 values. Therefore, the slope would be 1/2. Using these values we can create the following equation...

y = $\frac{1}{2}x + 3$

A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate the mean hourly wage, μ, of foodservice workers in the U.S.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.960(2.25)}{0.35})^2 =158.76 \approx 159$

So the answer for this case would be n=159 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate the mean hourly wage, , of foodservice workers in the U.S. The union will choose a random sample of wages and then estimate using the mean of the sample. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for the union to be 95% confident that its estimate is within $0.35 of ? Suppose that the standard deviation of wages of foodservice workers in the U.S. is about $2.15 .

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

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".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=2.25$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =0.35 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.025;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=1.960$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.960(2.25)}{0.35})^2 =158.76 \approx 159$

So the answer for this case would be n=159 rounded up to the nearest integer
