3. a trader sold an article at a discount of
18% for GHC828.00. If the article
was initially marked to gain 25%
profit, find the:
a) cost price of the article
b) discount allowed.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

GHC757.317

GHC181.756

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Discount on sale = 18%

Sale price at 18% discount = 828

828 = 100% - 18%

828 = 82%

The cost at 100% can be represented as :

828 = 0.82

x = 1

Cross multiply :

828 = 0.82x

x = 828 / 0.82

x = 1009.7560

The price 1009.7560 includes a marked gain of 25% ; Hence, cost price of the article is :

(100 - 25)% * 1009.7560

0.75 * 1009.7560

= GHC757.317

Discount allowed :

1009.7560 - 828

= GHC181.756

Find the inverse of the following function. Then prove they are inverses of one another.
f (x)= root 2x-1.

Answers

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{x^2+1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x)=\sqrt{2x-1}[/tex]

We can write it as

[tex]\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{2x-1}[/tex]

Express x in terms of y

[tex]\Rightarrow y^2=2x-1\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{y^2+1}{2}[/tex]

Replace y be x to get the inverse

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

To prove, it is inverse of f(x). [tex]f(f^{-1}(x))=x[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=\sqrt{2\times \dfrac{x^2+1}{2}-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=\sqrt{x^2+1-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=x[/tex]

So, they are inverse of each other.

Suppose that prices of a gallon of milk at various stores in one town have a mean of $3.91 with a standard deviation of $0.13. Using Chebyshev's Theorem, what is the minimum percentage of stores that sell a gallon of milk for between $3.65 and $4.17

Answers

Answer:

The minimum percentage of stores that sell a gallon of milk for between $3.65 and $4.17 is of 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].

In this question:

We have a mean of $3.91 and a standard deviation of $0.13.

Using Chebyshev's Theorem, what is the minimum percentage of stores that sell a gallon of milk for between $3.65 and $4.17?

3.65 = 3.91 - 2*0.13

4.17 = 3.91 + 2*0.13

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so, by the Chebyshev's Theorem, the minimum percentage of stores that sell a gallon of milk for between $3.65 and $4.17 is of 75%.

In a randomly selected sample of 100 students at a University, 81 of them had access to a computer at home.
a) Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all students who had use of a computer at home and give it in interval notation.
b) Give the value of the point estimate described in this scenario.
c) Give the value of the standard error for the point estimate.
d) Give the value of the margin of error if you were to calculate a 99% confidence interval.

Answers

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all students who had use of a computer at home and give it in interval notation is (0.709, 0.911).

b) 0.81

c) 0.039.

d) 0.101

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

In a randomly selected sample of 100 students at a University, 81 of them had access to a computer at home.

This means that [tex]n = 100, \pi = \frac{81}{100} = 0.81[/tex]

99% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.81 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.81*0.19}{100}} = 0.709[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.81 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.81*0.19}{100}} = 0.911[/tex]

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all students who had use of a computer at home and give it in interval notation is (0.709, 0.911).

b) Give the value of the point estimate described in this scenario.

Sample proportion of [tex]\pi = 0.81[/tex]

c) Give the value of the standard error for the point estimate.

This is:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.81*0.19}{100}} = 0.039[/tex]

The standard error is of 0.039.

d) Give the value of the margin of error if you were to calculate a 99% confidence interval.

This is:

[tex]M = zs = 2.575*0.039 = 0.101[/tex]

What is the measure of the smallest interior angle of the hexagon shown?

Answers

Answer:  C) 70 degrees

=========================================================

Explanation:

We have n = 6 sides, so the interior angles must add to 180(n-2) = 180(6-2) = 720 degrees

Lets add up the angles, set the sum equal to 720 and solve for x

x+2x+115+2x+115+2x = 720

7x+230 = 720

7x = 720-230

7x = 490

x = 490/7

x = 70

This makes angle 2x = 2*70 = 140 degrees

We see that x = 70 is the smallest angle, so that's why C is the answer.

What is parent function?

The parent function of a function is the simplest form of the function, which satisfies all the conditions of the given function.

Given that,

Parent function f(x) = 3/x,

And function g(x) = f(x + 2) - 4.

To find the graph of function g(x), first determine the value of function g(x),

Substitute x = x+2 in function f(x), to determine g(x),

g(x)  = 3/(x+2) -4

       = 3-4(x+2)/x+2

       = 3 - 4x - 8/(x + 2)

       = (-4x - 5)/(x+2)

Answers

Answer:

182

2.0239

3.97

(178, 186)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample mean, n = 250

Sample mean, xbar = 182

Sample standard deviation, s = 32

Point estimate for the mean ;

According to the central limit theorem ; for n > 30, the sample mean equal to the population mean.

Hence, point estimate of mean cholesterol level for men is 182

B.) The standard error = s/√n

s= 32 ; n = 250

Standard error = 32/√250 = 2.0239

C.) Margin of error :

TCritical * standard error

TCritical at 95% ; df =250 -1 = 249 = 1.96

1.969 * 2.0239 = 3.966 = 3.97

D.) The confidence interval :

Point estimate ± margin of error

182 ± 3.97

182 - 3.97 = 178.03

182 + 3.97 = 185.97
