Answer:

$6.48

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the discount.

1.60 * 0.1 = $0.16 (the discount)

Second, subtract the discount to the original price.

1.60 - 0.16 = $1.44 (price after discount was applied)

Third, multiply to 4 1/2 to find how much it will cost.

1.44 * 4.5 = $6.48 (price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples with discount applied)

Step-by-step explanation:

As x approaches to infinity y  also approaches to infinity.

In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs (called the domain) and a set of possible outputs (called the range) with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Formally, a function f from a set A to a set B is defined as a subset of the Cartesian product A × B such that for every element a in A, there is a unique element b in B such that (a, b) belongs to the subset.

A function can be represented using the function notation f(x) = y, where x is the input (or independent variable), y is the output (or dependent variable), and f is the name of the function. The value of f(x) depends on the value of x and the rules of the function.

The amount of felt in the compound shape for the art project is: 313cm².

A compound shape is a 2D shape made up of two or more simpler shapes, often with different sizes and orientations, combined together. When computing the dimensions of a compound shape, the first thing to do is to fragment the shape into regular shapes.

Having fragmented the above given shape (art project) there are:

The required amount of felt for the art project will the sum of the areas of these shapes. The dimensions are given:

We derived 6cm by removing 11cm, 5cm and 3cm from 25cm. That is:

25 - 11 - 5 - 3 = 6cm

We derived 8cm - the height of the right angled tringle by removing 9cm from 17cm. That is:

17cm - 9cm = 8cm.

Areas of the following shapes are given as follows:

1) Area of the rectangle with dimensions 17cm x 5cm:                                  Area = length x width = 17cm x 5cm = 85 square cm

2)  Area of the rectangle with dimensions 17cm x 9cm:

    Area = length x width = 17cm x 9cm = 153 square cm

3) Area of the rectangle with dimensions 17cm x 3cm:

Area = length x width = 17cm x 3cm = 51 square cm

4) Area of the right-angle triangle with base 6cm and height 8cm:

Area = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 6cm x 8cm = 24 square cm

Sum of the areas of all four shapes:

85 + 153 + 51 + 24 = 313 square cm

The total cost for watching 4 movies in a month would be:

4 x $10 = $40.

Analysis is, broadly speaking, the process of approximating certain mathematical objects—like integers or functions—by other, simpler objects. For example, if you want to write pi as the limit of a series of numbers that you already know how to calculate, you should do so. This will allow you to discover the first few decimals of pi. Or here's a case that works the other way around: Although the sequence of factorials n! has a pleasing aesthetic quality, calculations frequently require an estimate of n! that more clearly illustrates its growth order; this approximation is provided by the classical Stirling formula.

We need to analyze the overall cost of each choice to decide if Ms. Espiritu should purchase a monthly pass or pay each time she visits the theatre.

Assume that each movie ticket is $10 and that a monthly pass is $30. It would be less expensive for Ms. Espiritu to get a monthly pass if she intends to watch more than three films in a month. This is why:

If she purchases each movie ticket individually, the total price for four movie viewings in a month would be:

If a student looks out of a third story window and sees the top of the school flagpole at an angle of elevation of 22°. the height of the flagpole to the nearest foot is approximately 52 ft.

Let's call the height of the flagpole "h". We can use the tangent function to set up an equation based on the angle of elevation:

tan(22°) = h / 60

Solving for h, we get:

h = 60 tan(22°)

h ≈ 23.7 ft

However, this value is the distance from the base of the flagpole to the top of the flagpole, and we need to find the actual height of the flagpole.

h_actual = h + 28

h_actual  =23.7 + 28

h_actual  = 51.7 ft

h_actual  =  52 ft (Approximately)

Answer:

To write an expression for the total cost of both memberships after m months, we can use the following vocabulary words:

- Startup fee: a one-time fee charged at the beginning of a service or membership

- Monthly fee: a recurring fee charged every month for a service or membership

Using this information, we can write the expression as:

Total cost = (Startup fee for digital library) + (Monthly fee for digital library x number of months) + (Monthly fee for video streaming service x number of months)

Substituting the given values, we get:

Total cost = (5) + (9.95 x m) + (7.99 x m)

Simplifying the expression, we get:

Total cost = 5 + 17.94m

Therefore, the total cost of both memberships after m months can be expressed as 5 + 17.94m.

The probability that the third card will be an ace is 0.0045, probability of all cards to be of same suit is 0.000495, and the probability of two or more aces is 0.004.

What is probability?

Probability is the study of the chances of occurrence of a result, which are obtained by the ratio between favorable cases and possible cases.

(a) The probability that the third card is an ace:

We can approach this problem by using the conditional probability formula, which states that the probability of an event A given that event B has occurred is:

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

Let A be the event that the third card is an ace, and let B be the event that the first two cards are not aces. The probability of the first card being an ace is 4/52 (since there are four aces in a standard deck of 52 cards). The probability of the second card being an ace given that the first card was not an ace is 3/51 (since there are three aces left in the deck of 51 cards). The probability of the third card being an ace given that the first two cards were not aces is 2/50 (since there are two aces left in the deck of 50 cards).

Therefore, using the conditional probability formula, we have:

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

P(A|B) = (4/52) * (3/51) * (2/50) / (1 - (4/52) * (3/51))

P(A|B) ≈ 0.0045

So the probability that the third card is an ace is approximately 0.0045.

(b) The probability that all cards are of the same suit:

There are four suits in a standard deck of cards: clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. We can compute the probability that all five cards are of the same suit as follows:

P(all cards are of the same suit) = P(first card is a particular suit) * P(second card is the same suit) * P(third card is the same suit) * P(fourth card is the same suit) * P(fifth card is the same suit)

P(all cards are of the same suit) = (13/52) * (12/51) * (11/50) * (10/49) * (9/48)

P(all cards are of the same suit) ≈ 0.000495

So the probability that all cards are of the same suit is approximately 0.000495.

(c) The probability of two or more aces:

We can compute the probability of two or more aces by considering the complementary event: the probability that there are zero or one aces in the five cards dealt. The probability of getting zero aces is:

P(zero aces) = (48/52) * (47/51) * (46/50) * (45/49) * (44/48)

P(zero aces) ≈ 0.617

The probability of getting one ace is:

P(one ace) = (4/52) * (48/51) * (47/50) * (46/49) * (45/48) * 5

P(one ace) ≈ 0.379

Therefore, the probability of two or more aces is:

P(two or more aces) = 1 - P(zero aces) - P(one ace)

P(two or more aces) ≈ 0.004

So the probability of two or more aces is approximately 0.004.

c. The test scores appear to form a normal distribution. The data points form a symmetric pattern about the mean of 85.4, indicating that the majority of the test scores are concentrated near the mean and gradually become less common as you move away from the mean.

d. The mean of 85.4 and standard deviation of 12.1 indicate that most of the test scores are clustered in the middle, with a few outliers on both the higher and lower end. This suggests that the test was neither too easy nor too difficult for the students, as it was not too difficult to achieve a higher score nor too easy to achieve a low score.

Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out data points are from the mean. It is calculated by taking the square root of the variance and can be used to measure the volatility of a data set. By looking at the standard deviation, one can determine the amount of variability in a given set of data.

The mean of the test scores is 85.4, which is calculated by adding the scores together and dividing by the total number of scores (13). The standard deviation of the scores is 12.1, which is calculated by taking the square root of the variance (217.8). The five-number summary of the test scores is 60, 78, 88, 95, and 98. This means that the minimum score is 60, the first quartile is 78, the median is 88, the third quartile is 95, and the maximum score is 98. This type of distribution is a right-skewed distribution, meaning that most of the scores are closer to the upper end of the range and there are fewer scores near the lower end. This is evident from the five-number summary, where the median is lower than the mean and the third quartile is close to the maximum score.

From this distribution, it is possible to infer that the test was likely a hard test for these students. This is because the mean score of 85.4 is much lower than the maximum score of 98, indicating that not many students were able to achieve the highest score. Additionally, the standard deviation of 12.1 is relatively large, indicating that there is a wide range of scores. This is further evidence that the test was difficult for the students.

The median is the middle number. Since there is no number “in the middle” you find the mean of the two numbers in the middle.

In a right triangle, the length of the median drawn from the vertex of the right angle equals half the length of the triangle’s hypotenuse.

here we have given a triangle let's say ABC in this A is a right angle which is divided by the median AD

So, AD = 1/2 * BC

Now, we need to find the value of the x, which hypotenuse of the new triangle that is the ADC

SO, AC² = AD² + DC²

x² = (4)² + (6)²

What is absolute change?

Absolute change tells us the magnitude of the difference or change between two values, regardless of whether the change was an increase or a decrease. It is often used in economics, finance, and other fields to measure changes in variables such as prices, income, sales, or quantities.

The absolute change in the price of a latte is the difference between the original price and the new price, without regard to the direction of the change.

Absolute change = | New price - Original price |

Absolute change = | $3.02 - $3.50 |

Absolute change = $0.48

The relative change in the price of a latte is the absolute change expressed as a percentage of the original price.

Relative change = (Absolute change / Original price) x 100%

Relative change = ($0.48 / $3.50) x 100%

Relative change = 13.7%

To find the vertex of the parabola, we can use the formula x = -b/2a, where a is the coefficient of the squared term, b is the coefficient of the linear term, and c is the constant term. In this case, a = 1, b = 8, and c = 23, so x = -8/2 = -4.

Substituting x = -4 into the function g(x) gives us g(-4) = (0)^2 + 7 = 7. Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (-4, 7), which is the point where the function reaches its minimum value of 7.

The probability of y that when a point is randomly selected on the surface of a lake that has a maximum depth of 100 feet are all real numbers from 0 to 100.

A lake is a body of freshwater that is surrounded by land. The water in a lake is still, unlike a river or a stream, which flows from one place to another. Lakes are a vital component of the water cycle and play an important role in the ecosystem.

Since the maximum depth of the lake is 100 feet, the depth of the lake at the randomly chosen point cannot be greater than 100 feet. Therefore, y can have any value between 0 and 100. As a result, all real numbers from 0 to 100 are possible values of y.

Answer:

The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so Angle E = 70 degrees.

Choosing a sampling method that changes each time you take a sample is not the meaning of sampling variation.

The correct meaning of sampling variation is the fact that different samples taken from the same population will mostly produce different sample statistics due to random sampling error.

This means that there is a difference in the estimations gotten from different samples, even if the samples are drawn from the same population using the same sampling method.

The other options given are also not correct definitions of sampling variation. selecting a large sample size can help to reduce the amount of sampling variation by increasing the estimates obtained from the sample.

After 15 years, $412.5 will joy have earned in interest than Rico as he had an interest rate of 4%.

The simple interest is the rate at which you borrow or give money. When a user receives funds from a lender, the lender receives additional funds in return. The principal refers to the borrowed funds that are granted for a particular time period. Interest is the additional sum that must be returned to the provider for the use of the borrowed funds.

The principal quantity is multiplied by the number of periods and interest rate to determine simple interest. You do not have to pay interest on interest, and simple interest does not increase. In the case of simple interest, the contribution is applied to the current month's interest and the remaining sum is deducted from the principal.

We know that Rico put $5,500 in an account with 3.5 interest rate, which gives us a total amount of $8,387.5 and Interest Earned $2,887.5

We also know that Joy put $5,500 in a bank account with a 4% simple interest rate, which gives us a total amount of $8,800 and Interest Earned $3300.

To find the amount of money joy have earned in interest than Rico:

3300 - 2887.5 = 412.5

Therefore, we can say that after 15 years, $412.5 will joy have earned in interest than Rico as he had an interest rate of 4%.
