Answer:

c. 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you find the mean of data set:

83 + 85 + 82 + 93 + 83 + 84 + 95 + 87 + 86 + 94 = 872/10 = 87.2

then, you take each number and subtract the mean and square it:

(87.2 - 83)² = (4.2)² = 17.64

(87.2 - 85)² = (2.2)² = 4.84

(87.2 - 82)² = (5.2)² = 27.04

(93 - 87.2)² = (5.8)² = 33.64

(87.2 - 83)² = (4.2)² = 17.64

(87.2 - 84)² = (3.2)² = 10.24

(95 - 87.2)² = (7.8)² = 60.84

(87.2 - 87)² = (0.2)² = 0.04

(87.2 - 86)² = (1.2)² = 1.44

(94 - 87.2)² = (6.8)² = 46.24

now, find the mean of the squared numbers:

17.64 + 4.84 + 27.04 + 33.64 + 17.64 + 10.24 + 60.84 + 0.04 + 1.44 + 46.24 = 219.6/10 = 21.96

then, take the square root of the number you just got:

√21.96 = 4.68

and last but not least, round to the nearest tenth: 4.7

A tractor was purchased for $30,000 six years ago. what is the value of the tractor today if the depreciation rate was 2.5%?

MrRissso [65]

Initial cost = $30,000
Depreciation rate = 2.5%

Depreciation expense per year = 30,000*2.5/100 = $750
In six years,
Depreciation = 6*750 = $4,500

Value of the tractor = Initial cost - Depreciation = $30,000 - $4,500 = $25,500

Osama starts with a population of 1,000 amoebas that increases 30% in size every hour for a number of hours, h. The expression 1

Blizzard [7]

Answer: The correct option is A, itis the product of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

Explanation:

From the given information,

Initial population = 1000

Increasing rate or growth rate = 30% every hour.

No of population increase in every hour is,

$1000\times \frac{30}{100} =1000\times 0.3$

Total population after h hours is,

$1000(1+0.3)^h$

It is in the form of,

$P(t)=P_0(t)(1+r)^t$

Where $P_0(t)$ is the initial population, r is increasing rate, t is time and [tex(1+r)^t[/tex] is the growth factor after time t.

In the above equation 1000 is the initial population and $(1+0.3)^h$ is the growth factor after h hours. So the equation is product of of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

Therefore, the correct option is A, itis the product of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

Malik buys and sells car parts. He bought two tires for $45.00 each and later sold them for $65.00 each. He bought three rims fo

Aleksandr [31]

Malik earned $243.

When he bought the tires, he spent $90 ($45x2), and he sold them for $130 ($65x2). So his profit was $40 ($130-$90).

He bought three rims for $225 ($85x3) and sold them all for $378 ($126x3). His profit was $153 ($378-$225).

The headlight covers cost him $25 in total ($5x5). He sold them all and got $75 ($15x5). The profit was $50 ($75-$25).

The total amount of money made was $243 ($40+$153+$50).
