Answer:

the number is 4  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number be n

given that

n - 4

Now it is doubled i.e. 2(n -4)

So, the equation is

2(n - 4) = n - 4

2n - 8 = n - 4

n = 4

hence, the number is 4

If you go out to eat with 3 friends and your meal was $72.50, there is 6.75% sales tax
netineya [11]

After the tax and the tip are counted, we conclude that each friend must pay $30.

<h3>How much should each person pay?</h3>

We know that the meal cost is $72.50.

Now, there is a 6.75% sales tax and a 15% tip on the waiter (we assume that the tip is based on the total meal cost, after the tax is applied).

Then the total meal cost is:

C = $72.50*( 1 + 6.75%/100%) = $72.50*(1 + 0.0675) = $77.39

Now we also need to add the tip, which is a 15% of that, so the total cost with the tip included is:

C' = $77.39*(1 + 15%/100%) = $88.998 = $90

(Where we rounded up).

Then, if there are 3 friends, each one must pay:

$90/3 = $30

Each friend must pay $30.

2. P337. 23. A large box contains 10,000 ball bearings. A random sample of 120 is chosen. The sample mean diameter is 10 mm, and
Rashid [163]

Answer:

B is True

A, C. D are false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 120

Mean diameter, m = 10

Standard deviation, s = 0.24

Confidence level, Zcritical ; Z0.05/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96

The confidence interval represents how the true mean value compares to a set of values around the mean computed from a set of sample drawn from the population.

The population here is N = 10000

To obtain

Confidence interval (C. I) :

Mean ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.24/sqrt(120)

Confidence interval for the 10,000 ball bearing :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120)

Hence. The confidence interval defined as :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120) is the 95% confidence interval for the mean diameter of the 10,000 bearings in the box.

The sum of three numbers is 100. The second number is 2 times the third. The third number is 8 less than the first. What are the
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:x+y+z=100(let x ,y,z represent the first second and third numbers respectively)

Therefore,y=2z

z=x-8

y=2x-16

substituting the values of x,y and z into the question,we have

x+(2x-16)+(x-8)=100

Simplifying,we have

4x-24=100

adding 24 to both sides of the equation,

4x=100+24

4x=124

dividing both sides of the equation by the co-efficient of x,we have

4x/4=124/4

4.31=124

therefore,x=31.

2. Un auto viaja a 60 km/h y se detiene a los 2 segundos. qué distancia recorrió en el
posledela

Se calcula que la aceleración es - 8,35 m/s.

<h3 /><h3>¿Qué es la aceleración?</h3>

Ahora sabemos lo siguiente de la pregunta;

Velocidad inicial (u) = 60 km/h o 16,7 m/s

Tiempo empleado (t) = 2 s

Dado que;

v = tu + en

v = 0 m/s porque el carro se detenía

tu = -en

a = -(u/t)

 a= -1(6,7 m/s/2 s)

a =- 8,35 m/s

La aceleración es negativa porque la velocidad disminuye con el tiempo.
