Let the number of seats of the smaller van be "x".  Since it travels two times in the morning, it will be 2x.  The bigger van has 14 more seats than the small one, so it will be x + 14.  To find the value of x, the formula would be,

65 = 2x + x + 14
65 = 3x + 14
65 - 14 = 3x
51 = 3x
51/3 = x
17 = x

The value of x is 17.

Van A = 17 seats + 14 seats = 31 seats
Van B = 2 (17 seats) = 34 seats

Van A has 31 seats for 31 people for a single trip.
Van B has 17 seats, and since it has two trips, it can transport 34 people.

A biologist is studying a bacteria population that initially contains 10^3 bacteria. In the lab, the population doubles every we
iragen [17]

Answer: 8000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the expression 10³ × 2^w models the population of the bacteria after w weeks.

The number of bacteria that will be present in 3 weeks will then be:

= 10³ × 2^w

= 10³ × 2³

= 1000 × 8

= 8000 bacterias

A 95% confidence interval for a population mean is computed from a sample of size 400. Another 95% confidence interval will be c
Anna [14]

Answer:

The interval from the sample of size 400 will be approximately <u>One -half as wide</u> as the interval from the sample of size 100

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the 95% confidence interval is dependent on the value of the margin of error at a constant sample mean or sample proportion

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }    

Here assume that Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \ and \  \sigma \ is constant so

     E =  \frac{k}{\sqrt{n} }

=>  E \sqrt{n} = K

=>   E_1 \sqrt{n}_1 =  E_2 \sqrt{n}_2

So  let  n_1 = 400 and n_2 =  100

=>   E_1 \sqrt{400} =  E_2 \sqrt{100}

=>  E_1 =  \frac{\sqrt{100} }{\sqrt{400} } E_2

=>  E_1 =  \frac{1}{2 } E_2

So From this we see that  the confidence interval for a sample size of 400 will be half that with a sample size of 100

The hypotenuese of an isosceles right triangle is 16 inches. The midpoints of its sides are connected to form an inscribed trian
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

  256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the first inscribed triangle are 1/2 those of the original, so its area is (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original. The area of the original is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16/√2)(16/√2) = 64 . . . . square inches

The sum of an infinite series with first term 64 and common ratio 1/4 is ...

  S = a1/(1 -r) . . . . . . for first term a1 and common ratio r

  = 64/(1 -1/4) = 64(4/3) = 256/3 . . . . square inches

The sum of the areas of the triangles is 256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches.
