Answer:

Eric's earning is $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Robert's earnings with R and Eric's with E.

$R = 10\\R = 2E - 4$

Required

What is the value of E?

Substitute 10 for R in the second equation.

$10 = 2E - 4$

Solve for 2E

$2E = 10 + 4$

$2E = 14$

Solve for E

$E = 14/2$

$E = 7$

<em>Eric's earning is $7</em>

Digiron [165]

Since two points are given, we can use the distance formula in order to know hpw far is it from Texmath to Lonestar Village. Distance formula is written as

Distance = $\sqrt{ ( x_{2} - x_{1} )^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1} )^{2} }$

Substituting the values, we have:

Distance = $\sqrt{ ( 9-2 )^{2} +(16-2)^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{7^2 +14^2}$

= √245 = 15.65 units

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval the average maximum power is (596.0 to 644.0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Average maximum of the sample = x = 620 HP

Standard Deviation = s = 45 HP

Sample size = n = 16

We have to calculate the 95% confidence interval. The value of Population standard deviation is unknown, and value of sample standard deviation is known. Therefore, we will use one sample t-test to build the confidence interval.

Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 15

Critical t-value associated with 95% confidence interval and 15 degrees of freedom, as seen from t-table = $t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}$ = 2.131

The formula to calculate the confidence interval is:

$(x-t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} } \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }, x+t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} } \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} })$

We have all the required values. Substituting them in the above expression, we get:

$(620-2.131 \times \frac{45}{\sqrt{16} }, 620+2.131 \times \frac{45}{\sqrt{16} })\\\\ =(596.0 , 644.0)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval the average maximum power is (596.0 to 644.0)
