Each paper clip is 3/4 of an inch long and costs $.02. Exactly enough paper clips are laid end to end to have a total length of

36 inches. What is the total cost of these paper clips?

So,
3/4=0.75
36/0.75=48
You need 48 paperclips to make it end to end.
The cost is:
48 x 0.02=0.96
The total cost is $0.96

Hope I helped!

Write an equation of the circle with center (-7,4) and radius 11.

olga_2 [115]

Answer: (x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 121 or (x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 11^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ , which is the center $(h,k)$ and the radius $r^2$

-Place the center (-7,4) and radius 11 onto that equation:

$(x+7)^2+(y-4)^2=121$ (if simplified radius needed)

or

$(x+7)^2(y-4)^2=11^2$

A veterinarian wants to know if pit bulls or golden retrievers have a higher incidence of tooth decay at the age of three. The v

Answer: B) [-0.0332,0.1332]

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Confidence</u> <u>Interval</u> is an interval where we can be a percentage sure the true mean is.

The confidence interval for a difference in population proportion is calculated following these steps:

First, let's find population proportion for each population:

$p_{1}=\frac{30}{120}=0.25$

$p_{2}=\frac{32}{160}=0.2$

Second, calculate standard deviation for each proportion:

$\sigma_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{0.25(0.75)}{120} } = 0.0395$

$\sigma_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{0.2(0.8)}{160} } = 0.0316$

Now, we calculate standard error for difference:

$SE=\sqrt{\sigma_{1}^{2}+\sigma_{2}^{2}}$

$SE=\sqrt{0.0395^{2}+0.0316^{2}}$

SE = 0.0505

The z-score for a 90% CI is 1.645.

Then, confidence interval is

$p_{1}-p_{2}$ ± z-score.SE

$0.25-0.2$ ± $1.645(0.0505)$

0.05 ± 0.0831

The limits of this interval are:

inferior: 0.05 - 0.0831 = $-0.0332$

superior: 0.05 + 0.0831 = 0.1332

The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the population proportion of pit pulls and golden retrievers is $[-0.0332,0.1332]$ .
