Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial area is 40 square feet

Final area is 28 square feet

Difference between the initial and final areas will be 40-28=12 square feet

Taking the initial area as the base area and expressing the area change in percentage then the percentage decrease will be equivalent to

\frac {12\times 100}{40}=30

Therefore,  the decrease in area expressed as a percentage is equal to 30%

Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You mix the Gazebo blen
user100 [1]

Answer:

18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a ratio problem and we are given three values and one variable x (pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee needed) we can use the Rule of Three to solve this problem. In this rule we simply multiply the diagonal available values and divide by the third value to get the value of the variable, like so...

90lbs Gazebo  <=====>   27lbs Mexican Blend

60lbs Gazebo  <=====>   x lbs Mexican Blend

(60 * 27) / 90 = x

1620 / 90 = x

18 lbs = x

We need 18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee blend to mix with the 60lbs of Gazebo blend

Consider the one-sided confidence interval expressions for the mean of a normal population. Round your answers to 2 decimal plac
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: a) 0.84  b) 0.67  c) 1.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the standard normal distribution table for z-value , we have

(a) The value of z_{\alpha} would result in a 80% one-sided confidence interval : z_{(1-0.80)}=z_{0.20}=0.8416\approx0.84

(b) The value of z_{\alpha} would result in a 85% one-sided confidence interval : z_{(1-0.85)}=z_{0.25}=0.6744897\approx0.67

(c) The value of z_{\alpha} would result in a 90% one-sided confidence interval : z_{(1-0.90)}=z_{0.10}=1.2815515\approx1.28

Is y=3x+4 parallel or perpendicular
Sauron [17]

Answer: y=3x+4 is parallel to y=3x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Is y=3x+4 parallel, perpendicular or neither to y=3x+7?"</h3><h3 />

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

First, in order to solve this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition:

1. The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

2. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal.

In this case, you have the following line given in the exercise:

 y=3x+4

You can identify that "m" and "b" are:

m=3\\b=4

And the other line provided in the exercise is this one:

y=3x+7

So, you can identify that:

m=3\\b=7

As you can notice, the slopes of both lines are equal; therefore, you can conclude that those lines are parallel.
