A furnace used 40% of the fuel in its tank in the month of March and then used 25% of the remaining fuel in the month of April.

At the beginning of March, there were 240 gallons of fuel in the tank. How much fuel (in gallons) was left at the end of April?

March: 240 * 0.4 = 96 used
240 - 96 = 144 remains in the tank

April : 144 * 0.25 = 36 used
144 - 36 = 108 remains in tank

answer: 108 gallons left at the end of April

An athlete signs a contract that guarantees a ​$ 9​-million salary 6 yr from now. Assuming that money can be invested at 6.7​% w
frozen [14]

Answer:

$6,020,826.711

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present value of that year salary is shown below:

As we know that

Present value in case of continuous compounding, the formula is

= \frac{Guaranteed\ amount}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

where,

The Guaranteed amount is $9,000,000

The Time period is 6 years

And, the interest rate is 6.7%

Now placing these values

So, the present value is

= \frac{\$9,000,000}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

= $6,020,826.711

Sauron [17]
Correlation coefficient (r) = [nΣxy - (Σx)(Σy)] / [sqrt(nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2)sqrt(nΣy^2 - (Σy)^2)]
Σx = 21 => (Σx)^2 = 21^2 = 441
Σy = 671 => (Σy)^2 = 671^2 = 450,241
Σx^2 = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 = 91
Σy^2 = 98^2 + 101^2 + 109^2 + 117^2 + 119^2 + 127^2 = 75,665
Σxy = 1(98) + 2(101) + 3(109) + 4(117) + 5(119) + 6(127) = 2,452
r = [6(2,452) - 21(671)] / [sqrt(6(91) - 441)sqrt(6(75,665) - 450,241)] = 621/sqrt(105)sqrt(3749) = 0.99

option b is the correct answer.

Amanda [17]
So here is the answer to the given question above. Analyzing the given figure, we can see that at 0 miles, the cost is 25. Between 0 and 40 miles, the cost rises by 10. Therefore, the function that would represent this situation would be this: <span>f(x) = (10/40)x+25
   </span><span>     f(x) = 1/4 *x+ 25
        f(x) = 0.25x + 25
Hope this is the answer that you area looking for. </span>

A random sample of 28 statistics tutorials was selected from the past 5 years and the percentage of students absent from each on
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval using Student's t-distribution is (9.22, 11.61).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the sample is not big enough to use a z-distribution, we use student's t-distribution instead.

The formula to calculate the confidence interval is given by:

\bar{x}\pm t_{n-1} \times s/\sqrt{n}

Where:

\bar{x} is the sample's mean,

t_{n-1} is t-score with n-1 degrees of freedom,

s is the standard error,

n is the sample's size.

This part of the equation is called margin of error:

s/\sqrt{n}

We know that:

n=28

\bar{x}=10.41

degrees of freedom = 27

1-\alpha = 0.90 \Rightarrow \alpha = 0.10

t_{n-1} = 1.703

s = 3.71

Replacing in the formula with the corresponding values we obtain the confidence interval:

\bar{x}\pm t_{n-1} \times s/\sqrt{n} = 10.41 \pm 1.70 \times 3.71/\sqrt{28} = (9.22, 11.61)

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The greatest number of arrangements that he can make if every balloon is used is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest number of arrangements will be the greatest common factor between 24 and 32.

GCF of 24 and 32:

We keep factoring both numbers by prime factors, while they can both be divided by the same number. So

24 - 32|2

12 - 16|2

6 - 8|2

3 - 4

There is no factor for which we can divide both 3 and 4. So the GCF is 2*2*2 = 8.

This means that the greatest number of arrangements that he can make if every balloon is used is 8.
