Answer:

The confidence interval is 6.6<μ<6.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

Number of observations = 601

Mean = 6.7

Standard deviation σ = 1.5

The z-score for a 95% confidence interval is 1.96.

The limits of the confidence interval can be calculated as

X \pm z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\LL=X-z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=6.7-1.96*\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{601} } =6.7-0.1199=6.6\\\\UL=X+z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=6.7+1.96*\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{601} } =6.7+0.1199=6.8

The confidence interval is 6.6<μ<6.8.

Use complete sentences to describe how measurements of position in two directions (vertical and horizontal) are sufficient enoug
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
By using a coordinate system I believe you can find the position of any objects on a flat surface.

If you have an eraser on your table and would like to know its position, you could make your own x and y axis and see in which quadrant your object is in.
your eraser could be 2 units in the x direction (horizontal) and 5 units in the y direction (vertical). 

Now you can use this 'x and y' axis that you have drawn to locate any object. 
If you want to be accurate, you should draw your axes with a meter ruler and choose your point of origin.

Hope I answered your question.

Mikaela friends brought a big box of crackers to the movies. 53 crackers are whole wheat and 29 are cheese flavored. The remaini
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 123 crackers

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/3 of the box contains sesame seed crackers, then, 2/3 of the box contains whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers.

Total number of whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers = 53 + 29 = 82

Let x be the total number of crackers in the box, so we will have the equation

2/3 x= 82

x = 82 ÷ 2/3; we will get

X =82 x 3/2

X = 123 crackers
