What’s the value of 27.43? Write answer in a fraction
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

As an improper fraction: 27 \frac{43}{100}

As a mixed fraction: \frac{2743}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number could be expressed as a fraction 27 is \frac{27}{1} and since 0.43 is forty-three hundredths we can express it as \frac{43}{100}.

To find the answer as a mixed fraction we have to put the whole number in the beginning and the fraction in the end. 27 \frac{43}{100}

As an improper fraction we have to add 27 / 1 + 43/100 = \frac{2743}{100}

Kyra has a rock collection. When she puts her rocks into 2 equal plies, there are no rocks left over. When she puts her rocks in
Nat2105 [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this description we need a number that can be divided by 2,3 and 4 since the amount of rocks can be described by a natural number. However if a number is divided by 4 it is divided by 2 as well since 2*2=4.

\frac{x}{4}  =  \alpha  \\  \frac{x}{2}  = 2 \alpha

If α is a natural number then 2*α is a natural number as well as the product of two natural numbers.

Which means that we need a number devided by 3 and 4.

The smallest number that fulfills this demand is 3*4=12.

Also any product of 12 with any natural number can be devided by 3, 4 and 2.

If the exercise asks for the numbers that are divided only by 2,3 and 4 these are:

{3}^{ \alpha }  \times 12 \: and \:  {4}^{ \alpha }  \times 12 \:  \\ where \:  \alpha  \: belongs \: to \: the \: set \: of \: all \: \\ natural \: numbers

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a study to determine the time needed to complete the short form. The Bureau surveys 200 people.
NISA [10]

Answer:

8.2-2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=6.86    

8.2+2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=9.54    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (6.86;9.54)    And the error is given by:

ME= 2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}} =1.338

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=8.2 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=2.2 represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

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

8.2-2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=6.86    

8.2+2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=9.54    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (6.86;9.54)    And the error is given by:

ME= 2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}} =1.338

You deposit $400 into a savings account that earns interest annually. The function g(x) = 400(1.05)x can be used to find the amo
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant percent rate of change in the case of a deposit of $400 into a savings account is compounded annually.  

With an example, what is compound interest?

When you add the interest you have already earned back into your principal balance, you are earning compound interest, which increases your profits.

Consider that you have $1,000 in a savings account earning 5% interest annually. If you made $50 in the first year, your new balance would be $1,050.

Principal - $400

rate of interest is compounded annually

g(x) =  400( 1.03)ˣ equation 1.

Formula used

A = P( 1 + r )ⁿ

here n = x

Solution:

Putting the value of n, and principal in the formula

A = P( 1 + r )ⁿ ................... equation 2

now comparing both equation 1 and equation 2,

400( 1.05)ˣ =  400( 1 + r )ˣ

( 1.05)ˣ = ( 1 + r  )ˣ

1.05 = 1 + r

r = 1.05 - 1

r = 0.05

r % = 0.05 × 100

r % = 5 %

thus, the constant percent rate of change =  5 %
