The decrease was 27%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Old value = $980

New value = $720

Decrease = Old value - New value

$Decrease=980-720=\$260$

Percent decrease = $\frac{Decreased/ amount}{Old value}*100$

$Percent\ decrease=\frac{260}{980}*100\\Percent\ decrease=0.265*100\\Percent\ decrease= 26.5\%$

Rounding off to near whole percent

Percent decrease = 27%

The decrease was 27%.

Luis set up an A-frame ladder so that the angle formed between each side of the ladder and the ground is 125 degrees. What is th

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

70°

found by considering A-frame ladder as a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

angle form on either side of A-frame ladder with the ground = 125°(exterior)

As it is a A-frame ladder so its a triangle, we will find the angle at the top of ladder by using different properties of triangle

1) find interior angle form by A-frame ladder with the ground

125 + x = 180 sum of angles on a straight line

x = 180 - 125

x = 55°

2) find the angle on top of ladder

55 + 55 + y = 180 sum of angle of a triangle

110 + y = 180

y = 180 - 110

y = 70°

ella [17]

ANSWER:

104

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Standard deviation (σ) = 700

Confidence level = 95%

Mean error (Eμ) = 135

We have for a confidence level of 95%:

$\begin{gathered} \alpha=100\%-95\%=5\%=0.05 \\ \\ \alpha\text{/2}=\frac{0.05}{2}=0.025 \\ \\ \text{ The corresponding Z value for \alpha/2 = 0.025 is as follows:} \\ \\ Z_{\alpha\text{/2}}=1.96 \end{gathered}$

Now, we calculate the minimum value of the sample size as follows:

$\begin{gathered} n=\left(\frac{Z_{\alpha\text{/2}}\cdot\sigma}{E}\right)^2 \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ \:n=\left(\frac{1.96\cdot 700}{135}\right)^2 \\ \\ \:n=103.2858\cong104 \end{gathered}$

The minimum sample size needed is 104

16cm/min equals how many meters in one hour

Phantasy [73]

16cm x 60 would give you the centimeters per hour
16 x 60 = 960cm
= 9.6m

(There are 60 minutes in an hour which is how i got that number)
