Answer:

original cost of meal  = $15.80

Step-by-step explanation:

120% = $18.96 (divide both sides by 120)

1% = $0.158  (multiply both sides by 100)

100% = $15.80

hope this helps...

Bingel [31]

Answer:

  (a) {-3, 2}

  (b) {3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The high points are (-3, 3) and (2, 4).

The x-values at which the function has a local maximum are {-3, 2}.

The local maximum values are {3, 4}.

Your answer box probably doesn't want the curly brackets and maybe not the spaces, either. Those brackets are used to identify a <em>set</em> of values.

Bobby wants to go on a school trip that will cost him $250. He comes up with an equation that represents how much he needs to sa
monitta
Yes, Bobby will have enough money if he saves for 9 weeks. You can find this through either substituting w for 9 in the equation, or solving the equation itself. 

Substituting:

25(9)+30
Substitute w for 9. 

225+30
Simplify. 

225+30=255
Solve. 

255 is greater than 250, so yes, he will have enough money saved. 


Solving the equation:

25w+30=250
Original Equation

25w=220
Subtract 30 from both sides. 

w=8.8
Divide both sides by 25. 

The number of weeks he needs is 8.8. When rounding it up, you get 9.

• A researcher claims that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phone for most of their online browsing. In a rando
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

We failed to reject H₀

Z > -1.645

-1.84 > -1.645

We failed to reject H₀

p > α

0.03 > 0.01

We do not have significant evidence at a 1% significance level to claim that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phones for most of their online browsing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up hypotheses:

Null hypotheses = H₀: p = 0.40

Alternate hypotheses = H₁: p < 0.40

Determine the level of significance and Z-score:

Given level of significance = 1% = 0.01

Since it is a lower tailed test,

Z-score = -2.33 (lower tailed)

Determine type of test:

Since the alternate hypothesis states that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phone for most of their online browsing, therefore we will use a lower tailed test.

Select the test statistic:  

Since the sample size is quite large (n > 30) therefore, we will use Z-distribution.

Set up decision rule:

Since it is a lower tailed test, using a Z statistic at a significance level of 1%

We Reject H₀ if Z < -1.645

We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α

Compute the test statistic:

$ Z =  \frac{\hat{p} - p}{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }}  $

$ Z =  \frac{0.31 - 0.40}{ \sqrt{\frac{0.40(1-0.40)}{100} }}  $

$ Z =  \frac{- 0.09}{ 0.048989 }  $

Z = - 1.84

From the z-table, the p-value corresponding to the test statistic -1.84 is

p = 0.03288

Conclusion:

We failed to reject H₀

Z > -1.645

-1.84 > -1.645

We failed to reject H₀

p >  α

0.03 > 0.01

We do not have significant evidence at a 1% significance level to claim that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phones for most of their online browsing.
