Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

9.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Buying price of the part= $ 8.75

Selling price of the part= $ 9.98

sale tax= $0.40

Selling price before sale tax= $9.98-$ 0.40 = $ 9.58

Make-up amount charged= $9.58- $8.75 = $ 0.83

As a percentage= (0.83/ 8.75) ×100

=9.5%

What is the domain of the function f(x)=x−16? f(x)=x−16?
Damm [24]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x-16 is just a straight line with a slope of one at a y intercept of -16. Therefore, x can hit all numbers in the x axis making the domain x is in the element of all real numbers.

Find the confidence interval with a 90% level of confidence. In October 2010, Gallup Poll asked 510 randomly sampled adults the
ratelena [41]

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the percent of the population who consider the death penalty to be "fair" is [54.4% , 61.6%].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in October 2010, Gallup Poll asked 510 randomly sampled adults the question, "Generally speaking, do you believe the death penalty is applied fairly or unfairly in this country today?"

Of these, 58% answered "fairly", 36% said "unfairly" and 7% said they didn't know.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                              P.Q. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion who answered death penalty "fair" = 58%

           n = sample of adults = 510

           p = population percentage

<em>Here for constructing 90% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test for proportions.</em>

<u>So, 90% confidence interval for the population percentage, p is ;</u>

P(-1.645 < N(0,1) < 1.645) = 0.90  {As the critical value of z at 5% level

                                                   of significance are -1.645 & 1.645}  

P(-1.645 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.645) = 0.90

P( -1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < \hat p-p < 1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.90

P( \hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.90

<u>90% confidence interval for p</u> = [\hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ,\hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }]

             = [ 0.58-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{510} } } , 0.58+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{510} } } ]

             = [0.544 , 0.616]

Therefore, 90% confidence interval for the percent of the population who consider the death penalty to be "fair" is [54.4% , 61.6%].

What are the real and imaginary parts of z ?<br><br> z = 32 + 41.9i
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The real part is 32, while the imaginary part is 41.9

Step-by-step explanation:

z is a complex number. A complex number is made up of real and imaginary parts.

The real part is the number that stands alone, while the imaginary part is the number that is directly beside the i.

i is actually equal to \sqrt{-1}. There is no solution for that.

Therefore, for the given expression, the real part is 32, while the imaginary part is 41.9.

Note: the imaginary part does not contain i.

Identify the asymptotes and state the end behavior of the function f(x)=5x/x-25
AnnyKZ [126]

Using it's concepts, it is found that for the function f(x) = \frac{5x}{x - 25}:

  • The vertical asymptote of the function is x = 25.
  • The horizontal asymptote is y = 5. Hence the end behavior is that y \rightarrow 5 when x \rightarrow \infty.

<h3>What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>

  • The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
  • The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity. They also give the end behavior of a function.

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = \frac{5x}{x - 25}

For the vertical asymptote, it is given by:

x - 25 = 0 -> x = 25.

The horizontal asymptote is given by:

y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x - 25} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x} = 5
