Answer:

3.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are solving the above question, using the simple interest Formula:

I = PRT

Where

I = Interest = $9

P = Principal = $150

R = Interest rate = ??

T = Time in years = 20 months

We convert this to years

12 months = 1 year

20 months = x

x = 20/12

x = 1.67 years

Hence, making R the subject of the formula

R = I/PT

R = 9/150 × 1.67

R = 9/250.5

R = 0.0359281437

Converting to percentage

R = 0.0359281437 × 100

R = 3.59281437%

R = 3.6 %

The simple interest rate she is earning is 3.6%

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation if necessary round to the nearest hundredth x^2+x-30=0
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

(x-5)(x+6)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

hehe i doing the smae unit rn.

if a=1 (which it does do ac factoring)

you need two numbers that multiply to -30 and add to 1. those numbers  are 5 and -6.

substitute 1x for -5x + 6x.

group the numbers into pairs and find their gcf's

x(x-5)    6(x-5)

since the parenthesis r the same yo only need one. Now you need to put x and 6 in a parenthesis.

FINAL: (x-5)(x+6) hope this helps

A fractions structure is that of:

count

size indicator of what you are counting

→

numerator

denominator

You can not directly add or subtract the counts (numerators) unless the size indicators (denominators) are the same.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider  

3

2

3

Write as  

3

+

2

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way something looks without changing its true value

An analyst from an energy research institute in California wishes to precisely estimate a 99% confidence interval of the average
Lena [83]

Answer:

190

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Confidence level = 99%

Therefore,

α = 1% = 0.01

[ from standard normal table ]

z-value for z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}= z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}= = 2.58

Margin of error, E = $0.06

Standard deviation, σ = $0.32

Now,

n = (\frac{z_{0.005}\sigma}{E})^2

Here,

n is the sample size (or the minimum number of gas stations  )

on substituting the respective values, we get

= (\frac{z_{0.005}\sigma}{E})^2

= (\frac{2.58\times0.32}{0.06})^2

= 13.76²

= 189.3376 ≈ 190

Hence,

minimum number of gas stations that she should include in her sample is 190
