If your question is, "how much had Mr. Kork paid for the car?"

(8,400-200)/.4=$20,500

Achristensen's answer is correct. Just want to add a little more explanation how to arrive at the result.

let x be the original price.

Rewrite the verbal question as an equation using x:

8400 = 200 + 2/5 * x

solve for x:

8400-200 = 2/5*x

5/2*8200 = x

x = 20500

The original price was $20,500

Two brands of AAA batteries are tested in order to compare their voltage. The data summary can be found below. Find the 93% conf

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_}{n_2}}$

And replacing we got:

$(9.2 -8.8) - 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.2903$

$(9.2 -8.8) + 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.5097$

And the confidence interval for the difference of means would be given by:

$0.2903 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 0.5097$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

We have the following data given:

$\bar X_1 = 9.2 , \bar X_2 = 8.8, \sigma_1= 0.3, n_1 = 27, \sigma_2 = 0.1, n_2 = 30$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 93% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.93=0.07$ and $\alpha/2 =0.035$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.811, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.811$

The confidence interval is given by:

$(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_}{n_2}}$

And replacing we got:

$(9.2 -8.8) - 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.2903$

$(9.2 -8.8) + 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.5097$

And the confidence interval for the difference of means would be given by:

$0.2903 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 0.5097$

In Figure 1, the area of square A is 9 square units, the area of square B is 16 square units, and the area of square C is 25 squ

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. The sum of the areas of the two smaller squares is equal to the area of the larger square.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 + 16 = 25

36 + 64 = 100

25 + 144 = 169

The relations "less than" and "greater than" can be ruled out. These observations are consistent with selection C.

The triangle area is half the product of the square roots of the squares on the legs, so the areas of the triangles are (respectively) 6, 24, 30. These are not related to the sum of the smaller squares, so the last selection can also be ruled out.

What is the y-intercept of the polynomial f(x)f(x) f(x) defined below? Write the y-value only. f(x)=−4x2+x5+10x3+5x+8x4f(x)=-4x^

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x² +x⁵ +10x³ +5x+8x⁴

Required

Determine the y intercept

The y intercept of a function is a point where x = 0

So, we have to substitute 0 for x in the above function

f(x) = 4x² +x⁵ +10x³ +5x+8x⁴ becomes

f(0) = 4(0)² +(0)⁵ +10(0)³ +5(0)+8(0)⁴

f(0) = 4 * 0 + 0 + 10 * 0 + 5 * 0 + 8 * 0

f(0) = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0

f(0) = 0

Substitute y for f(0)

y = 0

Hence, the y intercept is 0
