About 1407 sharks would be needed to have a margin of error of 0.25

<h3>What is margin of error?</h3>

Margin of error is used to determine by what value there is deviation from the real value. Margin of error (E) is given by:

E=Z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{standard\ deviation}{\sqrt{sample\ size} }

The 90% confidence level have a z score of 1.645. Hence for E = 0.25, standard deviation = 5.7 feet, hence:

0.25=1.645*\frac{5.7}{\sqrt{sample\ size}}\\ \\sample\ size=1407

About 1407 sharks would be needed to have a margin of error of 0.25

If a square has an area of 196 square feet. what is the perimeter of the sandbox?
IRINA_888 [86]
The area of a rectangular shape is found my multiplying the base x height. Since squares have the same measure all the way around the base must be equal to height so b x h for a square is equal to (b x b)=b^2 or (h x h)^2 they are the same to using b for base we have b^2=196 so sqrt(196) = each side is 14sqft. To find the perimeter we just add all the sides to get (14+14+14+14) or (14*4)= 56sqft.

Greta read a 900 pages book in 15 days, reading for 5 hours every day. How many pages did she read per hour
allsm [11]
First, let's find how many page's Greta read per day. She read a total of 900 pages across 15 days, so she read:

900 pages / 15 days = 60 pages/day

Now we can find how many pages she read per hour by dividing the 60 pages per day by 5 hours:

60 / 5 = 12 pages/hour

The answer is 12 pages.

Derek had 104 more stamps than Ahmad. Derek then gave 1/9 of his stamps to
Flauer [41]

Answer:

  117

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of stamps Derek had at first. After he gave 1/9 of his stamps to Ahmad, Ahmad had (d -104) +(d/9). Derek had 4 times this number after giving away d/9 stamps:

  (d -d/9) = 4((d -104) +d/9)

  (8/9)d = 4d -416 +(4/9)d

  416 = (32/9)d . . . . add 416 -8/9d

  117 = d . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 9/32

Derek had 117 stamps at first.

_____

<em>Check</em>

1/9 of Derek's collection is 13 stamps. 104 less than Derek's collection is 13 stamps.

So, Ahmad started with 13 stamps and was given 13 stamps by Derek. Meanwhile, Derek started with 117 stamps and gave away 13, so ended with 104 stamps. That number (104) is 4 times Ahmad's new number (26), as it should be.
