A medical devices company wants to know the number of hours its MRI machines are used per day. A previous study found a standard

deviation of six hours. How many MRI machines must the company find data for in order to have a margin of error of at most 0.70 hour when calculating a 98% confidence interval

The company has to study 199 machines.

In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.

It is given that;

Margin of error E = 0.7

Confidence interval 98% = 1-0.98 = 0.02

Standard deviation = 6 hours

Number of MRI machines needed per day n, = [(z alpha/2 * SD)/E]²

Z alpha/2 = 1.645 at alpha = 0.1

Inputting these values into n we have that

[(1.645*6)/0.7]²

= 14.1²

= 198.81 is approximately equal to 199

The company has to study 199 machines.

Eight less than four times a number is less then 56. What are the possible values of that number?
Mashutka [201]

Answer: B. X<12

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out what number multipled by 4 is less than 56

4 x 12 = 48

56-48 = 8

And 4 is lower/less than 12 so that's why it's B

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! NEED QUICK HELP ASAP! Photo added! least common denominator x^3/x^2+4x+4 and -9/x^2+5x+6
Oksanka [162]

The denominator( s ) we are given are x^2 + 4x + 4, and . The first thing we want to do is factor the expressions, to make this easier -

x^2 + 4x + 4

This expression is a perfect square, as ( x )^2 = x^2, ( 2 )^2 = 4, 2 * ( x ) * ( 2 ) = 4x. Thus, the simplified expression should be the following -

( x + 2 )^2

The other expression is, on the other hand, not a perfect square so we must break this expression into groups and attempt factorization -

x^2 + 5x + 6,\\\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(3x+6\right),\\x\left(x+2\right)+3\left(x+2\right),\\\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)\\\\Factored Expression = \left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)

Combining ( x + 2 )^2 and ( x + 2 )( x + 3 ), the expression that contains factors of each is ( x + 2 )^2 * ( x + 3 ), or in other words the LCM.

<u><em>Solution = </em></u>\left(x+2\right)^2\left(x+3\right)<u><em /></u>
