You can multiply each of the decimals by 100 to make them a whole number. Hope this helped!

vladimir1956 [14]

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.

D=4n-2, d+2=4n-2+2, d+2=4n
(d+2)/4=(4n)/4, 1/4d+1/2=n
n=1/4n+1/2

size 3=
n=1/4*3/1=3/4, 3/4+1/2=5/4=1 1/4
size 3=1 1/4

size 6=
n=1/4*6/1=6/4, 6/4+1/2=8/4=2
size 6=2

size 10=
n=1/4*10/1=10/4, 10/4+1/2=12/4=3

the performance score of 10 adults is recorded, and the results are 83 87 90 92 93 100 104 111 115 121 find the standard deviati

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the data set is $\sigma = 12.7906$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are. Its symbol is σ (the greek letter sigma)

To find the standard deviation of the following data set

$\begin{array}{cccccccc}83&87&90&92&93&100&104&111\\115&121&&&&&&\end{array}$

we use the following formula

$\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2 }}{n-1} }$

Step 1: Find the mean $\left( \overline{X} \right)$ .

The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

$Mean = \frac{Sum ~ of ~ terms}{Number ~ of ~ terms}$

$Mean = \frac{Sum ~ of ~ terms}{Number ~ of ~ terms}=\frac{83+87+90+92+93+100+104+111+115+121}{10} \\\\Mean = \frac{996}{10} =\frac{498}{5}=99.6$

Step 2: Create the below table.

Step 3: Find the sum of numbers in the last column to get.

$\sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2} = 1472.4$

Step 4: Calculate σ using the above formula.

$\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2 }}{n-1} } = \sqrt{ \frac{ 1472.4 }{ 10 - 1} } \approx 12.7906$

A taxi cab charges $0.55 per mile in addition to a $1.75 flat rate fee. Susie has $10 to spend on a taxi cab ride. The taxi driv

Olenka [21]

The taxi driver doesn't give anyone a ride unless it's 2 miles away, as such you need to add at least $0.55x2 in addition to the $1.75 at the start
1.75+(0.55x2)=2.85
As Susie only has 10 dollars to spend, she can't exceed that. So Susie must spend more than $2.85(minimum from the taxi) and less than $10(her money)
so,
$2.85<Susie<$10

Graph f(x)=−0.5x+3. Use the line tool and select two points to graph the line.

NikAS [45]

Answer: These are some points of the grahp:

(-2,4)

(0, 3)

(2, 2)

Explanation:

1) f(x) = -0.5x + 3, is the equation of the form y = mx + b

2) y = mx + b is slope-intercept equation of a line where the slope is m and the y-intercept is b, so, f(x) = - 0.5x + b has slope m = -0.5 and y-intercept b = 3.

3) To graph f(x) = -0.5x + 3, follow these steps:

draw two perpedicular axis: vertical axis, labeled y, and horizontal axis, labeled x.
draw marks on each axis, each mark equivalent to one unit.
the intersection point of the vertical and horizontal axis is the origin, i.e. point (0,0).
you can make a table with two or more points:

x f(x) = - 0.5x + 3

-2 4

0 3

2 2

4 1

6 0

4) You can see the graph in the figure attached, and select any of the points on the line either by using the table or by using the equation f(x) = -0.5x + 3.
