Answer:

c.

0.1824

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the decay factor is as follows;

= (1 - decrease percentage) × (1 - decrease percentage) × (1 - decrease percentage)

= (1 - 0.2) × (1 - 0.4) × (1 - 0.62)

= (0.8) × (0.6) × (0.38)

= 0.1824

hence, the decay factor is 0.1824

Therefore the option c is correct

I have a two digit number the sum of the digits is 12 the first digit is 4 Less Than 3 times the second what is my number​
nignag [31]

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first digit = x

Let the second digit =y

x + y = 12

x + 4 = 3*y

===========

From the second equation, we learn that x = 3y - 4

Put that into the first equation.

3y - 4 + y = 12          Combine the left side

4y - 4 = 12                Add 4 to both sides

4y = 16                     Divide by 4

4y/4 = 16/4        

y = 4  

=================

x + 4 = 12

x + 4 - 4 = 12-4

x = 8

So the number is 84

Solve for w<br>Simplify your answer as much as possible.<br>​
Vesnalui [34]

                5

Simplify   —

                 4

Equation at the end of step  2  :

            5        6

 (w -    —   ) -  —  = 0  

           4          7

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

            w           w • 4

    w =  —  =  —————

             1              4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

w • 4 - (5)     (4w - 5 )

———————————  =  ——————

     4                  4    

Equation at the end of step  3  :

(4w - 5)    6

 ———————— -  —  = 0  

    4           7

The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test scores for adults are normally distributed with a population mean of 100 and a population st
adell [148]

Answer: 0.7471

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test scores for adults are normally distributed with a population mean of \mu=100 and a population standard deviation of \sigma=15.

Sample size = 50

Using formula z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, the z-value corresponding to x=98 will be:-

z=\dfrac{98-100}{\dfrac{15}{\sqrt{50}}}\approx-0.94

Z-value corresponding to x=103 will be:-

z=\dfrac{103-100}{\dfrac{15}{\sqrt{50}}}\approx1.41

Using the standard normal distribution table for z-scores, we have

P-value = P(98

Hence, the  probability we could select a sample of 50 adults and find that the mean of this sample is between 98 and 103 = 0.7471
