Answer:

  • max: 28.5 inches
  • min: 27.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If the actual dimension were different from 28 inches by more than 1/2 inch, it would be reported as a different dimension. So, the minimum that will be reported as 28 is 27.5. The maximum that will be reported as 28 will be 28.4999999.... ≈ 28.5

The maximum and minimum length of the sheet are 28.5 inches and 27.5 inches, respectively.

At a university, 12% of students smoke. Calculate the expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this un
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a) The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

b) No, it is unlikely that smoking habits and waking up early to go to the gym on Saturday are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the expected numbers of smokers in a sample with size n=140 and proportion p=12%, we use the expected value of the binomial distribution:

E(x)=n\cdot p=140\cdot 0.12=16.8

The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

If we take a sample at the opening of the gym, the sample is not expected to be representative of the population of the students. Most of the students that go to the gym usually have healthy habits, so the proportions of smokers is expected to be lower than the average of the university population.

What greatest three digit number whose hundreds is two less than its ones digit
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

799

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hundreds digit

Let y = the ones digit

x = y-2

We want to maximize x and y.  The both have to be single digit numbers

Rewriting this

x+2 =y

The largest x can be is 7 if y is a single digit

x is 7 and y is 9

We can pick the tens digit.  Make it as big as possible to make out number as large as possible
