Answer:

$3.7625

Step-by-step explanation: I may be wrong but...

If you find 75% of $2.15 it is equal to $1.6125.

Since in "increases" we are going to add $1.6125 to $2.15.

You get the answer of $3.7625.

Answer:

The confidence interval for 90% confidence would be narrower than the 95% confidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 41

For a 95% confidence the level of significance is $\alpha = [100 - 95]\% = 0.05$ and

the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} }= 1.96$

For a 90% confidence the level of significance is $\alpha = [100 - 90]\% = 0.10$ and

the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.10 }{2} }= 1.645$

So we see with decreasing confidence level the critical value decrease

Now the margin of error is mathematically represented as

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

given that other values are constant and only $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ is varying we have that

$E\ \ \alpha \ \ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$

Hence for reducing confidence level the margin of error will be reducing

The confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E$

Now looking at the above formula and information that we have deduced so far we can infer that as the confidence level reduces , the critical value reduces, the margin of error reduces and the confidence interval becomes narrower

Which equation can be used to represent six added to twice the sum of a numbee and four is equal to one half of the difference o

Ronch [10]

Answer: $6 + 2 (x+4)$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ $(3-x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x , then :

six added to twice the sum of a number and four means :

$6 + 2 (x+4)$

one half of the difference of three and the number means :

$\frac{3}{2}$ $(3-x)$

combining the two , we have

$6 + 2 (x+4)$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ $(3-x)$

Answer:

the answer is C, 369

Step-by-step explanation:

1. divide 800 by 40 which will give you 20

2. then multiply 18 by 20

3. answer is 360

the reason I did this was because if you had multiplied math, physics and chemistry by 20 it would have given you the total of 800 trials
