Hi there!

Answer:

-14.98%(or -15%).

Step-by-step explanation:

1)To find the percent decrease,all you have to do is minus the original number from the decreased amount so:

1435-1220= 215

2)Then you divide this answer by the original number again so:

215÷1435= 0.1498

3)Then you times the decimal by 100 so:

0.1489x100= -14.98%(or -15%).

Hope this helps!

Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle XYZ. 
murzikaleks [220]
XZ = 186.8625.

Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of their angles is the same.  This means the ratio of BC to YZ will be the same as the ratio of AC to XZ; using this to set up a proportion,

9.6/118.8 = 15.1/x

Cross multiply:
9.6*x = 118.8(15.1)
9.6x = 1793.88

Divide both sides by 9.6:
9.6x/9.6 = 1793.88/9.6
x = 186.8625

The weights of adult male beagles are normally distributed, with a mean of 25 pounds and a standard deviation of 4 pounds.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

A) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean weight = u = 25 pounds

Standard Deviation = \sigma = 4 pounds

We have to find how many beagles out of 75 will weigh more than 30. Since the data is normally distributed, we can use z score to find this value. First we will what is the percentage(probability) of a randomly selected beagle to weigh more than x = 30 pounds, using this percentage we can then find our answer.

The formula for z score is:

z=\frac{x-u}{\sigma}

Using the values, we get:

z=\frac{30-25}{4}=1.25

So, P(Weight > 30) is equivalent to P(z > 1.25). Using the z table, we can write:

P(z > 1.25) = P(Weight > 30) = 0.1056

This, 0.1056 or 10.56% of the beagles are expected to weigh more than 30 pounds.

So,out of 75 beagles, 10.56% of 75 are expected to weigh more than 30 pounds.

10.56% of 75 = 0.1056 x 75 = 7.92 = 8 (rounding to nearest integer)

Therefore, out of 75 beagles 8 are expected to weigh more than 30 pounds.

To find the area of a circle with a diameter of 18.
Serga [27]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the areas.

Since we know that, radius = diameter /2

here, => d = 2r ,

hence we use the formula as,

A = πr^2 ,

here option d.) is correct.
