Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices he was quoted are listed below: $663, $273, $410, $622, $174, $374

We would first determine the mean.

Mean = sum of terms in the data/ number of terms in the data.

Sum of terms =

663 + 273 + 410 + 622 + 174 + 374

= 2516

Number of terms = 6

Mean = 2516/6 = 419.33

Standard deviation = √summation(x - m)^2/n

summation(x - m)^2/n = (663 - 429.33)^2 + (273 - 419.33)^2 + (410 - 419.33)^2 + (622 - 419.33)^2 + (174 - 419.33)^2 + (374 - 419.33)^2

= 179417.9334/6 = 29902.9889

Standard deviation = √29902.9889

= 172.9

Work out the percentage change to 2 decimal places when a price of £87.95 is decreased to £70.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

20.41%

Step-by-step explanation:

87.95 - 70 = 17.95

17.95 / 87.95= 0.20409323479

0.20409323479 x 100 = 20.409323479

round it

= 20.41%

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

$Z_{0.05}=1.645$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :In a recent questionnaire about food, a random sample of 970 adults were asked about whether they prefer eating fruits or vegetables, and 458 reported that they preferred eating vegetables.

To Find :What value of z should be used to calculate a confidence interval with a 95 % confidence level?

Solution:

Confidence level = 95 % i.e.0.95

So, significance level = 5% i.e. 0.05

So, the value of z corresponding to significance level 0.05 should be used to calculate a confidence interval with a 95 % confidence level

So, $Z_{0.05}=1.645$

Hence z should be 1.645 to calculate a confidence interval with a 95 % confidence level.

At what points does the helix r(t) = sin t, cos t, t intersect the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 65? (round your answers to three decima

Firdavs [7]

$\mathbf r(t)=\langle x(t),y(t),z(t)\rangle=\langle\sin t,\cos t,t\rangle$

$x^2+y^2+z^2=\sin^2t+\cos^2t+t^2=65$
$\implies t^2=64$
$\implies t=\pm8$

Solve the following quadratic equations by extracting square roots.Answer the questions that follow.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1. x=±4

2. t=±9

3. r=±10

4. x=±12

5. s=±5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2 = 16

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2}\\$

x=±4

2. t^2=81

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{(9)^2}$

t=±9

3. r^2-100=0

$r^{2}-100=0\\r^2 =100\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{(10)^2}$

r=±10

4. x²-144=0

x²=144

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{144}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(12)^2}$

x=±12

5. 2s²=50

$\frac{2s^2}{2} =\frac{50}{2}\\s^2=25\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{(5)^2}$

s=±5 ..

Jacob has a bag of his favorite marbles. It has 3 red marbles, 4 blue, and 10 of his most favorite color, neon orange. What is t

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$P(1\ and\ 2) = 0.3309$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red = 3$

$Blue = 4$

$Orange=10$

Required

Probability of selecting 2 orange marbles

The total number of marbles is:

$Total = Red + Blue + Orange$

$Total = 3 + 4 + 10$

$Total = 17$

The probability that the first selection is orange is:

$P(1) = \frac{10}{17}$

Because it is a selection without replacement, the number of orange marbles and the total number of marbles would decrease by 1, respectively.

So, the probability that the selection is orange is:

$P(2) = \frac{10-1}{17-1}$

$P(2) = \frac{9}{16}$

The required probability is:

$P(1\ and\ 2) = P(1) * P(2)$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = \frac{10}{17} * \frac{9}{16}$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = \frac{10*9}{17*16}$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = \frac{90}{272}$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = 0.3309$
