A major tire manufacturer wishes to estimate the mean tread life in miles for one of its tires. It wishes to develop a confidenc

e interval estimate that would have a maximum sampling error of 500 miles with 90 percent confidence. A pilot sample of n=50 tires showed a sample standard deviation equal to​ 4,000 miles. Based on this​ information, what is the required sample​ size?

Answer:

The required sample​ size is n=8,660.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the minimum sample size that will give us a maximum margin of error of 500 miles, with a 90% confidence.

A pilot sample of n=50 give a sample standard deviation of 4,000 miles.

With the pilot sample we can calculate the population standard deviation as:

\sigma_M=\sigma/\sqrt{n }\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{n}\sigma_M=\sqrt{50}*4,000=7.071*4,000=28,284

The equation for the margin of error is:

E=z\cdot \sigma/\sqrt{n}

The z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.645.

Then, we can estimate the sample size as:

n=\left(\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{E}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{1.645\cdot 28,284}{500}\right)^2=93.06^2=8,659.28\approx8,660

The Z-value for a 90 percent confidence is 1.645

To find the sample size use the formula:

Sample size = Z-value x SD / error)^2

Using the provided information:

SD = 4,000 miles

Error = 500 miles

Sample size = ((1.645) (4000)/ 500)^2 = 173.18 = 174

Answer: (15.263,\ 17.537)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, we have

Sample size : n= 50

\overline{x}=16.40

s=4.00

Since population standard deviation is unknown, so we use t-test.

Critical value for  95 percent confidence interval  :

t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{49, 0.025}= 2.009575\approx2.010

Confidence interval : \overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

16.40\pm (2.010)\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=16.40\pm1.13702770415\\\\=16.40\pm1.1370\\\\=(16.40-1.1370,\ 16.40+1.1370)\\\\=(15.263,\ 17.537)

Required 95% confidence interval :  (15.263,\ 17.537)

Which products result in a difference of squares or a perfect square trinomial? Check all that apply.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Option B) (7x+4)(7x+4) is correct

The product result in a perfect square trinomial is

(7x+4)(7x+4)=49x^2+56x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x+4)(7x+4)=(7x+4)^2 ( using (a+b)(a+b)=(a+b)^2 )

=(7x)^2+2(7x)(4)+4^2 ( using (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 )

=7^2x^2+56x+16

=49x^2+56x+14

Therefore (7x+4)(7x+4)=49x^2+56x+14

which is a perfect square trinomial

A trinomial is a perfect square trinomial if it can be factored into a binomial multiplied to itself. In a perfect square trinomial, two terms will be perfect squares.

Option B) (7x+4)(7x+4) is correct

The product result in a perfect square trinomial is

(7x+4)(7x+4)=49x^2+56x+14

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
