Many people feel that the drying of pavement marking paint is much too slow. You spend several days looking for the fastest dryi

ng paint you can find; you plan to measure the time (in seconds) for this paint to dry. From information provided by the paint supplier, you believe the time to dry is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3 seconds. How many paint samples would you need to test to be able to obtain an estimate of paint drying time that is within 2 seconds of the actual mean drying time with a probability of 99.5%?

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Using<em> Simple Random Sampling</em>, we can estimate the sample size by the formula

\bf n=\frac{Z^2S^2}{e^2}

where  

n = sample size

Z = the z-score corresponding to the confidence level 99.5%

S = the assumed standard deviation = 3 seconds

e = margin of error = 2 seconds

<em>It is worth noticing that the higher the confidence level, the larger the sample should be. </em>

The z-score corresponding to a confidence level of 99.5% can be obtained either with a table or the computer and equals

Z = 3.023

Replacing the values in our formula

\bf n=\frac{(3.023)^23^2}{2^2}=20.5616\approx 21

So the size of the sample should be at least 21.

<h3>​(-3j²k³)²(2j²k)³</h3>

(-3j²k³)²(2j²k)³ = <em>When a power is raised to a power the exponents have to be multiplied.​</em>

​= (-3²j⁽²*²⁾k⁽³*²⁾)(2³j⁽²*³⁾k³) = <em>We can take out the constants</em>

​= (9)(8)(j⁴k⁶)(j⁶k³) = <em>We can group the same variables</em>

= 72(j⁴j⁶)(k⁶k³) = <em>When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you have to add the exponents.​</em>

= 72 j⁽⁴⁺⁶⁾k⁽⁶⁺³⁾ = 72j¹⁰k⁹​

​Answer = 72j¹⁰k⁹

​Hope this helps!​​​​

Pls help me with this answer choice question! brainliest, rattings, thanks etc.

Answer:

graph B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3y - 5x < - 6

Since the inequality is < then the line must be broken

If ≤ then line would be solid

The only possible graphs are B and D

Choose a test point in the shaded region of each graph and check validity

graph B (2, 0) ← substitute into left side of inequality

0 - 5(2) = 0 - 10 = - 10 < - 6 ← this is valid

graph D (0, 0 ) ← substitute into left side of inequality

0 - 0 = 0 > - 6 ← this is not valid

Hence graph B is the correct graph

The club supplies 40 new balls for each player which cost $1 each. Each player pays $300 for the lessons. The club must pay each
den301095 [7]

Answer:

4 players and 1 instructor

Step-by-step explanation:

If all 4 players pay $300 each, that equals $1,200. The instructor will get $1,000 of it. That means there is $200 left. They need 40 balls per player. Each ball is $1, so that's $40 per player. 40 x 4= 160    200-160 = 40 The club will have $40 left.
