Answer:

24.6 % decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original temperature

Increase by 25%

x + .25x

1.25x

Decrease by 40%

The amount decreased is

(1.25x) *.40

.496x

Subtract that from 1.25x

1.25x - .496x

.754x

We need to find the percent decrease

1 - .754 = .246

24.6 % decrease

Answer:

Temperature decreased by 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial temperature be t

Step 1

<u>Increase by 25%:</u>

  • t + 25% = t + 0.25 t = 1.25 t

Step 2

<u>Decrease by 40%:</u>

  • 1.25 t  - 40% = 1.25 t - 0.4 * 1.25 t= 1.25 t - 0.5 t = 0.75 t

Temperature changed from t to 0.75 t

<u>The difference in %:</u>

  • 0.75 t - t = -0.25 t = 25% decrease

<u>Temperature decreased </u>by 25%

Problem 1: Given the following probabilities P(Ac) = 0.45, P(B) = 0.34, and P(B|A) = 0.23. Find the following probabilities:
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

P(A)=0.55

P(A and B)=P(A∩B)=0.1265

P(A or B)=P(A∪B)=0.7635

P(A|B)=0.3721

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A')=0.45

P(A)=1-0.45=0.55

P(B∩A)=?

P(B|A)=0.23

P(B|A)=(P(A∩B))/P(A)

0.23=(P(A∩B))/0.55

P(A∩B)=0.23×0.55=0.1265

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

=0.55+0.34-0.1265

=0.7635

P(A|B)=[P(A∩B)]/P(B)=0.1265/0.34 ≈0.3721

Sophia‘s favorite homemade cookie recipe requires one cup of chocolate chips for 10 servings if the number of cups required for
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to find how many cups of chocolate chips she needs for 30 servings. Assuming c = cups of chocolate chips and b = batches

\frac{c}{b}

\frac{1}{10} = \frac{c}{30}

We can now multiply the diagonal values that don't include the missing variable (30 and 1) and then divide it by the value that is diagonal to the variable (10)

30 \cdot 1 = 30\\30 \div 10 = 3

Therefore, she needs 3 cups of chocolate chips to make 30 servings.

If the line in the graph is shifted up two units which is the equation of the new line
anastassius [24]

Answer:

f(x) + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

If we have say f(x) = x + 1 then 2 units will be added to f(x) when it is moved up 2 units.

So the equation of this line will be f(x) + 2 which in this example is

x + 1+ 2.

The new function is  x + 3.
