Answer:

(351.04, 368.96)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that population mean= 360

Std devitaion = 4

margin of error = 2.5%= 0.025

Since population std deviation is known we can use Z critical value

For two tailed critical value for 2.5% would be

2.24

Margin of error = ±Critical value*std deviation

= ±2.24(4)

= ±8.96

Confidence interval =(Mean - margin of error, mean + margin of error)

= $(360-8.96, 360+8,.96)\\= (351.04, 368.96)$

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

$m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=16$ -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

$m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}$

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

$m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

$point\ (3, 1)$

substitute

$y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)$

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=-(x-5)$

$4y-4=-x+5$

$x-4y=-4-5$

$x-4y=-9$

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The <u>independent variable</u> is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The <u>dependent variable</u> it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost

Answer:

It could be purely due to chance.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population is defined as the whole group which has the same characteristics. For example a population of the college belongs to the same college . But a sample may be an element of a population.

So it is not necessary for a population to have the same characteristics as the sample.

But it is essential for the sample to have at least one same characteristics as the population.

So we would not be correct in inferring that such a relationship also exists in the population.

It is a hypothesis which can be true or false due to certain conditions or limitations as the case maybe.

For example in a population of smokers some may be in the habit of taking cocaine. But a sample of cocaine users does not mean the whole population uses it.

It could be purely due to chance if we find out that there is a relationship between parents’ and children’s party identification in the population.

Shawn has 4 nickles. How many walnuts can he buy if he spends all 4 nickels?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

This really depends.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a walnut costs 10 cents, he can buy 2 walnuts.

If a walnut costs 5 cents, he can buy 4.

If a walnut costs 20 cents, he can buy 3.
