<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The reason is that
If we multiply 
by its conjugate 
We obtain;
This is difference of two squares so we obtain;
This further gives us,
Since the , we substite to get;
The 
is now eliminated and we get,
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is A. 16.5%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly and to calculate the trend:
2006 2007 Trend
Top Coats 297 223 -24.92%
Parkas 210 210 + 0%
Jackets 213 285 +33.80%
Raincoats 137 259 +89.05
Trench coats 103 127 +23.30%
Total 960 1,104 +15%
2. If the trend shown in these graphs stays constant, what percent of the market will parkas occupy in 2008?
Let's calculate the percent of the market occupied by parkas.
In 2006 = 210/960 = 21.88%
In 2007 = 210/1,104 = 19.02%
In 2008 = 210/1,270 = 16.54% (210 + 0 = 210; 1,104 + 15% = 1,270)
<u>The correct answer is A. 16.5%</u>
Answer:
0.514
Step-by-step Explantion:
Denominator = 500 = 2^2 * 5^3
257/500 = 257/2^2*5^3 = 2*257/2*2^2*5^3 = 514/2^3*5^3 = 514/(2*5)^3 = 514/10^3 = 0.514
99.7% encompasses about 3 standard deviations either side of the mean.
82 ±3*2 = (76, 88)
About 99.7% of the values lie between 76 and 88.
