I remember I had a lot of trouble with this in geometry! This is a matter of ratios and division. You can grab a calculator and divide 19,880 by 14,000 (because the building increased, and you’re seeing how much bigger it is than the original). We can also do it by hand...

19880/14000
1988/1400 (divide by 10)
994/700 (divide by 2)
142/100 (divide by 7)
142% is your answer. The 100% implies you made another building, so the real answer is that the building size increased by 42% (since you already have the 14000 sqft building)

42%

Jim buys a calculator that is marked 30% off. If he paid $35, what was the original price?
liraira [26]

Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

He got 30% off

The discount is .30x

Subtract this from the original price to get the price he paid

x - .30x = price he paid

.70x = price he paid

.70x = 35

Divide each side  by .7

.70x/.7 = 35/.7

x=50

Help??I have 4 questions and im confused on all of them

So you you are trying to find the area of sphere so you would use this formula
A=4•3.14•r^2

And you already know that the radius is 6 so you would go ahead and plug in the numbers
A=4•3.14•4^2

4^2 is 16 so your final equation would be
A=4•3.14•16

And your answer is

=452.39

A production process is checked periodically by a quality control inspector. the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 f
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Population Mean = 2.0

Population Standard deviation = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 finished products and computes the sample mean product weight.

Also, test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the values are over 2.1 pounds and 5% are under 1.9 pounds.

Now, mean of the population is given the average of two extreme boundaries because mean lies exactly in the middle of the distribution.

So,   Mean, \mu = \frac{1.9+2.1}{2} = 2.0

Therefore, mean for the population of products produced with this process is 2.

Since, we are given that 5% of the values are under 1.9 pounds so we will calculate the z score value corresponding to a probability of 5% i.e.

             z = -1.6449 {from z % table}

We know that z formula is given by ;  

                Z = \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

              -1.6449 = \frac{1.9 - 2.0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }     ⇒  \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = \frac{-0.1}{-1.6449}  

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.0608 * \sqrt{30}  {as sample size is given 30}

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.03 .

Therefore, Standard deviation for the population of products produced with this process is 0.0333.
