Answer:

Since 5 9/16 is closest to 6, and 4 1/8 is closest to the benchmark 4. The total of the benchmark is 10. So, Parker's estimate is (I'm assuming the dropdown had "wrong" as an option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parker assumed that Mr.Thompson used about nine pounds of pancake mix. Parker was fairly close but just one off. If you were to solve this without having to use a whole number for an estimate. The answer would be 9 11/16, instead of 10. Anyways, I should explain why 5 9/16 is round to 6. It's rounded to six as a whole number because 9/16 is over half of 16. Half of 16 is "8".So anything that is 8/16 and up is automatically round to the number ahead (that's whole).

I hope this helps!!!

Please mark brainliest :)

Given the linear programming problem, use the method of corners to determine where the minimum occurs and give the minimum value
algol [13]

Answer:

Minimum value of function C=x+10y is 63 occurs at point (3,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

To minimize :

                                   C=x+10y

Subject to constraints:

                                   x\leq 3---(1)\\y\leq 9---(2)\\x+y\geq 9----(3)\\x\geq 0\\y\geq 0

Eq (1) is in blue in figure attached and region satisfying (1) is on left of blue line

Eq (2) is in green in figure attached and region satisfying (2) is below the green line

Considering x+y\geq 9, corresponding coordinates point to draw line are (0,9) and (9,0).

Eq (3) makes line in orange in figure attached and region satisfying (3) is above the orange line

Feasible region is in triangle ABC with common points A(0,9), B(3,9) and C(3,6)

Now calculate the value of function to be minimized at each of these points.

                                    C=x+10y

at A(0,9)

                                     C=0+10(9)\\C=90

at B(3,9)

                                     C=3+10(9)\\C=93

at C(3,6)

                                     C=3+10(6)\\C=63

Minimum value of function C=x+10y is 63 occurs at point C (3,6).

When 258 college students are randomly selected and surveyed, it is found that 106 own a car. Find a 99% confidence interval for
juin [17]

Answer: 0.332 < p < 0.490

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

, where n= sample size

\hat{p} = sample proportion

z* = critical z-value.

As per given , we have

n= 258

Sample proportion of college students who own a car = \hat{p}=\dfrac{106}{258}\approx0.411

Critical z-value for 99% confidence interval is 2.576. (By z-table)

Therefore , the  99% confidence interval for the true proportion(p) of all college students who own a car will be :0.411\pm (2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.411(1-0.411)}{258}}\\\\=0.411\pm (2.576)\sqrt{0.00093829}\\\\= 0.411\pm (2.576)(0.0306315197142)\\\\=0.411\pm 0.0789=(0.411-0.0789,\ 0.411+0.0789)\\\\=(0.3321,\ 0.4899)\approx(0.332,\ 0.490)

Hence, a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of all college students who own a car : 0.332 < p < 0.490
