The <u>correct answer</u> is:

0.08.

Explanation:

To calculate the BAC, we first find the amount of alcohol (in grams) of the drinks.  In the US, a standard drink has 14 g of alcohol.  The man has 2 beers and 1 shot; this is 3 standard drinks:
3*14 = 42

This has 42 g of alcohol.

Next we convert the weight in pounds to grams.  We do this by multiplying by 454:
140*454 = 63560

Next we multiply by the gender constant.  For men, this is 0.68:
63560(0.68) = 43220.8

We divide the grams of alcohol by this number:
42/43220.8 = 0.000972

Multiply this by 100:
0.000972(100) = 0.0972

This is the BAC right after drinking.  To account for the time that has passed, we multiply the number of hours by 0.015:
1(0.015) = 0.015

We subtract this from our immediate BAC:
0.0972-0.015 = 0.0822 ≈ 0.08

Around .8 B.A.C because if you look at scales online a 12 ounce beer is one drink and a 1 1/2 oz. shot is another full drinks. So that's 3 drinks which means its around a .8 for a 140 pound man.

Ken normally leaves work at 5:00 pm, but he is leaving 20 minutes late today. He decides to make up time by taking the toll road
NemiM [27]

Answer:

y =1/3x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

He starts 20 minutes late so we need to add 20 minutes to the time

He travels 3 times faster so he takes 1/3 of the normal time x

y =1/3x+20

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval would be given by (57.006;62.994)  

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=60 represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma=10 represent the population standard deviation  

n=30 represent the sample size  

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution  

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma=10)

The sample mean \bar X is distributed on this way:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})  

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

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

The next step would be find the value of \z_{\alpha/2}, \alpha=1-0.90=0.1,\alpha/2 =0.05 and z_\alpha/2=1.64  

Using the normal standard table, excel or a calculator we see that:  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

Since we have all the values we can replace:

60 - 1.64\frac{10}{\sqrt{30}}=57.006  

60 + 1.64\frac{10}{\sqrt{30}}=62.994  

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (57.006;62.994)

Carissa counts by 5s from 32 to 62. Which number does carissa count?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

32, 37, 42, 47, 52, 57, 62.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Carissa counts by 5s from 32 to 62.

It means, we have to add 5 in the number to get the next number.

Add 5 in 32.

32+5=37

Now, add 5 in 37.

37+5=42

Similarly, continue the process.

42+5=47

47+5=52

52+5=57

57+5=62

Therefore, the numbers counted by carissa are 32, 37, 42, 47, 52, 57, 62.

andrew-mc [135]
A straight line parallel to another is one that has the same slope. The generic equation of a line can be written as y-yo = m (x-xo). If we look for a parallel line that passes through the point (8.0). We should look for a line with the values m = -0.75, xo = 8, yo = 0. Substituting in the generic equation, we have that the line sought is y = -0.75 (x-8)

A function is expressed by the equation y=0.3x−6. For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be e
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

0; 10; 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the independent variable

y is the dependent variable

y is dependent on x

a) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −6

y=0.3x−6

-6 = 0.3x-6

0=0.3x

x = 0

Therefore, if the independent variable is 0, the value of the function will be -6.

b) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −3

y=0.3x−6

-3 = 0.3x-6

0.3x = -3+6

0.3x = 3

x = 3/0.3

x = 10

Therefore, if the independent variable is 10, the value of the function will be -3.

c) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to 0.

y=0.3x−6

0=0.3x-6

6 = 0.3x

x = 6/0.3

x = 20

Therefore, if the independent variable is 20, the value of the function will be 0.
