The <em>correct answer</em> is:

He paid the correct amount.

Explanation:

First we find the subtotal of Manny's items:

32.65+3(14.89)+39.99 = 32.65+44.67+39.99 = 117.31

Next, we calculate the discount. If he gets 10% off, this means he pays 100%-10% = 90% of the total. 90% = 90/100 = 0.9:

0.9(117.31) = 105.579

Next we calculate the tax. Since tax is 8%, this means he pays 100% of his subtotal after discount plus the 8% tax; 100%+8% = 108%; 108% = 108/100 = 1.08:

1.08(105.579) = 114.02532 ≈ 114.03

Since this is what he paid, he paid the correct amount.

Find the volume of the cone shown. Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

25.13 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone or pyramid is:

V = ⅓ A h

where A is the area of the base and h is the height.

V = ⅓ π r² h

V = ⅓ π (2 cm)² (6 cm)

V = 8π cm³

V ≈ 25.13 cm³

ACCORDING TO THE FOOD LABEL ON A BOX COOKIES, EACH BOX HAS 16 SERVING AND EACH SERVING CONTAINS 4 COOKES. THE WIGHT OF THE BOX O

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

7.8125 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the food label on the box of cookies, there are 16 servings in each box and each serving contains 4 cookies.

Therefore, each box of cookies contains (16 × 4) = 64 cookies.

If a box of cookies weighs $\frac{1}{2}$ kg i.e. 500 gram, then the weight of each cookies will be $\frac{500}{64} = 7.8125$ grams. (Answer)

High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. adults with high

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

1. It is not appropriate to use the normal curve, since np = 7.4 < 10.

2. The probability that more than 32% of the people in this sample have high blood pressure is 0.0033 = 0.33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial approximation to the normal:

The binomial approximation to the normal can be used if:

np >= 10 and n(1-p) >= 10

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

The proportion of U.S. adults with high blood pressure is 0.2. A sample of 37 U.S. adults is chosen.

This means, respectively, that $p = 0.2, n = 37$

Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 48% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure?

np = 37*0.2 = 7.4 < 10

So not appropriate.

It is not appropriate to use the normal curve, since np = 7.4 < 10.

Part 2:

Now n = 82, 82*0.2 = 16.4 > 10, so ok

Mean and standard deviation:

By the Central Limit Theorem,

Mean $\mu = p = 0.2$
