A store advertises 15% off an item that regularly sells $300. How is a 15% discount similar to a 15% decrease? Explain.

Both a discount and decrease will make the cost the same which is $225 for the object. I think that's what your asking. I'm sorry if it is not that helpful.

15% off of 300 is 30$ Off it's a decrease. Because your taking something away it's a discount!!!

What is the area of a sector in a circle of radius 8cm,if the angle between the radii is 30°

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

16.75 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$Area \: of \: sector = \frac{ \theta}{360 \degree} \times \pi {r}^{2} \\ \\ = \frac{30 \degree}{360 \degree} \times 3.14 \times {8}^{2} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{12} \times 3.14 \times 64 \\ \\ = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 16 \\ \\ = \frac{1}{3} \times 50.24 \\ \\ = 16.7466667 \\ \\Area \: of \: sector = 16.75 \: {cm}^{2}$

Answer:

The probability that the maximum speed is at most 49 km/h is 0.8340.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable<em> </em><em>X</em> be defined as the maximum speed of a moped.

The random variable <em>X</em> is Normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 46.8 km/h and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 1.75 km/h.

To compute the probability of a Normally distributed random variable we first need to convert the raw score of the random variable to a standardized or <em>z</em>-score.

The formula to convert <em>X</em> into <em>z</em>-score is:

$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

Compute the probability that the maximum speed is at most 49 km/h as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P (X ≤ 49) = P (X < 49 - 0.50)

= P (X < 48.50)

$=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the maximum speed is at most 49 km/h is 0.8340.

<u>Given expression is </u>

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} }$

can be rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times { {(5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} - {5}^{2} \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {( {5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} }$

We know,

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ {( {x}^{m} )}^{n} \: = \: {x}^{mn}}}} \\$

And

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \: \: {x}^{m} \times {x}^{n} = {x}^{m + n} \: }}} \\$

So, using this identity, we

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times {5}^{2n + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 3 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 4} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

can be further rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 2 + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ {5}^{2n + 2} (5 - 1)}{ {5}^{2n + 2} ( {5}^{2} - 1)}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{25 - 1}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{24}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{1}{6}$

<u>Hence, </u>

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} } = \frac{1}{6} }}$
