Answer:

The area after 13 years will be 1141 km2

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled with an exponencial equation:

A = Ao * (1+r)^t

Where A is the Area after t years, Ao is the inicial area and r is the rate that the area changes.

For our problem, we have that Ao = 2300, r = -5,25% = -0.0525 and t = 13.

Then, we can find the area after 13 years:

A = 2300 * (1 - 0.0525)^13

A = 2300 * (0.9475)^13 = 1140.93 km2

Rounding to the nearest square kilometer, we have A = 1141 km2

The given equation has been solved in the table. In which step was the subtraction property of equality applied?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtraction property of equality tells that whatever subtracted from one side of the equation must be subtracted from the other side.

If x + 2 = 2,

By the property of subtraction of equality,

x + 2 - 2 = 2 - 2

x = 0

But in the given question,

\frac{x}{2}-7=-7

\frac{x}{2}-7+7=-7+7

shows the addition property of equality in step (2)

Therefore, subtraction property of equality was not applied.

Option (D) will be the answer.

The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting individuals randomly from a pool of stu
tatiyna

Correct question is ;

The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting eight individuals randomly from a pool of nine students and eleven faculty.​ (a) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ students? (b) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty? (c) What is the probability of selecting a jury of six students and two ​faculty?

Answer:

A) 7.144 × 10^(-5)

B) 0.00131

C) 0.0367

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Number of students = 9

Number of faculty members = 11

A) Now, the number of ways we can select eight students from 9 =

C(9, 8) = 9!/(8! × 1!) = 9

Also, number of ways of selecting 8 individuals out of the total of 20 = C(20,8) = 20!/(8! × 12!) = 125970

Thus, probability of selecting a jury of all​ students = 9/125970 = 7.144 × 10^(-5)

B) P(selecting a jury of all faculty) = (number of ways to choose 8 faculty out of 11 faculty)/(Total number of ways to choose 8 individuals out of 20 individuals) = [C(11,8)]/[C(20,8)] = (11!/(8! × 3!))/125970 = 0.00131

C) P(selecting a jury of six students and two faculty) = ((number of ways to choose 6 students out of 9 students) × (number of ways to choose 2 faculty out of 11 faculty))/(Total number of ways to choose 8 individuals out of 20 individuals) = [(C(9,6) × C(11,2)]/125970

This gives;

(84 × 55)/125970 = 0.0367

A department store has daily mean sales of​ $28,372.72. The standard deviation of sales is​ $2000. On​ Tuesday, the store sold​
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Tuesday was a significantly good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

A score is said to be significantly high if it has a z-score higher than 1.64, that is, it is at least in the 95th percentile.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 28372.72, \sigma = 2000

On​ Tuesday, the store sold​ $34,885.21 worth of goods. Find​ Tuesday's ​z-score.

This is Z when X = 34885.21

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{34885.21 - 28372.72}{2000}

Z = 3.26

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Was Tuesday a significantly good​ day?

A z-score of 3.26 has a pvalue of 0.9994. So only 1-0.9994 = 0.0006 = 0.06% of the day are better than Tuesday.

So yes, Tuesday was a significantly good day.

Suppose we want to choose 2 objects, without replacement, from the 5 objects pencil, eraser, desk, chair, and lamp. (a)How many
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) 20 ways

b) 10 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order of selection/choice matters, we use Permutations to find the number of ways and if the order of selection/choice does not matter, we use Combinations to find the number of ways.

Part a)

We have to chose 2 objects from a group of 5 objects and order of choice matters. This is a problem of permutations, so we have to find 5P2

General formula of permutations of n objects taken r at time is:

nPr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Using the value of n=5 and r=2, we get:

5P2=\frac{5!}{(5-2)!} =20

Therefore, we can choose 2 objects from a group of 5 given objects if the order of choice matters.

Part b)

Order of choice does not matter in this case, so we will use combinations to find the number of ways of choosing 2 objects from a group of 5 objects which is represented by 5C2.

The general formula of combinations of n objects taken r at a time is:

nCr=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Using the value of n=5 and r=2, we get:

5C2=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} =10

Therefore, we can choose 2 objects from a group of 5 given objects if the order of choice does not matters.
