The correct answer is A. Number of hours worked

Explanation:

In the equation presented, the number of hours worked is the only factor that varies, it is expected the plumber has to work a different number of hours depending on each situation and this affects the final cost as the number of hours is multiplied by $25 (cost of one hour). On the other hand, factors such as the house call charge or the price of an hour for labor are fixed and do not change.

Moreover, in equations, the factor that changes and can affect others is known as the independent variable. This means the number of hours can be classified as the independent variable because this is not fixed and affect other variables including the total cost.

18% of what number is 7.2?
RUDIKE [14]
18% of 40 is 7.2

Change the percentage (18%) into a decimal by dividing it over 100:

18/100 = 0.18

Divide 7.2 by the decimal (0.18):

7.2 / 0.18 = 40

Find the area A of the polygon with the given vertices.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A = 35 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate the distance between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Length of the segment between A(2, 2) and B(9, 2) = \sqrt{(9-2)^2+(2-2)^2}

                                                                                     = 7 units

Length of the segment between B(9, 2) and C(9, -3) = \sqrt{(9-9)^2+(2+3)^2}

                                                                                       = 5 units

Length of the segment between C(9, -3) and D(2, -3) = \sqrt{(9-2)^2+(-3+3)^2}

                                                                                        = 7 units

Length of the segment between A(2, 2) and D(2, -3) = \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(2+3)^2}

                                                                                       = 5 units

Therefore, given polygon is a rectangle.

Area of the rectangle = length × width

                                    = 7 × 5

                                    = 35 square units

If f(x) = 2(x - 1) and g(x) =-2x^2<br> find (fºg)(-4)
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

- 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate g(- 4) then substitute the value obtained into f(x) , that is

g(- 4) = - 2(- 4)² = - 2 × 16 = - 32, then

f(- 32) = 2(- 32 - 1) = 2 × - 33 = - 66

The principal randomly selected six students to take an aptitude test. their scores were: 81.4 78.6 71.3 77.8 76.9 77.7 determin
Firdavs [7]
The confidence interval is 77.28\pm 2.23.

We first find the mean.  Add together all of the data points and divide by 6, the number of data points; the mean is 77.28.

Next we find the standard deviation.  Find the difference between each data point and the mean; square it; find the sum; divide by the number of data points; take the square root.  The standard deviation is 3.32.

To find the margin of error, we calculate the z-score associated with this level of confidence.  100-90 = 10% = 0.1; 0.1/2 = 0.05; 1-0.05 = 0.95.  Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is between two scores, 1.64 and 1.65; we will use 1.645.

The margin of error is given by
z * (σ/√n) = 1.645*(3.32/√6) = 2.23.

Thus the confidence interval is 77.28 +/ 2.23.
