Answer:

A. 60

Step-by-step explanation:

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

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

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

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

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.

We have to find:

n when M = 3, \sigma = 9. So

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

3 = 2.575*\frac{9}{\sqrt{n}}

3\sqrt{n} = 9*2.575

Dividing both sides by 3

\sqrt{n} = 3*2.575

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (3*2.575)^{2}

n = 59.68

We round up, so the correct answer is:

A. 60

Work out the size of one of the exterior angles
hodyreva [135]

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>Information</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

  • A polygon with 10 sides ( Decagon )

⠀

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

  • The value of one of the exterior angles

⠀

<u>Formula</u><u> </u><u>Used</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

\qquad \diamond \:  \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \sf Exterior ~angle = \dfrac {360^\circ}{no. ~of~sides}}}} \:  \star

⠀

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

Putting the given values, we get,

⠀

\sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle =  \dfrac{360  ^\circ}{10} \:  \:   \\  \\  \\ \sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle =  \frac{36 \cancel{0}^\circ}{ \cancel{10}} \:  \:   \\  \\  \\ \sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle =  \underline{ \boxed{ \frak{ \red{36^\circ}}}} \: \star \\  \\

Thus, the value of the exterior angles of a Decagon is 36°.

⠀

\underline{ \rule{227pt}{2pt}} \\  \\
