What is this percent of change 40;72

1 answer:

6 0

Given:
Original or base : 40
New amount : 72

We need to find the difference of the new amount and the original amount

72 - 40 = 32

We then divide the difference by the original amount

32/40 = 0.80

We multiply the quotient by 100%

0.80 x 100% = 80%

The percentage of change is 80%

Elanso [62]

Answer:

y=8/(p+q+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

py+qy=-4y+8

Collect all terms containing y together

Py+qy+4y=8

Factor out y

y(p+q+4)=8

Divide both sides by (p+q+4)

y(p+q+4)/(p+q+4)=8/(p+q+4)

y=8/(p+q+4)

Answer:

$Range=14$

$\sigma^2 =32.4$

$\sigma = 5 .7$

The standard deviation will remain unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Data: 136, 129, 141, 139, 138, 127$

Solving (a): The range

This is calculated as:

$Range = Highest - Least$

Where:

$Highest = 141; Least = 127$

So:

$Range=141-127$

$Range=14$

Solving (b): The variance

First, we calculate the mean

$\bar x = \frac{1}{n} \sum x$

$\bar x = \frac{1}{6} (136+ 129+ 141+ 139+ 138+ 127)$

$\bar x = \frac{1}{6} *810$

$\bar x = 135$

The variance is calculated as:

$\sigma^2 =\frac{1}{n-1}\sum(x - \bar x)^2$

So, we have:

$\sigma^2 =\frac{1}{6-1}*[(136 - 135)^2 +(129 - 135)^2 +(141 - 135)^2 +(139 - 135)^2 +(138 - 135)^2 +(127 - 135)^2]$

$\sigma^2 =\frac{1}{5}*[162]$

$\sigma^2 =32.4$

Solving (c): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

$\sigma = \sqrt {\sigma^2 }$

$\sigma = \sqrt {32.4}$

$\sigma = 5 .7$ --- approximately

Solving (d): With the stated condition, the standard deviation will remain unchanged.

Use scientific notation to estimate the number of inches in 1,225 miles. Include all calculations in your final answer. 1 inch ≈

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

7.763×10^7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

$(1225\,mi)\dfrac{1\,in}{1.578\cdot 10^{-5}\,mi}=\dfrac{12.25}{1.578}\cdot 10^{2-(-5)}\,in \approx 7.763\cdot 10^7\,in$

When writing 1225 in scientific notation, it is convenient to choose an exponent so that the division result comes out with the right scale factor. It is easy to see that 1.2 < 1.6, so use of numbers with exactly one digit to the left of the decimal point would result in a fraction as an answer. We want the answer to have 1 digit left of the decimal point, so by scaling the operands to be 12. and 1.6, we get that result. Of course, the powers of 10 are adjusted accordingly.

This scaling process only matters if you're computing the results by hand. Any calculator can properly keep track of the required exponents.

"Back in the day" when slide rules were the calculating tool of choice, the operands and answer to any multiplication or division problem were only shown as 3 (sometimes 4) significant digits. All of the power-of-ten scaling was done "by hand" (usually, mentally). That is, the division would be 1225/1578 ≈ 776 × some scale factor. This is where thinking of the numbers as 12.25/1.578 = 7.76 comes in handy.
