A local Barnes and noble bookstore ordered 80 books but received 24. What percentage was missing?

1 answer:

6 0

Well, the local Barnes and Noble Bookstore ordered 80 books but received 24. How we should get the percentage of what's missing is to first, subtract 80 to 24. That should give you 56. Then, how you find the percentage is dividing, but you will get a decimal. So you divide 56 and 80. 56/80 should get you 0.70.
Another way to do that is to put a variable in it.
{80/100} * x = 56
4x/5 = 56
4x = 56*5
4x = 280
x = 280/4
=70
I rather prefer this way, but it's up to you :) I hoped this helped.

Answer:

a) 25

b) 67

c) 97

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample. In this problem, $\sigma = 0.25$

(a) The desired margin of error is $0.10.

This is n when M = 0.1. So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1 = 1.96*\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.25$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{19.6*0.25}{0.1}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{19.6*0.25}{0.1})^{2}$

$n = 24.01$

Rounding up to the nearest whole number, 25.

(b) The desired margin of error is $0.06.

This is n when M = 0.06. So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.06 = 1.96*\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.06\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.25$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{19.6*0.25}{0.06}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{19.6*0.25}{0.06})^{2}$

$n = 66.7$

Rounding up, 67

(c) The desired margin of error is $0.05.

This is n when M = 0.05. So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.05 = 1.96*\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.25$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{19.6*0.25}{0.05}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{19.6*0.25}{0.05})^{2}$

$n = 96.04$

Rounding up, 97

Write an equation perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 5 through the point (6, -5). State your answer as y=mx+b.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

y=(-1/3) x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is perpendicular to it has a slope that is an opposite reciprocal, which in this case is -1/3. Now you use point slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1) that would be y+5=-1/3(x-6). Distribute the -1/3 and get y+5= -1/3 x+ 2. Subtract 5 from both sides and get y=-1/3 x - 3

How many and what type of solutions does 5x^2-2x+6 have

just olya [345]

Answer:

two irrational solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the quadratic formula: (b ± √b²- 4ac)÷2a

a = 5, b = -2, c = 6

= [2 ± √(-2²)-4(5)(6)] ÷ 2(5)

= (2 ± √4-120) / 10

two complex solutions: (2+√-116)/10, (2-√-116)/10
