<span>As of January 8, 2015, the U.S. is $18.1 trillion in debt. (Source: National Priorities Project)

1 Trillion 

= 1 Thousand Billion

= 1,000,000,000,000

= 10</span>¹²
<span>
---------------------------

U.S National debt currently stands at:

$ 18.1 x 10</span><span>¹²
</span><span>
*What information would be lost? Well firstly the 0's. The 0's put the size of the number into perspective. The word "trillion" would also be taken out of the picture, once again altering the perspective of the number.

Personally I'd prefer to hear "18.1 Trillion Dollars". Sounds more interesting.

Games Galore Super Store buys the latest video game at a wholesale price of $30.00. The markup rate at Game's Galore Super Store
marishachu [46]

Answer:

<h2>$42</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Markup is the difference between a product's selling price and cost as a percentage of the cost.

For example, if a product sells for $125 and costs $100, the additional price increase is ($125 – $100) / $100) x 100 = 25%.

Given data

firstly let us solve for 40% of $30

=40/100*30

=0.4*30

=$12

therefore the sale price will be the markup rate plus the initial price

<em>Hence the you will have to pay 12+30=$42</em>

The length of the rectangle below is (2x-3) and the width is (x+7). Find the area of the rectangle in terms of x.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

area = 2x² - 17x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle is:

area = (width*length)

area = (x+7)*(2x-3)

        = x*2x + x*-3 + 7*2x + 7*-3

        = 2x² - 3x - 14x - 21

        = 2x² - 17x - 21

A researcher collated data on Americans’ leisure time activities. She found the mean number of hours spent watching television e
ikadub [295]

The value of the z statistic for the considered data is given by: Option A: -3.87 approximately.

<h3>How to find the z score (z statistic) for the sample mean?</h3>

If we're given that:

  • Sample mean = \overline{x}
  • Sample size = n
  • Population mean = \mu
  • Sample standard deviation = s

Then, we get:

z = \dfrac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}

If the sample standard deviation is not  given, then we can estimate it(in some cases) by:

s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

where \sigmapopulation standard deviation

For this case, we're specified that:

  • Sample mean = \overline{x} = 2.3
  • Sample size = n = 15
  • Population mean = \mu  = 2.7
  • Population standard deviation = \sigma = 0.4

Thus, the value of the z-statistic is evaluated as:

z = \dfrac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.3- 2.7}{0.4/\sqrt{15}} \approx -3.87

Thus, the value of the z statistic for the considered data is given by: Option A: -3.87 approximately.

heights of statistics students were obtained by a teacher as part of an experiment conducted for the class. The last digit of th
hammer [34]

Answer:

1) B. The height appear to be reported because there are disproportionately more 0s and 5s.

2) A. They are likely not very accurate because they appear to be reported.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution table is shown below:

Last Digit           Frequency

     0                          9

     1                           1

     2                          1

     3                          3

     4                          1

     5                         11

     6                          1

     7                          0

     8                          3

     9                          1

1. Based on the distribution table, we see a very disproportionate distribution. There is a high frequency of 0's and 5's. This lays credence to the heights being reported rather than measured. As such, option B is the correct answer

<u>B. The height appear to be reported because there are disproportionately more 0s and 5s</u>.

2. Since the heights were reported and not measured, they are most certainly not accurate. The conclusion is that the result is not accurate. As such, option A is the correct answer

<u>A. They are likely not very accurate because they appear to be reported</u>.
