Answer: $25,500

Step-by-step explanation:

15/100 = 4500/x , we use this proportion to find out how much the entore book deal was.  When you multiply 4500 x 100 and divide by 15, it gives you an answer of 30,000.  30,000 is the value of the book deal.  The agent gets 15% but the entire deal would be worth 100%.  We subtract 15% from 100% to get 85%.  85% is what the author will receive.  85% of 30,000 is $25,500. We find the answer by multiplying 30,000 by 0.15. 0.15 is the decimal equivalent of 15.

An airline's public relations department claims that when luggage is lost, 88% is recovered and delivered to its owner within 24
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The hypothesis statements are: H0: p = 0.88 versus HA : p < 0.88

The p-value of the test is 0.2483 > 0.1, which means that the data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0. 88

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 0.88, that is:

H_0: p = 0.88

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this proportion is less than 0.88, that is:

H_a: p < 0.88

The hypothesis statements are: H0: p = 0.88 versus HA : p < 0.88

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.88 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.88, \sigma = \sqrt{0.88*0.12}

A consumer group who surveyed a large number of air travelers found that 138 out of 160 people who lost luggage on that airline were reunited with the missing items by the next day.

This means that n = 160, X = \frac{138}{160} = 0.8625

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.8625 - 0.88}{\frac{\sqrt{0.88*0.12}}{\sqrt{160}}}

z = -0.68

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.8625, which is the p-value of z = -0.68.

Looking at the z-table, the p-value of z = -0.68 is of 0.2483.

The p-value of the test is 0.2483 > 0.1, which means that the data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0.88.

3.27x+1.28y+1.83x−2.77y
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

5.1x - 1.49y

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add or substract like terms.

like terms are the terms that have the same variable, in this case:

3.27x and 1.83x are like terms, and adding them we get:

3.27x + 1.83x = 5.1x (you add only the coefficients and the x stays the same)

we do the same for the terms with 'y':

1.28y and −2.77y are like terms, but in this case we must substract because of the − sign:

1.28y −2.77y = -1.49y

the final answer is the conjunction of the two results that we obtained:

5.1x - 1.49y
