Answer:

5.545

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be easily solved by using the law of cosines, which relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its angles.

in this case, the formula can be applied in the following way

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(α)

Where

a,b,c are each of the sides of the triangle,

α is the angle between sides b and c

(See attached picture)

If we use the formula we get

a^2 = (9)^2 + (6)^2 - 2*(9)(6)*cos(37°)

a^2 = 81 + 36 - 86.2526

a^2 = 30.747

a = sqrt(30.747)

a = 5.545

A study found that, in 2005, 12.5% of U.S. workers belonged to unions (The Wall Street Journal, January 21, 2006). Suppose a sam

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that union membership increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 400

p = 12.5% = 0.125

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of women belonging to union , x = 52

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: p = 0.125\\H_A: p > 0.125$

The null hypothesis sates that 12.5% of U.S. workers belong to union and the alternate hypothesis states that there is a increase in union membership.

This is a one-tailed(right) test.

Formula:

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{52}{400} = 0.13$

$z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z = \displaystyle\frac{0.13-0.125}{\sqrt{\frac{0.125(1-0.125)}{400}}} = 0.3023$

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.

P-value = 0.3812

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that union membership increased.

Joe is buying a jacket that originally costs $59.27 but is on sale for 10% off. Sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost of the j

postnew [5]

Hello!

10% off means there's a discount on the jacket, so we will be finding how much the discount is worth and then we'll subtract that from the original cost of the jacket.
Sales tax is basically additional money added to the cost of an item, so we will find what the sales tax is on this and then add that to the cost.

59.27 * 10% = 5.927

59.27 - 5.927 = 53.343

Now, find and add the sales tax.

53.343 * 7% = 3.73401

53.343 + 3.73401 = 57.07701

Round this to 57.1

The total cost of the jacket is $57.1.

How do you write 70% as a fraction in simplest form ?

alexdok [17]

70% equals to 70/100 in fraction form.
But, you need to write it in simplest form. so, divide both of them from 10 'cause they both can divide completely by it.
70/100 = 7/10
so, your answer is 7/10
