Answer:

C.   37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, we know that the relative frequency of Contractors that prefer Glossy finish is 0.18, and the frequency of Contractors is 0.48. Therefore, contractors who prefer the glossy finish represent 0.18/0.48 = 0.375 or 0.375*100 = 37.5% of the total people surveyed.

Solution:

                       Matte Satin    Glossy Total

Homeowners 0.08 0.20 0.24 0.52

Contractors 0.04 0.26 0.18         0.48

Total         0.12         0.46 0.42   1

Approximately what percentage of contractors prefer the glossy finish?

Answer: Percentage of contractors who prefer the glossy finish is:

\frac{0.18}{0.48}=0.375
 or 37.5\%

Therefore, the option D. 37.5% is correct

How many multiples of 2 are there between 99 and 999?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiples of numbers calculator will find 100 multiples of a positive integer. For example, the multiples of 3 are calculated 3x1, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4, 3x5, etc., which equal 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc. You can designate a minimum value to generate multiples greater than a number.

Two linear functions are shown below which function has the greater rate of change
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

On this case if we analyze both slopes, we see that function 2 has a greater rate of change because have a slope greater on absolute value than the slope for Function 1 (|-5|>|4|). No matter if the sign is positive or no we are analyzing the rate of change and for this case we need to use the absolute value to find the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following two functions:

Function 1: y = 4x + 8

Function 2:  

x y

2 20

4 10

6 0

We can find the slope for the second function like this:

m =\frac{10-20}{4-2}=-5

And in order to find the intercept we can use any point for example (2,20) and we got:

20 =-5(2) +b

And then b=30

So our function 2 is given by: y =-5x +30

On this case if we analyze both slopes, we see that function 2 has a greater rate of change because have a slope greater on absolute value than the slope for Function 1 (|-5|>|4|). No matter if the sign is positive or no we are analyzing the rate of change and for this case we need to use the absolute value to find the solution.

The equation y=−0.0088x2+0.79x+15 models the speed x (in miles per hour) and average gas mileage y (in miles per gallon) for a v
Neko [114]

we are given

y=-0.0088x^2+0.79x+15

where

y is average gas mileage in miles per gallon

x is speed in miles per hour

we have to find average gas mileage at a speed of 60 miles per hour

so, we have

x=60mph

now, we can plug it and find y

y=-0.0088(60)^2+0.79(60)+15

we get

y=30.72

so,

the best approximate for the average gas mileage at a speed of 60 miles per hour is 30.7 mi/gal...........Answer
