Answer:

3800

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

O - Original cost

N - New cost

c - change factor

Step 1:

Recognize that if something decreases by 19%, it is worth 19% less

This means that the new price, fractionally, is 100% - 19% = 81%

So we can use c as 0.81 (81/100)

Step 2:

Write an equation to represent what is happening

N = O * c

Step 3:

Sub in what we know

3078 = O * 0.81

Step 4:

Rearange and solve

O = 3078 / 0.81 = 3800

Integer

Whole

Real

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational: 

The square root of 4 is 2, which is an integer (number without decimals). A number is only irrational if it has endless decimals after it.

Integer:

A number without decimals

Whole:

A number without fractions; an integer.

Real: 

Real numbers include whole numbers, rational numbers and irrational numbers- pretty much any number you can think of. The only numbers that ARENT considered real are imaginary numbers like √-1 and infinity.

A survey of 90 men found that an average amount spent on St. Patrick's day of $55 with a standard deviation of $18. A similar su

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is 4.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for this test can be defined as follows:

H₀: Men do not spend more than women on St. Patrick's day, i.e. μ₁ = μ₂.

Hₐ: Men spend more than women on St. Patrick's day, i.e. μ₁ > μ₂.

The population standard deviations are not known.

So a t-distribution will be used to perform the test.

The test statistic for the test of difference between mean is:

$t=\frac{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}} }$

Given:

$\bar x_{1}=55\\s_{1}=18\\n_{1}=90\\\bar x_{1}=44\\s_{1}=16\\n_{1}=86$

Compute the value of the test statistic as follows:

$t=\frac{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}} }=\frac{55-44}{\sqrt{\frac{15^{2}}{90}+\frac{16^{2}}{86} }}=4.70$

Thus, the value of the test statistic is 4.70.

In the parallelogram DEFG, DH=x+1, HF=3y, GH=3x-4, and HE=5y+1. Find the values of x and y. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In parallelogram DEFG,

DH = x + 1

HF = 3y

GH = 3x - 4

and HE = 5y + 1

Solution: Since, DH,HF, GH and HE represents the diagonals of the parallelogram and we know that the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other, therefore

x+1=3y (1)

3x-4=5y+1 (2)

Multiply equation (1) with 3 and then subtract equation (2) from it, we get

3x+3-3x+4=9y-5y-1

7=4y-1

y=2

Substituting the value of y=2 in equation (1), we get

x+1=3(2)

x=5

Therefore, the value of x and y are 5 and 2 respectively.
