We intend to estimate the average driving time of a group of commuters. From a previous study, we believe that the average time is 42 minutes with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. We want our 90 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error of no more than plus or minus 2 minutes. What is the smallest sample size that we should consider

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The smallest sample size that we should consider is 68.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 10 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 10[/tex]

What is the smallest sample size that we should consider?

This is n for which M = 2. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2 = 1.645\frac{10}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 1.645*10[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.645*5[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.645*5)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 67.7[/tex]

Rounding up:

The smallest sample size that we should consider is 68.

Reflect across the x-axis. Then rotate the shape around point B' 120 degrees clockwise.​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across the x-axis just changes the signs of the y-coordinates. Rotation -120° about B' is difficult to do by hand. The transformation rule for that is ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (x·cos(-120°) +y·sin(-120°), -x·sin(-120°) +y·cos(-120°))

  (x, y) ⇒ ((-(x-3) +(y+2)√3)/2 +3, (-(x-3)√3 -(y+2))/2 -2)

It looks like your problem is presented in GeoGebra, which makes reflection and rotation easy.

What is Slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope

Given:

From the data we have (5, 200) and (5,0)

then slope= (200-0) / 5

                = 40

So, Kate is reading 40 pages per hour.

Now, to read the whole book i.e., 500 pages it takes

= 500/40

= 12.5 hours

A polynomial function contains the factors x, x - 3 , and x + 1 Which graphs could represent the polynomial function? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.

Answers

Answer:

Option B and F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the terms x, x-3 and x+1, are the factors of the polynomial, therefore the roots are calculated by equating the factors to zero,

[tex]x = 0[/tex]

x - 3 = 0 ➡️ x = 3

x + 1 ➡️ x = -1

Plus, the polynomial has the zeroes -1, 0 and 3.

It means that the curve of the graph should intersect the x-axis at x = 0, x = 1, and x = 3.

Now select the graphs which pass through (-1, 0), (0, 0) and (3, 0).

It is observed that the graphs in options B and F follow this path.

So the correct choices are option B and F.

Just substitute x in the equation

so x=3

so

3^2=9, 5x3=15, -9

equals 15

15.

start by replacing x with 3

so your equation now would look like

f(3)= (3)^2+5(3)-9

next start by doing exponents

f(3)= 9+5(3)-9

now you can do multiplication

f(3)= 9 + 15 - 9

add everything together

9 + 15 -9

the force keeping the moon in its orbit round the earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the earth.if F =6×10^5KN and R =8×10^8.find the equation connecting Fand R.​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  F = 3.84×10^23/R²

Step-by-step explanation:

No units are given for distance, so we cannot give a constant of proportionality that has suitable units.

The general form for inverse square variation is ...

  F = k/R²

Then the value of k can be found from ...

  k = F·R² = (6×10^5)(8×10^8)^2 = 3.84×10^23

The formula relating the given F and R is ...

  F = 3.84×10^23/R²

What is the return on investment?

Return on investment or return on costs is a ratio between net income and investment.

Now, return=700,000-675,000=$25000

Return in percentage=25000/700000×100=3.571%

=3.57%
