A department store manager noted that the sales of furniture contributed 20% of the store's profits in the year 2015 and 29% in the year 2016.
Of the following choices, which two statements about furniture sales are true?
a.) There was a 45% increase in furniture sales.
b.) Furniture sales rose by 45 percentage points.
c.) There was a 31% increase in furniture sales.
d.) There was a 9% increase in furniture sales.
e.) Furniture sales rose by 31 percentage points.
f.) Furniture sales rose by 9 percentage points.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There was a 45% increase in furniture sales.

Furniture sales rose by 9 percentage points.

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute difference = new - old

29-20= 9 percentage points

absolute difference / initial value = 9/20 = .45 * 100 = 45%

Answer 2

Two statements which are true about furniture sales are  [tex](a)[/tex] There was a [tex]45\%[/tex] increase in furniture sales and  [tex](f)[/tex]  Furniture sales rose by [tex]9[/tex] percentage points.

What is percentage ?

Percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%".

Percentage [tex]=\frac{Obtained\ number}{Total\ number}\ * 100[/tex]

We have,

Sales of furniture in [tex]2015=20\%[/tex]

Sales of furniture in [tex]2016=29\%[/tex],

So,

Change in Percentage [tex]=29-20=9\%[/tex]

i.e.

Sales rise by [tex]9\%[/tex] points,

And,

Increase in Percentage [tex]=\frac{9}{20}\ *100=45\%[/tex]

Hence, we can say that Two statements which are true about furniture sales are [tex](a)[/tex] There was a [tex]45\%[/tex] increase in furniture sales and [tex](f)[/tex] Furniture sales rose by [tex]9[/tex] percentage points.

Find the surface area of a square pyramid with side length 4 yd and slant height 6 yd.

Answers

Answer:

112 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the square pyramid = area of base + perimeter of base × slant height

Area of base = s²

s = 4 yd

Area = 4² = 16 yd²

Perimeter = 4(s)

Perimeter = 4(4) = 16 yd

Slant height = 6 yd

Surface area of the square pyramid = 16 + 16 × 6

= 16 + 96

= 112 yd²

Answers

Answer: (a) = 110 degrees, (b) = 8

If I understand the picture correctly, (a) wants you to find the angle K. It first shows us that both J to K, and L to K are equal in length of 11, thus there is no deviation in angle 35 degrees with L (so they both equal each other). Therefore, the angle K will equal 180 degrees subtracted by the sum of J and L, which is 110 degrees.

For (b), it appears that all the angles have the same singular mark at the edges, so all sides will equal 8.

Lighter cars are more fuel-efficient than heavier cars. An environmentalist would like to estimate the true mean weight
of all cars. To do so, she selects a random sample of 30 cars and determines the 90% confidence interval for the true
mean weight to be 2.8 to 3.4 tons. Which of these statements is a correct interpretation of the confidence level?
O There is a probability of 0.90 that the confidence
interval (2.8, 3.4) captures the true mean weight of all cars.
O The environmentalist can be 90% confident that the true mean weight of all cars is between 2.8 and 3.4 tons,
O If many random samples of size 30 are selected from the population of all cars, approximately 90% of the sample
means will be between 2.8 and 3.4 tons.
O If many random samples of size 30 are selected from the population of all cars, about 90% of the intervals would

Answers

Answer:

The environmentalist can be 90% confident that the true mean weight of all cars is between 2.8 and 3.4 tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

In this question:

90% confidence interval between 2.8 and 3.4 tons. This means that the environmentalist can be 90% sure that the mean weight of all cars is in this interval, that is:

The environmentalist can be 90% confident that the true mean weight of all cars is between 2.8 and 3.4 tons.

Answers

Answer: A) Money is taken out of your paycheck before you pay taxes on it.

I'm assuming your teacher is talking about tax deferred retirement plans. This is where the money you put into the retirement account isn't part of your taxable income (but the money coming out is taxed). In short, the tax is not applied to the input but it is applied to the output.

This is in contrast to a tax exempt retirement account where the input money is taxed but the output money is not taxed. This is of course a very simplified picture. The actual tax rules and various investment options are much more complicated.

Answers

Question: What's the joint frequency a 9th grader liked math?

Answer: 3%

Explanation:

Check out the attached image below. I've filled in the table with the missing values. The upper left corner is 3 because 7+3 = 10 in the first column. You'll fill in the other values in a similar fashion. Once we filled out the table, we can answer all of these questions. There are 3 ninth graders who like math out of 100 people total. So the final answer is 3/100 = 0.03 = 3%.

-----------------------------------

Question: What's the marginal relative frequency of 9th graders surveyed?

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Again, refer to the table to find that there are 10 ninth graders out of 100 total. So 10/100 = 0.10 = 10% is the answer.

-----------------------------------

Question: Given a student was in 10th grade, what's the likelihood the student preferred English?

Answer:  46%

Explanation:

We only focus on the 10th graders because of the "given". There are 23 people in this row who like English out of 50 total sophomores. So 23/50 = 0.46 = 46% of the tenth graders liked English.

-----------------------------------

Question: Given the subject was science, what's the likelihood the student was a freshman?

Answer: 72.5%

Explanation:

Focus on the science column only. There are 29 freshmen out of 40 students total. We get the percentage of 29/40 = 0.725 = 72.5%

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dollar amount of markup  = sticker price - invoice price

sticker price is what you pay to buy the car

invoice price is what the dealership has to pay the manufacturer of the car.

sticker price = 22450

invoice price = 19450

Dollar amount of the markup = 22450 - 19450

Dollar amount of the markup = 3000

A survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.
Age Group
Hours of Sleep 39 or younger 40 or older
Fewer than 6 38 36
6 to 6.9 61 58
7 to 7.9 76 74
8 or more 65 92
(a) Conduct a test of independence to determine whether hours of sleep are independent of age.
(b) What is your estimate of the percentages of individuals who sleep fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more per night?

Answers

Answer:

Sleep hours per night is independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Hours of Sleep 39 or younger 40 or older

> 6 _____38 36

6 to 6.9 _ 61 58

7 to 7.9 __76 74

8 or more 65 92

The Chisquare statistic is to be used to perform the analysis :

The hypothesis :

H0: Sleep hours per night is independent

H1: Sleep hours per night is not independent

χ² = (observed - Expected)² / Expected

To save computation time. We could use a Chisquare calculator to perform the analysis :

The test statistic = 4.0061

The degree of freedom = (row - 1) * (column - 1)

Degree of freedom = (4-1)*(2-1) = 3*1 = 3

The Pvalue = 0.261

Since, Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the H0 ;and conclude that sleep hours per night is independent.
