Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x

(100-8.5)% of x = 33

91.5% of x = 33

\frac{91.5}{100}x=33\\\\x=33*\frac{100}{91.5}\\\\x=36.07

x= 36.1

A researcher in environmental science is conducting a study to investigate the impact of a particular herbicide on fish. He has
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The herbicide has no impact on fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental research includes to divide the concerned group 'fishes' here into 'treatment' & 'control' group, to study impact of a treatment. Hypothesis test the statistical significance of  propositions. Null hypothesis signifies no impact, alternate hypothesis signifies impact.

Let averages enzyme level of treatment & control be Xt & Xc

  • Null Hypothesis [H0] : Xt = Xc, or Xt - Xc = 0
  • Alternate Hypothesis [H1] : Xt ≠ Xc, or Xt - Xc ≠ 0

If hypothesis test suggests that there is no significant difference between treatment & control group enzyme level, so we reject H0 & accept H1. It implies that the herbicide has no significant impact on fishes enzymes.

A craft vendor must sell at least $300 worth of merchandise to make a profit. Scarves sell for $10 each and hats sell for $20 ea
valina [46]
There is a missing graph in the problem given. However, we can simply solve the equation using the given data.

Items to be sold: scarves and hats. Minimum of 20 items sold in all.
Scarves sell for 10 each and hats sell for 20 each. Must sell at least 300 worth of merchandise to make profit. 

Let s represent scarves and h represent hats.

10s + 20h <u>></u> 300
s + h <u>></u> 20

We use inequality because the problem states "at least". 

s + h = 20
10s + 20h = 300

s = 20 - h
10(20-h) + 20h = 300
200 - 10h + 20h = 300
10h = 300 - 200
10h = 100
h = 100/10
h = 10

s = 20 - h
s = 20 - 10
s = 10

s + h <u>></u> 20
10 + 10 <u>></u> 20

10s + 20h <u>></u> 300
10(10) + 20(10) <u>></u> 300
100 + 200 <u>></u> 300
