In circle O. AD and BE are diameters. The measure of arc AB is 55° and the measure of arc CD is 25° B с F D E What is the measur

klemol [59]

Answer:

100°

Step-by-step explanation:

the total of all angles around O on one side of AD is 180° (as that would represent a half-circle).

and the sum of the arc angles AB + BC + CD covers the whole 180°.

so, we have

180 = 55 + BC + 25

180 = 80 + BC

BC = 100°

Max wakes up at 7:00am. It take him 10 minutes to get dressed, and 5 minutes to eat breakfast. The bus will pick up max at 7:40a

irinina [24]

Note: I will be using the information in your attachment to answer the question.
Add the minutes to the initial time: 7:00 + 10 minutes + 7 minutes + 5 minutes = 7:22
He will be ready to board the bus at 7:22.
Subtract this time from the time the bus is schedule to pick him up: 7:40 - 7:22 = 18
Max will have 18 minutes before the bus picks him up.

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

First term: 5

Fourth term: 5 1/2

Tenth term: 6 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the first, fourth and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule:

A(n) = 5 + (n-1) (1/6)

First term:

A(1) = 5 + (1-1) (1/6)

A(1) = 5 + (0) (1/6)

A(1) = 5

Fourth term:

A(4) = 5 + (4-1) (1/6)

A(4) = 5 + (3) (1/6)

A(4) = 5 + 3/6 = 5 3/6 = 5 1/2 (simplifying)

Tenth term:

A(10) = 5 + (10-1) (1/6)

A(10) = 5 + (9) (1/6)

A (10) = 5 + 9/6 = 6 3/6 = 6 1/2 (simplifying)

The Wisconsin Dairy Association is interested in estimating the mean weekly consumption of milk for adults over the age of 18 in

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75$

±0.75 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: The Wisconsin Dairy Association is interested in estimating the mean weekly consumption of milk for adults over the age of 18 in that state. To do this, they have selected a random sample of 300 people from the designated population. The following results were recorded: xbar=34.5 ounces, s=7.9 ounces Given this information, if the leaders wish to estimate the mean milk consumption with 90 percent confidence, what is the approximate margin of error in the estimate?

Previous concepts

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".

$\bar X=34.5$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=7.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=300 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=300-1=299$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,199)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.653$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75$

±0.75 ounce
