Hello there! :)

The Distributive property states:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

So, we know what a is. It's 5.

b=3

c=0.4

5(3+0.4)

5*3+5*0.4

15+0.2

15.2

Hope it helps!

The measure of an angle is 63°.

Irina-Kira [14]

A complementary angle is an angle that adds up to 90 degree each and every time. So, therefore the correct formula to use is 90-63=27. Now, you have your answer and can check it twice if you'd like by the formula. Again your answer is 27.

Out of seniors at a local high school, 60% went on the senior trip. At the hotel , one room was reserved for every 4 students .

sweet [91]

Answer:

<u>Number of rooms reserved for the students are - 90 .</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly ,

As we know 60% of the 600 students went on the trip,

Then ,

Number of students went on the trip = 60% of 600

= $\frac{60}{100}\times600$

= 360

Now ,

Given - One room is reserved for 4 students ,

Therefore , Number of rooms for 360 students = $\frac{360}{4}$

= 90

<u>Hence , the answer is 90 rooms reserved for the students.</u>

Solve the system using elimination.<br> 2x + 18y = -9<br> 4x + 18y = -27

Elan Coil [88]

First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.

-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18

Then, we combine the two equations.

-4x + 4x = 0

18y - 36y = -18y

-27 + 18 = -9

Our new equation is -18y = -9.

Now, divide both sides by -18.

-18y / -18 = y

-9/ -18 = 1/2

y = 1/2

We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.

Let's use 2x + 18y = -9

Plug in y.

2x + 18(1/2) = -9

2x + 9 = -9

Then, subtract 9 from both sides.

2x = -18

Divide by 2.

2x/2 = x

-18/2 = -9

x = -9

Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.

2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9

-18 + 9 = -9

Therefore, the values of x and y does work.

x = -9

y = 1/2

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower bound of the 99% confidence interval is given by:

d. 68.39%.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 99% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.99$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.99}{2} = 0.995$ , so the critical value is z = 2.575.
