Marked price = 200 + 40% of 200 = 200 * 0.4*200 = 200 + 80 = $280 price after 25% discount = 280 - 0.25*280 can you work that out?

If 2^x+4 = 2^3x-1, what is the value of x?

Ronch [10]

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2^x+4 = 2^3x-1

x + 4 = 3x - 1

3x - x = 4 + 1

2x = 5

x = 5/2

Use the sample data and confidence level to construct the confidence interval estimate of the population proportion p. n equals

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(0.767,0.833)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 95% confidence interval for population proportion p can be computed as

$p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }$

The z-value associated with 95% confidence level is 1.96.

whereas p=x/n

We are given that x=440 and n=550.

p=440/550=0.8

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.8(0.2)}{550} }$

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.16}{550} }$

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{0.00029 }$

$0.8-1.96(0.01706)$

$0.8-0.03343$

$0.76657$

Thus, the required confidence interval is

0.767<P<0.833 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

Hence, we are 95% confident that our true population proportion will lie in the interval (0.767,0.833)

Which fraction is greater 9/12 or 1/3

ValentinkaMS [17]

We need to first find a common denominator. This means that we need the 12 and the 3 to be the same number. We can change the 1/3 into 4/12 and see that 9/12 is larger than 4/12.
