Answer: $2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3 /><h3>CONCEPT TO KNOW</h3>

When you come across statements such as [a of b] is basically a×b

If you are still confusing, I can provide some numerical examples.

  • 1/2 of 4=2 (1/2 × 4)
  • 4/5 of 5=4 (4/5 × 5)

This also applies to your question.

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

<h3> SOLVE</h3>

a of b

=3/4 of 2.99

=3/4 × 2.99

=$2.24 (rounded)

In a large population, 82% of the households have cable tv. A simple random sample of 225 households is to be contacted and the
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions is 0.82 and the standard deviation is 0.0256.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For proportions, the mean is \mu = p and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.82, n = 225.

So

\mu = 0.82

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.82*0.18}{225}} = 0.0256

The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions is 0.82 and the standard deviation is 0.0256.

A string of decorative lights is 28 feet long. The first light on the string is 16 inches from the plug. If the lights on the st
lilavasa [31]
Well if there is 28 feet, that would be (12x28) 336 inches,  and 16 inches between the plug and the first light, there would be only 320 inches left for lights. therefore, if there are 4 inches between each light, we divide 320 by 4.  the answer we get is 80. there are 80 lights.

8 numbers have a sum of 90. Whats the average number?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{11.25}

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the average of a set of numbers, we

  • A) Add up all the numbers
  • B) Divide that sum by the total number of numbers in the data set

Let's represent this with a formula, s being the sum of all numbers, n being the total number of numbers.

\frac{s}{n}

Since we <u>already know the sum</u> and we <u>know how many numbers there are</u> (8), we can substitute inside our expression \frac{s}{n} to find the average.

  • \frac{90}{8}
  • 11.25

Therefore, the average of all these numbers is 11.25.

Hope this helped!

A pharmacist has an 18% alcohol solution and a 40% alcohol solution. How much of each should he mix together to make 10 liters o
ladessa [460]
X = amount of the 18% solution

y = amount of the 40% solution

we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%?  well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.

likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution?  well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.

we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that?  well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&\stackrel{liters}{amount}&\stackrel{alcohol~\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{liters}{alcohol}\\&#10;&------&------&------\\&#10;\textit{18\% solution}&x&0.18&0.18x\\&#10;\textit{40\% solution}&y&0.40&0.4y\\&#10;------&------&------&------\\&#10;mixture&10&0.20&2&#10;\end{array}

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;x+y=10\implies \boxed{y}=10-x\\&#10;0.18x+0.4y=2\\&#10;----------\\&#10;0.18x+0.4\left( \boxed{10-x} \right)=2&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;0.18x-0.4x+4=2\implies -0.22x=-2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x=\cfrac{-2}{-0.22}\implies x=\cfrac{100}{11}\implies x=9\frac{1}{11}

how much of the 40% solution?  well y = 10 - x
