Answer:

84th days they will meet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The health inspector visits every 7 days, and the fire inspector visits every 12 days.

Part (A) Make a table for the next 4 visits for each inspector.

The required table is shown below:

Health inspector: 7, 14, 21, 28

Fire inspector: 12, 24, 36, 48

Part (B) In how many days will both inspectors visit on the same day?

In order to find the solution of this problem we need to find the LCM of the both number as shown:

7= 1×7

12=2×2×3

Now the LCM of the numbers are: 2×2×3×7=84

Hence, on 84th days they will meet.

Health inspector - every 7 days.
fire inspector - every 12 days.

a) health inspector fire inspector.
day 7. day 12.
day 14. day 24.
day 21. day 36.
day 28. day 48.
day 35. day 60.

b) 12 x 7 = 84.

it will be the same on day 84

Answer:

Her answer is wrong because she the object cannot hit the ground at negative seconds. She could’ve have used other methods because she used the quadratic formula. The advantages is that it works for every situation. The disadvantages is that it takes longer. She should’ve used a different method.

Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) We can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval

(3) A survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 48% said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college = 48%

n = sample of American adults = 331

p = population proportion of Americans who decide to not go to

college because they cannot afford it

<em>Here for constructing a 90% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test for proportions.</em>

<em />

<u>So, 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;</u>

P(-1.645 < N(0,1) < 1.645) = 0.90 {As the critical value of z at 5% level

of significance are -1.645 & 1.645}

P(-1.645 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.645) = 0.90

P( $-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < $\hat p-p$ < $1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

P( $\hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

<u>90% confidence interval for p</u> = [ $\hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.48 -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } }$ , $0.48 +1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } }$ ]

= [0.4348, 0.5252]

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval.

3) Now, it is given that we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

So, the margin of error = $Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$

$0.015 = 1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n} }$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645 \times \sqrt{0.48 \times 0.52} }{0.015}$

$\sqrt{n}$ = 54.79

n = $54.79^{2}$

n = 3001.88 ≈ 3002

Hence, a survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

To prepare for a triathlon, Amanda starts from position A and rides her bike along a straight road for 12 miles to reach positio

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw the given information first for better understanding . Check the image attached.

We can use cosine rule to find the angles .

for angle A ,

$Cos A =\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$

$Cos A =\frac{20^2+12^2-15^2}{2*20*12}$

$Cos A =\frac{319}{480}$

m∠A = 48.35 degrees

Similarly for angle B

$Cos B =\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2bc}$

$Cos B =\frac{15^2+12^2-20^2}{2*15*12}$

$Cos B =\frac{-31}{360}$

m∠B = 94.94 degrees

Now use A+B+C=180 degrees

48.35+94.94+C=180

C=180-48.35-94.94

m∠C = 36.71 degrees
