The error is:

She incorrectly broke up 2 and two-fifths.

Option A is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to describes Catron’s error?

The steps are:

Step 1: (Negative 9) (2 + two-fifths)

Step 2: (Negative 9) (Negative 2) + (negative 9) (two-fifths)

Step 3: Negative 18 + (negative 9) (two-fifths)

Step 4: (negative 27) (two-fifths)

Solution: Negative StartFraction 54 over 5 EndFraction = Negative 10 and four-fifths

The error is:

She incorrectly broke up 2 and two-fifths.

Option A is correct option.

<u>Solving </u>

Solving the equation by removing the error:

Step 1: (Negative 9) (2 + two-fifths)

taking LCM of 2 and two-fifths (2/5)

Step 2: (Negative 9) (twelve-fifths)

Step 3: (Negative 9*twelve)-fifths

Step 4: Negative one hundred and eight- fifths

Solution: Negative StartFraction -108 over 5 EndFraction = Negative one hundred and eight- fifths

From a recent company survey, it is known that the proportion of employees older than 55 and considering retirement is 8%. For a

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: 2.845

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the standard deviation is given by :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{n(1-p)p}$ , where p is the probability of getting success in each trial and n is the sample size.

Given : Sample size : n=110

The proportion of employees older than 55 and considering retirement : p=0.08

Then, the standard deviation is given by :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{110(1-0.08)0.08}\approx2.845347079\approx2.845$

Hence, the standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportions is 2.845.

The population of a small town is decreasing exponentially at a rate of 14.3% each year. The current population is 9,400 people.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

After 2.9 years the town's tax status will change

The towns tax status change within the next 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The question below is

Will the towns tax status change within the next 3 years ?

Let

y -----> the population of a small town

t ----> the number of years

we have a exponential function of the form

$y=a(b)^{t}$

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

In this problem

$a=9,400\ people$

$b=100\%-14.3\%=85.7\%=85.7/100=0.857$

substitute

$y=9,400(0.857)^{t}$

Remember that

The town's tax status will change once the population is below 6,000 people

The inequality that represent this situation is

$9,400(0.857)^{t}< 6,000$

Solve for t

$(0.857)^{t}< 6,000/9,400$

Apply log both sides

$(t)log(0.857)< log(6,000/9,400)$

$-0.067t< -0.1950$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$0.067t > 0.1950$

$t > 2.9\ years$

After 2.9 years the town's tax status will change

therefore

The answer is

Yes, the towns tax status change within the next 3 years
