Determine the sample size needed to construct a 99​% confidence interval to estimate the average GPA for the student population

Answer: n = 14

Step-by-step explanation: margin of error = critical value × σ/√n

Where σ = population standard deviation = 1

n = sample size = ?

We are to construct a 99% confidence interval, hence the level of significance is 1%.

The critical value for 2 tailed test at 1% level of significance is gotten from a standard normal distribution table which is 2.58

Margin of error = 0.7

0.7 = 2.58×1/√n

0.7 = 2.58/√n

By cross multipying

0.7×√n = 2.58

By squaring both sides

0.7^2 × n = 2.58^2

0.49 × n = 6.6564

n = 6.6564/0.49

n = 14

The sum of two rational numbers is −3/5 . If one of them is −9/20, find the other.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

-3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let other number = x

∴ -9/20 + x = -3/5

∴ x = -3/5 + 9/20

∴ x = -3/20

Hope this helps  :) !!!!

7. A triangle has sides with lengths of 10 metres,
Kay [80]

Answer:

It is not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove this by Pythagorean theorem because it represents to a right triangle.

Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

Now substitute the values.

Note: the longest side will represent c

So,

a = 10 m

b = 16 m

c = 20 m

10² + 16² = 20²

The objective here is to make them equal.

100 + 256 = 400

356 ≠ 400

They are not equal so it is not considered a right triangle.

John swam halfway across a circular pond (radius). He has gone 132 yds. What is the diameter of the pond?
netineya [11]

Answer:

D. 264yards

Step-by-step explanation:

If John swam halfway across a circular pond (radius) and he has gone 132 yds, then the radius of the circular pond is 132yards.

Diameter of the pond = 2×radius of the pond

Diameter of the pond = 2×132

Diameter of the pond = 264yards
