Calculate the unit price of Brand B: 2 3/4 = 2.75; 3.91/2.75 is approximately $1.42 per pound. Calculate the unit price of Brand C: 910 grams is approximately 2 pounds; 3.10/2 is approximately $1.50 per pound. Comparing the unit prices, Brand B has the cheaper unit price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval:

x% confidence

Of a sample

Between a and b.

Interpretation: We are x% sure(or there is a x% probability/chance) that the population mean is between a and b.

In this question:

I suppose(due to the options) there was a small typing mistake, and we have a 98% confidence interval between 0.56 and 0.62.

Interpreation: We are 98% sure, or there is a 98% chance, that the true population proportion of customers who click on ads on their smartphones is between 0.56 and 0.62. Option d.

The combined ages of a dog and his owner are 96 years in total. The owner is 3 times older than his dog. How old is the owner?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

72 yrs old.

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined age

D+O=96

The owner is 3 times older than dog

O=3D

D+3D=96

4D = 96

D= 24

Now substitute the value of D in O=3D

O=3.24= 72

The owner is 72 years old.

The heights of students at a college are normally distributed with a mean of 175 cm and a standard deviation of 6 cm. One might
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 175cm

Standard deviation = 6 cm

Percentage of students below 163 cm

163 = 175 - 2*6

So 163 is two standard deviations below the mean.

By the Empirical rule, 95% of the heights are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The other 100-95 = 5% are more than 2 standard deviations of the mean. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, 2.5% of them are more than 2 standard deviations below the mean(so below 163cm) and 2.5% are more than two standard deviations above the mean.

2.5% of the students have heights less than 163cm.

Out of 1000

0.025*1000 = 25

25 is the answer

borishaifa [10]

Answer: x+y\geq 1, x>\frac{1}{4} ,  x\geq 2y and y\geq 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  x represents the number of hours Zoe spent running on her wheel and y represents the number of hours spent scratching her cage.

Julie was awoke for at least an hour running on her exercise wheel and scratching the of her cage.

⇒ x+y\geq 1

She ran on her wheel at least twice as long as she scratched at the corners of her cage.

⇒ x\geq 2y

Also, She spent more than 1/4 hour running on her wheel.

⇒ x>\frac{1}{4}

And, we know that number of hours can not be negative.

⇒  y\geq 0

Therefore, the complete system of inequality which shows the given situation is,

x+y\geq 1, x>\frac{1}{4} and x\geq 2y, y\geq 0

Note: the feasible region ( covered by the given system) is shown in the below graph.
