Answer:

A. 3.2% faster

B. 3.3% slower

C. 103.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this out, we need to take the differences and divide them by the comparative time. So, in the first one, we take the difference (.32) and divide it by Hines time.

.32/9.63 = 3.2%

In the second, we take the difference and divide by Bolt's time.

.32/9.95 = 3.3%

And finally, in the last one, we take Hines' time and divide by Bolt's.

9.95/9.63 = 103.3%

Liz wants to estimate the percentage of people who rent their home. She surveys 320 individuals and finds that 176 rent their ho

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: 0.065

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 320

The sample proportion of people who rent their home : $p=\dfrac{176}{320}=0.55$

Significance level : $\alpha:1-0.98=0.02$

Then , Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$

The formula to find the margin of error : -

$E=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=(2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.55(1-0.55)}{320}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=0.064799034281\approx0.065$

Hence, the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population proportion with a 98% confidence level =0.065

Please help!!! <br> I’m so bad at math.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

x = - 9 , 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$h(x) = \frac{x - 8}{x^{2} + 3x - 54}$

⇒ $h(x) = \frac{x - 8}{(x - 6)(x + 9)}$

Therefore, the value of h(x) will be undefined for the denominator equal to zero.

So, (x + 9)(x - 6) = 0

⇒ x = - 9 and x = 6

Therefore, the values of x which are not in domain of function h(x) are x = - 9 , 6. (Answer)

17. A hemisphere of lead of radius 7 cm is cast into a right circular cone of height 49 cm. Find

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$r = 3.74cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hemisphere

$Radius = 7cm$

Cone

$Height = 49m$

Required

Determine the radius of the cone

First, we calculate the volume (V1) of the hemisphere.

$V_1 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

Substitute 7 for r

$V_1 = \frac{2}{3}\pi * 7^3$

$V_1 = \frac{2}{3}\pi * 343$

$V_1 = \frac{686}{3}\pi$

Volume (V2) of a cone is:

$V_2 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Because the lead is cast into a cone, then they have the same volume.

So, we have:

$\frac{686}{3}\pi = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

$686 = r^2h$

Substitute 49 for h

$686 = r^2 * 49$

Divide both sides by 49

$r^2 = \frac{686}{49}$

$r^2 = 14$

$r = \sqrt{14$

$r = 3.74cm$

<em>Hence, the radius of the cone is 3.74cm</em>
