Answer:

$y=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$6=2(y+2)$

In order to find the answer, we will rewrite the equation by switching the sides and then solve by dividing on both sides.

$6=2(y+2)$
$2\left(y+2\right)=6$
$\frac{2(y+2)}{2} =y+2$
$6\div2=3$
$y+2=3$
$2-2=0$
$3-2=1$
$y=1$

Hope this helps.

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

likoan [24]

Answer:

A) 3%

B) Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: $y=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

$f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x$

The base (b) is 1.03. As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

$\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100$

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%$

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%$

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100
b = 1.01
n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

$\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}$

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

$\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100$

$\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201$

$\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01$

$\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04$

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.

An entrepreneur faces many bureaucratic and legal hurdles when starting a new business. The World Bank collects information abou

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Rearranged data:

5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 12, 12, 13, 13, 15, 18, 18, 27, 28, 36, 48, 52, 60, 66, 94

Start time for Suriname = 694

Mean = ΣX / n

Mean = (567 + 694) / (24 + 1) = 1261 / 25 = 50.44

B.) median start Time for initial 24 values

0.5(n+1)th term

0.5(25) = 12.5th term

(13 + 13) / 2 = 13

C.) preferred measure of center for the distribution will be the median as it shapes well in the middle of the distribution. The mean is overestimated

d) Compute the quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3), and find the IQR for these data. Are there outliers in the time to start a business data set? If so, identify and name any outliers.

Using calculator :

Lower quartile Q1 --> 7

Median Q2 --> 13

Upper quartile Q3 --> 42

IQR = (Q3 - Q1) = 42 - 7 = 35

OUTLIER:

Lower bound : Q1 - 1.5(IQR) ; 7 - 1.5(35) = - 45.5

Upper bound : Q3 + 1.5(IQR) = 42 + 1.5(35) = 94.5

Outlier : values below - 45.5 and above 94.5

Hence, Surimanes start time is the only Outlier.

Standard deviation for 24 countries :

Standard deviation = sqrt[Σ(X - mean)^2 / (N - 1)]

Usibg calculator :

Standard deviation for the 24 countries is 23.83
