Answer:

the amount of ferrous sulphate child will digest = 213.3 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of FEOSOL Elixir swallowed by child = 1.6 Fluid ounces

= 1.6 x 29.57 ml

= 47.312 ml

$\textrm{Amount of ferrous sulphate contained in 5 ml of of solution}=\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ grams$

$\textrm{So, amount of ferrous sulphate contained in 1 ml of solution}\ =\ \dfrac{2}{3\times 5}$

$=\ \dfrac{2}{15}$

$\textrm{So,the amount of ferrous sulphate contained in the 1.6 ml of FEROSOL}=1.6\times \dfrac{2}{15}$

$=\ \dfrac{3.2}{15}$

= 0.2133 gram

= 213.3 mg

So, the amount of ferrous sulphate child will digest = 213.3 mg

Write an exponential function in the form y<br> and (3,72).<br> ab" that goes through points (0,9)

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

$y=9 ( {2}^{x} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the exponential function be

$y = a {b}^{x}$

We substitute (0,9) to get:

$9 = a {b}^{0}$

$9 = a(1)$

$a = 9$

The equation now becomes:

$y = 9 {b}^{x}$

We substitute (3,72) to get:

$72 =9 {b}^{3}$

$8={b}^{3} \\ {2}^{3} = {b}^{3}$

$b = 2$

The equation is therefore

$y=9 ( {2}^{x} )$

A manufacturer of paper coffee cups would like to estimate the proportion of cups that are defective (tears, broken seems, etc.)

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is $0.0503 < p < 0.1297$

b

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.09$

c

The critical value is $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

d

The standard error is $SE =0.020$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 200

The number of defective is k = 18

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p = 0.08$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p > 0.08$

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as

$\r p = \frac{18}{200}$

$\r p = 0.09$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5\%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{ \alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table, the value is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the standard of error is mathematically represented as

$SE = \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1 - \r p)}{n} }$

substituting values

$SE = \sqrt{\frac{0.09 (1 - 0.09)}{200} }$

$SE =0.020$

The margin of error is

$E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * SE$

=> $E = 1.96 * 0.020$

=> $E = 0.0397$

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\r p - E < \mu < p < \r p + E$

=> $0.09 - 0.0397 < \mu < p < 0.09 + 0.0397$

=> $0.0503 < p < 0.1297$

Researchers from Dartmouth Medical School conducted a study in 2003 to look at the connection between watching actors smoking in

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies is (0.37, 0.40).

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is an interval estimate of the population parameter. The confidence interval has a certain probability of consisting the true value of the parameter.

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for the population proportion (<em>p</em>) is given by:

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

The information provided is:

$n = 6522\\\hat p=0.38\\z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the critical value.

Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies as follows:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.38\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{6522}}\\=0.38\pm 0.0118\\=(0.3682, 0.3918)\\\approx (0.37, 0.40)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies is (0.37, 0.40).

Franklin rides his bike to the beach averaging 18mph. He rides home along the same route. What speed must he average on the way

Sedaia [141]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em> 24 mph</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there ! </em>

<em>Vm = 21mph</em>

<em>V1 = 18mph</em>

<em>V2 = ?</em>

<em>Vm = (V₁ + V₂)/2</em>

<em>2Vm = V₁ + V₂</em>

<em>V₂ = 2Vm - V₁</em>

<em>replace Vm ; V₁</em>

<em>V₂ = 2×21mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 42mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 24 mph</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>

hich uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior, has determined that machine hours best predict the company's total ut

Crank

Answer:

1)- Variable utilities cost per machine hour = 1.6 per machine hour

2)- Fixed cost = 1740

3)-Total cost on 1220 Machine hour will be

= 3692

Step-by-step explanation:

1) CALCULATE VARIABLE UTILITIES COST PER MACHINE HOUR :

Variable utilities cost per machine hour = Change in cost/high machine hour-low machine hour

=4076-3388/1460-1030

Variable utilities cost per machine hour = 1.6 per machine hour

2) Fixed cost = Total cost-variable cost

= 3388-(1030*1.6)

Fixed cost = 1740

3) Total cost on 1220 Machine hour will be (1220*1.6+1740) = 3692
