Last year the depth of the river was 4.2 feet deep. This year it dropped 25%. Find the depth of the river this year to cross it.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The river is 3.15 feet deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's recognize what we need to find: the depth of the river

We know last year the river was 4.2 feet deep, but it dropped 25%. This means we also need to find how much it dropped. To find this, we need to know what 25% of 4.2 is. Write an equation for this.

y = 25% of 4.2

y = 0.25 • 4.2

y = 1.05

This means that the river dropped 1.05 feet. To know its depth now, we need to subtract 1.05 from 4.2. Write an equation for this.

d = 4.2 - 1.05

d = 3.15

The river is 3.15 feet deep.

Hope this helps!

A sample of 300 urban adult residents of a particular state revealed 65 who favored increasing the highway speed limit from 55 t
forsale [732]

Answer and explanation:

Null hypothesis(H0) says sentiment for increasing speed limit in the two populations is the same

Alternative hypothesis(Ha) says sentiment for increasing speed limit in the two populations is different

Where p1 is the first population proportion =65/297= 0.22

And p2 is the second population proportion = 78/189= 0.41

P= p1+p2/n1+n2= 65+78/297+189= 0.29

Hence H0= p1-p2=0

Ha=p1-p2≠0

Test statistic= p1-p2/√p(1-p) (1/n1+1/n2)

= 0.22-0.41/√0.29(1-0.29)(1/297+1/189)

= -4.49

Critical value at 95% significance level= 1.96( from tables)

We therefore reject null hypothesis as critical value is greater than test statistic

Therefore the sentiment for increasing speed limit in the two populations is different

b. at proportions of 0.24 and 0.40 for p1 and p2 respectively

Test statistic = 0.24-0.40/0.29(1-0.29)(1/297+1/189)

= -3.78

P value is 0.0002 at 0.05 significance level

Hence probability =0.4998

Taylor and Jesse are buying a magazine for $3.75 and a snack for $2.49 what is s the total cost of the two items?
Kazeer [188]

Hey There!

The answer you are looking for is; $6.24!

Work:

You simply add $3.75 + $2.49 together.

Since .75 + .29 = 1.24, you carry the one over to the full dollar.

3 + 2 + 1 = 6.

= 6.24

Hope I helped! 5 stars and brainliest are always appreciated.
