Why do you think gas stations often quote a price per gallon that ends in 9/10 of a cent? Do you think this is an appropriate us

The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price.

What is the interquartile for this set of data? 11,19,35,42,60,72,80,85,88
exis [7]

Answer:

55.5

Step-by-step explanation:

find the median - in this case it's 60

then group the upper and lower halves of the data:

(11, 19, 35, 42) 60 (72, 80, 85, 88)

now we find the medians of those sets:

35 + 19/2 = 54/2 =27

80 + 85/2 = 165/2 = 82.5

then subtract those two medians to find the interquartile:

82.5 - 27 = 55.5

Given right triangle QRS, what is the value of sin(30°)? StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 3 EndFraction One-half StartFrac
baherus [9]

Answer:

Option 2: \sin(30)=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

From the triangle shown below;

A triangle QRS with angle QRS = 90°, ∠QSR = 30°.

Side QR = 5, SQ = 10 and RS = 5√3

Now, we know from trigonometric ratio that,

\sin (A) = \frac{Opposite\ side}{Hypotenuse}

Here, opposite side of angle QSR is QR and Hypotenuse is the side opposite angle QRS which is SQ. Therefore,

\sin(\angle QSR)=\dfrac{QR}{SQ}\\\\\\\sin(30)=\dfrac{5}{10}\\\\\\\sin(30)=\dfrac{5}{2\times 5}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, the value of sine of 30° is one-half. So, second option is correct.

What is the period of the graph of y = 5 sin (pi x) + 3?
Natasha2012 [34]

Equate whats inside (arguments) \sin with base period of sine function 2\pi and solve for x to get period,

\pi x=2\pi\implies x=2

So the period of the graph of the given function is precisely 2.

Hope this helps :)
