James will end up with his original t cars and half of (t+13) cars, so will have ...

... t + (t+13/2) = (3t +13)/2 . . . . cars James has after Paul's gift

What is the final amount if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The final amount  if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase is 807.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

General Formula

<em>A way to solve this problem is as follows</em>:

The general formula for this is taking into account that:

\\ percent\;change = \frac{change}{starting\;point}

The <em>starting point</em> is number 784.

The most important key is the solution for this answer is that:

\\ change = starting\;point - x

Where <em>x</em> is a number that we need to find. Then

\\ percent\;change = \frac{starting\;point - x}{starting\;point} [1]

Is 784 increased or decreased after all?

We also need to evaluate the following: if a quantity decreases a percentage, and then increases in another percentage, what is the final percentage? In this case, we have first that 784 decreases by 1% and then increases by 4%. As a result 784 will +4% - 1% = +3%, that is, 784 will increase in 3%.

Finding the result

If 784 increases by 3%, we have:

\\ 3\% = \frac{784 - x}{784}

Which is equal to

\\ 0.03 = \frac{784 - x}{784}

Solving for <em>x</em>, we first multiply by 784 to both sides of the previous formula:

\\ 0.03 * 784 = \frac{784 - x}{784}*784

\\ 0.03 * 784 = (784 - x)*\frac{784}{784}

\\ 0.03 * 784 = (784 - x)*1

\\ 0.03 * 784 = (784 - x)

Remember that if we add, subtract, multiply, divide... to both sides of the equation, we do not "alter" this equation.

Subtracting 784 to both sides:

\\ (0.03 * 784) - 784 = (784 - 784 - x)

\\ (0.03 * 784) - 784 = (0 - x)

\\ (0.03 * 784) - 784 = - x

\\ 23.52 - 784 = - x

\\ -760.48 = - x

Multiplying by -1 to both sides:

\\ -1 * (-760.48) = -1 * (-x)

We have to remember that:

\\ +*+ = +; - * - = +; - * + = -; + * - = -

\\ 760.48 = x

Then

\\ x = 760.48

Therefore, using formula [1], an increase of 3% is

\\ 3\% = \frac{784 - 760.48}{784}

\\ change = 784 - 760.48

\\ change = 23.52

Since an increase of 3% is 23.52, we have to add this to the starting point 784, and finally the amount is 784 + 23.52 = 807.52.

As a result, the final amount if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase is 807.52.  

In a more <em>terse way</em> of solving this problem, we can say that:

Increase of 4% = 784 * 0.04 = 31.36.

Decrease of 1% = 784 * 0.01 = 7.84.

Difference = 31.36 - 7.84 = 23.52.

Then, we need to add this value to 784, and 784 + 23.52 = 807.52 (the same result).

A manufacturer of paper coffee cups would like to estimate the proportion of cups that are defective (tears, broken seems, etc.)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a

  The 95% confidence interval is  0.0503  <   p < 0.1297

b

The sample proportion is  \r p =  0.09

c

The critical value is  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

d

 The standard error is  SE   =0.020

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  200

     The number of defective is  k =  18

The null hypothesis is  H_o  :  p  =  0.08

The  alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  p > 0.08

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as

            \r p =  \frac{18}{200}

            \r p =  0.09

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level  of significance is mathematically evaluated as

        \alpha  =  100 -  95

        \alpha  =  5\%

        \alpha  =  0.05

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{ \alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table, the value is  

        Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the standard of error is mathematically represented as

          SE   =  \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1 -  \r p)}{n} }

substituting values

         SE   =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09  (1 -  0.09)}{200} }

        SE   =0.020

The  margin of error is  

       E =  Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }  * SE

=>    E =  1.96  *  0.020

=>   E =  0.0397

The  95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

     \r p  -  E  <  \mu <  p <  \r p  + E

=>   0.09 - 0.0397  <  \mu <  p < 0.09 + 0.0397

=>  0.0503  <   p < 0.1297

A spherical scoop of ice cream is placed on top of a hollow ice cream cone. the scoop and cone have the same radius. the ice cre
noname [10]
The figure shown below illustrates the problem.

The volume of the empty cone is
V₁ = (1/3) π r²h

The volume of the sphere is
V₂ = (4/3) π r³

Because the melted ice cream completely fills the cone, therefore
V₁ = V₂
(1/3) π r² h = (4/3) π r³
Divide each side by (1/3) π r².
h = 4r

Answer:
The height of the cone is 4 times greater than the radius f the cone.
