Answer:

It should be -3.125%

Step-by-step explanation:

(124 - 128)/128 × 100

-4/128 × 100 = -3.125%

I believe that the percent decrease is 5% maybe? I hope this is correct.

The radius of a semicircle is 4 miles. What is the semicircle's area?
adell [148]

Answer:

8\pi miles or 25.133 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

your radius is 4 miles.

The area of a circle is A= \pi r^{2}

Therefore, the area of this circle is 4^{2} \pi, or 16\pi

Half of this area, because what you're looking for is a semi-circle, is:

8\pi (exact) or 25.133 (rounded) miles.

A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 260 square feet. The fence along three sides is to be made of material t
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle = 9.58 feet and width = 27.14 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular area is = x feet

and the width of the area = y feet

Area of the rectangle = xy square feet

Or xy = 260

y = \frac{260}{x} -------(1)

Cost to fence the three sides = $3 per foot

Therefore cost to fence one length and two width of the rectangular area

= 3(x + 2y)

Similarly cost to fence the fourth side = $14 per foot

So, the cost of the remaining length = 14x

Total cost to fence = 3(x + 2y) + 14x

Cost (C) = 3(x + 2y) + 14x

C = 3x + 6y + 14x

  = 17x + 6y

From equation (1)

C = 17x+\frac{260\times 6}{x}

Now we take the derivative,

C' = 17 - \frac{1560}{x^{2} }

To minimize the cost of fencing,

C' = 0

17 - \frac{1560}{x^{2} } = 0

\frac{1560}{x^{2} } = 17

x^{2} =\frac{1560}{17}

x=\sqrt{\frac{1560}{17} }

x = 9.58 foot

and y = \frac{260}{9.58}

y = 27.14 foot

Find the slope of the line that passes through K(-4,4), L(5,4)
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The slope is 0, or it is a zero slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y coordinate is 4 throughout, and if it were the x coordinate that stayed the same for both points, it would be a undefined slope.

aev [14]

Answer:

1. M=108

2. μ=110

3. In the explanation.

4. Test statistic t = -1.05

5. P-value = 0.1597

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete: to solve this problem, we need the sample information: size, mean and standard deviation.

We will assume a sample size of 10 matches, a sample mean of 108 points and a sample standard deviation of 6 points.

1. The mean points is the sample points and has a value of 108 points.

2. The null hypothesis is H0: μ=110, meaning that the mean score is not significantly less from 110 points.

3. This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the mean score is significantly less than 110.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=110\\\\H_a:\mu< 110

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=10.

The sample mean is M=108.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=6.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{10}}=1.9

4. Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{108-110}{1.9}=\dfrac{-2}{1.9}=-1.05

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=10-1=9

5. This test is a left-tailed test, with 9 degrees of freedom and t=-1.05, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=P(t

As the P-value (0.1597) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the mean score is significantly less than 110.
