One manufacturer boxes screws so that each box weighs the same no matter what size the screws are. The graph shows the amount of

allowed weight remaining in a given shipment depending on the number of boxes of screws already included.
What does the y-intercept represent in this situation?
the maximum weight allowed in a shipment
the minimum weight of a single box of screws
the minimum number of screws in a single box
the maximum number of single boxes for a shipment

Because x is the number of boxes in the shipment, we conclude that the correct option is "the maximum weight allowed in a shipment"

<h3>What does the y-intercept mean in this case?</h3>

Remember that for a function f(x), the y-intercept is given by f(0).

In this case, the graph represents the amount of allowed weight remaining in a shipment depending on the number of boxes of screws included.

Then the variable x represents "the number of boxes of screws in the shipment".

So when x = 0, there are no boxes.

Then the y-intercepts represents the remaining weight when there are no boxes of screws, which would be all the allowed weight on the shipment.

The correct option is:

"the maximum weight allowed in a shipment"

The statistics of nequals22 and sequals14.3 result in this​ 95% confidence interval estimate of sigma​: 11.0less thansigmaless t
dimulka [17.4K]
Answer: no, the confidence interval for the standard deviation σ cannot be expressed as 15.7 \pm 4.7

There are three ways in which you can possibly express a confidence interval:

1) inequality
The two extremities of the interval will be each on one side of the "less then" symbol (the smallest on the left, the biggest on the right) and the symbol for the standard deviation (σ) will be in the middle:
11.0 < σ < 20.4
This is the first interval given in the question and it means <span>that the standard deviation can vary between 11.0 and 20.4

2) interval
</span>The two extremities will be inside a couple of round parenthesis, separated by a comma, always <span>the smallest on the left and the biggest on the right:
(11.0, 20.4)
This is the second interval given in the question.

3) point estimate </span><span>\pm margin of error</span>
This is the most common way to write a confidence interval because it shows straightforwardly some important information. 
However, this way can be used only for the confidence interval of the mean or of the popuation, not for he confidence interval of the variance or of the standard deviation.

This is due to the fact that in order to calculate the confidence interval of the standard variation (and similarly of the variance), you need to apply the formula:
\sqrt{ \frac{(n-1) s^{2} }{\chi^{2}_{\alpha / 2} } } \leq \sigma \leq \sqrt{ \frac{(n-1) s^{2} }{\chi^{2}_{1 - \alpha / 2} } }

which involves a χ² distribution, which is not a symmetric function. For this reason, the confidence interval we obtain is not symmetric around the point estimate and the third option cannot be used to express it.

The ratio to cats at an animal shelter 3:1. if there are 56 dogs and cats in all, how many more dogs than cats are there??
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

There are 28 more dogs than cats at the animal shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 3:1, that means there are 3 dogs for every 1 cat.

The way I think about it is I try multiplying every number by 3 and 1, kind of like process of elimination.

After using every number from 1-13, I finally got to 14. Now, 3 x 14 = 42 and 1 x 14 = 14. Add 42 + 14 and you will get 56.

So there are 42 dogs and 14 cats at the animal shelter.

However, it is asking for how many more dogs than cats there are, so you have to subtract 42 - 14 and the answer is 28 more dogs than cats.
