New value =

16,870 + Percentage increase =

16,870 + (3% × 16,870) =

16,870 + 3% × 16,870 =

(1 + 3%) × 16,870 =

(100% + 3%) × 16,870 =

103% × 16,870 =

103 ÷ 100 × 16,870 =

103 × 16,870 ÷ 100 =

1,737,610 ÷ 100 =

17,376.1

Rounded to 2 DP: 17376.10

13 times 4 is 52
9 times 4 is 36 plus the 20 it takes for reservation
So the maximum amount would be 4

For a polygon to be convex means that all of its interior angles are less than 180 degrees. Prove that for all integers n ≥ 3, t

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let K(n) be the sum of the interior angles in any n-sided convex polygon which is exactly 180(n −2)

degrees.

CASE: n = 3. A 3-sided polygon is a triangle, whose interior angles were shown always to sum to be 180 degree

INDUCTION HYPOTHESIS: Suppose that K(b) holds for some b ≥ 3. Which means that the interior angles in any b-sided convex

polygon is exactly 180(n −2) degrees.

INDUCTION STEP: We need to show that K(n is greater than or equals to 3) . That is, the interior angles of any b+1-sided convex polygon

is exactly 180(b−2) = 180(b −1) degrees,

Let X be any (b+1)-vertex convex polygon, say with successive vertices x1, x2,..., xb+

Now Y is also a convex polygon , so by the induction hypothesis K(b), the sum of the interior

angles of Y is 180(k −2).

Now let T be the triangle with vertices xk , xb+1, x1. The sum of the interior angles in X is the sum of those

in Y plus the sum of those in T .

So the sum of the interior angles in X is

180(b −2)+180 = 180((b +1)−2) = 180(b −1).

Since X was arbitrary, we conclude that the sum of the interior angles of any (b +1)-sided convex polygon

is 180((b−2)+1) = 180(b−1). That is, P(b +1) holds.

And which means that n is greater or equals to 3

A rectangular swimming pool measures 14 feet by 30 feet. The pool is surrounded on all four sides by a path that is 3 feet wide.

V125BC [204]

Check the picture below.

since the rectangular pool is a 14x30, the top and bottom part of that rectangle in the picture are just a 3x30 piece and the sides are 3x8, so how many ft² is that?

$\bf 2(3\cdot 30)+2(3\cdot 8)\implies 180+48\implies 228~ft^2~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{total cost}}{228\cdot 20\implies \boxed{456}}$

Judy’s measured potassium level varies according to the Normal distribution with μ = 3.8 and σ = 0.2 mmol/l. Let us consider wha

Basile [38]

Answer:

The blood potassium level L such that the probability is only 0.05 that the average of four measurements is less than L is 3.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means of size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation, which is also called standard error $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
