mike and mandy bought the same item mike aid 15,000 mandy got a discount and paid 3,00 less how much of a discount did she get??
2 answers:
She got a 20% discount (or 80% discount). (Work shown for 80%).
First you have to find out how much Mandy paid. So from 15000 you will subtract 3000. 15000-3000=12000.
Next you need to set up your equation.
. You then have to cross multiply. So 100 times 12000, 100*12000=1200000. And 15000 times x is 15000x. Finally you divide both sides by 15000. And 1200000 divided by 15000 is 80. X=80

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.
From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, .
We also know that E=5% or E=0.05
Also, since, is not given, we will assume that
=0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have
in the expression and that will be maximum only when
=0.5. (For any other value of
, we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if,
is 0.4, then
and thus,
.).
We will now use the formula
We will now substitute all the data that we have and we will get
which can approximated to n=271.
So, the brand manager needs a sample size of 271
