9% decrease because 145-132=13
13=9% of 145

Hello,

What LacyMarie answered is right.

First Method :

145 pounds --> 100%
132 pounds --> x %

So x = 132*100/145 = 91 %

Now you just have to do 100 - 91 = 9 % decrease from 145 pounds to 132 pounds.

Second method :

145 - 132 = 13 right ?

145 pounds --> 100 %
13 pounds --> x %

So x = 13*100/145 = 9 %

The answer is 9 % decrease from 145 to 132.

I gave you 2 methods, do as you wish now !

Hope this helps !

Jane is trying to estimate the average electric bill amount of people who live in Las Cruces in summer time. She randomly select

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The estimated average electric cost amount of all residents in Las Cruces = 182.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The bill amounts from the electric company for the month of July for 10 randomly selected houses from the map was obtained to be

135 265 215 103 156 203 125 156 230 241

Using the Central Limit theory, the mean of a sample extracted randomly from an independent distribution is approximately equal to the population mean of the independent distribution.

This means that the sample mean of a random sample extracted from the population is a good estimate of the population mean.

Sample mean ≈ Population mean

μₓ = μ

Mean = = (Σx)/N

The mean is the sum of variables divided by the number of variables

x = each variable

N = Sample size = 10

Σx = (135+265+215+103+156+203+125+156+230+241) = 1,829

Sample mean = (1,829/10) = 182.9

Population mean ≈ sample mean

Population mean ≈ 182.9

Hope this Helps!!!

Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

Tom [10]

Answer: The statements in options 2 and 4 are true.

Explanation:

The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is multiple of both numbers.

The factor of 8 and 12 are,

$8=2\times 2\times 2$

$12=2\times 2\times 3$

Since 2 and 2 are common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 8 and 12 is,

$L.C.M.(8,12)=2\times 2\times 2\times 3=24$

Therefore the statement in option 1 is incorrect.

The factor of 6 and 9 are,

$6=2\times 3$

$9=3\times 3$

Since 3 is common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 6 and 9 is,

$L.C.M.(6,9)=2\times 3\times 3=18$

Therefore the statement in option 2 is correct.

The factor of 11 and 4 are,

$11=1\times 11$

$4=2\times 2$

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 11 and 4 is,

$L.C.M.(11,4)=1\times 11\times 2\times 2=44$

Therefore the statement in option 3 is incorrect.

The factor of 9 and 10 are,

$9=1\times 9$

$10=2\times 5$

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 9 and 10 is,

$L.C.M.(9,10)=1\times 9\times 2\times 5=90$

Therefore the statement in option 4 is correct.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

25 to the power of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

we got 25 schools ordering newspapers for 25 classes of 25 kids. that's 25x25x25. it wants the number of pages total, and since there's 25 pages in each newspaper we add another 25. so it's 25x25x25x25, also known as 25 to the power of 3.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 millimeters. One leg of the right triangle is 10 millimeters. What is the length of the

Daniel [21]

Hypotenuse = 26 mm 

1st Leg = 10 mm

Other Leg = x.

By Pythagoras Theorem:

x² + 10² = 26²

x² + 100 = 676 

x² = 676 - 100

x² = 576

x = √576

x = 24

The other leg is 24 mm
