Marco purchased a large box of comic books for $300. He gave 15 of the comic books to his brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330 making a profit , making a profit of $1.50 on each one.how many comic books were in the box? what was the original price of each comic book (assuming they all cost the same amount)?
Answer: There are 75 books.
Price of each book = $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of books in the box.
Then as per given,
Cost of x books = $300
Cost of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{300}x)[/tex]
Books left after giving 15 of them = x-15
Selling price of (x-15) books= $330
Selling price of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{330}{x-15})[/tex]
Profit on each book= $1.50
Profit = selling price - cost price
[tex]\Rightarrow 1.50=\dfrac{330}{x-15}-\dfrac{300}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330(x)-300(x-15)}{x(x-15)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330x-300x+4500}{x^2-15x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50(x^2-15x)=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-22.5x=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-25x-3000=0\ \ [\text{divide by 1.5}][/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow (x+40)(x-75)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=-40,75[/tex]
Number of books cannot be negative.
So, there are 75 books.
Price of each book = [tex]\dfrac{300}{75}=\$4[/tex]
So price of each book = $4.
In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%). In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 35% with a margin of error of 2.5%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality.
Answer:
The conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality is
[tex]0.325 < p < 0.375[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample proportion is [tex]\r p = 0.35[/tex]
The margin of error is [tex]E = 0.025[/tex]
The confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p -E < p < \r p +E[/tex]
=> [tex]0.35 - 0.025 < p < 0.35 + 0.025[/tex]
=> [tex]0.325 < p < 0.375[/tex]

Canada has a population of 33 million while Russia has 144 million inhabitants. Indonesia population is 50% greater then that of Russia while it is only 72% of the population of the United States. How many million people must be added to the United States so that the population of that country becomes 10 times of Canada?
Answer: 30 million people must be added.
Step-by-step explanation: 50% of 144 million is 72 million. You add these to find Indonesia’s population. 144 million + 72 million= 216 million. If 216 million is only 72% of the US population, then divide 216 million by 72 to find 1%. 216 million/72=3 million. Multiply this by 100 to find the US population. 3 million times 100= 300 million. Now, multiply Canada’s population by 10. 33 million times 10= 330 million. Finally, subtract 300 million from 330 million to find the amount needed to make the US population 10 times that of Canada’s. 330 million-300 million=30 million. So , you need 30 million people in order to make the US population 10 times that of Canada’s.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 368 yards. If the length of the field is 98 yards, what is its width?
Answer:
86 = w
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is
P = 2(l+w)
368 = 2(98+w)
Divide each side by 2
368/2 = 2/2(98+w)
184 = 98+w
Subtract 98 from each side
184-98 = 98+w-98
86 = w

The amount of rainfall in January in a certain city is normally distributed with a mean of 3.1 inches and a standard deviation of 0.4 inches. Find the value of the quartile Q 1.
Answer:
2.83
Step-by-step explanation:
For a normally distributed data :
Mean = 3.1 inches
Standard deviation = 0.4 inches
Find the value of the quartile Q1:
The quartile Q1 represents the first quartile which is the Lower 25% of the distribution
25% = 0.25
Using the z-table :
0.25 = - 0.68
The z- score formula
Z-score = ( x - mean / standard deviation)
-0.68 = ((x - 3.1) / 0.4)
x - 3.1 = (-0.68 * 0.4)
x - 3.1 = - 0.272
x = - 0.272 + 3.1
x = 2.828
x = 2.83

A hypothesis test is to be performed to test the equality of two population means. The sample sizes are large and the samples are independent. A 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means is (1.4, 8.7). If the hypothesis test is based on the same samples, which of the following do you know for sure:
A: The hypothesis µ1 = µ2 would be rejected at the 5% level of significance.
B: The hypothesis µ1 = µ2 would be rejected at the 10% level of significance.
C: The hypothesis µ1 = µ2 would be rejected at the 1% level of significance.
A) A and B
B) A and C
C) A only
D) A, B, and C
Answer:
C) A only
Step-by-step explanation:
In statistics, the null hypothesis is the default hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis is the research hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis usually comes in place to challenge the null hypothesis in order to determine if the test is statistically significant or not.
Similarly,
In hypothesis testing, the confidence interval consist of all reasonable value of the population mean. Values for which the null hypothesis will be rejected [tex]H_o[/tex] .
Given that:
At 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means is (1.4, 8.7).
The level of significance = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = 5%
So , If the hypothesis test is based on the same samples, The hypothesis µ1 = µ2 would be rejected at the 5% level of significance.

3x + 4y=17
- 4x – 3y= - 18
Answer here
Answer:
(3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y=17
- 4x – 3y= - 18
Multiply the first equation by 4
4(3x + 4y=17 )
12x +16y = 68
Multiply the second equation by 3
3( - 4x – 3y= - 18)
-12x -9y = -54
Add the new equations together to eliminate x
12x +16y = 68
-12x -9y = -54
-----------------------
7y = 14
Divide by 7
7y/7 = 14/7
y=2
Now find x
3x+4(2) = 17
3x+8 = 17
Subtract 8 from each side
3x+8-8 = 17-8
3x = 9
Divide by 3
x = 3

Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
● 1/4 + 4(1/2 - 3/4 )^2
To make it easier convert the fractions to decimal numbers.
● 1/4 = 0.25
● 1/2 = 0.5
● 3/4 = 0.75
So the expression will be:
● 0.25 + 4(0.5 - 0.75)^2
Calculte first 0.5-0.75 (0.5-0.75= -0.25)
● 0.25 + 4 × (-0.25)^2
-0.25^2 is the same as 0.25^2
● 0.25 + 4 × (0.25)^2
0.25^2 is 0.0625
● 0.25 + 4×0.0625
Multiplication has the priority (4 ×0.0625) wich is 0.25
● 0.25 + 0.25
● 0.5
0.5 is 1/2
So the answer 1/2

Please help solve for the median !!
Answer:
Median = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
2, 5, 14, 15, 21, 18, 15, 9, 2
First, order the numbers:
2, 2, 5, 9, 14, 15, 15, 18, 21
Then, cancel out the numbers, starting the first and last number, going outwards in. If there is 1 number left, it is your median. If there are 2 left, add the 2 numbers together and divide them by two:
2, 2, 5, 9, 14, 15, 15, 18, 21
2, 5, 9, 14, 15, 15, 18
5, 9, 14, 15, 15
9, 14, 15

10 cows, 26 horses and 4 goats are in a paddock. What is the percentage of animals that are horses?
Answer:
10+26+4=40
in total there is 40 animals
because there is in total for 40 animals then that mean 40 animals is 100%
now we see that there are 26 horses we only need to divid ( but remember you have to divid the percent and the number of animals together)
40 ÷ 20 = 2. 2 x 13 = 26
100% ÷ 20 = 5%. 5% x 13 = 65%
the answer for this question:
the percentage of animals that are horses is 65%

3. What is the probability of exactly 1 girl out of three children?
Answer:
a.0.375
b.0.125
c.0.375
1.0.375
2.0.125
3.0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
The total events in a sample space are n(S)=8
The events that contains exactly two boys
Boy Boy Girl,Boy Girl Boy,Girl Boy Boy.
Let A be the event that there are exactly two boys. Thus, n(A)=3.
So, probability of exactly 2 boys is P(A)=n(A)/n(S)=3/8=0.375.
b.
The event that contains exactly 0 girls.
Boy Boy Boy
Let B be the event that contains exactly 0 girls. Thus, n(B)=1.
So, probability of exactly 0 girls is
P(B)=n(B)/n(S)=1/8=0.125.
c.
The events that contains exactly 1 girl.
Boy Boy Girl,Boy Girl Boy,Girl Boy Boy
Let C be the event that contains exactly 1 girl. Thus, n(C)=3.
So, probability of exactly 1 girl is
P(C)=n(C)/n(S)=3/8=0.375.

Which table represents the same linear relationship as the equation y=2x•6? (answers are in the image) Please include ALL work!
Answer:
Table in option C represents the linear relationship as the equation, [tex] y = 2x + 6 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation given seems to be wrong. The equation should be [tex] y = 2x + 6 [/tex], because, taking a look at the tables given, the table in option C is the only table that has values that conforms to the equation, [tex] y = 2x + 6 [/tex].
In table C, when x = 2 using the equation, [tex] y = 2x + 6 [/tex], thus,
[tex] y = 2(2) + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10 [/tex].
When x = 3,
[tex] y = 2(3) + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12. [/tex]
Theredore, the equation, [tex] y = 2x + 6 [/tex], represents the relationship between the X and y variables in the table in option C.

Answer:
The corresponding graph is Graph A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1: Rewriting the inequality and solving for d
To start, the inequality will need simplified.
[tex]9-4d\geq -3\\\\-4d\geq -12\\\\\frac{-4d}{-4} \geq \frac{-12}{-4} \\\\d \leq 3[/tex]
Because simplifying the inequality involved dividing by a negative number, the sign must be flipped.
Part 2: Determining the graph for the inequality
Now, refer to the rules for graphing inequalities.
If the sign is simply < or >, the graph will start at the number that it begins at and the circle will be open.If the sign is ≤ or ≥, the graph will start at the number that it begins at and the circle will be closed.Therefore, because [tex]d \leq 3[/tex], the graph will start at 3 as a closed dot. Then, it will go left because values must be equal to 3 or less than 3.
Therefore, the graph that represents this is Graph A.

Unique Triangles
The available congruence theorems are a good starting point for determining if a triangle is unique. If you have side and angle definitions that correspond to AAS, ASA, SAS, SSS, or HL, then the triangle is uniquely determined.
You will notice that SSA is not on this list. However, there are special cases where SSA can be used. If the given angle is opposite the longest given side, then the triangle is uniquely determined. (You will notice that this is the case in an HL triangle, where the given H side is opposite the right angle.)
1) SSA; angle is opposite the short side — triangle is not unique
2) AAA; no side is given — triangle is not unique
3) SAS; — triangle is unique

Answer:
(C) 1 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding angles are angles that are at the same corner at the different intersections.
We can see that 1 is on the bottom right corner of the bottom line, now we need to see what angle is at the bottom right corner of the top line?
That's 3.
So 1 and 3 are congruent because they are corresponding.
