The length of the rope Kurt started with is 13 1/3 inches

<h3>Calculating lengths </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the total length of the rope

From the given information,

The first piece was 4 4/5 inches long

and

The second piece was 8 1/2 inches long

Then,

The length of the rope Kurt started with will be

4 4/5 + 8 1/2

$4\frac{4}{5} + 8\frac{1}{2}$

First, convert the fractions into improper fractions

$\frac{24}{5} + \frac{17}{2}$

The Lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators is 10.

Then, we get

$\frac{(2\times 24) + (5 \times 17)}{10}$

= $\frac{48 + 85}{10}$

= $\frac{133}{10}$

= $13 \frac{1}{3}$

Hence, the length of the rope Kurt started with is 13 1/3 inches.

If a manufacturer conducted a survey among randomly selected target market households and wanted to be 95% confident that the d

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

We need a sample size of least 119

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

Sample size needed

At least n, in which n is found when $M = 0.09$

We don't know the proportion, so we use $\pi = 0.5$ , which is when we would need the largest sample size.

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.09 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.09\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09})^{2}$

$n = 118.6$

Rounding up

We need a sample size of least 119

Julie used her gift card for the local coffee shop to buy iced teas for herself and five friends. After she and one friend place

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

One glass of iced tea cost $2.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the amount of gift card.

y be the amount of one glass of iced tea.

According to given statement;

Julie and her friend bought tea and remaining balance was $14.85

x - 2y = $14.85 Eqn 1

All the six members bought tea and remaining balance was $3.97

x - 6y = $3.97 Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

$(x-2y)-(x-6y)=14.85-3.97\\x-2y-x+6y=10.88\\4y=10.88$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{10.88}{4}\\y=2.72$

Hence,

One glass of iced tea cost $2.72
