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.

Identify each pair of angles as corresponding, Alternate interior, alternate exterior, or consecutive interior and solve for X
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

19). Angles measuring 90° and (21x + 6)° are Alternate exterior angles.

     Therefore, 21x + 6 = 90

     2x = 90 - 6

     2x = 84

      x = 42

21). Angles measuring 60° and (8x - 4)° are Alternate interior angles,

      8x - 4 = 60

      8x = 60 + 4

      x = \frac{64}{8}

      x = 8

23). Since, angles measuring (-1 + 14x)° and (12x + 17)° are Alternate exterior angles

    Therefore, (-1 + 14x) = (12x + 17)

     14x - 12x = 17 + 1

     2x = 18

      x = 9

25). Both the angles (x + 96)° and (x + 96)° are consecutive interior angles.

      Therefore, (x + 96)° + (x + 96)° = 180° [Property of consecutive interior angles]

      2x + 192 = 180

      2x = 180 - 192

      2x = -12

       x = -6

       Now measure of (x + 96)° = -6 + 96

                                                = 90°

26). Both the angles (20x + 5)° and (24x - 1)° are consecutive interior angles.

      Therefore, (20x + 5)° + (24x - 1)° = 180°

       44x + 4 = 180

       44x = 176

        x = 4

B+ p= 10.40
b=2x 2.50
Now using substitution method replace b in first equation with value of second equation basically combing the two equations into one do you end up with one variable to solve .
2 x 2.50 +p =10.40
5 + p=10.40
P=$5.40
b =$5.00
The answer is EACH pendant cost $2.70
(You have to divide 5.40 by two )
