Answer: 600

Step-by-step explanation: Let's first rewrite this problem to say 40% of what number is 240.

To answer the question 40% of what number is 240, we translate the question into an equation. First we have 40% which we need to write as a decimal. To write 40% as a decimal, we move the decimal point 2 places to the left. Filling in the missing position with a zero, we get 0.4.

Next we have "of what number" which means times x, "is 240" equals 240.

Now we have the equation (0.40)(x) = 240.

Now to solve for x, since x is being multiplied by 0.40, we need to divide by 0.40 on both sides of the equation. On the left side of the equation the 0.40's cancel and we have x. On the right side of the equation we have 240 divided by 0.40 which is 600.

This means that x = 600.

This means that 40% of 600 is 250.

Which of the following will make a confidence interval narrower and more precise?

swat32

Answer:

B. Larger sample size and lower confidence level

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is given by the following formula:

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

z is related to the confidence level. The higher the confidence level, the higher the value of Z.

So, the margin of error is direct proportion to the confidence level and inverse proportional to the sample size.

We want to decrease the margin of error.

So the correct answer is:

B. Larger sample size and lower confidence level

You have just bought a new television and it has an aspect ratio of 16:9. The screen on the television is 65 inches. What is the

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The TV to have a 16:9 ratio and have a diagonal of 65 inches must have a length & width whose squares add to 4,225 (65 squared) and whose ratio length and width simplifies to 16/9.

B is not an option because $16^2+9^2\neq 65^2$ .

C is not an option because $\frac{42.59}{21.22}\neq \frac{16}{9}$ which is 1.777777777778 as a decimal.

D fails for the same reason as C.

Therefore A is the solution because $\frac{56.65}{31.86}=\frac{16}{9}$ and $65.65^2+31.86^2 = 65^2$

A store is instructed by corporate headquarters to put a markup of 25% on all items. An item costing $24 is displayed by the s

larisa [96]

Answer: The correct selling price is $29.97.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost price of an item = $27

Mark up rate = 11%

So, Amount of mark up would be

So, Amount after mark up would be

Hence, the correct selling price is $29.97.

The manager's likely error is that he has put the selling price the mark up amount only i.e $2.9≈$3 instead of adding the mark up amount to the cost price.
