Let the two possible actual measurements be .x' and 'y', where x is a measurement less than 15.6 and y is a measurement more than 15.6 

x + 35.5% of x = 15.6
y - 35.5% of y

35.5% as decimal is 0.355

x + 0.355x = 15.6, and
y - 0.355y = 15.6

Solving x + 0.355x = 15.6
1.355x = 15.6
x = 15.6÷1.355 = 11.53

Solving y - 0.355x = 15.6
0.645y = 15.6
y = 15.6 - 0.645
y = 24.19 

Two possible measurements are 11.53 and 24.19

Answer:

a. Yes(n=500>=5, n(1-p)=25>=5)

b. 0.15241

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A normal approximation to the binomial can be used  n\geq5 and n(1-p)>=5:

#We calculate our p as follows:

\hat p=x/n=470/500=0.94

n=500

n(1-p)=500(1-0.95)=25

Hence, we can use the normal approximation.

b. This is a normal approximation.

-Given that p=0.95(95%)

-We verify if our distribution can be approximated to a normal:

np=0.95\times 500=475\\n(1-p)=500(1-0.95)=25\\\\np\geq 5,\ n(1-p)\geq 5

Hence, we can use the normal approximation of the form:

P_{bin}(k,n,p)->N(\mu,\sigma^2)\left \{ {{\mu=np=475} \atop {\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=4.8734}} \right. \\\\\\P_{bin}(k\leq 470)\approx P_{norm}(x\leq 470.5)=P_{norm}(z\leq \frac{470-475}{4.8734})\\\\P_{norm}(z\leq -1.0260)=0.15241

Hence, the probability of the sample proportion  is the same as the proportion of the sample found is 0.15241

Amanda is placing an order for running shoes and leather boots for her footwear boutique. She needs a total of 48 pairs of shoes
Basile [38]

Constraint 1:

Let the total number of running shoes be = R

Let the total number of leather boots be = L

As the given number of total shoes are 48,

The equations becomes,

R + L = 48............(1)

Constraint 2:

As running shoes are twice the leather boots, equation becomes,

R = 2L..............(2)

Putting the value of R from equation(2) in equation (1)

2L+ L=48

3L=48

L=16

Now putting the value of L in equation(2)

R= 2L

R = 2*16

R=32

Hence, Amanda needs 16 pairs of leather boots and 32 pairs of running shoes.

Marissa bought a car for $22,000. The value of the car is decreasing at a rate of 10.5% every year. After 5 years, the value of
torisob [31]

Answer: the value of the car will be about $12634

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^ t

Where

A represents the value of the car after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial value of the car.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

P = $22000

r = 10.5% = 10.5/100 = 0.105

t = 5 years

Therefore

A = 22000(1 - 0.105)^5

A = 22000(0.895)^5

A = $12634

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Monthly household expenditures on groceries

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable is the one for which measurements are desired and that depends on other variables.

In this case, family size, household income, and household neighborhood are independent variables, while the response variable is the monthly household expenditures on groceries.
