<span>PAPER MONEY.
As wealth increases, owning a large number of gold and silver coins becomes a security problem. As coins are portable, they are also easy to steal. The next step in the development of money was for people to leave their surplus gold and silver coins with a goldsmith who had a reputation for honesty and who operated premises which were secure. The goldsmith would give a receipt, which would entitle the owner to withdraw their coins when they needed them. This was the beginning of paper money.</span>

HELP ASAP 10 POINTS TO BRAINLIEST

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 2 adults and 2 children without the discount is

2 adults = 2 (55) = 110

2 children = 2 (45) = 90

Total cost = 110+90 = 200

The original price is 200 and the new price is 170

Percentage discount = (Original price - new price)/ original price * 100%

= (200-170)/200 * 100%

= 30/200 * 100%

= .15 * 100%

= 15%

Look online for the growth of the trunk of a tree. Estimate how much time does it take for a water oak to grow one inch in diame

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The trunk of a tree grows in two different ways, first in height and second in diameter.Usually tree grows one ring per year in diameter. So, counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree. Both height and diameter growth does not occur at the same rate. Tree grows more in height than in their diameter. Mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.

Water oak gains 24 inches in height every year and 1.5 inch growth in diameter annually, meaning if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly. So a water oak tree needs only 8 months to grow 1 inch in diameter.

Consider the question of whether the home team wins more than half of its games in the National Basketball Association. Suppose

spayn [35]

Answer:

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

The home team therefore wins 50% of its games

This means that $p = 0.5$

Determine the probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Sample of 80 means that $n = 80$ and, by the Central Limit Theorem:

$\mu = p = 0.65$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{80}} = 0.0559$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.65. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.65 - 0.5}{0.0559}$

$Z = 2.68$

$Z = 2.68$ has a pvalue of 0.9963

1 - 0.9963 = 0.0037

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

A scientist is studying the growth of a particular species of plant. He writes the following equation to show the height of the

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 16.13 = 12(1.03)ⁿ

1.344 = (1.03)ⁿ

ln(1.344) = n(ln(1.03))

n = (ln(1.344)) / ln(1.03)

n = 10.0062...

so a domain of 0 ≤ n ≤ 10 is reasonable

B) y-intercept is the height of the plant on day 0 which would be 12 cm

C) f(3) = 12(1.03)³ = 13.11 cm

average rate of change = Δh/Δn = (16.13 - 13.11) / (10 - 3) = 3.02 / 7

= 0.43 cm/day or average growth per day

Determine whether the equation represents a direct variation. If it does, find the constant of variation. 2y=5x+1

coldgirl [10]

It does represent a direct variation.

Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x

Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2 + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2
