Answer:

18 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Each cat eats 1/4 of the thin in a day, so between the two cats they eat:

of the tin in one day.

if the two cats eat 1/2 of the tin in one day, this means that in 2 days they eat a whole tin of cat food.

we can represent this as follows

days tins of cat food

2 1

and because she has 9 tins of cat food, and x represents the quantity of days:

days tins of cat food

2 1

x 9

thus, we must multiply cross quantities from the table and divide by the remaining amount:

x = 2*9/1 = 18

the 9 tins of cat food will last 18 days

If the scores on a test have a mean of 26 and a standard deviation of 4, what is the z-score for a mean of 18?

levacccp [35]

Z(x)=(x- mean) / standard deviation

Z(18)=(18-26)/4=-2

Jessa works at a potato chip factory and would like to estimate the mean weight in grams of the factory's potato

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think there was a small typing error, we have that $\sigma = 60$ is the standard deviation of these weighs.

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

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

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

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Which of these is the smallest approximate sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error?

This sample size is n.

n is found when $M = 15$

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$15 = 1.645*\frac{60}{\sqrt{n}}$

$15\sqrt{n} = 1.645*60$

Simplifying by 15

$\sqrt{n} = 1.645*4$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (1.645*4)^{2}$

$n = 43.3$

Rounding up

The smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error is 44.

Nelly owns farm land that has an area of 4.2 × 102 acres. Each year, the farm produces 6.72 × 104 bushels of corn. What is the a

juin [17]

The average amount of corn produced per acre represented in scientific notation can be found using the below formula:

$The \;average\; amount\; of\; corn\; per\; acre=\frac{Bushels \; of\; corn\; produced\; in\; farm}{Area\; of\; farm\; in\; acres}$

We are given:

$Area \; of\; FARM\; land= 4.2 \times 10^2 \; acres\\ \\ Amount \; of\; corn\; produced=6.72\; \times \; 10^4 \; bushels$

Substituting the above information in the formula, we get...

$The \; Average\; amount\; of\; corn=\frac{6.72 \times 10^4}{4.2 \times 10^2} \\ \\ \frac{6.72}{4.2} \times \frac{10^4}{10^2}\; =\; 1.6 \times 10^{4-2}\; =\; 1.6 \times 10^2\\ \\$

Conclusion:

$The \; Average \; amount\; of \; corn \; is\; 1.6 \times 10^2 \; Bushes\; per\; corn$

The average amount of corn produced per acre represented in scientific notation is option B) $1.6 \times 10^2$ bushels per acre
