Answer:
A - 3.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph
Where x= 0
Amount =$ 450
It shows that$450 is the capital
Then
When x= 3
Amount=$494.55
So interest generated within 3 years
= $494.55-$450
=$ 44.55
When x= 9
Amount = $583.65
So interest generated within 9 years
= $583.65-$450
=$ 133.65
PRT/10= Interest
450*x*3/100= 44.55
1350x= 4455
X= 4455/1350
X= 3.3
So the rate is =3.3%

There were 18,652 geese on a lake. What is this number rounded to the ten
thousands place?
Answer:
20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
To round a number to the nearest ten thousands place, we have to look at the thousand place and see whether it crosses the "hill" of 5 as it's digit.
The thousand digit is 8, so it will round UP, making 18,652 become 20,000.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{20,000}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Well the ten thousands number is 1 and the 1rst thousands place number is 8 so since 8 is more than 5 we have to round 1 UP to 2,
so the answer is 20,000.
Hope this helps :)

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

henry incorrectly said the rate 1/5 pound/ 1/20 quart can be written as the unit rate 1/100 pound per quart. What is the correct unit rate? What error did Henry likely make?
Answer:
4 pounds per quart
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry divided by 20 instead of multiplying by 20.
1/5 pound is the numerator and 1/20 quart is the denominator. To make the denominator equal to 1 quart, you need to multiply by 20.
So 1/5 x 20 = 4 pounds.
Literally, a unit rate means a rate for one.
The unit rate is 4 pounds per quartHenry used the wrong arithmetic operatorThe rate is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{5}\ pound\ per\ \frac{1}{20}\ quart}[/tex]
Per means divide.
So, the expression becomes
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{5}\ pound\ \div \frac{1}{20}\ quart}[/tex]
Express as products
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{5}\ pound\ \times \frac{20}{1\ quart}}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{1}{1}\ pound\ \times \frac{4}{1\ quart}}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{4\ pound}{1\ quart}}[/tex]
So, the unit rate is 4 pounds per quart
Henry's error is that: He multiplied 1/5 by 1/20, instead of dividing 1/5 by 1/20

I need some help pls! I'm getting stuck!
Answer: 3 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two metals:
One that contains 20% nickel, let's call it metal A.
One that contains 80% nickel, let's call it metal B.
We have 6 pounds of metal B, in those 6 punds we have:
0.80*6lb = 4.8lb of nickel.
Now, if we add X pounds of metal A, then we will have:
X + 6lb in total weight.
4.8lb + 0.2*X of nickel.
And we want to have exactly 60% of nickel, so we must have that the quotient between the amount of nickel and the total weight is equal to 0.6
(4.8lb + 0.2*X)/(6lb + X) = 0.6
now we solve it for X:
(4.8lb + 0.2*X) = 0.6*(6lb + X) = 3.6lb + 0.6*X
4.8lb - 3.6lb = 0.6*X - 0.2*X
1.2lb = 0.4*X
1.2lb/0.4 = 3lb = X
We should use 3 pounds of the metal with 20% of nickel.
An economist is interested in studying the spending habits of consumers in a particular region. The population standard deviation is known to be $1,000. A random sample of 50 individuals resulted in an average expense of $15,000. What is the width of the 99% confidence interval for the mean of expense? a. 364.28 b. 728.55 c. 329.00 d. 657.99
Answer:
The width is [tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \% 1,000[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 50[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 15,000[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 99% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.01 }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]
Generally margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 364.9[/tex]
The width of the 99% confidence interval is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]w = 2 * E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = 2 * 364.9[/tex]
[tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]

The mean salary of federal government employees on the General Schedule is $59,593. The average salary of 30 state employees who do similar work is $58,800 with \sigmaσσ= $1500. At the 0.01 level of significance, can it be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees? What is the critical value? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.
Answer:
Yes it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
The critical value is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 58800[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \$ 1500[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu < \$ 59593[/tex]
The critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the normal distribution table is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu}{ \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{ 58800 - 59593 }{ \frac{ 1500 }{ \sqrt{30} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -2.896[/tex]
The p-value is obtained from the z-table
[tex]p-value = P(t < -2.896) = 0.0018898[/tex]
Since [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] , we reject the null hypothesis, hence it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees

Megan’s room is expanded so the width is 150% of 3 meters. What is the new width?
Work Shown:
The keyword "of" means "multiply".
150% = 150/100 = 1.5
150% of 3 = 1.5*3 = 4.5
The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.
Required percentage value = a
total value = b
Percentage = a/b x 100
100% = 3 meters
150% = 4.5 meters
The new width is 4.5 meters.
What is a percentage?The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.
Example:
Required percentage value = a
total value = b
Percentage = a/b x 100
Example:
50% = 50/100 = 1/2
25% = 25/100 = 1/4
20% = 20/100 = 1/5
10% = 10/100 = 1/10
We have,
Megan’s room is expanded so the width is 150% of 3 meters.
This means,
100% = 3 meters
Multiply 150/100 on both sides.
150% = 150/100 x 3
150% = 4.5 meters
Thus,
The new width is 4.5 meters.

A father is three times as old as his son. After fifteen years the father will be twice as old as his son's age at that time. Hence the father's present age is
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let present age of father=y
present age of son=x
then y=3x
after 15 years age of father=y+15
and age of son=x+15
∴y+15=2(x+15)
y+15=2x+30
y-2x=30-15
y-2x=15
∴3x-2x=15
x=15
y=3x=15×3=45
father's present age=45 years
A 14 sided die is rolled find the probability of rolling an odd number the set of equally likely outcomes is shown below
Answer:
Probability= 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A 14 sided die is rolled
Total number of occurrence= 14 numbers
Total odd numbers present
= 1,3,5,7,9,11,13
Total number of odd numvers present
= 7
Probability= number of required outcome/total possible outcome
Probability= 7/14
Probability= 0.5
Construct a polynomial function with the following properties: fifth degree, 4 is a zero of multiplicity 3, −4 is the only other zero, leading coefficient is 4. setup problem so I can solve, thanks!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
degree 5
4 is a zero of multiplicity 3 -> (x-4)^3 is a factor
-4 is the only other zero, so the multiplicity is 5-3=2 -> (x+4)^2 is a factor
leading coefficient is 4 so we can write
[tex]\boxed{4(x-4)^3(x+4)^2}[/tex]
If there is something that you do not understand or you are blocked somewhere let us know what / where.
Thank you.
A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green. The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The green die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 4. A die is selected at random and rolled four times. You are told that two rolls were 1's and two were 4's. Find the probability the die chosen was green.
Answer:
the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green.
The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The green die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 4.
From above, the probability of obtaining 4 in a single throw of a fair die is:
P (4 | red dice) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
P (4 | green dice) = [tex]\dfrac{3}{6}[/tex] =[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
A die is selected at random and rolled four times.
As the die is selected randomly; the probability of the first die must be equal to the probability of the second die = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the first dice can be calculated as:
= [tex]\begin {pmatrix} \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right \end {pmatrix} \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^4[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4[/tex]
= [tex]6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4[/tex]
= [tex](\dfrac{1}{6})^3[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{1}{216}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the second dice can be calculated as:
= [tex]\begin {pmatrix} \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right \end {pmatrix} \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^2 \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{3}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^2[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2[/tex]
= [tex]6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2[/tex]
= [tex]( \dfrac{1}{6}) \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{9}{216}[/tex]
∴
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both dies = P( two 1s and two 4s | first dice ) P( first dice ) + P( two 1s and two 4s | second dice ) P( second dice )
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = [tex]\dfrac{1}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{9}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = [tex]\dfrac{1}{432} + \dfrac{1}{48}[/tex]
The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = [tex]\dfrac{5}{216}[/tex]
By applying Bayes Theorem; the probability that the die was green can be calculated as:
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = The probability of two 1's and two 4's | second dice)P (second die) ÷ P(two 1's and two 4's in both die)
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = [tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{9}{216}}{\dfrac{5}{216}}[/tex]
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = [tex]\dfrac{0.5 \times 0.04166666667}{0.02314814815}[/tex]
P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = 0.9
Thus; the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9
