Answer:

2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn a repeating decimal to a fraction:

1) Multiply by the number of digits repeating to the power of 10. In this case, there are two digits repeating.

x=0.1818...

100x=18.1818...

2) subtract x

99x=18

3) divide by 99

x=18/99

4) simplify

x=2/11

Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.

sattari [20]

Answer:

Solutions: (2,10), (4,5)

Not solutions: (1,12), (6,10), (12,8), (18,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of packages of pasta and y be the number of jars of pasta sauce. If pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package, then x packages of pasta cost $x and weigh x pounds. If pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar, then y jars cost $3y and weigh 1.5y pounds.

1. Tyler has $36, then

$x+3y\le 36.$

2. Tyler can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack, then

$x+1.5y\le 20.$

You get the following system of inequalities:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+3y\le 36\\ x+1.5y\le 20\end{array}\right.$

Now substitute the coordinates of each point:

(1,12):

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}1+3\cdot 12=37> 36\\ 1+1.5\cdot 12=19\le 20\end{array}\right.$

False, because first inequality doesn't hold.

(2,10):

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2+3\cdot 10=32\le 36\\ 2+1.5\cdot 10=17\le 20\end{array}\right.$

True, both inequalities hold.

(4,5):

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}4+3\cdot 5=19\le 36\\ 4+1.5\cdot 5=11.5\le 20\end{array}\right.$

True, both inequalities hold.

(6,10):

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}6+3\cdot 10=36\le 36\\ 6+1.5\cdot 10=21> 20\end{array}\right.$

False, because secondt inequality doesn't hold.

(12,8):

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}12+3\cdot 8=36\le 36\\ 12+1.5\cdot 8=24> 20\end{array}\right.$

False, because second inequality doesn't hold.

(18,6):

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}18+3\cdot 6=36\le 36\\ 18+1.5\cdot 6=27> 20\end{array}\right.$

False, because second inequality doesn't hold.

Suppose a baker claims that the average bread height is more than 15cm. Several of this customers do not believe him. To persuad

Answer:

$17-2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=15.641$

$17+2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=18.359$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (15.641;18.359)

And since the lower limit for the confidence interval is higher than 15 we can conclude that at 5% of significance the true mean is higher than 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=17$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.262$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$17-2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=15.641$

$17+2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=18.359$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (15.641;18.359)

And since the lower limit for the confidence interval is higher than 15 we can conclude that at 5% of significance the true mean is higher than 15 cm

The sales tax in Mansfield is 8.25% on anything purchased. What is the percent of the original price you will pay? Write your an

Fynjy0 [20]

If the tax was 10%, then you’d end up paying the original 100% plus the additional 10% tax, so you’d pay 110% of the original price.

In your example, it’s the same, except you have 8.25% tax, so you’d pay 100%+8,25% or 108.25% of the original price.
That’s stated as a percent.

To convert a percent to a decimal, you divide by 100:
108.25 ÷ 100 = 1.0825

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you have to know the place value of the smallest place. In this case, the 5 is in the ten thousandths place.
10825/10000

You can always double check that fraction on a calculator.

Answer:

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can ignore the 3 and 6 because this has no y value change(rise over run)

This is a straight horizontal line so the equation is y=4.
