Answer with explanation:

Number of tickets wrote by Officer Brimberry last week = 32

Number of tickets wrote by Officer Brimberry this week = 20

Percent Decrease

$=\frac{\text{Last week}-\text{This week}}{\text{Last week}}\times 100\\\\=\frac{32-20}{32}\times 100\\\\=\frac{12}{32}\times 100\\\\=\frac{1200}{32}\\\\= 37.5$

So, Percent decrease in ticket from last week to this week =37.5%

Complete Question

The complete qustion is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 49$

The mean is $\mu = 17ppb$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 14 ppb$

Generally the standard error of this measurement is mathematically represented as

$\sigma_z = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

substituting values

$\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49} }$

$\sigma_{\= x} = 2$ ppb

Now the probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb represented as P(X < 15 )

Next is to find the z value

$z = \frac{\mu -\sigma }{\sigma_{\= x}}$

$z = \frac{15-17}{2}$

$z = -1$

Now checking the z-table for the z-score of -1 we have

Elodia [21]

Answer:

29 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total = \$43.25$

$Entrance\ Fee = \$7$

$Per\ Minute = \$1.25$

Required

Determine the number of minutes (t) that he was on the trampoline.

This can be expressed as:

$Total\ Payment = Entrance\ Fee + Amount\ per\ minute * t$

Where t represents the number of minutes

Substitute values for Total, Entrance Fee and Amount per minute

$43.25 = 7 + 1.25 * t$

$43.25 = 7 + 1.25t$

Solving further to get the value of t, we have:

$1.25t = 43.25 - 7$

$1.25t = 36.25$

$t = 36.25/1.25$

$t = 29$

Find the Maclaurin polynomials of orders n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then find the nth Maclaurin polynomials for the function in

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Σ(-1)^kx^k for k = 0 to n

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth Maclaurin polynomials for f to be

Pn(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f''(0)x²/2! + f"'(0)x³/3! +. ......

The given function is.

f(x) = 1/(1+x)

Differentiate four times with respect to x

f(x) = 1/(1+x)

f'(x) = -1/(1+x)²

f''(x) = 2/(1+x)³

f'''(x) = -6/(1+x)⁴

f''''(x) = 24/(1+x)^5

To calculate with a coefficient of 1

f(0) = 1

f'(0) = -1

f''(0) = 2

f'''(0) = -6

f''''(0) = 24

Findinf Pn(x) for n = 0 to 4.

Po(x) = 1

P1(x) = 1 - x

P2(x) = 1 - x + x²

P3(x) = 1 - x+ x² - x³

P4(x) = 1 - x+ x² - x³+ x⁴

Hence, the nth Maclaurin polynomials is

1 - x+ x² - x³+ x⁴ +.......+(-1)^nx^n

= Σ(-1)^kx^k for k = 0 to n
