18 is 65% of what number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

65% of 27.69 is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = Number x 100

Percent = 18 x 100

65 = 27.69

Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula

Step 1: If 65% of a number is 18, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.

18

65% = Y

100%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

65Y = 18 x 100

65Y = 1800

Y = 1800

100 = 27.69

Answer 2
I can use proportions to solve this problem. Firstly, we need to set up our first proportion. That will be 18/x. Then, our next proportion can be 65/100. We can then cross multiply 18*100 to give us 1800. Next, we divide by 65. This gives us 27.69. 65 percent of 27.69 is 18.

To find:

The graph of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+3}-2[/tex]

It can be written as:

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1-2(x+3)}{x+3}[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1-2x-6}{x+3}[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{-2x-5}{x+3}[/tex]

Putting [tex]x=0[/tex] to find the y-intercept.

[tex]f(0)=\dfrac{-2(0)-5}{(0)+3}[/tex]

[tex]f(0)=\dfrac{-5}{3}[/tex]

So, the y-intercept is [tex]\dfrac{-5}{3}[/tex].

Putting [tex]f(x)=0[/tex] to find the x-intercept.

[tex]0=\dfrac{-2x-5}{x+3}[/tex]

[tex]0=-2x-5[/tex]

[tex]2x=-5[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{-5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=-2.5[/tex]

So, the x-intercept is [tex]-2.5[/tex].

For vertical asymptote, equate the denominator and 0.

[tex]x+3=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-3[/tex]

So, the vertical asymptote is [tex]x=-3[/tex].

The degrees of numerator and denominator are equal, so the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of leading coefficients.

[tex]y=\dfrac{-2}{1}[/tex]

[tex]y=-2[/tex]

So, the horizontal asymptote is [tex]y=-2[/tex].

End behavior of the given function:

Answer:

Hence the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is [tex](79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,  

Point estimate = sample mean = [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 88.34  

sample standard deviation = s = 19.22  

sample size = n = 14  

Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 13

Hans rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.95, and there was an additional charge of 77 cents for each mile driven. Hans had to pay
$207,68 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answers

Answer: 249 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First write a function that represents the amount paid for renting a truck:

Set x as each mile driven.Set y as the total amount paid.$15.95 is the base fee paid no matter the mile, meaning the rent start at $15.95, not 0.

Function: y = mx + b

m = slope = amount paid for each mile driven = 77¢ = $0.77b = y-intercept = amount paid when 0 miles driven = base fee = $15.95

y = 0.77x + 15.95

He paid a total of $207.68, therefore y = 207.68:

207.68 = 0.77x + 15.95

Solve the equation for x:

207.68 - 15.95 = 0.77x

191.73 = 0.77x

x = 249 miles driven

A driver starts a trip with 30 gallons of gasoline in the tank of his car. The car
burns 4 gallons for every 80 miles. Assuming that the amount of gasoline in the tank decreases linearly, write a linear function that relates the number of gallons G left in the tank after a journey of "d" miles.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to look at this as something as basic as combining like terms. We know that the driver starts with 30 GALLONS of gas and loses x GALLONS while driving, giving us an equation that says

Gallons of gas used = Gallons in car - gallons used; in other words, if everything is in the same label, you can subtract. We start off with 30 gallons, thus:

Gallons of gas used = 30 G

That's a start, at least. Now we need to figure out how much is burned. Remember, in order to do any subtraction at all we have to have like labels, so we need what goes after that subtraction sign to also be a label in gallons, G. The driver burns 4 gallons per 80 miles times how many miles he drives, so the expression for that is

[tex]\frac{4G}{80mi}*dmi[/tex] and what happens here is that the label of miles cancels out, leaving us with just G, which is what we're after. The whole equation then is

[tex]G=30-\frac{4}{80}d[/tex], choice 1

A triangular patch of grass in a park is bordered by walking paths. The longest path bordering the patch of grass measures 110 feet. The smallest path bordering the patch of grass measures 55 feet. The smallest angle formed by the paths bordering the patch of grass measures 29º.
What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass? Round your answer to the nearest
degree. Show all your work.

Answers

Answer:

76 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture. Two of the sides are 110 feet and 55 feet. In a triangle, the smallest angle is opposite the smallest side and vice versa. Therefore, if I have my triangle arranged in the way shown, the smallest angle of 29 degrees will be opposite of the smallest side of 55 feet.

The law of sines states that a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC , with corresponding angles being opposite of its corresponding side. Therefore, we can say that

55 feet/ sin(29 degrees) = 110 / sin(largest angle).

If we say that the largest angle is equal to x, we can say

55 / sin(29°) = 110/sin(x)

multiply both sides by x to remove a denominator

55 * sin(x)/ sin(29°) = 110

multiply both sides by sin(29°) to remove the other denominator

55 * sin(x) = 110 * sin(29°)

divide both sides by 55 to isolate the sin(x)

sin(x) = 110 * sin(29°) / 55

For an angle, if sin(x) = y, we can say that arcsin(y) = x. Therefore, we can say

x = arcsin(110 * sin(29°)/55)

x ≈ 76 degrees

Find the value of y.

Answers

In the largest triangle, the missing side has length

√((11 + 5)² - x ²) = √(256 - x ²)

But it's also the hypotenuse of the triangle with side lengths 11 and y, so that its length can also be written as

√(11² + y ²) = √(121 + y ²)

so that

√(256 - x ²) = √(121 + y ²)

or, by taking the squares of both sides,

256 - x ² = 121 + y ²

y ² = 135 - x ²

In the smallest triangle, you have

5² + y ² = x ²   ==>   x ² = 25 + y ²

Substitute this into the previous equation and solve for y :

y ² = 135 - (25 + y ²)

y ² = 110 - y ²

2y ² = 110

y ² = 55

y = √55

3. 0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [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]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

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

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the  flight.

This means that [tex]p = 0.905[/tex]

Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets

This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]

Question 1:

Exactly, so we can use the P(X = x) formula, to find P(X = 180).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 180) = C_{200,180}.(0.905)^{180}.(0.095)^{20} = 0.0910[/tex]

0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.

2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.

Now we have to use the approximation.

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.905 = 181[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.905*0.095} = 4.15[/tex]

Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \leq 180 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 180.5)[/tex], which is the p-value of Z when X = 180.5. Thus

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

[tex]Z = \frac{180.5 - 181}{4.15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4522.

0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.

3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.

Complementary event with at most 180 passengers showing up, which means that the sum of these probabilities is 1. So

[tex]p + 0.4522 = 1[/tex]

[tex]p = 1 - 0.4522 = 0.5478[/tex]

0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.

VERTEX: (0.75,25)    

Step-by-step explanation:

the vertex will be at [-b/2a, f(-b/2a)]

−16x2 + 24x + 16

4(-4x^2 + 6x +4)

a = -4, b=6,c=4

-6/-8 = 3/4

f(3/4) = 25

A scientist has acid solutions with concentrations of 4% and 15%. He wants to mix some of each solution to get 44 milliliters of solution with a 12% concentration. How many milliliters of each solution does he need to mix together?​

Answers

Let x and y be the amounts (in mL) of the 4% and 15% solutions, respectively, that the scientist needs to use.

He wants to end up with a 44 mL solution, so

x + y = 44 mL

Each milliliter of 4% solution contains 0.04 mL of acid, while each mL of 15% contains 0.15 mL of acid. The resulting solution should have a concentration of 12%, so that each mL of it contains 0.12 mL of acid. Then the solution will contain

0.04x + 0.15y = 0.12 × (44 mL) = 5.28 mL

of acid.

Solve for x and y. In the first equation, we have y = 44 mL - x, and substituting into the second equation gives

0.04x + 0.15 (44 mL - x) = 5.28 mL

0.04x + 6.6 mL - 0.15x = 5.28 mL

1.32 mL = 0.19x

x ≈ 6.95 mL

==>   y ≈ 37.05 mL

Is this sequence arithmetic or geometric? How do you know?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1} 2*(-5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is of the form:

[tex]A_n = A_{n-1} + d[/tex]

While a geometric sequence is of the form:

[tex]A_n = A_{n-1}*r[/tex]

notice that first, we have a change of sign in our sequence, so we already can discard the arithmetic sequence.

In fact, the pattern is kinda easy to see.

The first term is:

A₁ = 2

the second term is:

A₂ = -10

notice that:

A₂/A₍ = r = -10/2 = -5

The third term is:

A₃ = 50

the quotient between the third term and the second term is:

A₃/A₂ = 50/-10 = -5

Whit this we can already conclude that the n-th term of our sequence will be:

[tex]A_n = A_{n-1}*(-5)[/tex]

Then the summation will be something like:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1} A_n = A_1 + A_2 + A_3 + ... = 2 - 10 + 50 - ...[/tex]

We can write:

[tex]A_n = A_{n-1}*(-5) = (A_{n-2}*(-5))*(-5)) = A_1*(-5)^{n-1} = 2*(-5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Then the summation is just:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1} 2*(-5)^{n-1}[/tex]
