So the given series is "16, 06, 68, 88, __"

Count all the cyclical opening in each of these numbers. For example in 16, there is a one cyclical loop present in it(the one in 6), similarly in 06 it is two(one in zero and one in 6), going ahead, in 68 it is 3(one in 6 and two in 8).

From here on things become simple: hence, the cyclical figures in these equations written down becomes 1,2,3,4,_,3.

Let's now try solving the above sequence, going by the logical reasoning the only number that can fill in the gap should be 4.

a shopkeeper sold goods for rs 2400 and made a profit of 25% in the process. find his profit per cent if he had sold his goods f

miv72 [106K]

case 1,

Let the CP be ₹x,

SP = ₹2400

Profit = SP – CP

= 2400 – x

Profit % = {(2400–x)/ x} × 100%

According to the question,

{(2400–x)/ x} × 100 = 25

=> (2400–x)/ x= 25 /100

=> 100(2400–x) = 25x [ cross multiplication]

=> 240000 – 100x = 25x

=> 240000 = 25x + 100x

=> 240000 = 125x

=> 240000/125 = x

=> x = 1920

So, CP = ₹1920

case 2,

SP = ₹2040

Profit = SP – CP

= 2040 – 1920

= ₹120

profit % = 120/1920 × 100%

= 16%

<h3>Thus, his profit would be 16% if he had sold his goods for ₹2040.</h3>

Cindy found a collection of baseball cards in her attic worth $8,000. the collection is estimated to increase in value by 1.5% p

Sergio [31]

A]
Exponential function is given by the form:
y=a(b)ˣ
where:
a=initial value
b=growth factor
From the question:
a=$8000, b=1.015,
thus the exponential growth function of this situation is:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ

b] The value of the collection after 7 years will be:
x=7 years
Using the formula:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ
plugging the values we get:
y=8000(1.015)⁷
y=8,878.76

Answer: $8,878.76

The percentage of body fat of a random sample of 36 men aged 20 to 29 found a sample mean of 14.42. Find a 95% confidence interv

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=14.42$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=6.95$ represent the population standard deviation

n=36 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

The heights of the trees for sale at two nurseries are shown below. Heights of trees at Yard Works in feet : 7, 9, 7, 12, 5 Heig

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The mean of tree heights at Yard Works is 8 feet and at Grow Station is 9 feet.The mean absolute deviation of the tree heights at both yards is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Height of the trees at Yard Works are = 7,9,7,12,5 feet

So mean height of the trees = (7+9+7+12+5)÷5

= 40÷5 =8 feet

Standard deviation of the trees at Yard works = ∑(║(height of the tree-mean height of the tree))║/(number of trees)

(height of the tree-mean height of the tree)= ║(7-8)║+║(9-8)║+║(7-8)║+║(12-8)║+║(5-8)║ = (1)+1+(1)+4+(3)= 10

Therefore standard deviation = (10)/(5) =2

2). In the same way mean height of the trees at Grow Station=(9+11+6+12+7)/5= 45/5 = 9

Now we will calculate the mean deviation of the tress at Grow Station

= ∑║(height of the tree-mean height of the tree)║/(number of trees)

= ║(9-9)║+║(11-9)║+║(6-9)║+║(12-9)║+║(7-9)║/(5)

= (0+2+3+3+2)/5

= 10/5 =2

Therefore The mean of tree heights at Yard Works is 8 feet and at Grow Station is 9 feet.The mean absolute deviation of the tree heights at both yards is 2.

What are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation 40 − x2 = 0?

Anni [7]

X = 20
First, you move the 40 to the other side.
-2x=-40
Then, you divided -40 by -2.
x= -40/-2
x= 20
x is 20 because the negatives cancel out making it positive.
