Answer:

40% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this remember the formula \frac{discount amount}{original price} = \frac{percent discount}{100}

To find the discount amount subtract $36 from $60 which is $24.

\frac{24}{60} =  \frac{x}{100} next you have to cross multiply

24*100 = 2400 and 60*x = 60x

Now you have the equation 2400 = 60x

Divide both sides by 60 to isolate the variable

x = 40

Evaluate the piecewise function for the given values.
adoni [48]

Answer:

f(-3) = -2

f(-2.6) = -2

f(0.6) = 2.4

f(4.5) = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(Whole question:

Evaluate the piecewise function for the given values.

Find f(-3), f(-2,6), f(0.6), and f(4.5) for f(x)={ -2 If x ≤ 0 4x. If 0 <x <1. x + 4. If x ≥ 1)

As the piecewise function shows, the function f(x) has the value of -2 for values of x lesser or equal than 0, has the value of 4x if the value of x is between 0 and 1, and has the value of x+4 for values of x greater or equal than 1.

So, for f(-3), the value of x is lesser than 0, so we have that f(-3) = -2

For f(-2.6), the value of x is lesser than 0, so we have that f(-3) = -2

For f(0.6), the value of x is between 0 and 1, so we have that f(0.6) = 4*0.6 = 2.4

For f(4.5), the value of x is greater than 1, so we have that f(4.5) = 4.5 + 4 = 8.5

Sorry again but i'm having trouble on this one
Lisa [10]

Answer:

m∠PNO = 60°

m∠O = 33°

Step-by-step explanation:

∡NPO is 87° because it's a vertical angle with the 87° angle

3) ∡PNO is supplementary to the 120° angle (they must add to 180°)

4) m∠O = 180 - (60 + 87) = 33

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, the head circumference for boys at birth is normally di
Elena L [17]

Answer:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1

And for the case of Sue we got:

z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X\sim N(\mu = 34.5, \sigma=1.3)

Similarly we can define the random variable Y as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for Y is given by:

Y\sim N(\mu = 33.9, \sigma=1.2)

And we know that Eddie was born with 33.2 cm and Sue with 32.7 cm for the head circumference . Since we are interested to determine which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex, we can use the z score formula given by this formula:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1

And for the case of Sue we got:

z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.
