Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the HCF/GCF of 36, 48, and 72. The HCF is 12. So, there will be 12 stacks of books. This is a simple example of HCF. Please mark me as brainliest. Thanks

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF of 36, 48, and 72 is 12 so there will be 36 / 12 = 3 stacks of English books, 48 / 12 = 4 stacks of science books and 72 / 12 = 6 stacks of math books for a total of 3 + 4 + 6 = 13 stacks.

Given that a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all adult males in Idaho measured in inches was [62.532, 76.478]. Us
grigory [225]

Answer:

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

\bar X represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma represent the population standard deviation  

n represent the sample size  

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution  

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

An empty can weighs 30 grams. The weight of the same can filled with liquid is 47.3 grams. Which equation could be used to find
Alika [10]

Answer:

w = y - x is the equation to find w

Where,

w = Weight of the liquid

x = Weight of the empty can

y = Weight of the can with liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Weight of the empty can = x

Weight of the liquid = w

Weight of the can with liquid = x + w = y

x= 30 grams

w = ?

y= 47.3 grams

y = x + w

w = y - x

= 47.3 - 30

= 17.3

w= 17.3 grams

Therefore, the weight of the liquid is 17 .3 grams
