Answer:

271 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

15.95+0.92 x=265.27

0.92 x=265.27-15.95

.92 x=249.32

x=24932/92=271

a garage floor measures 150 feet by 120 feet. a scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of one unit : 15 feet. wha

Nadya [2.5K]

1 unit = 15 feet

150 feet / 1 unit = 150 / 15 = 10 units

120 feet / 1 unit = 120 / 15 = 8 units

The dimensions of the drawing equates :

10 units by 8 units .

Brewed decaffeinated coffee contains some caffeine. We want to estimate the amount of caffeine in 8 ounce cups of decaf coffee a

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

We would have to take a sample of 62 to achieve this result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence level of 95%.

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Assume that the standard deviation in the amount of caffeine in 8 ounces of decaf coffee is known to be 2 mg.

This means that $\sigma = 2$

If we wanted to estimate the true mean amount of caffeine in 8 ounce cups of decaf coffee to within /- 0.5 mg, how large a sample would we have to take to achieve this result?

We would need a sample of n.

n is found when $M = 0.5$ . So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.5 = 1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.5\sqrt{n} = 2*1.96$

Dividing both sides by 0.5

$\sqrt{n} = 4*1.96$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (4*1.96)^2$

$n = 61.5$

Rounding up

We would have to take a sample of 62 to achieve this result.
