2. How much will this buffet cost 10 years from now? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
3. How much did this buffet cost 15 years ago? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer:

Let's mark Pat's age is x. Then Mattie's age is 2x and Jon's age is 4x.

So (x + 4) + (2x + 4) + (4x + 4) = 61.

7x + 12 = 61 => 7x = 49 => x = 7.

So the answer is

Pat = 7

Mattie = 14

Jon = 28

The ages of Pat, Mattie, and Jon are as follows: 7 years, 14 years & 28 years.  

If we take Pat's age as = 'x' years,

so, Mattie's age will be = '2x' years.

and then, Jon would be = 2(2x)

                                        = '4x' years.

Now, the sum of their ages after 4 years =

 => (x+4) + (2x+4) + (4x+4) = 61

 => 7x+12 = 61

 => 7x= 61-12

 => 7x= 49

 => x= 49/7

 => x = 7

Therefore, Pat's age is  = 7 years.

              Mattie's age is = 14 years (2×7).

                  Jon's age is = 28 years (4×7).

It tells about how  dispersed the data is is indicated by the standard deviation. It expresses the deviation of each observed variable from the mean. Any distribution will have roughly 95% of its values within two standard deviations of the mean.

Here,

We know population SD= Σ(xi-mu)2/n where mu is the population mean and n is the number of observation.

Here

we have n=7 and mu can be taken as x- =310.142

The answer of the equation "2x^2 -  4x - 6 =  0" is -1 and 3.

The equation is solved using factorization:

2x^2 -  4x - 6 =  0        , given equation

2x^2 -  6x + 2x - 6 =  0     , factorizing

2x(x - 3) + 2 ( x - 3 ) = 0    , taking 2x common from the first two terms and 2 common from the last two terms

(2x + 2) (x - 3) = 0

now solving further

( 2x + 2 ) = 0   &   ( x - 3 ) =0

2x = (0 - 2)    ,          x  = (0 +  3)

2x = (-2)        ,         x = 3

x = (-2/2)

x = -1

Jamal’s test scores are 84, 88, 92, and 94. Natalia’s test scores are 86, 88, 90, 92. Jamal has a greater test average than Natalia. Natalia has more consistent test scores than Jamal.

To find the test average, you add up all the test scores and divide by the number of test scores.

Jamal's average: (84+88+92+94) / 4 = 89.50

Natalia's average: (86+88+90+92) / 4 = 89

Converting 0.632 to a fraction, Step-by-Step

Step 1:

The first step to converting 0.632 to a fraction is to re-write 0.632 in the form p/q where p and q are both positive integers. To start with, 0.632 can be written as simply 0.632/1 to technically be written as a fraction.

Step 2:

Next, we will count the number of fractional digits after the decimal point in 0.632, which in this case is 3. For however many digits after the decimal point there are, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of 0.632/1 each by 10 to the power of that many digits. For instance, for 0.45, there are 2 fractional digits so we would multiply by 100; or for 0.324, since there are 3 fractional digits, we would multiply by 1000. So, in this case, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of 0.632/1 each by 1000:

\frac{0.632 × 1000}{1 × 1000} = \frac{632}{1000}

1×1000

0.632×1000

​

=

1000

632

​

Step 3:

Now the last step is to simplify the fraction (if possible) by finding similar factors and cancelling them out, which leads to the following answer:

\frac{632}{1000} = \frac{79}{125}

It will take the toaster about 175 seconds to make 20 slices.

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value. Unitary method is a technique by which we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple devices and the value of more than one unit from the value of a single unit. It is a method that we use for most of the calculations in math.

Given that The toaster takes 35 seconds to make 4 slices of toast.

It takes 70 seconds to make 8 slices of toast, It also takes 105 seconds to make 12 slices.

We are required to calculate how long it may probably take the toaster to make 20 slices.

To calculate the time it takes the toaster to make 1 slice:

4 slices ---------- 35 seconds

1 slice ----------- ? seconds

1/4 × 35 = 35/4 seconds

Now, if 1 slice will be made in 35/4 seconds,

20 slices will be made in:

1 slice --------- 35/4 seconds

20 slices ------ ? seconds

(20/1) × 35/4 = 175 seconds

Hence It will take the toaster about 175 seconds to make 20 slices.

Adding all of the remaining pizzas, and dividing the total pizza into 5 equal fractions, the fraction of pizza that each person gets would be 11/24

A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction. For example, 3 1/2 is a mixed number. It is different from an improper fraction, which is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. For example, 7/4 is an improper fraction.

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, you must first multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction. Then add the result to the numerator. Finally, place the sum over the denominator. For example, to convert 3 1/2 to an improper fraction, you would first multiply 3 by 2 (the denominator of the fraction 1/2) to get 6, then add 1 (the numerator of the fraction 1/2) to get 7. So 3 1/2 is equivalent to 7/2 as an improper fraction.

So to find out the fraction of a whole pizza  that each person gets out of the different remaining pizzas, first we need to all the remaining pizzas as shown below,

3/4 of pepperoni + 5/8 of cheese + 11/12 of sausage = 55/24

Now to equally divide this into 5 person, we need to divide this fraction by 5,

i.e 55/(24*5) = 11/24

Therefore, each person gets 11/24 of the whole pizza.

The half-life of caffeine in the body is approximately 5-6 hours, not 666 hours. Given this information, we can calculate the latest time Charlotte can drink a 222-ounce shot of espresso that contains 80mg of caffeine and still have no more than 2020mg of caffeine in her system at 11pm.

What does math's % mean?

In essence, percentages are fractions with a 100 as the denominator. We place the percent symbol (%) next to the number to indicate that the number is a percentage. For instance, you would have received a 75% grade if you answered 75 out of 100 questions correctly on a test (75/100).

We know that after 5-6 hours, the amount of caffeine in the body decreases by 50%. Therefore, in 11 hours, the amount of caffeine in the body would decrease by approximately 87.5%.

If we let x be the number of hours before 11pm that Charlotte can drink the espresso, then the amount of caffeine in her body at 11pm would be:

80mg * (1 - (87.5% ^ (x/5-6))) = 2020mg

The interest rate is 2.5 %.

Simple interest is the form of interest used for short term loans, such as one receives at pawnshops or from loan sharks. It is governed by the formula:

I = Prt

where I is the amount of interest, P is the principal (amount of money borrowed), r is the interest rate (per year), and t is the time (expressed in years).

Simple Interest (S.I.) is the method of calculating the interest amount for a particular principal amount of money at some rate of interest.

I = $25, P = $500, r = ?, t = 2 years

∴ I = Prt

∴ r = I / Pt

∴ r = 25 / ( 500 * 2)

∴ r = 25 / 1000

∴ r = 0.025

∴ r = 0.025 * 100 %

∴ r = 2.5 %

Therefore, the interest rate is 2.5 %.

Here acccording to the question,We are examining the conditions under which the sampling distributions of the sample proportions given.

Sampling distribution is a statistic that determines the probability of an event based on data from a small group within a large population. Its primary purpose is to establish representative results of small samples of a comparatively larger population. Since the population is too large to analyze, you can select a smaller group and repeatedly sample or analyze them. The gathered data, or statistic, is used to calculate the likely occurrence, or probability, of an event.

We are examining the conditions under which the sampling distributions of the sample proportions appear uniform, roughly normal, skewed to the left or skewed to the right.

When np10 and n(1p)10, where n is the sample size and p is the sample of proportions, are true, we know that the sampling proportions of the sample distributions will have a normal shape.

Aforementioned that our sample size is 300 people and that p = 0.45, we can use the given data to calculate

Successes anticipated: np= 300(0.45) = 135 10

Failures predicted: n(1p)=300 (10.45)=165 10

Since both of these statements are accurate, sample distribution sampling proportions will have a normal shape.

Because we anticipate each sample to have at least 10 successes and 10 failures, we have a normal sampling distribution.

As a result, the sample distribution has a roughly normal shape.
