Suppose the shipping weight of your cheese shop's customized gift baskets is asymmetrically distributed with unknown mean and st

andard deviation. For a sample of 70 orders, the mean weight is 57 ounces and the standard deviation is 7.1 ounces. What is the lower bound of the 90 percent confidence interval for the gift basket's average shipping weight

The lower bound of the 90% confidence interval for the gift basket's average shipping weight is 55.605.

Given mean weight of 57 ounces ,sample size 70 ,confidence level 90% and standard deviation of 7.1 ounces.

We have to find the lower bound of the confidence interval for the gift's basket's avrage shipping weight.

We can easily find the confidence interval and its lower bound through theformula of margin of error.

Margin of error is the difference between real values and calculated values.

Margin of error=z*σ/\sqrt{n}

where z is the critical value of confidence level

σ is standard deviation,

n is the sample size

We have to first find the z value for 90% confidence level which is 1.645.

Margin of error=1.645*7.1/\sqrt{70}

=11.6795/8.3666

=1.395

Lower bound of the confidence interval = Mean - margin of error

=57-1.395

=55.605.

Hence the lower bound of the confidence interval for the gift basket's average shipping weight is 55.605.

2x-4y=0<br> -x+2y=1<br><br> trying to solve
Leni [432]

So you have your equations: 2x-4y=0 and -x+2y=1

Depending on the variable you want to take out, depends on how your equation will be set up, but, I'm going to take out X.

With the first equation you subtract 2x from 0 which leaves you with -4y=-2

Divide the sum and you get a positive 2x.

Plug 2 into X on the following equation, it should look like this. -2+2y=1. This time you're trying to find Y so, add 2 to 1 and you get 2y=3. Divide this and it should give you a decimal.

-2x-2y=-8<br> -4x-8y=-20
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

-2x-2y=-8

-4x-8y=-20

From the 1st eqn

Dividing through by 2

you have

-x-y=-4

Multiply through by -(minus)

x+y=4

x=4-y

Substitute into eqn 2

-4x-8y=-20

-4(4-y)-8y=-20

-16 + 4y - 8y = -20

-4y = -20 +16

-4y = -4

y= 1

Substitute into any of the other eqn's to get x

x= 4-y

x= 4-1

x=3

The height of water shooting from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = −0.2x2 − 2.8x − 5.4 where x is the distance from
balandron [24]
Start by setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the -5.4 over to the other side of the equals sign.  -.2 x^{2} -2.8x=5.4.  The first rule for completing the square is that the leading coefficient be a +1.  Ours is a -.2.  So we need to factor it out. -.2( x^{2} +14x)=5.4.  Now we will take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 14.  Half of 14 is 7, and 7 squared is 49.  So we add 49 in to the left side just fine, but we cannot forget about that -.2 hanging around out front as a multiplier.  What we have actually "added" in is -.2*49 which is -9.8.  Now here's what we have after all that: -.2( x^{2} +14x+49)=5.4-9.8.  In that process, we have created a perfect square binomial on the left.  Along with expressing that binomial we will do the math on the right: -.2(x+7) ^{2} =-4.4.  Now we will move the -4.4 back over by addition, and it will then be apparent as to what our vertex is.  The y coordinate of the vertex will give us the max height of the water.  -.2(x+7) +4.4=y.  As you can see, our work matches choice C from above.

How do you solve equations like this: 7 5/6? can someone explain it? <br> (7 5/6 is just an example)
Wittaler [7]
A  b/c is a mixed number, we can turn a mixed number into  its simplest form in this way:
a  b/c= a +  b/c=(a*c+b)/c

In this case:
7  5/6=7+  5/6=(7*6+5)/6=(42+5)/6=47/6

Therefore:  7  5/6  =47/6
