Yes.

For example, the LCM of 12 and 36 is 36, because factoring these numbers gives

12 = 2^2 * 3

36 = 2^2 * 3^2

So, to match them, just multiply the twelve by 3, then they're both 36.

Answer:

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{S} \huge\mathfrak\purple{o} \huge\mathfrak\blue{l} \huge\mathfrak\red{u} \huge\mathfrak\green{t} \huge\mathfrak\pink{i}\huge\mathfrak\purple{o}\huge\mathfrak\red{n}\huge\mathfrak\orange{:}\$

Linear function :The characteristic property of linear functions is that when the input variable is changed, the change in the output is proportional to the change in the input. Linear functions are related to linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) Null and alternative hypothesis:

$H_0: \pi=0.1\\\\H_a:\pi>0.1$

b) A Type I error is made when a true null hypothesis is rejected. In this case, it would mean a conclusion that the proportion is significantly bigger than 10%, when in fact it is not.

c) The consequences would be that they would be more optimistic than they should about the result of the investment, expecting a proportion of students that is bigger than the true population proportion.

d) A Type II error is made when a false null hypothesis is failed to be rejected. This would mean that, although the proportion is significantly bigger than 10%, there is no enough evidence and it is concluded erroneously that the proportion is not significantly bigger than 10%

e) The consequences would be that the investment may not be made, even when the results would have been more positive than expected from the conclusion of the hypothesis test.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The hypothesis should be carried to test if the proportion of students that would eat there at least once a week is significantly higher than 10%.

Then, the alternative or spectulative hypothesis will state this claim: that the population proportion is significantly bigger than 10%.

On the contrary, the null hypothesis will state that this proportion is not significantly higher than 10%.

This can be written as:

$H_0: \pi=0.1\\\\H_a:\pi>0.1$

Solve the system of equations

Llana [10]

Because both answers equal y, we can set them equal to each other. So, -8x=-5x-9. Add five over to get -3x=-9. Divide and x=3. Then plug 3 in to solve for y. -8(3)=24. The ordered pair is (3,24).

What is 243.00 minus 15% discount?

balu736 [363]

100-15=85
Therefore 0.85 is the multiplier
So 243.00 times by 0.85 = 206.55
