Answer: The original price of the shirt was $32.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. The cost of the shirt during the 15% off sale is $27.20.

2. Then, to solve this problem you can write the following expression, where you can call the original price of the shirt x:

x-0.15x=27.20

3. Now, you must solve for  x. Then you obtain the following result:

0.85x=27.20\\x=\frac{27.20}{0.85}\\x=32

4. Therefore, the original price was $32.

Why would someone choose to use a graphing calculator to solve a system of linear equations instead of graphing by hand? Explain
Paul [167]
<span>Graphing calculators are more accurate and are faster when finding the solution(s). <span>When solving a system of equations with a graphing calculator, you can have the calculator graph equations of any degree and shape. The graphing calculator also has functions to find where the graphs intersect between two points and are accurate sometimes to ten decimal places. When compared to graphing by hand you can get inaccurate results and results that are not as precise.</span></span>

To be able to say with 95% confidence level that the standard deviation of a data set is within 10% of the population's standard
boyakko [2]
The answer in this question is 97.
0.20 SD = 1.96 SD / sqrt(n)
n = (1.96 / .200)^2
n = 96.04  
Which is rounded Up to 97
The number of observations within the data set must be greater than or equal to the quantity of 97.

Given the first type of plot indicated in each pair: which of the second plots could not always be generated from it? a. dot plo
Elenna [48]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Dot plot is usually in the form of stem & leaf. The only difference is that, stem& leaf presents the actual values while dot plot usually represent the value in dots. Hence, we can easily generate dot plot from stem & leaf!

For (a) dot plot and box plot, dot plot presents all the data while box plot presents only the five-num statistics, namely:

1. minimum

2. 1st quartile (Q1)

3. median

4. 3rd quartile (Q3)

5. Maximum

And outliers, if any!

Thus, dot plot cannot directly generate box plot

For (b). Histogram and stem & leaf. Although both usually help us understand the skewness of data distribution, however, histogram deals with frequency distribution (counts of number of occurrence) and plotted on the intervals and stem&leaf list the values.

For (d). Even though dot plot shoots up and down like the histogram, the content is different. In dot plot, it is the actual value represented in dots. But in histogram, it is the frequency distribution of the class intervals.

An engineering school reports that 53% of its students were male (M), 35% of its students were between the ages of 18 and 20 (A)
erik [133]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                      18-20                  Not 18-20           Total

Male                0.23                    0.35                 0.58

Female            0.16                     0.26                0.42

Total                0.39                    0.61                   1

P(female or between 18-20) = P(female) + P(18-20) - P(Female and 18-20)

P(female or between 18-20) =  0.42+0.39-0.16

P(female or between 18-20) = 0.65

Hence, our required probability is 0.65.

A map shows the town where Niko lives. The actual distance from Niko's house to his school is 3 miles, and measures one-half inc
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

<u>The distance of the library in the map is 0.67 inches (Rounding to two decimal places)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Scale factor for the map of the town = 0.5 inches: 3 miles

Distance from Niko's house to his school = 3 miles

Distance from Niko's school to the library = 4 miles

2. Let's find the distance of the library in the map

Distance of the library in the map = Distance of the library * Scale factor

Distance of the library in the map = 4 miles * 0.5 inches:3 miles

Distance of the library in the map = (2 miles * inches)/3 miles

Distance of the library in the map = 2 inches/3 (Miles are cancelled in the numerator and in the denominator)

<u>Distance of the library in the map = 0.67 inches (Rounding to two decimal places)</u>
