To find percent error you use the following formula:
% Error =  \frac{final value - given value}{given value}
% error = (1.6 - 1.9)/1.9 * 100% = 15.79%

Answer:

a. The start-up cost for the teenagers company is $50

b. The number of mugs the teenager must sell to break even are 5 mugs or 25 mugs

c. The number of mugs that will give maximum profit is 15 mugs

d. The profit if she sells 10 mugs is $30

Step-by-step explanation:

The given profit function for selling <em>x</em> number of mugs is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

a. The start-up cost in dollars is given by the value of the profit function at the start, where, x = 0, as follows;

Start-up cost = f(0) = -0.4×0² + 12×0 - 50 = -50

The negative sign represents amount put in the business

The start-up cost = (The initial) $50 put into the business.

b. The break even point is the point where, the revenue and costs are equal

At break even point; Revenue = Cost

∴ Profit, at break even point, f(x) = Revenue - Cost = 0

From the profit function, we get;

At the break even point, f(x) = 0 = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

Dividing by -0.4 gives;

0/(-0.4) = 0 = (-0.4·x² + 12·x - 50)/(-0.4) = x² - 30 + 125

0 = x² - 30 + 125

∴ (x - 25)·(x - 5) = 0

The number of mugs the teenager must sell before she breaks even, x = 5 mugs or x = 25 mugs.

c. From the general form of a quadratic equation,  which is; y = a··x² + b·x + c, the formula for the x-values at the maximum point is; x = -b/(2·a)

Comparing the profit function to the general form of the quadratic equation we have at the maximum point;

x = -12/(2×(-0.4)) = 15

Therefore, the number of mugs that will give maximum profit, x = 15 mugs.

d. The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) is given as follows;

f(10) = -0.4 × 10² + 12 × 10 - 50 = 30

The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) = $30

There are 9,481 eligible voters in a precinct. 500 were selected at random and asked to indicate whether they planned to vote fo
maria [59]

Answer:

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

Of the 500 surveyed, 350 said they were going to vote for the Democratic incumbent.

This means that n = 500, \pi = \frac{350}{500} = 0.75

80% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.2, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9, so Z = 1.28.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.725

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.775

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

I'm assuming you're looking to find the expanded form of the number?

This number is in scientific notation. The easiest way to convert it to a normal number is to move the decimal place 14 to the right. I've attached a picture showing how to do this. You should get 630,000,000,000,000

There's a faster way to do this - notice that you need to move the decimal 14 to the right, and there's one number already after the decimal place. Therefore, 13 places will be filled with zeros. So, just write out 63 and add 13 zeros.

For more general help on scientific notation, check out these videos: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-exponents-radicals/pre-algebra-scientific-notation/v/scientific-notation-old

Hope that helps! Feel free to message me or leave a comment if I can clarify anything :)

the runner's time to complete the marathon is 45 minutes. The time to complete the last marathon was 49.5 minutes. What is the p
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

9.09%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percent decrease you have to use this equation:

Percent Decrease = \frac{Initial -New}{Initial} x 100

Initial = 49.5

New = 45

Plug in and solve:

PD = \frac{49.5-45}{49.5} x 100\\\\PD = \frac{4.5}{49.5} x 100 \\\\PD = 0.0909 x 100\\\\PD = 9.09

The percent decrease is 9.09%

<em>Hope this helps!!</em>
