Well this is pretty simple. So the first thought is that the peanut butter would be 10$ and the jam would be 0.20$, however, the peanut butter would not be 10$ more. Instead, subtract the 10$ from the total, which gives you 0.20$, and then divide that by two. Now you have 0.10$ for each, along with another 10$ for the peanut butter. The peanut butter would be $10.10, and the jam would be 0.10$ (that's pretty cheap!).

The design for the palladium window shown includes a semicircular shape at the top. The bottom is formed by squares of equal siz

9966 [12]

Answer:

$(a)\ Area = 3765.32$

$(b)\ Area = 4773$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A_1 = 169in^2$ --- area of each square

$Shade = 4in$

See attachment for window

Solving (a): Area of the window

First, we calculate the dimension of each square

Let the length be L;

So:

$L^2 = A_1$

$L^2 = 169$

$L = \sqrt{169$

$L=13$

The length of two squares make up the radius of the semicircle.

So:

$r = 2 * L$

$r = 2*13$

$r = 26$

The window is made up of a larger square and a semi-circle

Next, calculate the area of the larger square.

16 small squares made up the larger square.

So, the area is:

$A_2 = 16 * 169$

$A_2 = 2704$

The area of the semicircle is:

$A_3 = \frac{\pi r^2}{2}$

$A_3 = \frac{3.14 * 26^2}{2}$

$A_3 = 1061.32$

So, the area of the window is:

$Area = A_2 + A_3$

$Area = 2704 + 1061.32$

$Area = 3765.32$

Solving (b): Area of the shade

The shade extends 4 inches beyond the window.

This means that;

The bottom length is now; Initial length + 8

And the height is: Initial height + 4

In (a), the length of each square is calculated as: 13in

4 squares make up the length and the height.

So, the new dimension is:

$Length = 4 * 13 + 8$

$Length = 60$

$Height = 4*13 + 4$

$Height = 56$

The area is:

$A_1 = 60 * 56 = 3360$

The radius of the semicircle becomes initial radius + 4

$r = 26 + 4 = 30$

The area is:

$A_2 = \frac{3.14 * 30^2}{2} = 1413$

The area of the shade is:

$Area = A_1 + A_2$

$Area = 3360 + 1413$

$Area = 4773$

A magazine article conducted a survey of 525 people in New York City and found that 30% of the population believe that the Yanke

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

In this case, the 30% represents the proportion of the sample. It is a statistic that can be used to estimate a parameter of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the 30% represents the proportion of this specific sample (survey taken by the magazine).

It is a statistic that can be used to estimate a parameter of the population. In this case, it may be used to estimate the true proportion of "people in New York who believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year".

If a new sample is taken, a new statistic will be calculated that may or may not be equal to 30%.
