<h3>Answer: Revenue decreases by 23.2%</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

x = demand

p = price

Solve for the demand x when the price is p = 4.50 dollars.

x+500p = 3500

x+500(4.50) = 3500

x+2250 = 3500

x = 3500-2250

x = 1250

If the price is $4.50, then the demand is 1250 (ie 1250 people will want a hamburger)

-------------

Compute the revenue

Revenue = (price per item)*(number of items sold)

Revenue = p*x

Revenue = (4.50)*(1250)

Revenue = 5625

If the price per burger is $4.50, then the revenue is $5,625.

-------------

Let's increase the price by 20%. To do this, multiply by 1.20

1.20*4.50 = 5.40

The price of the burger is now $5.40

Let's see what x will become after we plug in p = 5.40

x+500p = 3500

x+500(5.40) = 3500

x+2700 = 3500

x = 3500-2700

x = 800

The demand has dropped to 800

-------------

Next compute the new revenue

Revenue = (price per item)*(number of items sold)

Revenue = p*x

Revenue = (5.40)*(800)

Revenue = 4320

The revenue is now $4,320

-------------

Lastly, find the percent change from the old revenue ($5,625) to the new revenue ($4,320)

A = old value = 5625

B = new value = 4320

C = percent change from A to B

C = 100*(B-A)/A

C = 100*(4320-5625)/5625

C = 100*(-1305/5625)

C = 100*(-0.232)

C = -23.2%

The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.

Answer:

-\frac{15}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{4} ^{2}= \frac{1}{16}

2*(pq)= 2(\frac{1}{6})= \frac{1}{3}

-3q^{2}= -3(\frac{4}{9} )= -\frac{4}{3}

\frac{1}{16} +\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{3}=

The lateral area of a cylinder is 325 pi inch^2. The radius is 13 in. Find the surface area and volume. Please show all work!!!
USPshnik [31]
Answer:

Surface area =  663π in².
Volume = (676/3)π in² ≈ 225.33 π in²

Explanation:


1) We know the radius and the lateral area.

2) With the radius you can find the areas of the top and the bottom.

For that, you use the formula: 

area of the top = area of the bottom = π r² 


∴ π (13 in)² = 169π in² (each)


3) Then, the surface area is the sum of the lateral area and the two bases (top and bottom)

surface area = lateral area + bottom area + top area = 325π in² + 2×169π in² = 663π in².

3) You  can also find the height of the cylinder.

Use the formula: lateral area = 2π r h


∴ h = lateral area / [2 π r]

⇒ h = 325 π / [ 2π (13) ] = 12.5 in


4) With  the height you can find the volume.

Use the formula: V = (4/3) π r³ 

∴ V = (4/3) π (13 in)³ = (676/3)π in² ≈ 225.33 π in²

No chi-square The principal in Exercise 7 also
larisa [96]

The random sample of the students is an illustration of sampling

The chi-square test for goodness of fit is inappropriate because the variable under study is not categorical.

<h3>How to determine the reason chi square is not appropriate?</h3>

The dataset is given as:

Monday        34

Tuesday       29

Wednesday   32

Thursday        28

Friday             19

The variable of the above dataset is a not a categorical dataset.

One of the conditions of the chi-square test for goodness of fit test is that the variable under study must be categorical.

Hence, the chi-square test for goodness of fit is inappropriate because the variable under study is not categorical.
