Answer:

Correct I think

Step-by-step explanation:

9 is nearly half of 25. (12.5) Half is equal to 50%. 40 is close to 50 and 9 is close to 12.5. So, he is correct. I think, hope this helps.

Answer:

$60.79

Step-by-step explanation:

First take off the 30% from $78.95. That will leave you with $55.265.

Add 6% of $78.95 for sales tax (4.737) to the $55,265 = $60.002

Then add the 1% of $78.95 for local option tax (.7895) to the $60.002.

That gives you $60.7915   - round it to the nearest cent and it gives you

$60.79

In order to solve the following system of equations by addition, which of the
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given <u>system of equations</u>:

\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations <u>sum to zero</u>.  To do this, the chosen variable must have the <u>same coefficient</u>, but it should be <u>negative</u> in one equation and <u>positive</u> in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is <u>eliminated</u>.

<u>To eliminate the </u><u>variable y</u>:

Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21

Multiply the bottom equation by 2 to make the coefficient of the y variable -6:

\implies 2(3x-3y=15) \implies 6x-6y=30

Add the two equations together to <u>eliminate y</u>:

\begin{array}{l r r}& -12x+6y= &-21\\+ & 6x-6y= & 30\\\cline{1-3}& -6x\phantom{))))))} = & 9\end{array}

<u>Solve</u> for x:

\implies -6x=9

\implies x=-\dfrac{9}{6}=-\dfrac{3}{2}

<u>Substitute</u> the found value of x into one of the equations and <u>solve for y</u>:

\implies 3\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)-3y=15

\implies -\dfrac{9}{2}-3y=15

\implies -3y=\dfrac{39}{2}

\implies y=-\dfrac{39}{2 \cdot 3}

\implies y=-\dfrac{13}{2}

According to the empirical (69-95-99.7) rule, if a random variable z has a standard normal distribution, then approximately 95%
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Using z-scores, it is found that the value of z is z = 1.96.

-----------------------------

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula, which for a measure X, in a distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, is given by:  

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
  • Each z-score has an associated p-value, which is the percentile.

  • The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that the middle 95% is between the <u>2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile</u>.
  • The 2.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.025, thus Z = -1.96.
  • The 97.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.975, thus Z = 1.96.
  • Thus, the value of Z is 1.96.
