A family originally bought a home for $654,030. Now, a few years later, the home is worth
$457,821. What was the percent of decrease in its value?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find out the difference between them:

$654,030 - $457,821 = $196,209

Then we compare it with the original price:

196,209/654,030 = 0.3

Since 0.3 is 30%, that is 30% decrease in value.

Answers

The normal distribution is also known as the Gaussian distribution. The correct option is D, while the z-score is -2.29.

What is Normal Distribution?

The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, is a symmetric probability distribution about the mean, indicating that data near the mean occur more frequently than data distant from the mean. The normal distribution will show as a bell curve on a graph.

Since the normal distribution is symmetrical about the mean. Therefore, 0.89 area from the left will be equal to 0.11 area from the right. Therefore, the correct option is D, while the z-score is -2.29.

why is smallest possible angle of a 36-gon 5 degrees instead of 4.72222222222?

Answers

The smallest interior angle of the given regular polygon with 36 sides is; 170°

How to find the sum of interior angles of a polygon?

The formula for calculating the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is; S = (n − 2) × 180°

where n is number of sides of the polygon

We are told that number of sides of ploygon is 36. Thus;

S = (36 - 2) × 180°

S = 6120°

Thus;

Smallest possible angle of polygon = 6120/36 = 170°

two variables x and y have corresponding values as shown in the table below. x=2,3,a and y=20,40,104 given that y varies directly as x power 2+1 find (a) value of k (b) value of a ​

Answers

The value of k is 4 and the value of a is 5

How to determine the value of k?

The table of values is given as:

x=2,3,a

y=20,40,104

The variation is given as:

[tex]y\ \alpha\ x^2+1[/tex]

Express as an equation

y = k(x^2 + 1)

When x = 2, y = 20.

So, we have:

[tex]20 = k(2^2 + 1)[/tex]

Evaluate the sum

20 = 5k

Divide by 5

k = 4

Hence, the value of k is 4

How to determine the value of a?

In (a), we have:

y = k(x^2 + 1)

Substitute 4 for k

y = 4(x^2 + 1)

When x = a, y = 104.

So, we have:

104 = 4(a^2 + 1)

Divide by 4

26 = a^2 + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides

a^2 = 25

Take the square root

a = 5

Hence, the value of a is 5

To begin with, there are 10 tiles.. You draw one and don't replace it. Then you draw another tile from the 9 that remain.  The job is to figure out the probability of that happening.

You have a 1/10 chance of drawing the M.

But now there are only 9 tiles left and you have a 1 in 9 chance of drawing a T

P(M,T) = 1/10 * 1/9 = 1 / 90
