Answer:

a = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation using the distributive property and rational coefficents (fractions).  The first step is to complete the distributive property on both sides of the equation and multiply each term in the expression in parenthesis by the constant on the outside.  (3/4 x 2a) - (3/4 x 6) +1/2 = (2/5 x 3a) + (2/5 x 20).  When we multiply and simplify, we get 3/2a - 9/2 + 1/2 = 6/5a + 8.  Next step is to combine like terms:  3/2a  - 8/2 = 6/5a +8.  We then need to isolate the variable by using inverse operations:  3/10a = 12, then solve for 'a' by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal (10/3) to get a = 40.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Let the marked price be x

Discount % = 10%

Discount = 10\% \times x = 0.1x10%×x=0.1x

Cost after discount = x-0.1x = 0.9x

10%vat is charged on it

Cost including VAT = 0.9x+0.1(0.9x)=0.99x0.9x+0.1(0.9x)=0.99x

We are given that  it's price became rs 1672

So, 0.99x = 1672

x=\frac{1672}{0.99}x=0.991672

x=1688.88

Discount = 0.1x=0.1(1688.88)=168.888

Hence The discount

2. P337. 23. A large box contains 10,000 ball bearings. A random sample of 120 is chosen. The sample mean diameter is 10 mm, and
Rashid [163]

Answer:

B is True

A, C. D are false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 120

Mean diameter, m = 10

Standard deviation, s = 0.24

Confidence level, Zcritical ; Z0.05/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96

The confidence interval represents how the true mean value compares to a set of values around the mean computed from a set of sample drawn from the population.

The population here is N = 10000

To obtain

Confidence interval (C. I) :

Mean ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.24/sqrt(120)

Confidence interval for the 10,000 ball bearing :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120)

Hence. The confidence interval defined as :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120) is the 95% confidence interval for the mean diameter of the 10,000 bearings in the box.
