Last year Diana sold 800 necklaces. This year she sold 1080 necklaces. what is the percentage increase of necklaces she sold?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13.5% is the increase in percentage

Answer 2

Answer:

74%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer, divide 800 by 1080, and you will get a decimal. That decimal is 0.74074074074. Then, move the decimal point two times two the right, so you should have 074.074074074. Ignore everything after the decimal point as well as the 0 before the decimal point, and if done correctly, it should be 74%.

So, the final answer would be 74%.

Hope this helped!

The probability tree is;

                            0.95        [tex](+)[/tex]

                             0.85         [tex](-)[/tex]        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

10% of the rugby team members use steroids

so Probability of using steroid; P( use steroid ) = 10% = 0.10

Probability of not using steroid; P( no steroid use ) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

Since the test show positive for an athlete who uses steroids, 95% of the time.

Probability of using steroids and testing positive = 95% = 0.95

Probability of using steroids and testing Negative = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Also from the test, 15% of all steroid-free individuals also test positive.

so

Probability of not using steroids and testing positive = 15% = 0.15

Probability of not using steroids and testing negative = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

To set up the probability tree, Let;

[tex](S)[/tex] represent steroid use

[tex](S_{no})[/tex] represent no steroid use

[tex](+)[/tex] represent test positive

[tex](-)[/tex] represent test negative

so we have;

n a history class there are 88 history majors and 88 non-history majors. 44 students are randomly selected to present a topic. What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors

Answers

Answer:

0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The students are chosen without replacement from the sample, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question. We are working also with a sample with more than 10 history majors and 10 non-history majors, which mean that the normal approximation can be used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Approximation:

We have to use the mean and the standard deviation of the hypergeometric distribution, that is:

[tex]\mu = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}}[/tex]

In this question:

88 + 88 = 176 students, which means that [tex]N = 176[/tex]

88 non-history majors, which means that [tex]k = 88[/tex]

44 students are selected, which means that [tex]n = 44[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = \frac{44*88}{176} = 22[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{44*88*(176-88)*(176-44)}{176^2(175-1)}} = 2.88[/tex]

What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors?

Using continuity correction, as the hypergeometric distribution is discrete and the normal is continuous, this is [tex]P(X \geq 22 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 21.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 21.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{21.5 - 22}{2.88}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4325

1 - 0.4325 = 0.5675

0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.

Find the final amount of money in an account if $7, 200 is deposited at 2.5 % interest compounded
quarterly (every 3 months) and the money is left for 9 years.
The final amount is $
Round answer to 2 decimal places

Answers

The final amount is $7,615.27

A = P(1 + r/n)^t

Where,

A = Final amount

P = principal = $7, 200

r = interest rate = 2.5% = 0.025

n = number of periods = 4

t = time = 9 years

A = P(1 + r/n)^t

= 7,200(1 + 0.025/4)^9

= 7,200(1 + 0.00625)^9

= 7,200(1.00625)^9

= 7,200(1.0576769512798)

(ii) If surpluses of 5 units of agricultural products and 195 units of textiles are desired, find the gross production of each industry

Answers

Leontief input output model (technology matrix) is an economic model that shows the quantitative relationship and sectorial interdependency in a national economy

The responses with  regards to the question are;

(i) The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;

[tex]\mathbf{ A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]

(ii) The required gross production of each industry to meet the desired surplus are;

50 units of agriculture and 250 units of textile

The reason the above values are correct is as follows:

(i) The given parameters are;

The industries in the economy = Agricultural industry and textile industry

Units of agricultural input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.4

Units of textile input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.1

Units of agricultural input required per unit of textile output = 0.1

Units of textile input required per unit of textile output = 0.2

Let X represent agriculture, and let Y represent textile, we have;

[tex]Agric \ for \ agric = \dfrac{0.4 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ agric \ produced} \times X \ Agric \ produced= 0.4 \cdot X[/tex]

[tex]Agric \ for \ textile = \dfrac{0.1 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ textile \ produced} \times Y \ textile \ produced= 0.1 \cdot Y[/tex]

We also have;

Textile for agriculture = 0.1·X

Textile for textile = 0.2·Y

Therefore;

X = 0.4·X + 0.1·Y

Y = 0.1·X + 0.2·Y

Therefore;

The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;

[tex]\mathbf{Technology \ matrix, A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]

(ii)  Let P represent the production vector, and let d represent the demand vector, we have;

[tex]P = \left[\begin{array}{c}X \\Y\end{array}\right][/tex], [tex]d = \left[\begin{array}{c}5 \\195\end{array}\right][/tex]

P = A·P + d

P - A·P = d

Therefore;

[tex]P = \mathbf{ \dfrac{d}{(I - A)}}[/tex]

Where I = The 2 by 2 identity matrix

We get;

[tex]I - A =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&&0\\&&\\0&&1\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] = \mathbf{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.6&&-0.1\\&&\\-0.1&&0.8\end{array}\right]}[/tex]

With the use of a graphing calculator, we have;

[tex]P =\left[\begin{array}{c}X \\Y\end{array}\right] = \dfrac{\left[\begin{array}{c}5 \\195\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.6&&-0.1\\&&\\-0.1&&0.8\end{array}\right]} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}50\\\\\ 250\end{array}\right][/tex]

The 4th of an AP is 15 and the 9th term is 35. find the 15th term​

Answers

Consecutive terms in this sequence are separated by a constant c, so if the 4th term is 15, then the next terms would be

5th: 15 + c

6th: (15 + c) + c = 15 + 2c

7th: (15 + 2c) + c = 15 + 3c

and so on. More generally, since any given number in the sequence depends on the number that came before it, we can write the n-th term in terms of the 4th term,

n-th: 15 + (n - 4) c

Then the 9th term in the sequence is

15 + (9 - 4) c = 35

and solving for c gives

15 + 5c = 35   ==>   5c = 20   ==>   c = 4

Then the 15th term would be

15 + (15 - 4)×4 = 15 + 11×4 = 15 + 44 = 59

Answer:

8. -2a+14

9. w=3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8.

The distributive property states that we can multiply each component in the parenthesis separately by the number on the outside, and then add that up to get our final answer.

For -2(a-7), this means that we can multiply -2 by a and then -2 by -7 (as 2 is the number on the outside, and a and -7 are the components in the parenthesis), add them up, and get our answer. This can be expressed as

-2 * a + (-2) * (-7) = final answer

= -2 * a + 14

We know that -2 * -7 = 14 because 2 * 7 = 14, and the two negatives in multiplication cancel each other out

9.

Using the subtraction property of equality, we can isolate the variable (w) and its coefficient (-2/3) by subtracting 5, resulting in

(-2/3)w = 4-5 = -1

Next, we can use the multiplication property of equality to isolate the w. To isolate the w, we can multiply its coefficient by its reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over. For (-2/3), its reciprocal is (-3/2), flipping the 2 and 3. We can multiply both sides by (-3/2) to get

w = (-3/2)

To check this, we can plug (-3/2) for w in our original equation, so

(-2/3) * (-3/2) + 5 = 4

-1 + 5 = 4

4 = 4

C)

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} k - 3&= \ln \frac{1}{2} - 3 \\ &\approx-3.6931 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle h(x) = 20e^{kx} \text{ where } k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

A)

Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find k.

h(1) = 20 means that h(x) = 20 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (20) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]1= e^k[/tex]

Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:

[tex]k=0[/tex]

B)

Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2k + 1.

Likewise, this means that h(x) = 40 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (40) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle 2 = e^{k}[/tex]

We can take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln 2 = \underbrace{k\ln e}_{\ln a^b = b\ln a}[/tex]

By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln 2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]2k+1 = 2\ln 2+ 1 \approx 2.3863[/tex]

C)

Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find k - 3.

Again, this meas that h(x) = 10 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (10) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplfy:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = e^k[/tex]

Take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln \frac{1}{2} = k\ln e[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k - 3 = \ln\frac{1}{2} - 3\approx-3.6931[/tex]

Slope: 1

Y-intercept: (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is when the slope reaches the y-axis line. In this case, it is given to us. Anything that is formed like this: (0, y) is the y-intercept.

Y intercept: (0, 3)

For slope, you can use the formula rise over run. [tex]\frac{Rise}{Run}[/tex]

From the picture, I have drawn the rise over run, which is [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex], which is also 1.

Slope: 1

Hope this helped.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 15

a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3

a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3

...

It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.

Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)

= 15·(1-3¹²)/(1-3)

= 15·(-531,441)/(-2)

= 3,985,800

You can run at a speed of 4 mph and swim at a speed of 2 mph and are located on the shore, 6 miles east of an island that is 1 mile north of the shoreline. How far (in mi) should you run west to minimize the time needed to reach the island

Answer:

  5.423 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37

  d = √(x² -12x +37)

The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...

  time = distance/speed

  total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)

__

The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.

  t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0

Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...

  √(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0

Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...

  4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37

  3x² -36x +107 = 0

The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...

  x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi

You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.

A graphing calculator solves this nicely. The attached graph shows the time is a minimum when you run 5.423 miles.
