Sue's tyre pressure gauge shows a reading which is 8% higher than the actual pressure.

Mathematics

Answer:

36.5 is the answer

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual pressure be x

The actual pressure is 100% of x

The pressure is showing 8% more

So the pressure showing now is the actual pressure + the extra pressure

= 100%+8% = 108%

= 108/100

So the equation is:

108/100 x = 39.42

108x = 39.42*100

108x = 3942

x= 3942/108

= 36.5

Therefore the actual pressure is 36.5

Line AB has an equation of a line y = 5x − 2. Which of the following could be an equation for a line that is parallel to line AB
SpyIntel [72]
Determine the slope of line AB
m = 5

Determine the slope of the lines from the options
First option: y = 5x + 3, the slope is 5
Second option: y = (1/5)x + 3, the slope is 1/5
Third option: y = -5x + 3, the slope is -5
Fourth option: y = (-1/5)x + 3, the slope is -1/5

Parallel lines are similar in the slope. So the line which is parallel to line AB must have the slope of 5.

The answer is first option.

Delia went to a market to buy 4.5 pounds of sliced fruit in a container she paid with a $20 bill and a $5 bill and received $4.6
andreyandreev [35.5K]
20+5=25 then 25-4.67=20.33 so then you do 20.33/4.5=4.5 so the cost for one pound of fruit is $4.57. Hope this helps :)

The Ignorance Survey: United Kingdom A survey was conducted in the United Kingdom, where respondents were asked if they had a un
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Here we have given two catogaries as degree holder and non degree holder.

So here we have to test the hypothesis that,

H0 : p1 = p2 Vs H1 : p1 not= p2

where p1 is population proportion of degree holder.

p2 is population proportion of non degree holder.

Assume alpha = level of significance = 5% = 0.05

The test is two tailed.

Here test statistic follows standard normal distribution.

The test statistic is,

Z = (p1^ - p2^) / SE

where SE = sqrt[(p^*q^)/n1 + (p^*q^)/n2]

p1^ = x1/n1

p2^ = x2/n2

p^ = (x1+x2) / (n1+n2)

This we can done in TI_83 calculator.

steps :

STAT --> TESTS --> 6:2-PropZTest --> ENTER --> Input all the values --> select alternative "not= P2" --> ENTER --> Calculate --> ENTER

Test statistic Z = 1.60

P-value = 0.1090

P-value > alpha

Fail to reject H0 or accept H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to say that  the percent of correct answers is significantly different between degree holders and non-degree holders.

Points H and F lie on circle c What is the length of line segment GH?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points H and F lie on  circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.

To find: Length of GH.

Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)

Now, GC = GH + CH

GC = GH + 9

Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Base)^{2} +(Altitude)^{2} ......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)

(GC)^{2} = (GE)^{2} +(EC)^{2}

(GH + 9)^{2} = (9)^{2} +(12)^{2}

(GH )^{2} + (9)^{2} + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 81 + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 18GH = 144

Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>

x^{2} +18x = 144

On rearranging,

x^{2} +18 x - 144 = 0

x^{2} - 6x +24x + 144 = 0

x (x-6) + 24 (x - 6) =0

(x - 6) (x + 24) = 0

So x = 6  and x = - 24

∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.

Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.
