<em>Additional comment</em>
You have probably memorized pi to several digits: 3.1416. To obtain the required estimate means you need to approximate √70 to about the same level of precision.
For a number n = a² +b, the square root can be approximated by the continued fraction ...
√n ≈ a +b/(2a +b/(2a +...))
Effectively, the root (r) can be iterated from the recursive formula ...
r' = a +b/(a +r)
For √70, we have 70 = 8² +6 ⇒ a=8, b=6
If the initial approximation of the root is r0≈a=8, then a couple of iterations gives ...
r1 = 8 + 6/(8 +r0) = 8 + 6/(8 +8) = 8 3/8
r2 = 8 + 6/(8 +r1) = 8 +6/(8 +8 3/8) = 8 48/131
This has sufficient accuracy for the purpose. The decimal equivalent of the sum then becomes ...
3.1416 +8.3664 = 11.5080 ≈ 11.51

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A new catalyst is being investigated for use in the production of a plastic chemical. Ten batches of the chemical are produced. The mean yield of the 10 batches is 72.5% and the standard deviation is 5.8%. Assume the yields are independent and approximately normally distributed.
To find : A 99% confidence interval for the mean yield when the new catalyst is used ?
Solution :
Let X be the yield of the batches.
We have given, n=10 , , s=5.8%
Since the size of the sample is small.
We will use the student's t statistic to construct a 995 confidence interval.
From the t-table with 9 degree of freedom for
The 99% confidence interval is given by,
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well lets graph the following equation first,
H(x) = -.011(x - 82)^2 + 75
Then lets graph all the other equations.
Look at the image below↓
So A.
The purple line does not go farther or higher,
so A. is incorrect
B.
The black line goes higher and farther,
meaning it is correct.
C.
The red line goes farther but not higher.
So it is incorrect
D.
Again the blue line does not go farther of higher.
So its wrong.
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>answer choice B. </em> <em>is correct.</em>
