Answer:

864.36 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, we are given the following values,

Confidence interval 95%

Since we know the confidence interval, we can find the score.

Z score = 1.96

σ , Standards deviation = 15mm

Margin of error = 1 mm

The formula to use to solve the above question is given as:

No of boxes =[ (z score × standard deviation)/ margin of error]²

No of boxes = [(1.96 × 15)/1]²

= 864.36 boxes

Based on the options above, we can round it up to 97 boxes.

4. The data shows the number of siblings each student in a 9th-grade class has.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is Mean and standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set provided, arranged in ascending order is:

S = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 4}

Now, it is provided that Macy was absent when the data was collected and the class guessed she had 4 siblings. When  she returned, they found out she actually has 9 siblings.

So, the new data set is:

X = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 9}

The mean of a data set is the average value representing the entire data.

\bar X=\frac{1}{n}\sum X_{i}

The median is the middle value of the data set.

The inter-quartile range is the difference between the first and the third quartile.

The standard deviation is the value that represents how dispersed the data values are.

SD=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum (X_{i}-\bar X)^{2}}

From all the above statistic, the mean and standard deviation are the only ones that uses all the observations in the data set to compute their value.

So, on changing one of the 4s by a 9, the set of measures that will be affected are the mean and standard deviation.

Thus, the correct option is Mean and standard deviation.

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

Shen’s mother gave him $10 to go buy groceries. He picked up a gallon of milk for $3.49, three pounds of oranges that cost $1.14
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

He estimated there were about $10.40 worth of groceries

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to round the prices up to the nearest tenth and then add them all.

3.50

3.50

1.15

1.15

1.15

___

10.45

So 10.45 is closest to 10.40 and you have to remeber that this is just an estimate so it will be less because we rounded the answer up.

Hope this helps
