The price of an item has risen to $136 today. Yesterday it was $80. Find the percentage increase.

Answers

Answer 1

well, the numeric difference will be 136 - 80 = 56, now, if we take 80 (original price) to be the 100%, what is 56 (the increase) in percentage off of it?

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 80&100\\ 56&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{80}{56}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{10}{7}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 10x=700\implies x = \cfrac{700}{10}\implies x = \stackrel{\%}{70}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Paired t test

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd > 0

Critical value = 3.499

Test statistic = 2.230

Reject H0 if test statistic > Critical value

Kindly check explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

110 90 120 98 100 100 90 110

124 100 102 120 110 110 123 120

The hypothesis :

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd > 0

Tcritical value, df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

Tcritical(0.01, 7) = 3.499

The difference, d = (-14,-10,18,-22,-10,-10,-33,-10)

The test statistic :

Xdbar / Sd/√n

The mean difference, Xdbar = Σx / n = - 11.375

The standard deviation of difference, Sd = 14.431

The test statistic :

-11.375 / (14.431/√8) ;

-11.375 / 5.102

= 2.230

Decison :

Reject H0 if test statistic > Critical value

Since ; 2.230 <3.499 ;

In a residual plot against x that does NOT suggest we should challenge the assumptions of our regression model, we would expect to see a _____. a. parabolic band of points b. band of points having a slope consistent with that of the regression equation c. horizontal band of points centered near 0 d. widening band of points

Answers

Answer:

In a residual plot against x that does NOT suggest we should challenge the assumptions of our regression model, we would expect to see a _____.

c. horizontal band of points centered near 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This residual graph or plot shows the residual values (or the difference between the observed y-value (from scatter plot) and the predicted y-value (from regression equation line) on the vertical axis and displays the independent variable on the horizontal axis.  A linear regression model becomes appropriate for a dataset when the points are randomly dispersed around the horizontal axis near 0; otherwise, a nonlinear model becomes more appropriate.

solve for x : 2(x^2+9)-4=0

Answers

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 2 and get 2x^2+18-4=0

combine like terms

2x^2+14=0

subtract 14

2x^2=-14

there can't be a square root of a negative number so there's no solution

Answer:

x = ±i sqrt(7)

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x^2+9)-4=0

Add 4 to each side

2(x^2+9)-4+4=0+4

2(x^2+9)=4

Divide by 2

2(x^2+9)/2=4/2

(x^2+9)=2

Subtract 9 from each side

x^2 +9-9 = 2-9

x^2 = -7

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) =sqrt(-7)

x = sqrt(-1 *7)

x = ±i sqrt(7)

Write the piecewise defined function for the total cost of parking in the garage. That is, state the function C(x), where x is the number of hours a car is parked in the garage.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]C(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4x &0 \le x \le 2& \\4 +2x &2 < x \le 6& \\16 &6<x\le 8& \end{array}\right[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for question

Required

The piece-wise function

From the attachment, we have:

(1) $4/hr for first 2 hours

This is represented as:

[tex]C(x) = 4x[/tex]

The domain is: [tex]0 \le x \le 2[/tex]

(2) $2/hr for next 4 hours

Here, we have:

[tex]Rate = 2[/tex]

The total cost in the first 2 hours is:

[tex]C(x) = 4x[/tex]

[tex]C(2) = 4*2 = 8[/tex]

So, this function is represented as:

[tex]C(x) = C(2) + Rate * (Time - 2)[/tex] ----- 2 represents the first 2 hours

So, we have:

[tex]C(x) = C(2) + Rate * (Time - 2)[/tex]

[tex]C(x) =8 + 2(x - 2)[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]C(x) =8 + 2x - 4[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]C(x) =8 - 4+ 2x[/tex]

[tex]C(x) =4+ 2x[/tex]

The domain is:

[tex]2 < x \le 2 + 4[/tex]

[tex]2 <x \le 6[/tex]

(3) 0 charges for the last 2 hours

The maximum charge from (2) is:

[tex]C(x) =4+ 2x[/tex]

[tex]C(6) = 4 + 2*6[/tex]

[tex]C(6) = 4 + 12[/tex]

[tex]C(6) = 16[/tex]

Since there will be no additional charges, then:

[tex]C(x) = 16[/tex]

And the domain is:

[tex]6 < x \le 8[/tex] --- 8 represents the limit

So, we have:

[tex]C(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4x &0 \le x \le 2& \\4 +2x &2 < x \le 6& \\16 &6<x\le 8& \end{array}\right[/tex]

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

A = pi ( 6)^2

A = 36 pi

Using 3.14 for an approximation for pi

A = 36(3.14) = 113.04

tickets  ( 2 at 10.95 each) = 2* 10.95 = 21.90

popcorn ( 1 at 7.50)         = 7.50

Total cost before discount

21.90+7.50=29.40

subtract the discount

29.40-4.00 =25.40

Answer:

Yep! That's correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Marilyn and her sister are each getting a ticket that cost $10.95. They are also getting a $7.50 popcorn to share. Let's add those values up.

(10.95 * 2) + 7.50 {Multiply 10.95 by 2 to get 21.90.}

21.90 + 7.50 {Add 7.50 to 21.90 to get 29.40}

$29.40 (without the credit) in toal

A credit on a movie reward card functions as a discount, so what we need to do next is subtract 4 from 29.40. That will get us $25.40 as the total cost.
