Orlov [11]3 years ago

Alright, this is simple. You know what the new number is, 54. You know the original number was decreased by 40%. Your looking for the original number, X. So set up an equation.
x-.4x=54
When X stands by itself, it's perceived to value 1.00
1.00-.4x=54
(1.00-.4 [40%]=.6)
.6x=54

Divide both sides by .6 to eliminate everything else.
.6x/.6=54/.6

You get 90. Your original number was indeed 90.
To check it, we can do 90/40%, or 90/.4=54

~Hope this helps!

The correct answer is B. Stratified sampling is​ used since the field is divided into subplots and a random sample is taken from each subplot.

Explanation:

Sampling refers to the process followed by researchers to select a group of individuals from a larger group; considering in most studies it is not possible to analyze all the population. In the case of stratified sampling, this involves dividing the general population into smaller groups, which are known as strata; after this, the researcher selects a specific number of individuals from each strata. This method guarantees the sample is selected randomly, and therefore the study is not biased. Stratified sampling was the method used in the example described because, in this, the general population (46-acre field) was divided into subplots that represent the strata. Also, after this, the researcher selected one random sample.

Evaluate f(x) = 4x + 3x^2 − 5 when x = -2.<br> 23<br><br><br> -1<br><br><br> -25<br><br><br> -49
frozen [14]

Answer:

f(-2) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of doing this is to substitute -2 for x in every place where x shows up:

f(x) = 4x + 3x^2 − 5  →  f(-2) = 4(-2) + 3(-2)^2 − 5  

                                 → f(-2)  = -8    + 3(4) -   5, or f(-2) = 4 - 5, or f(-2) = -1

vichka [17]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the answer of the equation, sub the given information into it:

z + xz + y

we know that:

x = 5

y = 1

z = 3

We got:

= 3 + 5*3 + 1

= 3 + 15 + 1

= 19
