Answer:

25 posts

Step-by-step explanation:

So the number of fence post would be the total length of the log divided by the length of each post. As the log is 16m and is corrected to the nearest metre, it could possibly be 16.499m. As for the post that is 70 cm long and corrected to the nearest 10cm, it may as well be 65 cm (or 0.65m) each post

So the max number of fence point once can possibly cut from the log would be

16.499 / 0.65 = 25 posts

Simplify the equation: 4+x^2=196

--> x^2=192

--> x=13.85

A doctor is measuring the average height of male students at a large college. The doctor measures the heights, in inches, of a s
denpristay [2]

Answer:

For this case the  95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (3)  

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=40-1=39

For this case the  95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

a rectangular piece of paper 71 cm long and 10m wide . a cylinder is formed by rolling the paper along its length , find volume
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Volume=355 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume it should be 10 cm, not 10 m.  If it is 10 m, everything will have to be adjusted.

Circumference = 2\pir

10=2\pir

10÷2\pi=r

1.59=r

V=\pir²h

V=\pi(1.59)(71)

v=355

math help ! Will give branliest !! At a car and truck dealership, the probability that a vehicle is white is 0.25 . The probabil
defon

Answer:

As per the statement:

Let  Event A represents the probability that a vehicle is white and Event B  represents the probability that it is a pick up truck .

then;

P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.15

It is also given that:

The Probability that it is a white pick up truck is 0.06.

⇒P(A \cap B) = 0.06 where A \cap B represents that it is white pick up truck.

We have to find the the probability that the vehicle is white {given that the vehicle is a pickup truck}

We use the formula:

P(A/B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

where

A/B represents that the pick up truck vehicle is white.

Substitute the given values we get;

P(A/B) = \frac{0.06}{0.15} = 0.4

Therefore,  the probability that the vehicle is white, given that the vehicle is a pickup truck is 0.4
