A toy cost 0.85p in January.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mark down in January = 15%

Let,

Price in December = p

Mark down in January = 15% of price in December

Mark down in January = $\frac{15}{100}*p$

Mark down in January = 0.15p

Price of toy in January = Price in December - Mark down

Price of toy in January = p - 0.15p = 0.85p

A toy cost 0.85p in January.

1) X^5Y/X^5= X^0Y= Y (Anything raise to power of 0 is 1)
2)(3mn)^1= 3mn
3)m^-4xM^5= M^-4+5= M
4) 5^-4x5^4= 5^-4+4= 5^0= 1
5) nm^3/n^3m= n^1-3m^3-1= n^-2m^2= m^2/n^2
6) (-2)^0= 1

therefore number 4 and 6 has the value of 1

In a random sample of 30 people who rode a roller coaster one day, the mean wait time is 46.7 minutes with a standard deviation

Rainbow [258]

Answer: C. $(29,\ 37.8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for difference of two population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2}}$

Given : Level of significance : $1-\alpha:0.99$

Then , significance level : $\alpha: 1-0.99=0.01$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576$

$n_1=30\ ;\ n_2=50\\\\\overline{x}_1=46.7\ ;\ \overline{x}_2=13.3\\\\s_1=9.2\ ;\ s_2=1.9$

$46.7-13.3\pm(2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{9.2^2}{30}+\dfrac{1.9^2}{50}}\approx33.4\pm4.38=(29.02\ ,37.78)\approx(29,\ 37.8)$

Hence, a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the mean wait times of everyone who rode both rides $(29,\ 37.8)$

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 264. What are the integers? (show your work)

Anettt [7]

Answer:

1 Expert Answer

X + Y + Z = 264. Since Y is 1 bigger than X, Y = X + 1. Since Z is 1 bigger than Y, Z = Y + 1. But Y = X + 1, so Z = (X + 1) + 1 = X + 2.
