Step 1

Given; There are 5 tons of gravel divided equally by four dump trucks

Required; To find how much gravel is in one dump truck.

Step 2

Find how much gravel is in one dump truck.

$\begin{gathered} 1unit=\frac{\text{Total tons of gravel}}{\text{number of trucks}} \\ 1unit=\frac{5}{4}=1.25\text{ tons} \\ 4\text{units = 5 tons} \\ 1\text{ unit= 1.25tons} \end{gathered}$

Hence, each dump truck 1.25 tons of gravel

Hurrrryyyyy plllzzz. Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points

pashok25 [27]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

y = 2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To determine the equation of the line that passes through (10,2) and (-3,2), we need to determine the slope of the line. Then substitute the slope and any given point in point slope form to obtain the equation of the line.

<h3>Finding the Slope of the line:</h3>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

<u>Substitute the coordinates of the given points:</u>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{2 - 2}{-3 - 10 }$

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the slope:</u>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{0}{-3 - 10 }$

∴ 0 divided by ANY number is ALWAYS 0.

$\implies \text{Slope} =0$

<h3>Finding the equation of the line:</h3>

Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ and y₁ are the coordinates of any given point.
m is the slope

<u>Substitute the values in the point slope form:</u>

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1} )$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2 = 0(x - 10)$

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the equation of the line:</u>

∴ Any number multiplied by 0 is 0.

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2 = 0$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y = 0 + 2$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y = 2$

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 2.

An automobile manufacturer would like to know what proportion of its customers are not satisfied with the service provided by th

monitta

Answer:

a) n =1623

b) $ME=2.0538\sqrt{\frac{0.21 (1-0.21)}{1623}}=0.0208$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$n$ random sample taken

$\hat p=0.19$ estimated proportion of customers are not satisfied with the service provided by the local dealer

Confidence =0.96 or 96%

Me= 0.02 represent the margin of error

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Part a

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 96% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and $\alpha/2 =0.02$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.0538, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.0538$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.02$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.19(1-0.19)}{(\frac{0.02}{2.0538})^2}=1622.912$

And rounded up we have that n=1623

Part b

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

So then if w replace the value of n obtained from part a we got:

$ME=2.0538\sqrt{\frac{0.21 (1-0.21)}{1623}}=0.0208$

Which can be used to expand the expression below?

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

5(3x - 6/7)

Distributive Property would work because 5 has to be mutliplied by 3x and -6/7 to rid the parenthesis and also give a final answer for the equation. Any others will lead to a wrong answer.
