Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: if they lose yards every 5 minutes you add 2 yards for every five minutes 5 times 3 = 15 3 times 2 = 6

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

t = 0.53 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

We write expressions for the distances walked by these two people, sum them up and set the sum equal to 4 miles:

(3.5 mph)(t) + (4mph)(t) = 4 mi

Combining these terms:

(7.5 mph)(t) = 4 mi

4 mi

Solving for t: t = ---------------- = 0.53 hr

7.5 mph

Of the 500 sample households in the previous exercise, 7 had three or more large-screen TVs. (a) The percentage of households in

likoan [24]

Answer:

a) The percentage of households in the town with three or more largescreen TVs is estimated as :

The best estimation for the population proportion is :

$\hat p=\frac{7}{500}=0.014$

And that represent the 1.4%.

b) And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.00370;0.0243).

And the % would be between 0.37% and 2.43%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=500 represent the random sample taken

X=7 represent the households with three or more large-screen TVs

$\hat p=\frac{7}{500}=0.014$ estimated proportion of households with three or more large-screen TVs

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p= population proportion of households with three or more large-screen TVs

Part a

The percentage of households in the town with three or more largescreen TVs is estimated as :

The best estimation for the population proportion is :

$\hat p=\frac{7}{500}=0.014$

And that represent the 1.4%.

Part b

Yes is possible. We hav that $np>10$ and $n(1-p)>10$ so we have the assumption of normality to find the interval.

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.014 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.014(1-0.014)}{500}}=0.00370$

$0.014 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.014(1-0.014)}{500}}=0.0243$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.00370;0.0243).

And the % would be between 0.37% and 2.43%.

2.8 meters linen divided into 45 cm pieces = # of pieces and waste

pogonyaev

2.8 meter= 2800cms

To solve this, we can create a simple algebraic equation:
45x=2800
Divide both sides by 45.
(45x)/45=(2800)/45
x=62.222

You can make 62 full pieces.

To find the waste, multiply the numbers of pieces by the length of each.
62*45
=2790
2800-<span>2790
=10 centimeters

There would be 10 centimeters of wasted linen.

Hope this helps!

Using everyday knowledge, indicate whether the if-then statements are correct forward-only or both forward and reverse.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

1. Both forward and backward

2. Only forward

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason Statement 1 can be both forward and reverse is because is Bo and Mel are related then it will word forward and backward.

The reason Statement 2 can be only forward is because is the sprinklers are on then the grass is wet will work since it is saying ONLY the sprinklers are on. If it is reverse and the grass is wet if the sprinklers are ONLY on than that is false since if it rains than the grass can also be wet. So there are multiple ways that the grass can be wet hence the answers.
