1 guest = 1/5
16 guests = 1/5 * 16

Multiply 1/5 * 16:

That equals 16/5.

Simplify 16/5:

That equals 3 1/5.

Hope this helped☺1

kumpel [21]

Answer:

I am guessing about 150 - 200 students did not buy a yearbook.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's assume that there are 1,000 or so students in the school. 856 would be a little over 4/5 of 1,000 just as 8 would be 4/5 of 10.

Consider the graph of the line y = x – 4 and the point (−4, 2).

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

a. The slope of a line parallel to the given line is 1

b. A point on the line parallel to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is (1,7)

c. The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is -1

d. A point on the line perpendicular to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is (3,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

a. For the line $y = x - 4$

You can identify that:

$m=1$

By definition, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Then, the slope of a line parallel to the given line is:

$m=1$

b. The equation of the line in Point-slope form is:

$y -y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

Where m is the slope and ( $x_1,y_1$ ) is a point of the line.

Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:

$y -2 = (x +4)$

Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":

For $x=1$ :

$y -2 = (1 +4)$

$y= 5+2$

$y= 7$

Then, you get the point (1,7)

c. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, then the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is:

$m=-\frac{1}{1}\\\\m=-1$

d. Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:

$y -2 = -1(x +4)$

$y -2 = -(x +4)$

Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":

For $x=3$ :

$y -2 = -(3 +4)$

$y= -7+2$

$y= -5$

Then, you get the point (3,-5)

Mr. and mrs. lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500. if they have 18% of this amount saved for a down payment, how much h

Vesnalui [34]

Option d is the correct answer. $38,430.00 is the amount saved for a down payment given that Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500 and they have 18% of this amount saved for the down payment. This can be obtained by using percentage formula.

<h3>How much have they saved?</h3>

The percentage of a number can be obtained using percentage formula,

If P% of X is Y then it can be denoted using the formula of percentage as,

⇒ P% of X = Y

⇒ P% × X = Y (where P% is P/100)

Here in the question it is given that,

Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500

They have 18% of this amount saved for a down payment

We have to find the amount they saved for the down payment.

Given that the total amount = $213,500

Percentage they are saving = 18%

The amount they saved for the down payment,

18% of the total amount = 18% of $213,500

Using the percentage formula we get,

18% of $213,500 = 18% × $213,500

18% of $213,500 = 18/100 × $213,500

18% of $213,500 = $ 38,430.00

Hence Option d is the correct answer. $38,430.00 is the amount saved for a down payment given that Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500 and they have 18% of this amount saved for the down payment.

The dwarves of the Grey Mountains wish to conduct a survey of their pick-axes in order to construct a 99% confidence interval ab

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

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

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

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

For this problem, we have that:

$\pi = 0.25$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

What minimum sample size would be necessary in order ensure a margin of error of 10 percentage points (or less) if they use the prior estimate that 25 percent of the pick-axes are in need of repair?

This minimum sample size is n.

n is found when $M = 0.1$

So

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

$0.1 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{n}}$

$0.1\sqrt{n} = 2.575{0.25*0.75}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575{0.25*0.75}}{0.1}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575{0.25*0.75}}{0.1})^{2}$

$n = 124.32$

Rounding up

The minimum sample size needed is 125.
