Answer:

if 2,000 is the original rent and it increases by 20% the new rent is $2,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because 10% of $2,000 is 200 so 20% is $400

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees. If we want to be 90% c

siniylev [52]

Answer:

19 beers must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees.

This means that $\sigma = 0.26$

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample?

This is n for which M = 0.1. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1 = 1.645\frac{0.26}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.26$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1})^2$

$n = 18.3$

Rounding up:

19 beers must be sampled.

1. Which would be a more helpful for solving the system: adding the two equations or subtracting

ira [324]

Answer:

1) Subtracting one from the other

2) x = 0.375 and y = 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1 :

$\frac{2x+1}{2y}=7\\\\$

Equation 2:

$\frac{6x-1}{2y}=5$

To solve these equations by the Elimination method we multiply equation 1 with 6 and multiply equation 2 with 2 so now,

$\frac{2x+1}{2y} =7\\\\2x+1=14y\\\\Multiplying\ Equation\ 1\ with\ 6\\\\12x+6=84y$

Now for the second equation:

$\frac{6x-1}{2y}=5\\\\6x-1=10y\\\\Multiplying\ equation\ 2\ with\ 2 \\\\12x-2=20y$

Now subtracting equation 2 from equation 1

$12x+6=84y\\\\12x-2=20y\\\\Subtracting\ leads\ to\\12x-12x+6-(-2)=84y-20y\\0+8=64y\\8=64y\\8/64=y\\0.125=y$

now insert this value of y into any equation

lets insert it into equation 1

$\frac{2x+1}{2y} =7\\\\2x+1=14y\\2x+1=14(0.125)\\2x+1=1.75\\2x=1.75-1\\2x=0.75\\x=0.75/2\\x-0.375$

A car travels 2 1/3 miles in 3 1/2 minutes at a constant speed. Write an equation to represent the car travels in miles and minu

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

d = 0.666t , where d is in miles and t is in minutes.

d = 39.94h, where d is in miles and h is in hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A car travels $2\frac{1}{3} = 2.33$ miles in $3\frac{1}{2} = 3.5$ minutes at a constant speed.

Let the relation between the distance (d) traveled by car in miles after traveling t minutes is d = kt ......... (1)

Now, putting d = 2.33 miles and t = 3.5 minutes in the above equation we get,

2.33 = 3.5k

⇒ k = 0.666 (Approx.)

So, the equation (1) becomes d = 0.666t. (Answer)

Let us assume that the relation between the distance (D) traveled by car in miles after traveling h hours is d = Kh ............ (2)

Now, putting D = 2.33 miles and T = 3.5/60 = 0.058 hours in the above equation, we get

2.33 = 0.058K

⇒ K = 39.94

So, the equation (2) we get, d = 39.94h (Answer)
